Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Rewatching Xena! The power, the cheese, the how bothered can we be about hiding the fact we’re filming in NZ (Lucy Lawless’ accent included).
Also time to state my favourite fact that Lucy Lawless got the powers that be to hide sneakers and kneepads in her costume. Also also less fun fact more opinion, Renee O’connor getting absolutely yoked as the seasons progressed, and doing her own stunts, legend!
I unironically love Xena (yes, am lesbian).
I love that it constantly makes fun of itself. As for Renee O’connor, I read somewhere that what happened was that they had her dressed all demurely in season 1 until production staff realised she was actually ripped. then, as an in joke, as the seasons went by they made her costume smaller and smaller/more and more revealing.
Also, I met Lucy Lawless once (in the context of an arts industry function) and she was lovely.
