Sure looks like a gen-u-ine Amazon double thump/extended arm salute to me. Maybe a secret 'nod' to the Xenite community!!

The guy narrating it referred to the >statuesque and "muscular" Serena as like Xena "the warrior queen." Heh. Actually, the player on the current tour who most closely resembles Xena is Amelie Mauresmo, who will be playing Venus Williams in the semifinals tomorrow. The girl is large. I got to see her play a couple weeks ago in the Pilot Pen tournament here in New Haven -- it was all I could do to keep from shouting "to a strong Amazon Nation!" when she left the court. :} (Sadly, she lost to Lindsay Davenport that day, and I was one of only a handful of people in the crowd rooting for her.) >> LOL! Yep, Amelie could well be a model for Xena. Actually, all four women in the semi-finals could pass for Amazons, as they range from about 5'8" (Serena) to 6'2" (Lindsay). Should be a doozy. - -- Ife ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

I think she was communicating that she had the heart to win it, as it was a very tough match, and Jennifer could've been victorious on several occasions. Hey! Maybe Amelie's the real Cyane who came from the future and taught the Amazons that salute! - -- Ife ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

Sammy Sosa does something similar after each home run. It is supposed to be a message to his mom who is dead that she is in his heart. The double fist to the chest and then pointing in the air was done frequently after pitcher Darryl Kile died by St. Louis Cardinal players. So while it may be an Amazon salute, it more likely part of a growing (or I'm just now aware of it) tradition in some of sports and cultures.

I didnt want to be the first one to point that out. Happens alot in basketball and hockey but I dont think many people besides me here watch men's basketball or hockey. And of course arnold did it in the movie conan. And yes. The new breed of female stars (not counting fluff anna kourinikova) are buff and tuff and have attittude. The squeeky clean, small female tennis player days are over. ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

Hey...since this is from a kinda old-ish (by now) movie, it's probably been mentioned before, but anyway: on a flight home from California this week the in-flight movie was "About A Boy" (which I quite enjoyed!), and it had a Xena reference! There was a scene where Hugh Grant and the kid are watching TV together, and the kid says something in voiceover like "I was trying to talk to him about it, but I could tell he just wanted to watch 'Xena: Warrior Princess'," and when they showed the TV screen it was a quick snippet from a Season 5 ep - I could tell cuz Lucy was in pregnancy leathers and Renee in the brown leather outfit. :) Just thought that was cool! Plus, on my flight out there, the movie was "Spiderman," complete with Bruce, Ted, and Lucy cameos! Whee. -Sarah, aka the abbagirl- P.S. Now the latest season of "Witchblade" is over, and I am again going through action-chick show withdrawal, ack!! Only 2 more weeks till the season premiere of Buffy...and what may be Buffy's last season! I'm looking forward to the 2nd season of "Alias" as well. I'm almost all caught up on that show now, thanks to reruns on ABC and the Family Channel. ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

Hernandez lists several shows for which DVD sets are either already out or coming-- MASH, The Osbournes, The Simpsons, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sex and the City, The Sopranos, 24, Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Outer Limits, Farscape, Stargate SG-1, Dark Shadows, X-Files, Malcolm in the Middle, Friends, The West Wing, South Park, Smallville, the "short-lived" series Get a Life, Baretta (due to the Robert Blake murder case), Law & Order, Battlestar Galactica (sic!), Sliders, Quantum Leap, Dragnet, Emergency (sic!), Magnum P.I., Rockford Files, The Bachelor, Babylon 5 and Dune. To which they could have added several British series like The Avengers, Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, Miss Marple, Fawlty Towers, the Sharpe's films, Rumpole (yay!), Monty Python, Hornblower, Prime Suspect, Six Wives of Henry VIII, I Claudius, Dr Who and Upstairs Downstairs. Also -- I Spy and Twilight Zone. Hernandez quotes -- "Now the whole barn door is open and everybody is putting everything out," said Scott Hettrick, editor of Video Business, an industry trade publication. Anyone care to guess at a once popluar show missing from these lists? Go ahead, take a wild guess.
