Lucy Lawless is asking for it!

The person who's not recognizable for anything besides one thing is asking for that one thing to come back isn't too shocking tbh

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Gonna be all dark and gory, Game of Thrones style.

...do not want.

This is stupid. Hercules comes first, not the other way around.

 

[Avixph]

Now who is going to revive Cleopatra 2525?

 

[strafer]

Ryan Gosling as Hercules please.

 

[Xena]

Please be good!!!

 

[Slayven]

Now who is going to revive Cleopatra 2525?

Don't play, that shit was my jam

 

[Shaanyboi]

Unless every bad guy gets taken down with a flip, I am not interested.

 

[Avixph]

Don't play, that shit was my jam

Hey I liked that show too, so I nominate Netflix to revive it.

 

[anaron]

just bring back Lucy

The person who's not recognizable for anything besides one thing is asking for that one thing to come back isn't too shocking tbh

lol what?

she's been in so many popular, quality shows since.

 

[ReiGun]

Xena>>>>>Hercules

Ain't this the truth. Hercules was always just "the thing that came on before Xena."

 

[triplestation]

no thanks

wtf

 

[alfredofroylan]

Ah Tumblr, I know you'll deliver

I think I’ll only accept a Xena reboot if it is about Xena and Gabby’s daughter, also named Xena, who regularly goes home to her moms for ass kicking advice

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

NBC eh? canned in 2 seasons max

 

[Slayven]

Hey I liked that show too, so I nominate Netflix to revive it.

What about that Jack of All Trades?

nah...Brisco ftw

 

[Slayven]

nah...Brisco ftw

wasn't syndicated

 

[Philippo]

I hope they won't dare to bring back Hercules without Sorbo in it.

Also, in this new iteration the lesbian elements will be turned up to 11

, mark my words.

 

[NastyBook]

Sure, NBC has such great record for reboots and tv series altogether.

Word. This shit is D.O.A., especially sans Lawless. I'm expecting cameos by Matt Ryan and Mads Mikkelsen during the slapstick/4th wall episodes.

Now who is going to revive Cleopatra 2525?

Gina Tores has moved on to greener pastures, breh.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

I'm conflicted. On the one hand, FUCK YEAH XENA! On the other hand, without Lucy Lawless what's the point?

 

[davepoobond]

NBC should revive Stargate instead since they fucking own it

 

[Philippo]

 

[Averon]

NBC should revive Stargate instead since they fucking own it

Man, I'd kill for a new Stargate TV series.

 

[King Al B]

You can't reboot perfection. And no Lucy no watchy

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

No one. She's still as beautiful as ever and she hasn't aged at all. Why would they replace her ?

Give me Lucy Lawless and I'll watch the show even if it's bad.

Spoiler

Dayum.

Yeah just bring Lucy Lawless back for the role. She still lookin fine.

So how is Gabrielle looking these days?

 

[Vandiger]

NBC? I'm depressed

 

[hipbabboom]

Keep the asshole Kevin Serbo out of it and I may check it out. I used to like that guy.... serves me right.

 

[Stallion Dan]

NBC should revive Stargate instead since they fucking own it

Word.

 

[Magwik]

It's going to die faster than Constantine

 

[Fudgepuppy]

It could be a sequel, with Lucy Lawless playing Xena, with her daughter Xeniana or something stupid like that.

I'd watch it!

 

[Morts]

If they bring back Star Trek: Voyager and Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman too I can go to my parent's house and have the same fights about what to watch on Saturday evenings that we did twenty years ago.

 

[Zukuu]

Hope they will cast a somewhat buff chick and not miscast it with someone skinny. :X

Voyager has nothing to do with NBC? It was a UPN show which was between WB + Paramount (viacom/CBS) and is now the CW

 

[Switch Back 9]

I really hope they don't dick around the Xena/Gabrielle relationship this time around, just to pull the trigger at the very end. Make it happen from the get-go.

Otherwise...can't wait!

Yeah what was up with that exactly? Were they lesbians? I never really watched the show but I remember it being pretty obvious (to my pre-teen mind anyway)

 

[>:)]

What's Hogan up to these days (besides the whole Gawker thing)? Pretty sure he wouldn't say no to rebooting Thunder in Paradise

 

[FLAguy954]

I wonder how salty Kevin sorbo is right now


Xena>>>>>Hercules


They've aged horribly though. Not that it was every truly great or anything, but I'm not sure if NBC can do right by it. It'll probably get canceled.

Such a show would get cancelled in an instant these days.

NBC will cancel it after the first 10mins. So please don't get excited.

So NBC can then cancel it...real smart.

Yup.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

I'm so there. Please bring back Lawless.

If Sam Raimi is still going to produce, it won't be dark.

Spoiler

I want it to be dark.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Ok now for the important question. Who do they get to play Callisto? I mean damn that girl is irreplaceable.

 

[Syriel]

But who could possibly replace Lucy Lawless? Just can't be a pretty face, she'd have to have presence. Hmm...

Jaimie Alexander (aka Lady Sif)

She has the presence and the look. She would make a great Xena.

 

[Morts]

Voyager has nothing to do with NBC? It was a UPN show which was between WB + Paramount (viacom/CBS) and is now the CW

In my area Voyages and Xena were on back-to-back on UPN, from 6-8 on Saturday nights or something like that.

 

[strafer]

Jaimie Alexander (aka Lady Sif)

I like the way you think.

I first thought you meant "they've" as in "Xena and Hercules" as in "Lucy and Kevin" and I was about to spam you with recent pics to show you how damn wrong you are.

But then I realized you meant the actual shows themselves. Yeah. Can't deny that.

 

[googleplex]

H...How..would that even work? Pergnacy via magical conception?

Edit.. Wait! Didn't that actually happen during the show?

 

[Apoc29]

Does NBC even have shows that aren't about cops? I can't imagine they will do Xena justice.

They'll probably do a modern reboot where Xena is a streetwise NY detective training her rookie partner Gabrielle. Actually, I'd watch that.

 

[cyberheater]

I hope they make it.

 

[The Silver]

Xena was a spinoff? Hard to think of spinoffs that have eclipsed the original to that extent.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

H...How..would that even work? Pergnacy via magical conception?

Edit.. Wait! Didn't that actually happen during the show?

Twice as I recall.

Yes, that happened. And Xena's baby was

the reincarnation of Callisto, no less.

This was right after Ares killed

the Jesus expy

, but before the Olympians

hunted Xena

. Also, Gabrielle lived with a merman version of Joxer in there somewhere.

Holy crap that show was nuts. I need to rewatch it.

EDIT: I Wanna Be the Guy is right. It happened to Gabrielle too.
