"This is my 2nd favorite season of the six; I couldn't love this show more...Xena (Lucy Lawless) and Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) completely outdo themselves this season; Everything is an emotional rollercoaster, the episodes are surging with tearjerking revelations, rolling on the floor humor, illuminating the bonds of love and the power of brutal consequences, the triumpths of conquest, the soul-grinding pain of loss and betrayl, the hope to overcome...You WILL NOT be disappointed! Not a chance!! 3rd SEASON HIGHLIGHTS:
The Furies
Ares enlists the aid of the Furies, who declare that the Warrior Princess has committed a terrible crime. Gabrielle investigates, and discovers that Xena had failed to avenge the murder of her father. That's news to Xena: she didn't know that her father had been murdered, much less the identity of the killer.Been There, Done That
Xena realizes her day is repeating itself so she can break a cycle of death that hinges on two lovers' warring families.Gabrielle's Hope
Gabrielle and Xena learn about the upcoming birth of evil Dahak's "daughter of darkness" which hits VERY close to home.The Debt, Part I: Betrayal
As Xena and Gabrielle travel toward the Eastern kingdom of Chin, Xena recalls a kidnapping episode from her dark past involving two rival Chin clans. The Debt, Part II
Flashbacks recall Xena's transformaton from evil to good. But in the present, the Green Dragon has captured Xena thanks to an unlikely betrayer.The Bitter Suite
Xena and Gabrielle are bound by hatred in a dreamworld, where they must sing to be understood. Fans still go crazy for this episode...One Against an Army
Xena must hold off an entire Persian army single-handed-and also tend to Gabrielle, who's been struck by a poison arrow. A fine tearjerker! Forget Me Not
Gabrielle decides to lose her painful memories in the river of dreams but Joxer doesn't want her to do so because he thinks she will forget about him. (A clip show.)Sacrifice (part II)
Evil Hope takes the form of her mother and joins forces with Ares to create a race of superbeings; Xena is forced to team up with Callisto (the beautiful Hudson Leick)"
Great Season

"Firstly, I agree with Viewer from Amphipolis that "A Day in the Life" was hilarious, but it was in SEASON TWO. Season three saw much depth added to both the plot lines and the characters. It started out with "The Furies," which would forever leave viewers guessing as to Xena's paternity, and also brought a lot of variety, from comedy, to drama, to the show's first musical episode, "The Bitter Suite," in which we got to hear Lucy Lawless, the dearly departed Kevin Smith, and several other cast members sing, and watched Xena and Gabrielle finally "come home" after the rift that almost destroyed a friendship. "The Bitter Suite" was quickly followed up by "One Against an Army," which brought one of the most kick-ass fight scenes ever, and established an eternal bond between Xena and Gabrielle. OAAA is one of the most-loved episodes of all by many Xena fans. The season ends on a highly dramatic note, with the two part finale, "Sacrifice."Season 3 is not to be missed for any Xena fan."
Xena Done Right!

"I own XWP Years 1 and 2, and always felt a bit disappointed with the picture quality, sound, etc. But...simply put, Year 3, in terms of quality of each disc, content and "extras" is truly superb. This is XWP done right!!Numerous reviews here have detailed the contents, etc., so I won't belabor the point. Of note, two things I found particularly interesting in the interviews and commentaries were the degree to which story lines were debated amongst writers, producers, actors...and in some cases, the network. Interestingly, the directors and writers (of which there were several over the years) let Hudson Leick pretty much do her own interpretation of "Callisto" in that she clearly was more familiar with the character than the rotational pool of people working on individual episodes. She added and deleted dialogue...and developed several mannerisms of her own in fleshing out the evil "Callisto" character. Her excellent performaces, during several episodes, are featured during many discussions...as is the late Kevin Smith's similarly delightful performances as Ares, God of War.Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor let several of the series regulars (cast and crew) have the majority of the "on-air" time in terms of commentaries, etc. A magnaminous gesture, and the larger pool of talent involved makes this year particularly rewarding and informative, and numerous interviewees explore in considerable detail the evolving relationship between Xena and Gabrielle.Also, there are several references to locations and personnel (actors, costumers, etc.) that had significant impact on the planning and filming of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings" trilogy; a particularly good discussion of XWP's impact on the New Zealand film industry and LOR is contained in the interviews conducted on "The Debt" episode.Bottom Line: A top drawer production all the way around...and Anchor Bay and all the personnel involved in Year 3 are to be commended. This is certainly a MUST BUY for any XWP enthusiast!"
