I know [regarding any fandom] there seems to be something or someone that is generally stereotyped to be well recieved by the fans. But how about we flip it and reverse it, and see just what popular...

That's a great Callisto appreciation, LucyLFan. I totally agree with everything you said. As for the elite overrated club, I also find Alti very overrated (though I don't think I'm alone in this )....

Frankly, I don't see much point to these feces-flinging threads, especially when so many of the Ep-of-the-Week review threads are languishing for lack of responses. You don't like Lost Mariner? Fine -...

I used to be very active in the EotW threads, but somewhere along mid season 2 (specifically after Destiny) I just havent been in the mood for it frankly

Well, I understand that many posters who don't have the time to participate in Ep of the Week may simply want to state their preferences in a few sentences, but I would definitely urge more people to...

Quote:Mine would be Gabrielle. I never found her to be the saint many believe her to be and quite often disliked her intensely. I second that and would also like to add Najara. I've heard some people...

I didnt like Najara either. Luckily she wasnt on very much.I liked Callisto though. She was so complex that you could hate her and feel sorry for her at the same time.Even when she was doing her worst...

I didnt feel sorry for her at all. I guess I wanted her to have a happy ending, but in general there wasnt really any sympathy for her from me.Oh boo hoo Xena you killed my family; I hate you you're...

Well, I personally thought Najara was great in Crusader. No, she was no Callisto, no one was -- but she was an adversary to Xena who wasn't clearly "in the wrong" and made a pretty good case for...

Although I like the character, I also thought that Ephiny was a bit overrated. And the Amazons in general were not that exciting to me (again, not necessarily a dislike, but I didn't like them as much...

I didnt dislike Gabs all of the time. I loved her in season 1&2. The things that happened in season 3, with Dahak and Hope and Solan are what started my dislike. The Bitter Suite is when it hit...

Gabrielle is also an overrated character to me. She wasn't all that innocent as she was cut out to be and people give her too much credit. I guess she had her moments that made me go "YES!" such as in...

To all those who criticize Gabrielle going on the path of peace:I am one of the biggest Gabrielle fans in the fandom, and even I wasn't terribly crazy about that. However, it was a necessary way for...

GK, I agree that Gabrielle's "pacifist arc" was a necessary part of her character growth, though personally I do think it could have been handled better by the writers.For every complex question there...
