I went to school crying when Gabby fell down the big firey pit to kill her daughter and save Xena.
Ahh, yes! It's interesting to look back at which episodes I actually remember (because I was always fighting with my parents because they wanted to watch ER at the same time Xena was on, plus I was still young enough towards the beginning seasons that they were like "Err, nope. Not watching this episode"). That's one of them. "Ides of March" was also one that always got me. I still have trouble not crying when they're all "I've always loved you. You were the best thing that ever happened to me. *dies*" And then the angel bit at the end? Tres sad. And "A Friend in Need" I refuse to watch. At all. Because I hated that episode. Not only is it sad because they kill Xena, but did they really have to do it in such a gruesome manner? That's actually one that I remember from when it first ran, but I assume that my parents didn't let me see the gory bits. Still. Tis disturbing. I used to refuse to believe that the events in the episode actually happened, but then I started taking the Virtual Series as canon (as one of the actual show authors wrote the two-parter that brought Xena back in the virtual series and several more episodes, I had no problem taking it as such) so I'll allow that it happened, but only provided that she came back soon after. /is a geek
Hee, fanclub. Unoficially, I totally was. I used to make up/write fanfiction for them way back when, before I knew that fanfiction was an actual thing. But I am the stingiest person with money ever, and I shelled out the $200 for the complete 6 seasons on DVD, which I think says a lot about how much I was obsessed with that show. The DVDs which my brother then ruined about 4 disks of and scratched all to hell several more. Grr. But still. It's not one of those shows that I watch and then don't pull out the DVDs for again for a year or more like some of the DVD sets that I've got, because especially with some of the deeper episodes like "Ides of March", you catch little things (namely more subtext, but also inside jokes and cool filmography bits and such) every time.
Well at least I haven't had to use another comment box so I don't feel so long-winded.
Hey, it's all good. I've done the three comment box thing multiple times (and do the two comment box thing every couple of days), so longwindedness isn't any kind of problem here.
