Just to highlight how wonderfully unique Xena: Warrior Princess was.. In the first five minutes we've had Xena ride through a war ruined village, have flashbacks that she ordered it, give food to a child who's parents were killed in the conflict, and bury her armour and weapons. This weird guy was then immediately and comically introduced as a bad guy.
Then she fought him in what could be considered a shift, and introduced herself to the woman who would become the love of her life. She then snuck into a war camp led by an ex boyfriend with a silly haircut who recruited people into his band by having them SHOOT ARROWS AT HIM
About 10 minutes later she's fighting an INCREDIBLY whiny cyclops which she blinded years before. She wins in under a minute (after taunting him) by throwing her chakram at his belt and breaking it, which makes his trousers fall down, tripping him.
We are LESS THAN 15 minutes in. This show was WILD 😂

I have to say just the act of watching Xena is really clearing my skin and watering my crops right now after all the male-dominated shows I've seen over the years that keep fridging their best female characters for sake of man pain.
Whereas in Xena, if you're a dude who manages to develop a remotely romantic connection with one of the female leads there's a 99.99% chance that you're going to get killed before the episode is over.
It's a thing of beauty.
(Sorry not sorry. *cackles*)
