Go to: http://www.usanetwork.com/feedback/

There is an address for Herc and Xena, and then there is one for general
feedback.  I sent an email to both.  I also snail-mailed two head
honchos.  As you can see, I am pretty upset!

Rose,
the E-mail is    hx@...      We
must ALL do our part!!!

April,

From  Rose,

I agree. Show teaches a lot about human relationships.

Maybe, just maybe the critics might learn something.

Do you have u.s.a.network e-mail?  Someone please send it to me.


   Thanks,

I think their relationship (subtext or not) is
sweet and refreshing.  Can't remember enjoying a series so much before.
I'm not one to enjoy
close relationship-type shows and/or stories,
but this one just reaches out and grabs that part of me that I didn't
know about.  USA needs to
restore the daily Xena fix.!!!  E-mail them NOW!!

From Cristina
I totally agree with you. I don't think that it really matters how they show
their affection. It really doesn't matter either way.

               =-)

Just a comment I need To make.
My Family came from Sicily. And like most Europeans, their was (is still)
always a show of affection between family and friends and emotion.Thats just
the way it is. And that is how I was raised and how my children were raised.
I was raised in Chicago, and I lived in a neighborhood with different ethnic
peoples. Italians Greeks,Polish,Irish,etc.

Good  affectionate, caring and concerned, friends and neighbors who hugged,
kissed, in good times.Men(as well as women and children) would also
hug,kiss,side cheek to side cheek,in,joyful times.sad time ,good-bye
times,happy to see you .times,sickness.We didn't wait until someone died to
let them know we care.Or when they are away from us,

When we moved more west of Chicago. People would notice this and they
thought
(Something's wrong and start to label) to me that is a shame, because it
keeps people from telling others how they feel and I think that is why,
nowadays why there is a lack of affection in the world today.

An Example in the Bible in the old days (Acts20:37)

What ever the case may be its none of our business (you see that-or
-whatever).And its up to the writers and the producers of the Xena series.

                                                         Thanks

I just noticed: I've been using Gabby as a nickname for months but Gabby IS
gabby - or loquacious or garrulous, or do all Bards do it?  This may be old
stuff to y'all but I'm new.

  BODY:
    Warrior Worship

    Not since Star Trek has a television show inspired the cult-like
veneration
enjoyed by  Xena:  Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.
Fans
rattle off episode titles like athletes quoting batting averages; they
discuss
character development with the same attention to detail usually afforded
fine
wines and rare china; they ritualize their experience - surrounded by
similarly-minded converts, or alone, hidden away from the prying eyes of
unbelievers - and set aside time each week to contemplate the allegories
strewn
throughout their small-screen stories. In 1997, for the first time in a
decade,
the Star Trek empire lost dominion over the syndicated-drama charts, and, as
the
mythic stars of ancient Greece eclipsed those of science fiction, Hercules
fan
clubs developed,  Xena  secret societies formed, and conventions were booked
across the country for both. Of the two shows produced by Pacific
Renaissance,
  Xena  seems the more highly debated and devotional, at least in our town;
although balanced by irreverence, raillery, and self-parody, the show's
complicated familial ties, dark dalliances, and copious ass-kicking strikes
a
chord with fans who either admire or desire the show's strong, female leads.

    For those behind the curve,  Xena  (played by New Zealand's statuesque,
icy-eyed, raven-haired knock-out  Lucy Lawless)  was born in Amphipolis some
time between, say, 1500 BC and 129 AD (see later historical breakdown). Her
real
father may or may not have been Ares the god of war (played by the rippling
Kiwi
hunk Kevin Smith on both Hercules and  Xena) , but her human father is said
to
have deserted the family before her birth or been killed by her mother to
prevent sure infanticide. (Regardless of the circumstance, this desertion,
coupled with that of  Xena's  first fiancee, who gave up marital bliss to
become
a diabolical warlord, no doubt abetted  Xena's  pivotal distrust of men and
fear
of intimacy.) Somewhere along the line,  Xena's  hometown was ravaged by
marauders, and she defended it alongside her brothers - two or three - and
in
order to safeguard the town from further attacks, she set about conquering
the
surrounding region. Consumed by power and bloodlust, and enjoying
"relations"
with some equally sadistic characters,  Xena  did not awake from her
merciless
stupor until her own men attacked her for saving the life of a baby.
Struggling
to subdue her dark impulses,  Xena  took to the open road at the beginning
of
the show as an act of contrition, determined to use her skills only for
good.

    Enter Gabrielle (played by pert, blonde Texan  Renee O'Connor)  who
deserted
her betrothed to chronicle  Xena's  adventures in the tradition of the great
bards of her time (more or less). Aside from her role as biographer and
hesitant
comrade in arms, Gabrielle is  Xena's  calming influence, an estrogen-rich,
somewhat na ve, optimistic humanitarian who gently curtails  Xena's  more
merciless rages.

    So, what about the subtext?

    According to Malibu-based Whoosh! -- journal for the International
Association of  Xena  Studies -- within the first two seasons, there were no
less than six kisses between Lawless and O'Connor, two of them
mouth-to-mouth.
There are allusions to the roles of "warrior" women within a patriarchal
society
and hints, according to some, at sado-masochist fixations. (See  Xena's
steamy
conflict with Cyane in "Adventures in the Sin Trade," or her penchant for
the
villainous Draco in "A Comedy of Eros.")

