Xena's my anti depressant. When I feel down, very often I get Xena cravings. And lately that has been often (long story, don't ask
) Anyway, I've been watching Xena a lot lately, and some burning questions refuse to get
out of my head. Feel free to add your own, or try to find answers to them.
- Where were they going all the time? They're always traveling, and traveling, and traveling...."Oh, we're going to Thessally" "Oh, I'm meeting xena in corinth", etc, etc. I mean, I understand them sometimes going placees for a festival, or because they were summoded or something, but it seems like they're going somewhere ALL the time! What were they doing? Internal tourism or something?
- How did everyone (specially Joxer) find them all the time? Did Xena had GPS in one of her chakrams jewels? Every time Joxer finds them, or someone 'sends' word to them and actually finds them, I wonder how they were found so easily, it's not like they had a fixed address.
- Where did they get their money? They bought food, supplies, inn rooms, where did they get the money? Gabrielle's storytelling? The kindness of strangers? Xena's secret money stash from her warlod days?
- What the hell was Xena and Ares back story? One of the most interesting/important relationships on the show and we never really see/hear its beginning. There's some very, very vague references to it, but nothing solid. This has always bothered me a bit, considering all the flashback episodes with Caesar, Lao Ma, Cyane, Borias, Borias, Borias, Odin, etc, how come there was never one with Ares?
- Where did Xena get the chakram? From Chakram, we assume it has to do with Ares, but what's the real story?
Feel free to discuss.
And, LK, since you are the keeper of all things Xena in this forum, if there's a similar thread, feel free to close.

Good to see you... sorry you've been feeling down.
Xena is a great fix!
Funny, though, that the only time someone had a hard time finding them, it was the gods in Looking Death in the Eye.
I also think it's quite possible that Xena did take money sometimes, from those who could afford it. Maybe King Lias opened a bank
account for her.
It was pretty clear that they were in
circulation (copies, I assume), since a number of characters mentioned reading them. (Minya and Mavican, among others.)
