A lot of people complain about Xena and Gabrielle not being close enough this season. Like they are business partners instead of Best Pals/Soul-mates. Or so I've read.
Well you know there are a lot of people who are over analyzing this TV show.
If you are reading this you have certainly read some fanfic and episode guides like Whoosh and Xenaville. By the gods people get their knickers in a twist if Xena or Gabrielle does something they consider wrong. Or the director sucked or the writers were on LSD. Or it was too hot or raining.
Too much energy expended, often with stunning length, about what was wrong with season 5.
Yes, it is great to see Xena and Gabrielle all nice and cozy by the campfire. It would be better to see them married in fact.
Renaissance has played this relationship about 2 main characters that are both women closer to the edge than any other TV show. You can only go so far before you've gone too far. RenPics knew this.
This series has a number of good episodes. I don't need to see Xena and Gabrielle snuggling by the campfire all the time. TPTB have written enough of that plenty of times.
In fact, Gabrielle is one fierce a$$ kicker during this series. Finally got over that Peace and Love BS in S4.
So sit back and enjoy season 5. Because you can't change it and it is still a good show.
Season 6 wouldn't exist without season 5.

Season 5 wasn't as bad as Whoosh or Xenaville or the Nutball Fans would have you believe.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 16, 2015
I watched season 4 and it was so dark I did not want to watch Season 5. But Season 5 was not dark at all. The only episode I had a problem with was the first episode on season 5. I did not agree with the heaven and hell scene. I thought they went too far with that scene and that was some of the ideas still left over from Season 4 that just got caught on season 5. I think someone came up with the ideas for season 4 and pushed it on the writers. They have to stay employed so they had to go with them but season 5 I could tell that they went back to the original ideas of what made Xena truly a great dvd to watch. Whatever and whoever came up with the ideas for season 4 went extremely too far. It's okay to have imagination and come up with characters and creatures people have never seen before but season 4 seemed too demonic. Like someone was trying to teach the audience the traditions and rituals rather than it being a season and telling a story of heroic deeds and tales. I hated 4 but season 5 really redeemed itself. I would give 5 stars but I hated the first episode and really thought it took away from the epic and heroic story of Xena.

This is a great series. Season 5 fell a bit short midway in the season but it did get better. This show has something for everyone - action, adventure, fantasy, sci-fi, comedy, drama - with great actors and clever writing. Xena had a plethora of stars who guest-starred early in their careers. The tone of each episode varied, so it was refreshing to have that unpredictability and change from week to week. Shot in New Zealand, it offered plenty of beautiful scenery to enjoy. Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor have a magical chemistry that is endearing. One of the best things I love that you don't see with shows anymore is that the lighting on this show was fantastic. It wasn't ever dark or hard to see. It was a pleasure and easy to watch; bright, beautiful and always lit well even indoors. I had never realized what a big difference that could make until watching Xena. Just a heads-up, there are two versions of the dvd's: 1. the original deluxe dvd's include all of the bonus content 2. the re-released dvd's only have the episodes. I have both sets and haven't noticed a difference in the picture or sound quality between the two, so it really just depends on if you want the bonus content or not.

The reason I gave this a five star rating is because I'm huge fan of Lucy Lawless. By the way she plays the part of XENA THE WARRIOR PRINCESS. She also as a young sidekick her name is GABRIELLE. Her part is played by (Renee O' Connor) which I'm also a huge fan of! In Season Five these are the continuing episodes that left off of Season Four.In Season Five ("YOU" will get "22" new episodes of XENA!! In Season Five. After facing an almost! (" TERRIFYING DEATH!!") XENA goes to ("HELL") and back to save those she ("LOVES!!") most. But as she battles ("POWERFUL!") Deities and ("INTIMIDATING!!") Armies. But her biggest ("CHALLENGE!") Maybe? actually be growing inside ("HER!!") ("WOW!!!") I can not ("WAIT!") to find out what that is???. Do not ("WORRY!") I know what it is or I would not be telling ("YOU!") About SEASON FIVE! I bet ("YOU!") would like to know though??? I do not recommend this for small children. I say from ten on up! in age! This show is not ("RATED!") So ("PARENTS!") It's up to ("YOU!") If you let your children under age watch this ("SHOW!") This show is not ("DISNEY!") Where everybody lives ("HAPPY EVERY AFTER!!"

"Limited signs of wear"
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 20, 2021
Discs do play fine as stated however I would not call the wear and tear on these as limited.
Id suggest showing the actual photos of the item instead of just a light description of the damage.
Quote: The disc will play perfectly without interruption and the case, inlay notes and sleeve may show limited signs of wear.
Also took longer to arrive than stated as well.
Im glad to finally finish my collection with this but the same time not too happy either.
I guess its a risk you take when getting items.
