[edit] Dead?

Why does her status say "dead"? Does this refer to something like the fact that she isn't on any airing show anymore? Or does it mean she dies at the end of the series? Cause if it's the latter, it would be a spoiler. --Mithcoriel 23:15, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

I was EXTREMELY annoyed reading her status of being dead. I went to this webpage just curious to see how the article on Xena was like, and I was only in the middle of the 6th season when I read this spoiler. Something should be done about labelling the status of characters that way. I did not even see it coming; I was hoping the sidebar would be similar to X-men and mutants, listing their powers, NOT their statuses. (207.161.7.185 21:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Duplicate article?

There is already a page for Xena: Warrior Princess. Please add any information you have to that page. DJ Clayworth 19:13, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

• This is a page about the main character Xena from the television series. The other page is about the television series itself.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.127.146.130 (talk • contribs) .

• I agree. This is the page for the character, whereas the other page is for the television series Artemisboy 00:54, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Where are the anachronisms?????

This page deserves a list of anachronisms as Xena is the [re-]inventor of anachrony!!!!!!!!!!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.106.79.71 (talk • contribs) .

That would certainly be interesting. Any takers to compile a list? Bards 16:37, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Where are the Lesbians!?!?

I didn't watch this show that much but shouldn't there be a section added by someone in the know that deals with the lesbian undertones of Xena and Gabrielle. Come on, everyone knew something was happening there.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Docbrown777 (talk • contribs) .

This is a matter of interpretation. A lesbian relationship is seen by some viewers, and not by others. The writers of the show deliberately kept it ambiguous, and played on the idea, after discovering that they had a large lesbian fanbase. But there is no definitive proof one way or the other. Bards 16:33, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Mm-hm. In one episode, Xena and Gabrielle even kissed each other. Although, that was when Xena was dead and showed up in the body of another guy, so I guess Gabrielle was just so glad to see her. But still: they gently kissed with their mouths. --Mithcoriel 23:17, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Should there be a page about Xena Conventions?

What Mythology was Xena based on?

Bards, that isn't the point. Most things like this are unreferencable and don't belong because they are a matter of perspective, but there are published articles, I'm sure, and interviews with the cast and crew, that deal with this subject. Therefore that info meets the criteria to be in this article by wikipedia guidelines and policies. 66.41.66.213 22:12, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

In that case, the issue could be dicussed, presenting external links to support both points of view. I wasn't saying it should be excluded, only that is wasn't accepted as fact by everyone.

[edit] The Pinch

So who taught her the pinch technique, M'Lila or Akemi? --DrBat 01:29, 20 May 2006 (UTC) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page M'Lila taught Xena. Xena taught Akemi. 02:10, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Don't forget Michael, If I have the power to kill Gods..."

There is POSSIBLY a really big continuity error in "The God You Know" from season 6. Xena stated in Motherhood that "as long as Eve lives I have the power to kill Gods..." However if Michael really wanted Eve to be murdered in order to incur Xena's wrath resulting in the destruction of Caligula, then isn't that pointless? I mean, Eve would be dead and Xena would not have her God killing ability any longer. Hmmmmmm....the only thing I can think of is that Michael wanted Xena to see Eve ABOUT TO BE murdered, as she did in Caligula's chambers (for lack of a better word) and do the whole "kill first ask questions later" routine. And that he didn't count on her loyalty to Aphrodite.

[edit] Title change

It appears that the tenth planet could be officially named Xena. Any opinions about moving the page to Xena (character)?? Georgia guy 16:57, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

No way. Firstly, Xena won't be ther name of 2003 UB₃₁₃ because it is the name of a fictional TV character that does not exist in Greek mythology, according to Wikipedia. Secondly , IF 2003 UB₃₁₃ had been able to be named Xena it would be in recognition of the TV Xena, which gives a pretty good indication of which one should have an article named Xena. Moriori 02:39, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, this means it makes sense to you that Jupiter (god) should be at Jupiter and the planet at Jupiter (planet). Georgia guy 13:53, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Tee hee. Real time reality has to rule regarding precedence IMMHO, which is why I would prefer Xena and Xena (planet), and Jupiter and Jupiter (mythology). Articles about similarly named subjects should reflect reality too, or it it can be very confusing. Wikipedia has Kaka the chocolate biscuit, Kaká the footballer and Kākā the bird. But if you type in "Kaka" to find the biscuit you are taken straight to Kaká the footballer, where a disamb directs you to Kākā the bird and Kaka the biscuit which you discover resides at the Swedish Wiki. There is also a disamb to the folk dance kaka at a page yet to be created. So yes, I think article names should reflect reality, and real time reality. Moriori 08:00, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Webisodes

This section needs to be cleaned up. There should also be a link to it.--DrBat 19:53, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] When is Xena: Warrior Princess on?

Xena: Warrior Princess airs every week day at 8:00am on the "oh oxygen" channel. So now you can get your daily Xena fix at 8 in the morning.

your welcome ~a Xena and Ares fan~

[edit] Xena outside the TV?

I added a small part on xena and the eventual movies which was deleted due lack of quotations, but still there is a story of xena outside TV; in the animated movie, the eventual live movie and the Dark Horse comics. If the televised period is on, there should also be a category for the adventures of the character outside the silver screen.

It'd make sense for this to be on the Xena: Warrior Princess entry as they are adaptations of the series and this is the character. I have previously discussed starting a new entry for the comics here [1] (Emperor 23:34, 24 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Suggestion to remove the "Status" portion of each Xena character

I'd do it myself but it will just get reverted. I have a suggestion to PLEASE remove the "Status: Dead" on each character bio in the Xenaverse. Someone who hasn't watched the series yet can determine the fate of Xena by going to this page. It is, after all, see-able once navigating to Xena's wikipedia page.

The page now has a spoiler tag at the top of the page, so if people read any further that's their choice.--NeilEvans 00:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Is the Status of the character that important, on the sidebar? Such information should be found through detailed reading, and not by some summarizing sidebar (which, by the way, isn't even scrolled down enough NOT to accidentally see the information.

I have no strong view on this, except that to give away Xena's status as "dead" at the end of the show is by far the biggest shock that could be given to a fan. (NB the section at the top of this page about this) Perhaps Xena's status could be changed to "Classified" or something amusingly ambiguous. Bards 10:20, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

My opinion is don't read articles about things which may contain spoilers for you.--NeilEvans 22:25, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Human?

The article states Xena's human, but that's not confirmed, is it? ~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 17:05, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Neither is it stated that she is anything other than human.--NeilEvans 19:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I know that. Some scripts and some cast interviews said she was Ares' daughter, but I guess it's all moot anyway.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 20:52, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
