Okay, folks, I've got a little recommendation for you. There's a fairly new blog, Retro-Recaps, and it would behoove all of you to give it a look see. The premise of looking back at long-gone but still loved television shows has been done, but this blog delivers it with a sharper sort of snark, wit, and criticism wrapped up in an endearingly meandering package.
The creator, Annie, obviously loves the shows she's recapping (as of this writing, she's almost through with season one of "Xena: Warrior Princess") but she also holds nothing sacred. Every character and convention comes up for a good ribbing. For those who don't hold with the "subtext" aspects of "X:WP," a word of caution: Annie is heavily on the "They are!" side of "Are they or aren't they?" when it comes to Xena and Gabrielle. Of course, I myself find that side of the argument endlessly enticing, and her humor in that direction is silly and fun enough for anyone.
Retro-Recaps promises to be a fun time for all. Go, read, laugh.
Xena wants you to.
