Barnes & Noble During her triumphal first season, Xena: Warrior Princess was the unheralded darling of syndicated TV, toppling heavyweights like Baywatch and sprinting past Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, the lead-in series that spawned this spin-off. But the full force of Xenas power wasnt unleashed until Season 2. The show became a pop-culture juggernaut, and star Lucy Lawless saw her likeness on countless magazine covers, as well as on action figures and lunchboxes. It even inspired an homage on the mainstream network hit Roseanne. Watching Lawless hit her stride in these episodes, its easy to understand why America went ga-ga. Whether shes vaulting into aerial flips or hurling her lethal boomerang at supersonic speeds, Xenas comic book action often rivals Jackie Chans. (Nor is it all stunt-doubled: Lawless was thrown from a horse rehearsing a Tonight Show skit, and some Season 2 episodes were edited to mask her recovery from a fractured pelvis.) In the space-time continuum of the loopy Xenaverse, anything can and does happen. This seasons story lines teleport our heroine from the Trojan War to World War II, with a stop at the Miss Known World beauty pageant in the mythical Amphipolis. Xenas relationship with Gabrielle (Renée OConnor), a magnet for straight guys and gay gals alike -- also gets pretty far out. In one titillating sequence, known to fans as simply The Kiss, Xena plants a big one on Gabrielle -- who opens her eyes to discover the kisser is really a man (whose body contains Xenas soul). As the warrior princess would yelp in her trademark battle cry: "Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!"
