Tag: Xena Season 2

Hey again, Xena fans. Welcome to my geography and timeline review for Season 2.

Welcome to my Season 2 overview for Xena: Warrior Princess. As I did for Season 1, I’ll be discussing the themes I see in the second season and trying to relate them to the show as a whole. I won’t link to individual episodes, since you can access them in the Tag Cloud under Xena Season 1 or Xena Season 2. There isn’t really one clear theme for this season, but there are several common threads that run through a lot of episodes. Continue reading “Xena Season 2 Overview”
