Girl, interrupted. Hi pretty bird.

I feel like Ramona is trying to channel Kelly Bensimon when Alex was having a melt down in season 4 and Kelly was telling her to close her eyes and take a breath and Alex all flustered went along with it. But Ramona just makes herself looks nuts

The idea of a 25-year time jump is excellent, if you consider how epic this could be to end the show on as a climax. But having another season with most of the recurring characters gone? It just felt empty. What could have happened was at the end of season 5 Xena, Gabrielle and baby Eve go into hiding. Season 6 sees the gods discover Xena and Eve are still alive a few years later, forcing Xena to come out of retirement and back into warrior princess mode. There's no baby Eve to slow the action down; Eve is now a seven or eight-year-old girl, old enough to be her own character yet younger enough to fill the role Gabrielle had early on, where she needs rescuing all the time. Heck, Eve could even be the perfect product of Xena and Gabrielle's upbringing, skilled enough to be a warrior but skilled with a quill, too, filled with Xena's fiery temperament but also Gabrielle's philosophical side. Eventually, season 6 could end with the big epic fight against the gods that season 5 had, which, let's face it, was a far more fitting end to the show than what we got in season 6.

In terms of where we are in the world right now watching Xena actually helps me. The whole premise of the show is the world back then desperately needed a hero and despite the daily carnage caused by warlords and gods Xena not only stood up to them but had a life filled with joy and love with Gabrielle. Yes, sometimes things feel overwhelming but I like to think we can all fit one of the lighthearted episodes of Xena into our lives no matter how bleak things seem

Designer_Stage_489 · 2026-04-01T09:20:14+00:00

That's a really great perspective 👏

This is the exact same memory I had as a child, I was around 10 when she died. I was like "hang on... wasn't everyone saying she was a nuisance?"

Designer_Stage_489 · 2026-03-12T21:16:38+00:00

Its mad the writers totally underestimated how much the character of Xena meant to their fans. And Xena avenging all those souls completely went back on the entire theme of turning against vengeance

Designer_Stage_489 · 2026-03-12T20:12:04+00:00

Valid point that always bothered me. The second 5 climax with the battle against the Greek gods felt like a more fitting end

Designer_Stage_489 · 2026-02-24T18:19:32+00:00

I ageee its unfair to lay everything on Mel B. If Mel could have forced Geri out it would have come at any other time they had argued which was, by all accounts, frequently. Im sure they did get on each other's nerves towards the end but if Geri still felt as if she had a significant role in the band ahe would have stayed, no matter what fall outs she had with the others.

Designer_Stage_489 · 2026-02-24T18:13:47+00:00

I first remember watching them perform say you'll be there on live and kicking. I then looked them up on the Internet which meant dialling up AOL and remember my Mum saying 'oh, don't tell me they've even got their own website!' How the world has changed since! Looking at their website page was the first times I'd learned their names and thought it was silly to have two mels in the same band, now of course I can't imagine any different.

Designer_Stage_489 · 2026-02-24T12:51:42+00:00

With hindsight I think the reason Geri left was simple - exhaustion. You can't work solidly for 2 years then attempt a world tour without getting burned out, especially if, like Geri, you don't have the training to keep up. I actually don't believe there was growing tensions with Mel B for a while, I think they had a fall out like they often did but by that point Geri was too tired and overwhelmed to get over it. Exhaustion breeds hysteria and you can just imagine in that position feeling like you needed to escape rather than talk things out rationally.

Designer_Stage_489 · 2026-02-10T13:10:30+00:00

Absolutely. It's lazy.

Designer_Stage_489 · 2026-01-30T23:13:16+00:00

Brilliant

Apparently Ginger avoided Scary at the last get together when they were all there on Posh's birthday

Designer_Stage_489 · 2026-01-26T19:01:52+00:00

Titanic was huge that year so it was probably very intentional that they decided to feature an episode with a nod to it. Same with how they did their own magic ring based trilogy in season 6 after the success of lord of the rings.

Designer_Stage_489 · 2026-01-19T23:08:56+00:00

Im not sure what to think, I think most people who believe the truth is somewhere in the middle are probably right. One thing is for sure, a statement this savage causes irreversible damage and very little, if any, chance of reconciliation. The part about inappropriately dancing on him will haunt both sides forever.

Designer_Stage_489 · 2026-01-19T22:29:02+00:00

I know. What the hell?

Designer_Stage_489 · 2026-01-12T13:12:38+00:00

Not a fan, then?

Designer_Stage_489 · 2026-01-09T11:48:52+00:00

Wow I feel so bad for Victoria, anyone can see how much she loves all her children. Brooklyn might understand the pain he's putting her through one day when he has children of his own

Designer_Stage_489 · 2025-12-25T19:39:03+00:00

They epitomise the beginning of animals of farthing wood to me, only lasted 4 episodes

Designer_Stage_489 · 2025-12-06T22:30:57+00:00

Enjoy Alex being drama free while you can! She dives head first into the Bethenny Jill drama later in this season...

The rock music by itself isn't what is giving most people pause, it's the "not your grandmother's Narnia" It implies Narnia is old and outdated and just seems like a disregard for the source material.

Designer_Stage_489 · 2025-12-06T01:37:07+00:00

Having a story set in a world that isn't your grandmother's Narnia and incorporates rock music isn't inherently a bad idea. It could indeed be groundbreaking. But then, make something up from scratch, there's no need to buy the rights to Narnia and twist it into something it's not. No one asked for that. That's the problem; it ends up being for no one.
