Description
In Sins of the Past she was reborn. In A Friend in Need she was laid to rest. What happened during the years in between is what creates a legend. And it took you, the fans, to create this box-set. You selected the episodes that best documented Xena and Gabrielle's journeys, their adventures, and their friendship. You showed us what it meant to be Xena fans. So for you, we have developed this ultimate 10th Anniversary Xena Collection.

I really did enjoy the box set but did think it was just alittle short.
 Great Collection Xena December 6, 2007
This collection gives a nice over view of a bit of each season, it's fun. Well worth it. I'll be watching it again soon.

I was a junior in highschool when Xena's final episode aired on television. The show, for a while, ran in syndication, and after a few years hiatus is now back on tv. It was its return to tv that prompted me to buy this set. I had forgotten how much I loved to watch Xena and Gabrielle's adventures. These episodes are great, and I've noticed that some of what we see here is not what aired on tv, guess the FCC had something to say about it. It also saves you money if you want the director's cut of Friend in Need, as its included in this boxed set. Granted there are other episodes I would have chosen, but until I get the seasons this will work for me just fine. Great buy, and any Xena fan would want it for their collection.
Just wanted to mention, one thing I also love are the black and white pictures on the inside glossy dvd covers. The show's greatest moments are actually compiled on six discs, with the seventh being nothing but extras. The commentary is also wonderful, as its nice to see Lucy [Lawless] and Renee [O'Connor] laughing and enjoying the show just as much,if not more than, as the fans.
 Season 5 and 6 heavy? March 11, 2006

I cannot help but say I'm suprised by this. The earlier seasons (1/2/3) are almost universally accepted as the best by the fans - and we only get a single season 2 episode in this collection?? This is not even close to what I'd assemble as an "essential" list. Season 4 I can understand, as that was not well accepted overall. I guess I just find it hard to believe that this is truly representative of fan desires (and I've been a huge Xena fan since the show's start.) Perhaps the fans shouldn't have been involved at all! A list of shows showing Xena's evolution, starting with her appearance on Hercules, and ending with her death - and all comedy and non-arc stories generally excluded - would have gone a lot farther.
Enjoyable, but was hoping for more. September 14, 2005

I love Xena-the Warrior Princess. I think that Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor did an awesome job portraying Xena and Gabrielle. While I appreciate the aspects of their relationship, I felt that the 10th Anniversary set left much to be desired. It is still a must buy for a serious fan due to the interviews and insights given by the actors, directors, etc involved with the show. I know that they must have polled fans to get the episodes, but I have to wonder how the Debt and Sin Trade were left off. Not to mention so many other episodes that dealt with my favorite aspect of the show which was Xena's redemption for her dark past. The packaging is nice and it is nice to see Lucy and Renee talking about the show.
