Xena: Warrior Princess

First post for Babes and Blades. Only suiting it should be regarding the television series Xena Warrior Princess. (1995-2001) Xena and her trusty sidekick Gabrielle, sent me barreling down the cinematic road of strong weapon wielding women with fiery gusto and over the top humor. No matter where my campy film viewing has brought me I always ricochet back to Xena and Gabby.

Besides seeing some babes kick some serious highly unlikely and beautifully orchestrated ass, what is this show really about? C'mon people say it with me...FRIENDSHIP(or lesbians). Six whole seasons of it. Encompassed in all the guts and glory, you get some real feel good life reminders. -Not to mention the familiar cheesy humor of producers Sam Rami and Robert Tapert (Evil Dead Trilogy).

Quick Quote/Fan Favorite/ Season 2 Episode 15 A Day In The Life:
Gabrielle: [Xena has destroyed a frying pan using it as a weapon] Xena, this was our only frying pan. Why do you do that? You have weapons, don't you?
Xena: I like to be creative in a fight. It gets my juices going.
Gabrielle: Can we cook with your juices?

Xena's noteworthy weapon the Chakram, when thrown, slams and slices her opponents and other objects before returning to Xena's awaiting grip with its ever steadfast boomerang motion. Inspired by the Indian throwing weapon chakram or chalikar.
