Dang, there must be hundreds of them in movies, television shows, and books. And at one time, there was probably close to as many threads here mentioning the mentions.
The threads have all been archived though, and it's been a very long time since I've heard a Xena mention and I don't remember being mentioned previously.
Caught one yesterday on a rerun of a television sit-com that served as background noise while I was folding laundry, (how un-Warrior Princess-like can you get). The show was "What I Like About You", which I have never watched prior to this, but I think had its run after Xena ended.
Woman in a bar bemoaning breaking up with her girlfriend: "Last night Donna's favorite show was on and I burst into tears. God, how she loved her Xena."

I heard a Xena reference recently...but I don't remember which show I was watching. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a rerun and the show aired in February. 7th Heaven had a Xena reference where all the kids all got in a back yard fight with neighbor hood kids. Now that I know the thread is here, I'll pay more attention.

What a coincidence this thread was brought back up; I heard a Xena reference on a webcast just last week as I got lost in the wasteland of YouTube and couldn't find my way back out.
A guy bemoaning the fact he couldn't get a date on Valentine's Day, gives a possible reason when he runs through his list of pick-up lines. One of them was:
"Are you Xena, Warrior Princess? 'Cuz you just kicked the f**k outta my heart."

Gee. With lines like that, I just don't see how he would end up on his own.

HA! Unfortunately for the poor guy, (and the women he tried to pick up), that was one of his better lines.

There was a brief Xena-mention during a book-signing that BP and I attended this past weekend. The books were two in the "Haunted America" series and covered some of the legends and myths in this area of Michigan. One of the friends of the three authors, who is also into the paranormal, was in attendance. They've gone on many ghost-hunting missions together, and relayed some of their most frightening experiences to us. One of the authors jokingly made the comment that what was really scary was Tom's "Xena yell". Since he was sitting next to me, I prodded him to do it, but he declined, saying it was loud enough to wake the dead.... ...and since I, personally, would rather not experience the paranormal, it's probably a good thing. Although he probably won't do it in the program either, he makes an appearance on A&E's upcoming two-part special, "Extreme Paranormal". www.aetv.com/extreme-paranormal/ |

In a Bones episode called "The Finger in the Nest," Booth said to Bones and Angela "Here we go again. Okay, you two don’t get all, you know, Xena, Princess Warrior on me, okay?"

Charmed, Oh My Goddess, Part 2:
Phoebe: You know, I miss Jason, I really do... but I can't put my life on hold for him. You know, if he comes back to San Francisco then we'll give it another shot. How about you? You miss being a warrior princess?
Paige: No, I do not miss being a warrior princess. In fact I don't think I'm even gonna miss being super witch.

Just heard on an episode of NCIS:
"You're xenophobic!"
"I am not xenophobic! That's one of my favorite shows! Leather skirts, lesbian sword fighting, female empowerment. Maybe I am a little Ziva-phobic."

I returned some books to the library this evening. BP was busy, but asked me to pick out a few books for her while I was there. Eyeing the titles, I spotted one that she might've been interested in, "The Sherlock Files: The 100 Year Old Secret". I started skimming the first couple of pages, and found one of the main characters' name was "Xena"; her brother was "Xander".
Damn...I skimmed the entire book (a mystery written for 9-10 year olds; it was only about 120 pages) just to find out how a preteen sleuth got the name Xena, sure I'd find some mention of the Warrior Princess in there....such as her was Mom laughing so hard while watching "In Sickness and in Hell" that she went into labor, or some similar type thing. Pfft! Not a single mention.
I didn't check out the book.

Was checking up on Roger Ebert's latest movie reviews, and came upon this: "Natalie Portman is the Xena clone, a fierce warrior, laid on for anime fans who seem to regard such characters as masturbatory fantasies. She too has no personality, although she has more dialogue, all of it expressing cliches of steely determination." rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110406/REVIEWS/110409994BTW, the "no personality" remark, is, I believe, in reference to the other female character in that movie. |

Wow, I love that quote Nutbread. It makes me feel like taking a look at NCIS (which I have avoided simply because it has too many letters in the name, making it look like a CSI wanna be gone overboard.)

Watch this ep of Raising Hope and see what's on the wall in the attic. (Sorry, only those in the US will be able to view it.) Video will only be available for a little while.

There was a Xena poster on the wall. It was hard to make out in the dark.

I was about to sign off this evening and ran into a Xena reference in the NCIS show "Doppleganger". While looking up the show title I found this quoted by another web site talking about that ep.
Gibbs: Blood splatter analysis?
Abby: Okay, Gibbs. I know you think I’m Super girl. Actually, my hair’s probably Wonder Woman or Isis or the Power puff girl.
Kate: I’ve always been partial to Xena.
Abby: I don’t know about her. No self-respecting superhero should wear open-toed shoes.

 Were Xena's boots open-toed?

We didn't get treated to toesies very often. Mostly when they shot her below the waist it was because she was flipping or in some way attacking someone. After that comes the times she was bare foot (lakes, hot tubs, etc.), but I think I recall a couple of times where the footwear was open toe - beauty pageants or something like that. Those were the exceptions though – the way I remember it she mostly wore boots and they weren’t open toe.

Awwwwwwwww ... I wasn't thinking about when she was in other get-ups. I remember the boots for sure.

The different costumes were part of the fun. I wish the show had lasted a few more years so we could find out just how little of a two piece thing they could get Gabby to wear.

Lol! One of my favorite Gab memories is her looking down at her top, commenting that it keeps shrinking, and wondering, "Is it enchanted?" Lol! ~~~~~~~~~~ Here's a Xena reference I stumbled across, referring to a Saturday morning heroine who preceded the Warrior Princess by about two decades: "Isis might have been the Seventies' version of Xena, except no violence of any kind was allowed on Saturday morning shows, so these two heroes just flew around the town dispensing advice. " www.tvparty.com/sat75.html (scroll down and look on the left side) |
