Summary: 1996: That was the year that ...
Review: ... boldly moved television SciFi/Fantasy into exciting new levels of quality and entertainment. Babylon 5 was in its 3rd season and reaching its pivotal plot point. Xena: Warrior Princess began to come into its own with improved acting, wry comedic relief in well-written scripts, and character development of villains and fools which exceeded the usual one dimensional levels in the average prime time television venue. Would that we could experience more of said quality in this medium which rarely rises to its full potential.Worthy to note: Joxer, the fool, is given more depth to his character at the end of a comedic episode in this season. Those who know the episodes do not need me to name the episode. Those who are unfamiliar with the episodes will enjoy looking for this key scene which deepens and defines the Joxer character for the rest of the series.

Summary: Okay, many fans of XWP have spoken out ...
Review: ...about Anchor Bay's latest offering of Season Two. It was alot better than the first season in terms of picture quality and offerings. But if anyone working for Anchor Bay is reading what I have to say, please note that we WANT MORE! :) First off, try to clean up and sharpen up the DVD and it's code foundations so that my brand new UNIX-based 17-in widescreen PowerBook Mac doesn't suffer from any more from the occasional freezeups of both season's DVDs. Second, have LL and ROC along with other various castmemebers do full-length A/V commentaries of every episode in all subsequent seasons. Third, try to get out a seperate two to four DVD set of Xena WP Outtakes and Commentaries. And fourth, try to package all future sets using the same packaging for the first season set instead of the second season set. Of course, I would have also mentioned number five but that would be a little hard for anyone to try to fufill. And that is to have a DVD of Salemoneus attemping to use both season sets for 1. forgiveness from Talmadeus for a previous bad deal, 2. a get-out-of-jail pass by Lord Xerxes, and 3. runner-up prizes for the contestants from Messini, Parnassus, and Skiros. :) Did I miss anything?

Summary: Great season of a great show!
Review: A unique mix of action, drama, and humor, of fantasy, history and myth, made X:WP a unique show. All these qualities are on display in Xena's Season 2, probably the show's second best next to S3. Highlights include outstanding drama such as THE RETURN OF CALLISTO, DESTINY, A NECESSARY EVIL and THE PRICE, and sparkling comedy such as the unforgettable A DAY IN THE LIFE, TEN LITTLE WARLORDS and A COMEDY OF EROS (which combines madcap comedy with genuine poignant pathos at the end). Other terrific eps: REMEMBER NOTHING, INTIMATE STRANGER, THE QUEST, BLIND FAITH, LOST MARINER. Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor really come into their own in this season. The supporting cast shines too: Hudson Leick does a superb job not only as Callisto but as Xena in the body switch episodes, INTIMATE STRANGER and TEN LITTLE WARLORDS. The late lamented Kevin Smith shows two very different sides of Ares, God of War -- the cruel arrogant god and the suddenly human mortal. Ted Raimi as Joxer raises his character above mere comic relief, giving him true nobility and poignancy. There's also Karl Urban in dual roles as Caesar and Cupid, Alexandra Tydings as Aphrodite, and a notable guest appearance by Tony Todd in LOST MARINER. I found the picture and sound quality to be excellent. There could have been more in the way of commentary and bonus footage (no outtakes here, for instance), but still this is a great buy for any Xena fan.

Summary: What a great Birthday present....
Review: First off let me say I have had none of the technical problems that some of the other reviewers had and it would be a shame if someone who is a fan didn't buy this set because of it. (Yes, the picture quality could be better but it is still far and away better than the VHS version)
When I saw this was being released on my birthday I took it as a good sign... and boy, was it. I forgot how much I loved this season; so many great episodes. "A day in the Life", Callisto", "The Price", "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and many more. The best part of this DVD set for me was the commentaries... like the one for "Callisto" done by LL and ROC. They both don't like to watch their own work when its finished, so when they see their interaction after Gabrielle's wedding it was just priceless to hear them "get" what the "subtext" fervor was all about. All the commentaries were enjoyable.
Lastly, the 1/2 hour commentary by RT, LL and ROC was neat not only for their respective insights but the MUSIC! I really love Joe LaDuca's stuff for this series and was extremely disapointed when the dance music from "Girls Just wanna Have Fun" didn't make it to the sound track (Or M'lila singing about her homeland on "Destiny")but, iti is in the commentary...
I recieved 3 sets for my b-day and concidered keeping them all! ...hope this was helpful...Peej
