The fact that she's a reformed villainess explains much of Xena's appeal, the moral thrust of her crusades against Evil having all the more potency because of it. The fact that she habitually wears a leather basque and has more sex appeal than an army of Spice Girls can't hurt either. As for the much-discussed lesbian undertones of the Xena/Gabrielle relationship, having publicly invited fans and viewers to "bring their own subtext", it's good to see the producers have far from neglected their duty to provide an ever-increasing supply of it in recent episodes. TOP FEISTY EPISODE A Day In the Life, managing to see off a warlord and the world's biggest giant in the course of a single day. TOP FEISTY LINE (1) (From A Day In the Life), "I like to be creative in a fight; it gets my juices going." TOP FEISTY LINE (2) (From The Furies), "I love the smell of warrior sweat in the morning." TOP FEISTY LINE (3) (To Gabrielle, in Fins, Femmes, and Gems), "The only reason I do any good at all in this world is because I do it with you." DISCLAIMER: No fundamental Hindu beliefs were harmed during the making of this feature.
