Any Xena:WP fans on the boards?

Here's one bloggers attempt to celebrate Lucy's Birthday with clips from her past.

I think I could have picked a better "bad ass" Xena clip. :rolleyes:

I love it when she stands up at the end.

(Vote early... vote often. ;) )

ETA:


A word of caution.

On my laptop, the link brings you directly to the page voting Xena vs Hannibal, and the voting slots info line up perfectly beneath each photo. :bolian:

I just checked my tablet and the link brings you to a list of all 5 rounds of matchups that preceeded this one. At the very bottom is Xena vs Hanni and once you click on her pic you are brought to the voting page, HOWEVER, the descriptions of Xena's character are under Hannibal's photo, and the descriptions of Hannibal are on the next level down but under Xena's photo. :brickwall:

The voting buttons are under each description, but do they go with the description or with the photo above the description? :shrug:

This could be the biggest voting controversy since 2002 & the hanging chad in Florida ! :scream:

Consider using your desktop or laptop if such a mixup appears with your mobile device, if you want to make sure you get who you think you are voting for. :vulcan:

How about this controversy? It is already talked about in the voting comments..

Two links to the final voting page, two very different results. Of course Xena is winning in the both pages, so who cares :D

http://www.hitfix.com/march_mayhem/2016/220-xena-vs-hannibal-lecter
Xena (50.7%)
Lecter (49.3%)

http://www.hitfix.com/march_mayhem/2016/220-hannibal-lecter-vs-xena
Xena (87.68%)
Lecter (12.32%)
 
Thanks for the new links. Last night when I posted this, she was behind Hannibal 49.82 to 50.12

Seeing her up as much as you showed this am, made me relax a little.

The explanations in the poster comments why the numbers change depending which link is used doesn't sound kosher, but I don't understand half the explanations "computer types" give me for various issues.

After my refresh tonight, she is up 57.75 vs 42.25 and STRANGELY enough, both of your links are finally registering the same tally.

If like me, you can't make the Lucy Lawless video's audio work on the ballot either, here it is straight from youtube. Its actually from an interview from LAST year's (2015) March Madness vote. They are talking about the previous (2014) year's contest and why fans should keep voting for Xena.

I love the "Bitter Suite" and those duets, along with Callisto and Ares involvement.... and the commentary that accompanied some of the DVDs is also pretty good.

TheY say the reason Xena mounted a different horse than Argo for the "Gab Drag" was because TPTB didn't think ARGO would allow Xena to do "that" to Gabrielle.

So does that means they treated Argo as a character with personality rather than just transportation? It seems like a lot of these kinds of shows, even if they have a regular horse with a name rarely treat them as more than transportation. That was actually one of things I was disappointed with in Once Upon A Time, I was hoping when they introduced Merida they would do some stuff with her horse Angus, but we only saw her ride him two or three times, and they never even called him by name.
 
^ Yes. Argo was very much treated like an actual character. Xena would often have chats with her and Argo always seemed to understand, and give advice, in her own way.

Those two were very sympatico.

Throughout the show, you definitely get a sense of Argo's personality: Loyal, caring, jealous, playful, smart...
 
In fact it was to protect Argo that the reviving Xena finally threw off her sleeping disease in season 1's "The Greater Good" and frequently in the early seasons it seemed that Argo was Xena's true partner, not Gabrielle.

From the teaser... Gabrielle is pretending to fight Argo with her staff, she's standing behind the horse as she grazes.


Gabrielle:Hah! Hmm? Wanna try it again? OK. Hah!”

Xena: [Whistles across the field and Argo responds by kicking back and knocking the staff from Gabrielle's grasp. It flies towards Xena who easily catches it.]

Gabrielle: “Uh-oh. I hate it when you do that. I have to practice.”

Xena: “Not on my horse. I wish the two of you would just get
along.”

Gabrielle: “It’s not like we’re at constant war or anything. Argo
doesn’t like me.”

Xena: [she leans in towards Argo's head.] “Sometimes you have to have patience with things that annoy you.”

Gabrielle: “Oh, I never said she annoyed me.”

Xena: “I wasn’t talking to you.”

Gabrielle: “Oh, funny-- very, very funny.”

The Greater Good ep had many themes, but one was the "relationship" between Gabrielle and Argo.

Xena: “Come here. Now, Gabrielle, listen carefully. Now, I know you’ve been in battles before, but this one is different. I want you riding in and out of there quickly.”

Gabrielle: “Riding? That would mean Argo. No-- she doesn’t like me.”

Xena: “She doesn’t hate you. I thought you had a pony when you were young.”

Gabrielle: “I did. His name was Tympani.”

Although it was usually Xena and Argo against Gabrielle, in this ep not only did Gabrielle frequently ride Argo w/o Xena, there was supposed to be a scene (deleted) where Argo comforted Gabrielle after the teenager expends her rage wailing on a defenseless tree with her staff...

SPOILERS

... after Xena "apparently" dies. The deleted scene can be seen starting at 7:37.

Another great Argo ep is when Callisto tries to kill her. (Silly girl)
 
Cool. I'm an animal person so I always like it when they give real attention to animal characters. I was just looking through the Argo page on the Xena & Hercules wiki, and it listed the Greater Good and 3 other episodes that focused on Argo. It's cool that they actually gave her that much attention.
