In reply to those posts that talk about gender problems:

I have no issue with the gender by itself. I have an issue with Xena-ing the role. I recall reading (in different places, too) that the character showed good fighting skills at an early age, and because of that was appointed to be one of the King's guards. Moreover, she's supposed to fall in love with an Elven Lord (guess who

). I think this will be just as bad as the Xenarwen of LOTR (minor character, sure, but does enough damage).
