Comments

Whereas the series Hercules could seem rather alleviating, its spin-off Xena shows a better balance between imagination, humor and adventures. The series has a certain fame in the gay culture because the relations between Xena and Gabrielle are voluntarily ambiguous. Many insinuations or winks on the possible homosexual relation which links the two women were voluntarily gummed French version.

The character of Xena had a strong repercussion in the imaginary collective. In the televised series The Street , one of the heroes is allured by a woman because it makes a number of striptease disguised in Xena and that its housing is decorated in reference to this series.

The scenario of the episode " Solstice of hiver" point out vaguely the tale of Charles Dickens a Christmas carol .
