I could be watching The Acolyte, or some other queer new show, but instead, I’m working my way through Xena: The Warrior Princess. It can be campy and ridiculous, but the women are attractive and dress to distract.
TV shows targeting modern audiences prioritize degenerate representation, but Xena is for normal people. I don’t know what to make of this episode. The centaur got his human girlfriend pregnant. This proud couple raises some uncomfortably porny questions. The idea keep pushing it’s way into my brain.
Xena and Gabrielle are professionals, so they act like this relationship is entirely conventional. We need Joxer or Autolycus to ask the awkward questions.
