I hear that the last episode released was "Hooves and Harlots." So you will never be able to aquire a full set from them. The official complete season episodes of One and Two are available from Davis Panzer Productions. All six seasons are expected to be produced. Order only thru the web, catalog or phone order, as of now. There may be a few extra features but not much. I suppose they ship to Canada. Season One: http://www.adarastore.com/cgi-bin/xena-herc/X1311?ioXKHjxg;;69 Season Two: http://www.adarastore.com/cgi-bin/xena-herc/X1312?ioXKHjxg;;81 Hope this helps- Hawk >So I've heard for ages that the Xena DVDs are out, and yet, if I go looking >anywhere in Canada for them, they are no where to be seen.

I don't know if that has changed. Panzar Davis has the complete Season 1 on DVD for $99 and will be releasing Season 2. As for quality of the DVDs, season 1 is an iffy season at best. Xena was filmed on 16 millimeter film then so it will be grainy and it shows up grainy on DVD (and VHS tape) if you have a 32 inch TV (isn't a problem on a 19 inch). Canadians do have region 1 players - right so I believe your best bet is Panzar Davis.

Lillie wrote: "Actually, the most touching scene in the episode for me was when Gabrielle was trying to convince Sarah that she was her aunt, and wasn't there to chop her head off...the heart-rendering scene when she put her arms around Sarah and Sarah tried to push her and the love away. I've seen things like this. Where we try to believe we don't, under any circumstance deserve love. " Yes that is a terrific scene. Michael Hurst did a wonderful job of directing and Tandi Wright is very good. Not only does Sarah's almost frantic struggle with Gabrielle ring true, then when she breaks down and tells her tale, she can't bring herself to meet her aunt's eyes. Her shame is palatable. Also look at Xena's reaction, she also is touched by Sarah's plight. It is a sad fact that people who are subject to abuse, especially sexual abuse, are often afflicted by great shame over something they had no control over. Sarah has been in the harem for 8 years so she has been there since she was probably 11 or 12 so she was abused as a child, saw her family murdered, and had to placate a sadist for most of her life no wonder she was a bit testy.
