DVD Xena - The Series Finale (The Director's Cut)
High emotion and plenty of butt-kicking saturate this finale of one of the best action series of all time. Hardcore nutball Xena fans have doubtless already seen this episode and will want to revisit it, but casual viewers may want to get up to speed with the Xenaverse before watching (or else they'll miss out on a few seasons' worth of emotional resonance). In their final adventure, Xena (Lucy Lawless) and Gabrielle (Renée O'Connor) travel to the Land of the Rising Sun to clear up a bit of Xena's dark past and defeat both personal and tangible demons. Their quest, packed with action sequences, of course focuses on Xena and Gabrielle's evolving relationship. Producer and series co-creator Rob Tapert directs, giving the show some eye-popping moments and a quick homage to his Evil Dead movies. The weighty finality of the show means that it's missing some of the series' trademark sense of humor, but some fun still sneaks in around the edges. Lawless and O'Connor give excellent performances, and Joseph LoDuca's music, as it should, sends us off. Whether or not you agree with the way the series ends, you'll want to own this one. --Ali Davis
Review(s): DVD Xena - The Series Finale (The Director's Cut)
An Awsome Finale
This Director's cut of the contriversial series finale of Xena is amazingly emotional as well as action packed. Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor are at thier best as Xena and Gabrielle. A very poetic and symbolic ending to one of the greatest adventure stories ever. The Director's cut is so much better paced than the televised two part version. With audio commentary by Lucy and Renee as well as director Rob Tapert and a making of documentary make this a great addition to any Xena collection.
Very unfortunate ending to a fantastic series
I'm a loyal Xenite and have been for most of the series. I have seen all 134 episodes numerous times. This series finale doesn't work for me. All the special effects were fantastic. Both Lucy and Renee gave 110% to this 2 part episode. But the plot falls short of our expectations of how the series should have ended. Xena and Gabrielle should have walked off together like Hercules and Ioalus. The blame falls square on the shoulders of the Executive Producer and Lucy's husband, Rob Tapert. He made the decison to have Xena die. To die is one thing, but the way she dies is just sick. Seeing Xena beheaded is over the top. Seeing Gabrielle all alone was more than I could bear. It hurts to watch this episode. If you love Xena and Gabrielle like I do....watch "When Fates Collide" as your series finale. It's much easier on the heart. At the end they ride off together on the same horse.
The girl is out there...
I'll give this four stars out of respect to LL and ROC, who turned in stellar performances. However, like most Xena fans, I was very disappointed with the ending.
Not only did Xena cash in her chips in a less than spectacular fashion, the Kiss Of Life sequence was somewhat safely ambiguous. For a series that contained more Sapphic Subtext than you could shake a stick at, the "Gabby's just kissing her to transfer the waters of life" excuse was something of an anti-climax, especially after six seasons. I don't think anybody expected the thespian crush to be fully consummated, but a clearer expression of their obvious mutual attraction would have been more appropriate.
This was a powerful double episode and had it not been for Xena's demise, it would have been better received. Certainly one of the finest examples of Lawless and O'Connor's acting prowess. So much so, that it would be criminal not to re-pair the two in a well-written Return episode or movie. Lawless has indicated that she would be open to this very project, so we can but hope.
Worth having, even for the sake of completeness, and if there is a Return episiode, series or movie, the traumatic effects of Friend In Need will be greatly lessened. For now, it is the end, and an unsatisfying ending at that. Xena was the greatest female Warrior figure since Sigourney Weaver's Ripley, and with the massive cult following that the series has generated, you would think that there simply must be more. Come on Rob, put the old lady back out to work...

Just four minutes into "Sins of the Past," the first episode of Xena, you'll gladly follow the warrior princess anywhere. Taking on a gang of marauders, she leaps onto an upright spear embedded in the ground and, with a cry of "Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi," does a circular wall of death on their chests. A syndication phenomenon, this audacious 1995 series was a spin-off from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Lucy Lawless stars as Xena, dressed to kill in leather and breastplate. Her exploits are legend: "She came down out of the sky in a chariot throwing thunderbolts and breathing fire," remarks one awestruck boy in the first episode. Xena wants to bury her violent past, but there is no rest for the formerly wicked as she takes up arms (and feet) against any number of villains and...

At the end of Season Three, Gabrielle had jumped into an abyss to kill her evil child, Hope. Season Four opens with Xena undertaking a spiritual journey to recover her friend. I don't want to spoil anything major, so I'll just mention that the pair travels to India in search of Gabrielle's Way (path through life) and in the process Xena discovers her own Way. They bump into Pompey, Caesar, and Brutus repeatedly, and are instrumental in setting up the famous Ides of March incident at the Roman Forum. This sets up a big dramatic ending for the season, and there's a modern episode (about past life regression) in the final episode.
Season Four has important consequences for the Amazons, shows how Xena played a pivotal role in Roman history, dabbles in FOUR different spiritual... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Lucy Lawless DVD Release Date: Released the 15 June 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours
