In a time of ancient gods, warlords, and kings, A land in turmoil cried out for a hero. She was Xena, a mighty princess, forged in the heat of battle. The power... the passion... the danger...Her courage will change the world...

Xena & Gabrielle (超愛這張的~~)

這部影集是奇幻影集【Hercules】海克力斯大力士的延伸影集,總共六季,真是花了好一段時間才全部看完,內容敘述Xena為了改過自新(在Hercules飾演無惡不作的Warlord)而踏上贖罪旅途,而途中加入吟遊詩人Gabrielle一起旅行冒險,兩個人不離不棄的情感令人動容,They are soulmates (她們是對方的靈魂伴侶)。

雖說此劇看起來充滿戰士賣muscle、為了侵略領土而進行暴力大屠殺之類的,但看完這部之後,深深覺得挺有哲學思考的...像是Xena說道,劍應該是解決問題的最後防線,人們往往都太快拔劍出來解決問題導致塗靈生炭,但當你拔劍的那刻,就要做好殺生的準備。還有Xena教Gabrielle(Gabby)生存之道那段真的很讚,Rules Of Survival。(摘自http://blog.roodo.com/xena)

GABRIELLE: "I don’t want to learn to kill. I want to learn to survive."
我不是想學怎麼殺生. 我想學怎麼逃生.

XENA: "All right. The rules of survival. Number one. If you can run, run. Number two. If you can’t run surrender, and then run. Number three. If you’re outnumbered, let them fight each other, while you run. Number four."
那好. 求生之道. 第一條. 如果妳能跑, 跑. 第二條. 如果妳不能跑, 投降, 然後逃跑. 第三條, 如果對方人數眾多, 讓他們自相殘殺, 當妳逃跑的時候. 第四條. (Xena 講話夠酷吧? 都沒有廢話的 ^^)

GABRIELLE: More "Running" ?
更多的逃跑 ? (招惹Xena的白眼...無言)


編劇真的很了解各國文化,中國、印度、日本(因為都有編在劇中),希臘神話故事、羅馬凱撒、還跟戰神Areas有一腿、特洛依木馬屠城Xena也有參一腳(跟海倫是好朋友),上天下海入地獄出天堂涵括範圍非常廣,還有現代挖掘Gabrielle所寫的捲軸(Scroll)來研究Xena(chakram俠客輪研究會),chakram是Xena身上除了劍之外腰身所佩帶的武器(神器,好像是Areas送的)

我喜歡看音樂劇(像是紅磨坊、悲慘世界之類的),Xena在Bitter Suite那集穿插音樂劇,手法到位令人印象深刻,有趣的是戰爭與和平之歌恰巧是Xena與Gabby的代表,有點戰爭與和平X墨子的兼愛非攻小小感覺,光是這集就另外出了張原聲帶The Bitter Suite。
Welcome to Island Of illusia~歡迎來到幻像之島,名副其實的幻覺之島,一切都是幻覺,如此不真實的夢幻卻又真實的呈現眼前,大魔頭Callisto還化身可愛蘿莉帶著Xena到處晃,Gabby那邊是Joxer化身帶領人解析小Gabby的罪孽之心(Xena的小孩Solan被Gabby的小孩Hope所殺害,喪子之痛讓Xena氣到想殺死Gabby)...


Xena & Gabrielle 幕後不忘搞笑之照(Xena陸陸續續拍了六季~唉..真希望編劇能拍個外傳把Xena帶回來...七夕鵲橋相會好像不錯,不然來個神無月版的Xena投胎轉世與Gabby永遠在一起,Xena迷怨氣可是很重的~殘念中)

第一季大多是寡言沉默的Xena配上絮絮叨叨的Gabrielle,然後在Callisto那集加入阿呆Joxer開始三人行(Team),有點三角戀的情況,因為Joxer愛上小Gabby,小Gabby心屬何處呢??? 不用說! 當然是我們的Xena囉。第二季開始Xena開始搞笑,可能是受Gabby愛講話影響吧,也學會跟著吐槽,Joxer每次看他都很好笑,真的很有喜劇泰斗的感覺,也讓這部影集多些趣味。

Joxer


Joxer's Song

Joxer the Mighty
Roams through the countryside
He never needs a place to hide
With Gabby as his sidekick
Fighting with her little stick
Righting wrongs and singing songs
Being mighty all day long
He's Joxer—he's Joxer the Mighty!
Oohhhhhh—
He's Joxer the Mighty
He's really tidy
Everybody likes him
'Cause he has a funny grin
Joxer—
Joxer the Mighty!

Joxer the Mighty
He's very tidy
Everyone admires him
He's so handsome it's a sin
When you're in jeopardy
Don't call the cavalry
There's a better remedy
(Although he doesn't work for free)
He's every man's trusty,
He's every woman's fantasy,
Plus he's goo-oood company
He's Joxer—
I'm Joxer the Mighty!

Blood—valour—and victory! Ha-HA!
Joxer the Mighty
He's very tidy
Everyone admires him
He's so handsome it's a sin
When things get grim
He'll take it on the chin
If you're in jeopardy
Caused by the enemy
Don't call the cavalry
There's a better remedy
(Although he doesn't work for free!)
He's every man's trusty,
He's every woman's fantasy,
Plus he's goo-oood company
Look out! He's Joxer--
Joxer the Mighty!
Joxer the Mighty!!!

Xena與Gabrielle坐在河邊,Gabby擔心自己破殺戒(詳細請看1x03捕夢人),Xena跟Gabby訴說殺了人,一切事情都會改變,就像這湖水一般,原本不屬於湖水的石頭代表愧疚,原本純淨的心靈抹上一點黑,殺人愧疚就如影隨形跟著你一輩子,直到生命結束。(有點哲學但講得很好,值得讓人省思)

XENA: “See how calm the surface of the water is. That was me once. And then The water ripples and churns; that’s what I became.”
妳看水的表面多麼平靜. 我曾經是那樣的. 然後水開始起了漣漪, 劇烈攪動, 這就是後來我變成的樣子.

GABRIELLE: “But if we sit here long enough it will go back to being still again. It will go back to being calm.”
可是如果我們坐在這裡夠久, 水就會回到靜止的狀態. 它會變平靜的.

XENA: "But the stone’s still under there. It’s now part of the lake. It might look as it did before, but it’s forever changed. Come on let’s go.”
可是那石頭仍然在底下. 它已經變成湖的一部分. 湖水似乎看起來和以前一樣, 但是湖永遠不一樣了. 來吧, 走了.

GABRIELLE: “For your first stab at wisdom, you did all right.”
這是妳第一次說這麼發人深省的話, 做的不錯.

---------------Intresting Song

在youtube上閒逛看到這首很有趣的歌,聽到這首歌讓我噗嗤笑出來並體會作者的幽默,剛開始聽的時候還以為是GABRIELLE唱的,感覺表達出Gabrielle的心聲,呵呵~~~這首歌作者Marilyn Rucker,感覺是個有趣調皮淘氣的女仕,有興趣的可以上她的space觀看,還有哈利波特的Teapot lady(描寫桃樂絲·珍·恩不里居Dolores Umbridge所寫的歌,很妙) Marilyn Rucker 介紹


超級Xena迷演出非常有趣(我覺得很像Xena)

If I could be like Xena (By Marilyn Rucker)

If I could be like Xena
A feisty warrior princess
I'd scream my ululations
While I slice and dice and minces
如果我可以像Xena一樣
一個勇猛活躍的戰士公主~
我會發出"阿啦啦"的叫聲
就是當我要踢壞人屁股的時候....

I could scare my landlord
And make him fix my shower
And he would not evict me
Cause I'd have such awesome power
我可以隨意威脅領主們
讓他們為我並列送行
而他們不會反抗我
因為我有強大的力量
(可以隨意殺神的力量,劇中幾乎都把神殺光了...
一開始女兒出生,宙斯就死了)

And I would be a legend
Riding horseback through the street
Conquering my inner demons
Fighting crime from here to Crete
而我會成為一個傳奇
騎在馬背上翻山越嶺
抑制我內在的幽暗邪惡
從克里特島(希臘領土)開始對抗惡勢力

Let's all be heroes!
Let's all have swords!
Let's party with centaurs
And drink wine from gourds!
We'll bail out the good guys and
Wipe out the bad
Cause it keeps us in training for the great Olympiad!
讓我們都成為英雄!!
讓我們都佩帶寶劍!!
讓我們與人馬獸舉辦派對大口喝酒
我們將鋤強扶弱,踢翻所有壞人
因為我們要去跑奧運~~

But the gods are laughing at me
And all the goddesses smirk too
Cause I'm just a little milksop
And I am so afraid of you.
但是眾神們都嘲笑我...
女神們也發出噗嗤的笑聲
因為我只是個遜咖凡人~
而且我很怕神降下來的懲罰

But if I could be like Xena
For just an hour or two or three
I could beat you at your own games
And then you'd fall in love with me
(That's how it works on t.v.)
但如果我可以像Xena一樣
哪怕只有一小時或兩三小時也好~
我可以用強大神力打敗眾神
且你會輕易的愛上我~
(這就是電視上演的阿...)

Instrumental (樂器聲)

If I could be like Xena
A feisty warrior princess
I catch daggers in my teeth
And I hardly even winces
但如果我可以像Xena一樣
一個勇猛善戰的戰士公主~
我可以用匕首來剔牙
且我從不畏首畏尾~

That's the kind of stuff it takes, yeah
To make it in the old or new world
You gotta be a muscle mama
Or some folks treat you like a slave girl.
這是戰士必備條件~YA~
為了讓舊世界或新世界變得更美好...
(與Gabby沉睡25年後醒來都沒變老,就這樣穿越時空)
妳必須做個勇猛肌肉辣媽
或是讓人把妳當作奴隸女孩...
(Xena為了深入敵窩救人,幾乎都是假扮奴隸混進賊窩)

Let's all be heroes!
Let's all have swords!
Let's party with giants and evil warlords
We'll prop up the good guys
And stomp out the bad
Cause it keeps us in training for the great Olympiad!
讓我們都成為英雄!!
讓我們都佩帶寶劍!!
讓我們跟巨人與邪惡的領主跳舞慶祝
我們幫助好人,踢飛壞人
因為我們要去跑奧運咩~~
