[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8986591, member: 18"] I will always remember Xena because when it was on one of my friends was just starting a writing degree (or whatever you call that), and we were watching it, and he's watching Xena and Gabrielle splash around in the surf laughing and he's like "Water equals sex in a lot of fiction", and I'm like "Oh my god" and I never saw the show the same way again (it improved it). And you're completely right re: fantasy and the period Xena covered. I was born in 1978 myself and I just sort of assumed fantasy would never come back, that it enjoyed some popularity in movies in the '80s and that was it. 2000's D&D movie only reinforced this view. LotR kind of smashed that though, even if it took a decade for the effects to start becoming fully obvious and two for them to become far-reaching. [/QUOTE]
