People always talk about Buffy, but not Xena. Explain that failed logic. Xena came first, and Xena herself is a million times a cooler heroine than Buffy, and far more important for the progression of female heroines (being sooner than Buffy and all). Also, Xena beats Buffy because she's a flawed hero. That's one of the things that always bothered me the most about Buffy - she's always right just because she's the hero. Xena made mistakes and was wrong at times. That made her so much more interesting, and the series as a whole so much stronger than Buffy. (this is not to diss any Buffy fans, but I will never understand the Whedon 'fanboys' when I think Tapert should have a much stronger fan base). And, yeah, how odd that it says sci-fi but then mixes and matches genes. :S - - Xena Torres www.bitch-of-rome.com TO A STRONG AMAZON NATION! - -----Original Message----- From: owner-chakram-refugees@smoe.org [mailto:owner-chakram-refugees@smoe.org] On Behalf Of KLOSSNER9@aol.com Sent: July-31-13 6:17 PM To: chakram-refugees@smoe.org Subject: [chakram-refugees] TV Guide list of fantasy/SF TV TV Guide (it still exists) had an article in the July 15-28, 2013, double issue "Fantastic Voyages: the 60 Greatest Sci-Fi Shows of All Time." It is by Matt Roush, their top critic, who is usually pretty good. Despite the sub-title the list includes fantasy and horror shows as well as SF. The first ten are in Roush's order of preference. The next 50 are in alphabetical order. 1. Star Trek/Star Trek: Next Generation 2. Twilight Zone (1st series) 3. Battlestar Galactica (2nd series) 4. X Files 5. Lost 6. Doctor Who 7. Buffy the Vampire Slayer 8. Walking Dead 9. The Prisoner 10.

They've both certainly been forgotten by most people and I think Hercules was often underrated, including by some Xena fans.
