5.0 out of 5 stars A Spin Off Takes Over, Jun 18 2004

By

Mike Stanbridge (Quincy, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Xena Warrior Princess:S4 (DVD)

This is probably the best season of Xena: Warrior Princess. Finally free of its parent show Hercules : The Legendary Journeys, the show is allowed to branch out into some interesting new directions and take on a bit of a different spin. This season shows pretty much the last of the crossovers between characters from Hercules into Xena and establishes the main cast of characters that will be definitive to the show.
The first three episodes deal with Xena searching for her dead sidekick Gabrielle by travelling to the Amazon Land of the dead where she battles the shamoness Alti and frees the spirits of the dead Amazons of her wicked past. Eventually she recovers Gabrielle but, she has been changed by the loss and the quest. We begin to see the relationship between the two characters begin to take on a new level that will eventually cause arguments for years to come.
I dont like to write spoilers so from an overview perspective highlights of the season include a hillarious send up of "Footloose" dubbed "A Tale of Two Muses" and a reoccurring band of characters from Roman Times that we all know from reading Shakespeare's "Julius Ceasar." There are also several appearances by the "King of B Movies," Bruce Campbell as Autolycus, King of Thieves, which are always welcome to me in any series. The show stopper is, appropriately, the season finale "De ja vu, All over again," which is so funny I have to wonder if the great Yogi Bera had something to do with the script other than lending the title!
The stocking stuffers on this set are incredible. I have yet to see this much bonus content on another series. The packaging is a new and compact design that is unique from what I have seen out there. Apart from the eight discs with episodes and commentary there are two "bonus discs" just for special features which I haven't seen outside of "The Lord of The Rings" releases. This set is definitely worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars It just gets better and better, Jun 17 2004

This review is from: Xena Warrior Princess:S4 (DVD)

I just bought this Season from Amazon, and I just had time to watch the first two episodes and I am already hooked. From what I remember watching this season on TV when it first aired, this was an excellent season and so far I am enjoying it again just like when I first saw these episodes. I recommend the whole series cause honestly Xena gets even better in season 5 and 6.

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat Disappointed, Jun 16 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Xena Warrior Princess:S4 (DVD)

I enjoy having Season 4 on DVD because I love the episodes. However, I am none too thrilled with the additional features. It seems that the commentary from Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor is sloppy. It's as if it were just thrown together without much thought. There is lots of commentary from the writers and directors, but I much rather hear from the actors, also way too much Rob Tappert.

In my opinion, Season 4 marked a point where the subtext really reached a new level, and there is little to no discussion about it on this set--it was discussed more in depthly on the other series of DVDs.It's worth the $$ for the episode, but your out of luck if you LOVE subtext discussions

3.0 out of 5 stars A So-So Set
Season 4 is not my favorite season it. It was overly sentimental, much like season 6. But I won't comment on the season, I'll comment on the set. Read more
