Anyone else enjoying the new Charmed series more than the original? 

I was going to say Lloyd Christmas.

Fan-X in Salt Lake City? I noticed on the first day, they had his autograph table a few down from Lucy Lawless’s, and the next day they moved him across the room. This could have been for other reasons than his jealous, but I couldn’t help but speculate they’d moved him because of his open jealousy of Lawless and…

Rob Tapert hadn’t even met Lawless when she was cast as Xena. He was the holdout and Eric Gruendemann had to convince him Lawless was the right actress for the job after Vanessa Angel dropped out.

I read Sorbo’s memoir and he said he just didn’t understand how the Maori could keep vandalizing some colonial statue after all the colonists had done for them. I got the book from the library so I can’t find the exact passage. 

Xena is portrayed as having male and female lovers throughout the series. Gabrielle is interested in boys in the first and second season, when she is a teenage girl leaving her village for the first time, but pretty much only has female love interests after that (Xena and a few other women throughout the series).…

Here are a few choice Kevin Sorbo quotes:

I’ll always appreciate Rob Tapert’s role in bringing us Xena, but it’s hard to stay a loyal fan when he (I believe) is the one stopping a Xena reboot or revival from happening. Many people have said he’s hard to work with. Have you seen John Schulian’s memoir? He co-created the Xena character and writes about his…

Thank you! The comments on Xena Movie Campaign and the Xenites Facebook group have been depressing. I can’t believe Xenites are celebrating what I consider to be the end of our franchise.

Thanks for sharing, Julie! I run Xena Movie Campaign and shared the leaked script.

As I understand it, the reboot was canceled because Rob Tapert, co-creator of Xena and husband to Lucy Lawless, changed his mind about doing one. “You can’t catch lightning in a bottle twice,” he said at a recent con appearance (I’m…

It’s nice to see io9 doing TV recaps again.  More of these, please!  

All I want is a Valkyrie series.

More MCU shows would get me to subscribe to the Disney streaming service. However, I hope the Marvel movies start acknowledging the events in the TV series. All they’d need to do is have Agent May show up in Captain Marvel. <3 <3 <3 But I digress.

I’d most of all like to see a Valkyrie series.

I love how they use Blockbuster Video as the visual cue THIS IS THE 90s.

That is funny!  My mom and I hate watched it together, and then when I went for college we’d email about it.  I used to troll 7th Heaven fans on the AOL message board for the show.  They sincerely asked, “If you hate this show, why do you watch it?”

He came back in one of the later seasons when Lucy had jury duty. She did everything she could to get out of serving, and dues ex machina Jimmy Moon was the defendant so he was dismissed.  I don’t remember what he was being charged with but I bet it was SMOKING POT since this show acted like marijuana was the devil’s…

Was it Jimmy Moon?

I remember Ashlee Simpson from a few years earlier, when she was on Seventh Heaven, the first show I ever hate-watched. 

He’s the love interest in Shannon Purser’s upcoming Netflix romcom as well, Sierra Burgess is a Loser

I look forward to this article every fall since io9 is pretty much how I decide what to watch.  However, I really miss your weekly recaps of all the genre shows.
