One of the posts includes the address of the Tarantino short video on YouTube. I expect most people on this list have seen it, but I hadn't. Of course it's nice to have a Hollywood bigshot put in a good word for Xena, but for me praise from Tarantino is like a kiss from someone with bad breath. Tarantino seems to want to make sado-porn respectable and mainstream. Predictably what he sees and likes in Xena is the "Xena is so evil" stuff. He says Xena is irredeemable and can never escape damnation. Actually, after she and Gabrielle were crucified they went to Heaven. Xena then went to Hell of course, but that was because, as I recall, she broke a bunch of rules to save Gabrielle (which she was always doing). She didn't go to Hell because of her old crimes. So she was redeemed. Then at the end of the series, she was (I think) redeemed again by her final sacrifice and death.
