Charmed got all the legends of other cultures wrong (one thing I hope the reboot will correct).
Xena and Hercules did it right. Sam Raimi and Co. must have done quite a bit of research.
I hope the reboot makes time to properly research, Charmed may be beloved but you have to admit it was horrible in how it approached cultures. Brad Kern I'm thrilled got his just deserts and read he's fired from NCIS. Finally he got what he deserved for 30 years in the business for being bad. They really did a good job. I've liked how they did it on Xena. I'm at episode 15 of Xena S4, and loving the season. It has aged well. Now I know people don't like fillers, but Xena's always were the best, and the mix of action, drama, and comedy always was great. Plus I admire Lucy and Renne way more than I do any of the Charmed stars. Lucy is such a down to earth lady, and so inspiring. Holly could learn from her.

Xena and Gabrielle had great chemistry. I can understand why some might think that they were more than just friends.

Lots of good episodes. The last season may have no been the strongest but I liked 1-5. Xena and Gabrielle had great chemistry. I can understand why some might think that they were more than just friends. Exactly! They are one of the few females who remain friends with no behind the scenes drama for 20 plus years. Too bad the Charmed cast can't be the same The chemistry was very well done.

That's good to know.
Apparently, the kids from The Sound Of Music also remained friends after the movie ended. Sadly, two of them have now passed away (Charmian Carr and Heather Menzies).

That's amazing and so nice to know. But at least they remained friends until the end.

Nice that some actors can stay friends.
Dawn Wells (Mary Ann) was close to both Bob Denver (Gilligan) and Russell Johnson (the Professor). She was heartbroken when both of those men passed away (Bob in 2005 and Russell in 2014).

They must have been close. Good to know.

You could tell in certain scenes what Xena and Gabrielle did together the way they behaved their mannerisms etc that they could've been more than friends like when they bathed one another for instance and I'm sure there were some fans who shipped them also.

No doubt a lot of fans starting shipping them after that scene.
Perhaps they were more than just friends. Who knows?

Your right guys. And the show was very great at playing it both sides, those fans who loved them together and those as friends. It left so much room so that fanfictions could do it both ways. I think Xena really was great because they never truly did a long-term shipping that was canon and out in the open. It helped keep the focus on the core themes and characters.

I agree. Just show what needs to be shown.
Let the fans fill in the blanks.

So many great virtual seasons for Xena. Some from all different fanbases. Ones who want X/G together, ones who don't and it's playing up both sides and the Xena/Ares shippers. I've enjoyed reading them years ago.

Plenty of room for all in the world of Fan Fiction.
