Yep. Are we talking “L-Word” Lesbo here, or hardcore Butch Lesbo?
is that Xena and her new girlfriend after she dumped Hillary?
What fan base? Maybe a few children liked the show, but most of the adult viewers probably had some sexual angle in mind.
It's not like Hollywood took over some old story or comic book. Xena and Gabrielle were created for television.
I dunno, I figure Xena’s fan base mostly already thought (or hoped) that she was a lesbian, so I don’t think it will hurt them much. She was pretty much “lesbian Hercules”, there wasn’t any other reason for the show...
“will the fan base still watch when they turn them into two hard core Hillary style lesbos?”
That is the fan base.
That’s why they are making it explicit.
Just for the record, I wanted to *bleep* both of them! :)
