One cool thing about this episode is that we spend a lot of time setting the stage for how important Xena was for queer people at the time of its release. How do I know? I was 12 when the first episode dropped. Just like that, I became gay.

Very correct Tyler Perry take here.
Amazing My Name Is Earl reference.
I am doubling down on " @saracentury.bsky.social should be writing a Xena comic" as one of my agendas.
Having been the right age to grow up on X-Men TAS, Xena, Buffy, etc. all at the same time was such a gift.

I'm so thrilled that someone, anyone, actually asked me to talk about Xena, because as I joke in the episode, people are usually asking me to STOP talking about Xena 😂
