I love Xena: Warrior Princess, so naturally i have all the six seasons on DVD. First I will point out that there are 11 episodes on three DVDs. Here's a little information on each episode.

For those who don't know Xena here's a little information. Xena used to be a evil warlord killing people for power and fun, she starts questioning herself if this is what she really wants to keep on doing. She rescues a baby from a burnt out town that her men did without her permission. She goes through the warrior gauntlet and survives and turns good after she has a run in with Hercules. Along the way she saves a group of women from being taken slaves, this is where she meets Gabrielle. After saving them she heads out of town looking to do some good and Gabrielle follows her, they strike up a friendship over time and become best friends. Roaming Greece to save the innocents from warlords and such.

Here's the who's who of Xena season 6,

Xena - Ex-walord turned good, Gabrielle is her best friend. Her home village is Amphipolis

Gabrielle - A bard and warrior and amazon Queen, Xena's best friend. Her village is Poteidaia.

Eve - Xena's daughter but was raised a Roman warrior ( Livia ) after Gabrielle and Xena was frozen for 25 years.

Joxer - A friend of Xena and Gabrielle, and a wannabe warrior. He is in love with Gabrielle.

Virgil - Joxer's son, he is a poet and warrior. There's a attraction between hom and Gabrielle.

Varia - The amazon Queen and a friend of Xena & Gabrielle.


Aphrodite - The Goddess of love and friend of Xena and Gabrielle.

Ares - The God of war, and always trying to get Xena back as a warlord.

Now the episodes,

The God You Know - Xena goes to Rome to help Aphrodite and to kill the Roman emperor, Caligula before he can do any more damage.

You Are There - A modern-day tabloid TV reporter follows Xena and Gabrielle in the Norse lands. Trying to get information on them, he interviews people from her past.

Path Of Vengeance - Eve is put on trail for her past deeds, when she returns to Amazon land. Xena & Gabrielle try to save her from execution.

To Helicon And Back - Gabrielle leads the Amazons on a rescue mission to save Varia from a vengeful half-god, trying to wipe out all of the amazons.

Send In The Clones - Three fans of Xena reproduce them, into to 21st century, asking for help in fighting the bad people in the world. But they face their greatest enemy Alti, who created them.

The Last of the Centaurs - Nika whose married Centaur Xenon (Ephiny's son) is having his baby, is being hunted by her father Lord Belach. Who is intent on killing the Centaur and bring his daughter back home. Xena & Gabrielle try to convince Belach that peace is the best solution.

When Fates Collide - Caesar changes the Threads of Fate in order to change his destiny, after escaping form Hades. In his world he has Xena as his Empress, Gabrielle is a talented playwright and Alti as High Priestess of Rome. Gabrielle sets fire to the Loom of Life, to try set the world right once again.

Many Happy Returns - It's Gabrielle's birthday and while travel-ling to return the Helmet of Hermes, Xena and Gabrielle save a young virgin from being sacrificed by a group of religious zealots.

Soul Possession - A ancient scroll of Xena's life is found in the present, telling them what really happened before and after Gabrielle fall in the lava pit with hope.

Friend In Need 1& 2 - Xena and Gabrielle travel to Japan to save the city of Higuchi from Yodoshi. Xena must be dead to fight Yodoshi, she allows a samurai and his warriors to kill her. Gabrielle learns that she can bring Xena back to life by burning her body and putting the ashes in a magic spring before sunset on the second day.

There's only two things I didn't like about this is, the ending of Xena ( I won't go into detail how she got killed ) but I suppose in her mind ( and the Producers ) she had to die and stay dead to have her redeem herself for all the wrong she did. Here's hoping for a Movie to right the wrong so to say. Secondly there's no extras, which i was disappointed about because I love all the behind the scenes stuff, like interviews, bloopers and deleted scenes.

My favorite episodes are To Helicon and Back, When Fates Collide, Many Happy Returns and Soul Possession. I could go on forever describing the episodes but it would take pages to do it. My over all experience for Xena Season 6 box set 2 is perfect, Effects, colors, action, suspense, very fun, loving and gripping episodes. Great cast and chemistry between Lucy and Renee. Picture and sound quality is excellent. So sit back and enjoy this fantasy, drama and comedy tv series. This is what best friends is about. YOU won't be sorry you brought this.
