One of the biggest things I HATED about that episode is the fact that it wasn't set in Greece. That just pissed me off. I don't know why they thought introducing a new land and a whole cast of characters on the SERIES finale was a great idea. Ugh, I'm still kind of bitter about it.
I agree with you about Xena's death being hard to handle. She had died and been brought back to life so many times during the series run, that by the time the final episode rolled around I was pretty jaded about the characters "dying." When it was reviled that Xena really wouldn't be coming back I remember yelling at the TV. It just wasn't fair. I wanted my super heroine to live on forever, not die in some pointless battle. Damn you, Rob and Sam.
I really want to rewatch the series now! It's been so long! I just might have to do that. :D Oh, and that's mean of your sister. >:(
My sister doesn't understand how much this show means to me. She thinks I am crazy - as do most of my friends and family. You totally should rewatch the series! Heck, join us for our Xena night on FB this month :)
Words cannot express how much we agree on this show. Its affect on our lives and the impact it has made on the path we walk and the lives we lead are disturbingly(and comfortingly) similar. The love and sentiments we share for it and its characters and actors are unfathomable and indescribable. What made me cry the most really about the finale was gabrielle. Thinking about how far she'd come, what she came to at this point, who she was and who she became and the journey in between. Thinking about that made me cry almost more than the loss of xena. Which is something that I don't think I will ever fully recover from. Nor, I doubt, will you. My family teased me too. Though not that badly.
To me, it was the thought of Gabrielle being alone. It still breaks my heart. I think if they had died together then I could have taken solace that they were together. But to see Gabrielle alone. Ouch. I loved seeing how far Gabrielle had come. Still my second favourite theme of the series, number one being their relationship.
I don't think I'll ever get over it because of the huge impact it had on me. It became too much a part of me. Probably the same reason I doubt you'll get over it either. I love that I have found a Xenite who agrees with my beliefs of the show. It is comforting! :)
My family and friends have kind of a mean streak. It's part of why I love them ;) I give as good as I get. I just wished they'd leave Xena alone!
Looking forward to seeing the rest of your posts :D
Well yeah, that broke my heart. The thought of xena choosing to leave gabrielle was something that I still refuse to accept. Xena would never leave gabrielle alone. And I mean, how can you spend six years defining why these two are meant to be together, will be together in every life, why they need each other and then split them up? I will never understand this.
I have relevant wallpapers to be shared when I get home. My family...they are just... they don't get me. I feel VERY much like gabrielle in the beginning. And what do people do when they don't understand something? They mock it.
i was gonna post thumbs of just a couple wallpapers, but then i looked at my season 6 page and realized, they're ALL relevant. so here's the link for that. but i'm gonna post this one as a thumb cuz it's one of my favorites ever.

I do actually like the last episodes, even though you and many others have a point. It should have been set in Greece. Still, I liked it. And cried my eyes out every time I saw it. I have seen it all in all of three times. Not the directors cut though. I should, shouldn't I? :-P
