Oh, no, I'm going to have to agree with Neil here - (is it worth breaking a principle established over years to say that I liked it too? :-) ) And it's nothing to do with the fact that it hides how thin she is. She actually looked like she could fight in it and it was less of a fashion disaster than most of her outfits, not that that's saying much....and not that I'm saying I'd wear a red boiler suit either :-) Louise

For me, it's always been the botanical problem on Xena! I can buy the forested setting; in ancient times, before the occupants completely stripped the landscape, Greece sported some pretty respectible woodlands. But every time I see one of those damned Cyathia tree ferns in the background, it jars me clean out of suspension of disbelief. Every last species of tree fern grows either in the tropics or the Southern Hemisphere. Leah

Lucy Lawless is formerly an opera singer. As a New Zealander, I doubt she has an American accent. To dull American ears, however, New Zealanders and Canadians tend to sound a lot 'like us' as opposed to the delicious exoticness of Australian and most British dialects. > And definitely no > chickadees singing in the background. > Well, you would know better than I would what songbirds you find in Greece.

Re: What makes a fannish show? (was Re: [B7L] fannishness)

Has anyone else seen a little Danish show called 'The Kingdom'? It was on our local multicultural channel - a grotesque sort of horror-medical-soapie-with-ghosts that was strangely addictive and apparently huge in its home country. They had to stop making it because the actor playing the (very unpleasant) lead actor died. I've never quite understood my own enjoyment of that one, having no taste for horror, soapies or hospital dramas. It wasn't the characters either - they were all grotesques (and dubbed ones at that :-)) but there it was, and I did like it. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Neil said > though I find the whole idea of Xena ideologically repellent Please explain? Perhaps you're taking the 'warrior princess' as a literal description? (someone who has watched more correct me if I'm wrong) Xena is the daughter of a feamle inn-keeper. After war sweepingt hrough the land became too much of a problem, she took up arms and began to put together a band to fight back. As she became more succesful, she fought for merchenary reasons, rather than to protect. After defeat at the hands of an idealist, she was remided of why she'd become a warrior in the first place-- the non-warriors need protection. So, to make amends for being greedy, she wanders around helping anyone who needs her assistance and donates any fees for her work to the peasents. "From each according to their ability; to each according to their need." Where's the ideological repulsion, Neil?

Can we interest you in the two-inch model available via Judith's site (and that's his full height, we're not on the other list)? In another thread, Anna wrote: >Another show I'd watch sometimes was Hercules: The >Legendary Journeys, but more to see Iolaus (Michael Hurst) *Another* person of exquisite taste and sensibility! One of the weirdest dreams I've had recently had me pairing off with Kevin Sorbo, who I don't fancy at all, purely because I was so moved by the lovely way he talked about Michael Hurst. Harriere
