Posted by Latte-Catte@reddit | xena | View on Reddit | 3 comments

This is a community interactive Xena REWATCH thread—to encourage those who wish re-watching Xena with other xenites on a weekly basis. And to those who are just joining us, you can still jump in and discuss!

^((I’ll post weekly and follow the episodes chronologically, for those who have time to sneak in some Xena, and those who (probably) don’t.))

This week from Sept 04 until Sept 10, we will watch the following s2 episodes:

Blind Faith (season 2, episode 18)
Ulysses (season 2, episode 19)
The Price (season 2, episode 20)

For those asking: Where can I watch Xena Warrior Princess and Hercules the Legendary Journey?

In the US, it is available on Amazon, Prime. It is also on Apple TV. You can purchase season 1 to season 6 on Youtube and Fandago. It is also streaming live on Roku Channel (for free)!!

For the viewers in Greece, you can watch the entire Xena Warrior Princess in Greek dubbed/subtitled on Xena Greece Youtube Channel (only available in Greece regionally).

For anyone who wish to buy the complete series to finally watch Xena (not sure how to find dubbings in other languages), you should purchase the full Anchor Bay DVD sets on eBay.

And for everyone outside of these region, where Xena is completely unavailable to find, make sure you download adblockers to access certain streaming sites. You may look through this reddit post, AND xenagabrielle.com is now available; but please remember to use AD-BLOCKERS for safety!!

The Price is definitely an interesting episode where we get to see Gabrielle witness Xena slide back into her bad self. It's good to see Gabby not to lose her own goodness and try to do the right thing and push back against Xena's darkness. Luckily Xena snaps out of it and sees that Gabby is right.

Lucy usually "sells" even the most unbelievable. She didn't do that for me as sightless in BLIND FAITH. I did like Paleamon and Vidalis.

I don't dislike ULYSSES as so many other fans do. While I didn't feel any particular chemistry between the actor and Lucy, I found it credible that their characters would resonate with each other. I though Renee (as usual) did a good job balancing Gabs' role as the "significant other" in Xena's life, with her desire to see the WP happy, even if it meant accepting a third party.

THE PRICE is one of my series' standouts. Xena's cold, calculating demeanor, especially with Gabs, showed in a different way how close to the surface that side of her could be even when she wasn't acting out of instinctual rage. Gabs once again shows she'll stick to her principles despite Xena's objections and at the risk of her own life. I think it's one of the best written (Sears), directed (Sassoney) and executed eps.

I think Ulysseus could have been better if they actually wrote his character better. I get from a meta standpoint if they wanted to keep it just Xena and Gabby traveling around, but they turned Ulysseus into such a jerk once he got home and found out his wife was still alive. Like he wasn't even willing to make it it work after spending time talking about how much he loved her.
