DVD Reviews of Xena Warrior Princess - Season Five

DVD Review: XENA Season Five & Six
Summary: 4 Stars

Over all I've always liked the Xena series, and ever since I bought the anniversary edition that had all the top episodes I knew I needed to finish my collection.

DVD Review: Unpredictable Season: But Still Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars

I know this season of Xena Warrior Princess took a lot of criticism. The leads coming back from the dead, one of them 'magically' pregnant, and of course the 'Twilight of the Gods' storyline was received with mixed reactions. My review is for the people who enjoyed the season when it aired, and are considering purchasing the dvd box set. This product:

*Contains all the episodes aired for season five.
*Several episodes have audio/video commentary, while several more includes interviews from cast and crew.
*Some of the 'important episodes' do not have commentary or interview included with them. (Personally, I didn't mind that much)
*There are bonus features, nothing too extravagant.
*Overall, this product was excellent and worth the money I spent.

DVD Review: "There's A War Going On Between Good And Evil" ~ Xena Died For Our Sins
Summary: 5 Stars

Xena never ceases to amaze me. After four previous seasons you would think you've just about seen all the possible marvelous deeds of the beautiful and deadly Warrior Princess wouldn't you? Well not so, imagine Xena as an Archangel fighting beside the highly esteemed Michael, or maybe an Arch Demon battling the forces of good for ownership of heaven. It could never happen you say? You'd be wrong, in `Fallen Angel' the first episode of season five she does both after being crucified on a cross. What does that dying on a cross part remind you of? I shouldn't say it but I simply cannot resist, Xena died for our sins.

And that's just to wet the appetite in a season that sees the redemption of Callisto, the birth of Xena's baby girl, a twenty-five year hibernation period for the Warrior Princess and side-kick Gabrielle catapulting them into the future, the death of Joxer, hearing Ares say "I love you" and the demise of the Olympian God's. If that's not enough to make you buy this 9 disc set what is it going to take?

DVD Review: Not my favorite Season of Xena
Summary: 4 Stars

I watched Xena when I was going up. Stopped watching after the 4th season. I decided to watch the series again after it on to DVD. How nice not having to wait though commercials. Or waiting till next week to find out what happens. Season 1-3 was great! Season 4 was pretty good. Season 5 was alright. I really did enjoy the stories to the season. But Xena pregnant was so hard to grasp. Where in the other seasons she had left her son with the centaurs, so she could still be Xena. I know Lucy Lawless was pregnant while filming this Season. Why couldn't the Directors work around it? I agree with what someone said earlier. Why was Eve any different then Hope? I know Xena knew where the baby had come from. But who to say Eve wasn't another Hope. But I did enjoy the Season. But I just couldn't understand why Xena had to be Pregnant. I love the Series and if you love Xena then Buy this. Because i enjoyed every moment of it. Even though it wasn't one of my favs.

DVD Review: They don't make shows like this anymore
Summary: 5 Stars

(One person said this was the worst season ever I disagree with episodes like Lyre, Lyre, Hearts on Fire (Musical), Antony and Cleopatra, and brining a new character into the mix Eve (Xena's daughter) was fulfilling. Yes I admit some of the episodes I didn't love Married with Fishsticks was one of them, but none the less what did you expect? They did almost everything imaginable in season 1-4 yet they still brought fresh ideas like (Animal Attraction) where the characters take a spin on The Wild Wild West, (Chakram) exploring what Xena would be like without her eagerness to fight and do good, or Xena battling and killing most of the Greek Gods. Bottom line great season)

This series had everything in it: Comedy, drama, inspiration, musicals, etc... I also believe this was a series that helped create certain television shows and movies. Watch (Here She Comes... Miss Amphipolis 1997) and tell me that's not similar to (Miss. Congeniality 2000). Remember that Xena was being played in a different time period (Historical Times) and Miss. Congeniality is being played in the present, yet they are still similar. The show not only had a few good laughs with the help of Joxer (Ted Rami)but also allows viewer the feeling of Catharsis. Seeing Xena battle her past demons and realizing she wouldn't be the hero she is without her past is PRICELESS. Also watching the growth of Xena (Lucy Lawless) and Gabrielle's (Renee O Conner) friendship is something very special. They become family and travel to the exotic lands of Asia and to the beautiful landscape of Egypt etc...

The DVDS are worth it I own all 6 seasons and the commentaries are GREAT. I especially love watching Hudson Leick's (Callisto)commentary she's intelligent, funny, and beautiful.

P.S. My one note would be buy the director's cut of The Final Episode (A Friend In Need) because it's much better. Plus you get great extras including commentary by Lucy, Renee, and Rob and you also get behind the scene footage including a little B-Day cake for Lucy. The commentary is great I just finished watching it again for my 100th time because I find Lucy and Renee hysterical.

I will always have faith that a Xena Movie will be made, although Gabrielle lost faith in her Hope; I will always have faith that Xena will eventually become a movie; plus I'm only 19 so I still have plenty of years left to wait lol.

Well Thank you Lucy, Renee, Rob, Hudson, Ted, Bruce, Kevin and all the other people that made Xena possible. You filled many homes with joy, laughter, and inspiration; it truly is one of televisions greatest moments!
