What are some of the things you didn't like about Xena, the show, if anything?

the series final, and probaly every episode after To Helicon And Back weren't that good in quality and as last episodes, except WFC.

Steadily escalating level of graphic sex and violence in the later seasons.
Also the fabric episodes. |

Much as above:
1. Plot inconsistencies; 2. Friend in Need Parts 1 & 2 (aka "fabric" episodes); 3. Escalating levels of sex being used as a tool; 4. Escalating levels of trashiness in character actions, clothing etc; 5. Lack of realisation of potential for storylines (eg Eve's Amazon heritage, the GOL as a malelovent force, the Twilight of the gods, Gabrielle as Ares' heir in season 5, Xena's choice to remain a warrior despite danger to her child and those she loved in season 5, etc); 6. Lack of Alexander the Great; 7. Decline in episode quality in later half of season 6; 8. Writers or TPTB insisting that Xena be completely infallable in later seasons aka "O Mighty Xena" despite Xena's blatant hypocritical and otherwise "bad" actions. Few other things, but the "good" way outweighs the "bad". Cheers, Haeph. |

Eve in season 6, wished they brought up her Amazon heritage, maybe even changing her character, so In To Helicon and Back, she ends up becoming Queen after Varia dies.

Poor writing of the character in season five.

Too many incidents in Xena's past. It got out of hand in the later years.
Plot inconsistencies. Was it that hard for them to find a story editor, someone who could keep track of the plotlines? Too much gratuitious violence, especially in Season Six (can't complain about the nudity ). The severed head in AFIN was particularly tasteless.

Almost everything about Season 5 except for Gabrielle becoming a warrior.
