Yeah, exactly, it was deliberately put into the story by the writers. I don't know if Xena/Gabrielle was always on the agenda, or whether it got put onto the agenda as the writers because to see what the fans were seeing, but either way, in time it became apparent that the Xena/Gabrielle subtext was actually there.

Personally, I don't consider it "subtext" if there was never any intention on the part of the writers or actors to make subtext. Yeah, yeah, the author is dead, and literary criticism encourages us to unpack the text in any way we can conceivably construct and argument to support. Call me old fashions, but I care about the intent of the creator(s).

*the writers because began to see what the fans were seeing

Lol, how the fuck did I get "because" from "began"?
