Xena Warrior Princess - Season Two

I really like this series so glad I found it again discs are in excellent condition from Goodwill Books can't wait to watch this season

All good

The series takes me back to when I was growing up. I still love all the characters in it. It still holds up to my memory. I miss dramatic and comedic TV shows that use such great sound effects.

Love the show but the film quality is low and pixelated. And, no, it's not my TV

This season of Xena was a true masterpiece in every respect of the word. It was around this time that the show gained wild popularity as well as a good chunk of it's fanbase...and it's no wonder! These episodes were packed with the action adventure & eternally noble themes surrounding the deeds of Xena, a warrior who had forsaken her plundering days of evil conquest to passionately atone for her wrongs with the help of her loving and spirited soul mate, Gabrielle. The show is an emotion gem- an all encompassing tale of retribution and faith, selflessness and endurance, unconventional heroic defiance and the neverending cost of goodness and love. MY FAVORITES INCLUDED:Remember NothingThe Fates offer Xena the opportunity to erase her past but only if she vows to never shed blood in anger again. Gabrielle? Is that you?Girls Just Wanna Have FunXena is forced to take on the Bacchae-bloodthirsty minions of the wine god, Bacchus-in order foil his plan to take over the world.Warrior...Princess...TrampLucy Lawless takes on 3 times the duty as the Warrior Princess tries to protect a look-alike friend, Princess Diana, from the machinations of yet another Xena look-alike, a trollop named Meg.Intimate StrangerThe duo's lives take a nightmarish turn when Callisto (beautiful Hudson Leick) escapes from the Underworld by infiltrating Xena's dreams and guilt.Ten Little WarlordsWhile trapped in the body of her mortal enemy, Callisto, Xena is forced to enter a competition where warlords vie to become the new god of war.A Necessary EvilIn order to stop the evil, and now immortal, Velasca from hunting down Gabrielle, Xena must unleash an even more depraved immortal to terminate her-Callisto.The PriceXena reverts to her old ways to whip a dispirited Athenian army into shape to take on a horrific foe known as the Horde but her ruthlessness absolutely sickens Gabrielle.Lost MarinerAfter a shipwreck, Gabrielle finds herself aboard the cursed vessel of the lost mariner Cecrops. Soon, she and Xena are confronted by pirates and the nasty sea god Poseidon.A Day in the LifeXena has 24 hours to prevent a warlord from plundering one village and the world's biggest giant from destroying another.Blind FaithA warrior wants to make his name by killing Xena. He fails but succeeds in putting the warrior princess in a blind (literally)rage when he kidnaps Gabrielle and sells her to agents of a king-who, it seems, needs a queen.

A unique mix of action, drama, and humor, of fantasy, history and myth, made X:WP a unique show. All these qualities are on display in Xena's Season 2, probably the show's second best next to S3. Highlights include outstanding drama such as THE RETURN OF CALLISTO, DESTINY, A NECESSARY EVIL and THE PRICE, and sparkling comedy such as the unforgettable A DAY IN THE LIFE, TEN LITTLE WARLORDS and A COMEDY OF EROS (which combines madcap comedy with genuine poignant pathos at the end). Other terrific eps: REMEMBER NOTHING, INTIMATE STRANGER, THE QUEST, BLIND FAITH, LOST MARINER. Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor really come into their own in this season. The supporting cast shines too: Hudson Leick does a superb job not only as Callisto but as Xena in the body switch episodes, INTIMATE STRANGER and TEN LITTLE WARLORDS. The late lamented Kevin Smith shows two very different sides of Ares, God of War -- the cruel arrogant god and the suddenly human mortal. Ted Raimi as Joxer raises his character above mere comic relief, giving him true nobility and poignancy. There's also Karl Urban in dual roles as Caesar and Cupid, Alexandra Tydings as Aphrodite, and a notable guest appearance by Tony Todd in LOST MARINER.I found the picture and sound quality to be excellent. There could have been more in the way of commentary and bonus footage (no outtakes here, for instance), but still this is a great buy for any Xena fan.

A must for Xena fans, these don't have any extras by the way...There are some great episodes and some not so great. The first few are where Xena becomes 'good' again and is sorely tempted by her 'past'. Of course, meeting Gabrielle helps and the two become best buds. There are some classic appearances from Michael Hurst (of Hercules fame) Kevin Sorbo (Hercules himself), Ted Raimi and the brilliant Bruce Campbell...and this is just series one!! Looking forward to the next 5!

Bought this for a friend, but love this show... An absolute gem of a spin off show that outshone Hercules & became a superior show in its own right... But what's not to love? Two hot women of questionable sexually on an epic journey that makes you laugh & cry with its masterful blend of comedy, drama, fantasy & horror with amazing fight scenes & memorable characters...

Wot a woman! Missed these 1st time & was dismissive, but it has right balance of action, humour & classic characters. Rewrites history more than Dr who, forget Buffy, this stakes my heart (or something!?)The lovely Lucy could still pull this off, but maybe only in my dreams.

I remember this when it first came on TV and I really enjoyed it and it is still enjoyable to watch although I'm much older.

The series is great and enjoying watching. However as I bought region 1 solely for the extras I have been greatly disappointed. I only has subtiltles. Amazon did not provide sufficient information on the product. So if your looking for extras only buy a product that has 7 discs this one only has 5.