    Then there are the leather unmentionables.

    "I think the show approaches real problems with humor and imagination,"
says
43-year old fan Kath Dudek, whose fur cloak, broad sword, chain mail, and
helmet
inadvertently draw passersby up the steps of the Nob Hill Masonic Center
into
San Francisco's annual Official Hercules and  Xena  Convention. "Friendship
is
not always easy to maintain, tragedy can happen in spite of our best
intentions,
and anyone can be a warrior.  Xena  provides a great way to discuss issues
with
teenagers who are beginning to search for their own identity." Besides being
a
  Xena  fan, Dudek teaches novice combat techniques for the Society for
Creative Anachronism, a 35-year-old historical group that hosts weekly
battles
in Golden Gate Park and boasts a great number of  Xena/ Hercules fans.

    Never mind that  Xena  has Homer and Euripedes, who lived nearly 300
years
apart, competing in "Athens City Academy of the Performing Bards"; or that
Hippocrates (460 BC) and Galen (129 AD) cross paths in "Is There a Doctor in
the
House;" or that the Trojan War and Sophocles are mentioned as current
affairs,
despite a 700-year difference in time; or that  Xena  has had flings with
both
Julius Caesar, who died in 44 BC, and Hercules, who died around 1250 BC.

    "The stories are great," says Dudek, "and it's funny. This is a town that
loves its camp."

    "One look at Kevin Smith should tell you why I am a fan," says
40-year-old
Clemens resident and Smith fan club member Lanna King.

    Onstage, Smith struts in front of a podium, his well-formed body
accentuated
by clinging work-out pants and a tight white T-shirt.

    "Since I've become famous, I've dropped all my old friends, stopped
calling
my family, and cut down good acquaintances in the middle of the street,"
jokes
Smith in his laid-back, good-natured Kiwi accent. "Actually, being somewhat
famous, I have to conduct myself in a certain way. Normally, I'm a swine,
but I
don't have the luxury of venting my spleen any time I like. As soon as my
television career is through, I'm going to revert back to the A-hole I
really
am."

    The huge crowd laughs, and several woman in the audience scream. Hundreds
of
cameras flash in the aisles. Unlike her home, where King must downplay her
obsession among friends and family who find it childish, the convention is
filled with people whose interest is at least as great as her own. During
the
two-day visit, King meets tall, dark Minneapolis resident Renee Indehar;
together they enter and win the costume contest as  Xena  and Gabrielle.

    "We thought we'd have more power as a team," says King.

    "The show's all about teamwork," adds Indehar, who admits that watching a
show that has a lead actress to whom you bear a striking similarity has its
perks. "I won free airfare out here."

    In the auditorium, small, blonde-haired lovely Danielle Cormack is
addressed
by members of the crowd as the real Amazon Regent (an insider fact;
Gabrielle
has been given the title Amazon queen on the show). She is proposed to,
asked
for hugs, and asked to waltz. Cameras flash as she displays a gregarious
charm
and quick New Zealand wit and, although dressed in a peach satin gown and
knee-high leather boots, jokes about fanny (it's something else in her
country),
beer, and knocking her kids around.

    "I'm gonna give up acting and become a rock star," she says with a toss
of
her tawny mane. "Just holding this microphone makes me hot."

    Albequerque native Phil D. Hernandez claps wildly and takes notes. A
founder
of the Gabrielle and Joxer Romantic Society, a group dedicated to
encouraging
romantic love between the blonde side-kick and her doltish admirer on the
show,
Hernandez is gathering inspiration.

    "Some people think the relationship between Gabrielle and  Xena  should
be
only a lesbian one, but that's so limited," says Hernandez, adjusting his
silver
bow tie. "Joxer loves her and, I think, if he proposes, she should accept.
They
would make a wonderful couple. I'm a lot like Joxer. The similarities are
uncanny."

    As the junior division costume contestants take the stage, Hernandez
applauds
wildly for stocky Rachel Shing as  Xena,  willowy Natasha Kendall as
Cleopatra,
and the very poised, very small Samantha Duncan as  Xena's  son Solan. (As
the
announcer says, gender doesn't matter on this show.)

    "Natasha's grown a lot since the last contest," says Hernandez, giving
his
best  Xena  battle cry. "You start to recognize each other after a while."

We all need to do our duty and call, write and/or Email the USA network
about them yanking the
bulk of Xena airings.  By the Gods, Lucy just had her baby!!  Put
Baywatch on before or after Xena. Its a horrible replacement.

Hello,
All I know is that the USA network has taken off Xena from its weekly
schedule, and is only running it on, at least here in south Florida on
Sunday morning at 7am. Other than that congrats to the new parents and the
big sister on the birth of Julius.
as always,

almost an insulting acknowedgement of Lucy's baby.  What's going on?

If you want to snail mail USA, it might get their attention more.  My
husband has heard that for every letter the networks get, they count it
as 1,000 people who watch.  I've sent the addresses to other lists, too:

Jim Benson
>Head of Public Relations
>Studios USA
>8800 Sunset Blvd
>W Hollywood, CA 90069
>
>David Kissinger
>President of Network Television
>Studios USA
>8800 Sunset Blvd
>W Hollywood, CA 90069

Maybe all of us can get things done.  Even if you just print out the
email you've sent, it will hit them from both sides!

Dina

On the USA airing page we have the email address you can send your thoughts
to.

I do not know about the WB40 debacle.
