We had 5 months of pre-production and, you know, I’ve seen the girls at the gym, around the studio. They always looked so beautiful and so strong and fit but I had never seen them in costume. When we shot the first scene, when all the women were riding horses together, I was holding Patty’s shoulder, watching the monitor and I told her ‘I can’t believe we’re shooting this’. – Gal Gadot on the Amazons’s workout video.
I’d watch hours of these women training and encouraging each other

Gabrielle, while understanding Xena’s final act of redemption (staying dead at the end of the series), is heartbroken. Though she soldiers on, the pain in her heart and the empty spot in her soul plague her every day.
The gods (remaining gods? God? I don’t remember what shape the pantheon is in at the last episode) take pity on her and, as a reward for her great heroism, faith in humanity through everything she’s seen, and as an acknowledgement of Xena’s redemption, grant Gabrielle a child, born of “the merging of these two great souls”.
Gabrielle raises the child among the Amazons, who she eventually comes to lead. At an unspecified time, the amazons retreat from the world.
Gabrielle’s (spiritual?) bloodline remains royalty right up into the 1900′s. People are named after old heroes from time to time, as per usual. One of Gabrielle’s royal line is named Hippolyta, who (of course) has a daughter. Diana.
Thus, Diana is Xena and Gabrielle’s great great great (x number of greats) grandchild.
Gabby gotta have another child somewhere because Janice is a descendant. I like the idea. Was it Aphrodite that granted her a child?
