Haha I used to watch this show when it came out, but sometimes I would miss episodes. Now that I'm binge watching it (just finished first season, started 2nd) I remember why I loved it. All the references and interactions with historical figures and history in general remind me of Forrest Gump, and since I'm watching every single episode now I find there are lots more references that I missed. They helped Santa and at end of episode they find Jesus Mary and Joseph?!! Haha priceless. I love this show.

Xena writing and storylines and references really was top notch. Xena had Santa, Caesar, Jesus, God, Heaven and Hell, Lucifer, The North Star, Xena inventing CPR, Greek Mythology, Amazons, Ancient China, Devi and Indian Mythology, Japanese samurai stuff, past lives, present day episodes, alternate lives and realities, musical episodes (which Buffy and 7th heaven then copied!), and so much more I can’t even think of right now. This is why I always say Xena is the best show ever.

Yes!! Even in general, just references to other cultures in general, yesterday I watched an episode where a friend of Xena was the Sheriff of a town, and throughout the show they played old west music. She even had a cowboy hat on!! Haha priceless
