There's Rizzoli & Isles. They're not wandering the earth, but they are a pair of lady friends being badasses. Other than that, yeah, sadly lacking.

[(Anonymous)]

Unfortunately Rizzoli and Isles contains Angie Harmon and I can never get past what a frigging asshat she is to enjoy the show.

[unicornherds]

That's actually all I want from life. To find a buddy and walk/travel together being badasses. I tried the solo walking and that was fun, but I really wish I could find a buddy. Then after awhile we'll pitch a show to Discovery or whatever and have our own reality show about two women walking and being badasses. Problem solved for everyone!

[(Anonymous)]

I'd be your badass travelling buddy if that didn't mean having to drop out of university. Are you willing to wait a few years?

[sootyowl]

I do love my bro shows, but there is a sore lack of sis shows. I would love to have more ladies who kick ass together on my TV. Especially in a fantasy setting.

[helenadax]

IA. I love this kind of stories. Mulder and Scully, Wes and Travis, Sam Beckett and Al Calavicci, Reese and Finch... And of course, Xena and Gabrielle. It'd be nice having a show like that one.

[(Anonymous)]

Interesting- the blonde has regular people legs.

[merkuria]

You should definitely check out Lost Girl.

[gobbledigook]

Yeah, it'd be cool. I wouldn't be so bored with bromance if they weren't always hetero dudebros. I'd like to see some friendships between gay dudes too.

[(Anonymous)]

Nikita tbh. Though right now, they're going through a rift.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed! We need more of kick ass girls doing things and being awesome friends.

[(Anonymous)]

I got into this show way too late.
I always turned the TV off when it was airing. I thought it was going to be as awful as Hercules and never gave it a chance.

Now I want more shows like this. Just a really strong friendship (and maybe more?) between two women while they have adventures.

[(Anonymous)]

agree so, so much

i'll always love xena & gabrielle <3

[meredith44]

Theoretically, Legend of the Seeker is about the male seeker. But really? It's mostly about Kahlan and Cara being badasses together.

[(Anonymous)]

Lost Girl? Scott and Bailey?

[silverau]

I agree so hard!

[cakemage]

Hell, yes.

[i_paint_the_sky]

I keep meaning to check out the DVDs of Xena and see how well/badly it has aged. Even if it doesn't still hold up that well, Xena and Gabrielle were awesome.

[(Anonymous)]

I want this too. Xena and Hercules were two shows I loved a lot growing up, but Xena was always my fav. It's a shame there hasn't been more shows with this formula, and I don't know how popular it is, but I haven't met too many people who didn't love the show.

[rivulet027]

Not exactly what you're asking for, but maybe try Lost Girl.

[(Anonymous)]

lost girl!

[(Anonymous)]

Is it weird that I think of Xena as kind of the western version of a magical girls series? Girls being friends and having adventures and being feminine not stopping them from kicking ass. Both fulfill the same wishes for me.

[(Anonymous)]

I wish I could like this show. I'd like to see more female friendship. I enjoyed Rizz. and Is. for a while, till they upped the violence and the romance-for-Rizz. angle, and I got bored.

But Xena? Sorry. Never gonna watch it. I've heard great things. I've also been hacked at by a lesbian fan of the series and that turns me off. Apparently a lot of lesbians like the show and you know what that means: if I liked it enough to get into fandom, I'd be The Baddie for liking the womance and not the sexlove. Man, I'm so over dealing with that shit in fandom. If I don't see the romance, then I must be a homophobe. And don't tell me I will see it, because I NEVER DO.

But the biggest turn off for me about this show, and the reason I never watched it when it originally aired?

So bloody fed up with women dressed like male fantasies. Give me a bloody break. I want a character, damn it, not a wet dream for some teenage boy. If they can't bother to give me a character who's allowed to wear clothes that don't always flash T&A, then I can't bother to bloody watch it.

Yes, I have anger issues related to how women are dressed / portrayed as sex objects in media, m'kay?? Do not want.

And I'm fed up with hearing how it's empowering, too. It ain't empowered me any, buddy.

[(Anonymous)]

I never watched Xena, but I wish there could be more female friendships/romances/enmities/everything too. But right now, if you want that, if you write more than one developed female character, you pretty much have to do an ensemble with lots of male characters to "balance out" those scary, alienating women. (And are you SURE you won't change one of them to a boy?)

(I'm a writer. Not that I'm fucking bitter at being made to up the presence of boys in my work so that I'm "allowed" to keep the girls, or anything.)
