This is probably going to be really weird, and I apologize in advance for commenting on a post to talk about a totally different topic. A while back I was doing a blogsearch under "Xena" and stumbled on your posts disucssing "The Lost Mariner" and another one discusing your view of the Xena/Ares relationship. I found your comments really interesting, but at the time I was in the middle of a lot of stuff and didn't get a chance to make a post. So... here I am now, commenting on a totally unrelated post wanting to talk X/G and X/A with you! Any chance of you making a post about that, any time soon?
I also thought you might be interested in a couple of Xena articles I've written -- one for Whoosh! about the Xena/Ares relationship, the other for Salon.com about the show as a whole:
The God Who Loved Her (http://www.whoosh.org/issue67/young67.html) (Whoosh)
What We Owe Xena (http://www.salon.com/ent/feature/2005/09/15/xena/index.html) (Salon)
Hope you'll find these of interest.
Actually another reason I'm popping up here is that I would really like to invite you to a Xena fan forum where I'm a co-admin and moderator -- Xena Online Community (http://p209.ezboard.com/bxwpweb). It's a nice, friendly place with lots of interesting discussions of everything from "deep" topics like Xena's redemption to fun stuff like "What color are Gabrielle's eyes" as well as many good non-Xena topics in the off-topic forums. (Of course, Xena/Gabrielle and Xena/Ares always makes for great though occasionally inflammatory discussion topics.) Great place to go if you want to chat with other Xena fans, and you're just the kind of person we like to have as a poster -- smart, thoughtful, and tolerant of other people's viewpoints.
So, hope you can come by! You need EZBoard registration to join but it's free and easy.
Again, my apologies for intruding on this comment thread.
Howdy... apologies for the off-topic post ;)
