In my opinion, Najara is one of Xena's best antagonists. She is obsessed with Gabrielle, she is a skilled warrior, but what makes her dangerous is being a wolf in sheep's clothing, with a messiah complex. Second, it attributes everything that makes their voices. I am not a psychiatrist, but I dare say that she is schizophrenic. So, in addition to being a religious fanatic, she is an obsessional madwoman. That is, twice the problem. And only on the outbreak to endure so much blow, especially from Xena. I just think that they will have explored this complex and faceted antagonist in the plot of the season.
While not immortal, I do believe that she spoke to some higher power and that she was not a normal human, not a normal mortal. The Jin did show her what happened to Xena and Gabriel later on.
@@TheKonnoisseur11 I’m afraid to admit that I feel like Callisto was sorta the most human among all the villains but my god Hudson played Callisto so good she’s a great actress
OMG!!!! OMG!!!!!! After watching this show all these years and rewatching all the Najara clips that were posted last month and now recently, I JUST REALIZED NAJARA IS THE COLD CASE LADY!!!!
I do not think any of them compare to Alti. Her Amazonian combat skills plus the things she could do in a magic form where she inflicted damage is incomparable to me.
Xena: Only now she’s (Najara) even more dangerous. Gabrielle: How is that? Xena: Because SHE’S WON YOU OVER! ... yep! That’s my personal life right there!
vengeance.redemption Gabriella isn’t listening to xena when she tell her not yo truth Najar why she is still the same person back then and even now fake ones be sometimes I don’t get gabby
I hated the character arc they wrote for Gabrielle in season 4. They dumbed her down and made her incredibly naive and stupid. You’d think after 4 years of travel with Xena she’d learn how to read people better. The peacenik thing never worked. The whole reason she followed Xena was to become a poet warrior.
I loved how Najara came along & complicated everything. And how she was also nearly equal in skill to Xena so that made Xena have to employ other ways of outing Najara for who she was and to protect Gabrielle.
4:24 Who could forget that look on *Xena's face?* Among many, I even remember the time she made that face using *Gabrielle's body* against *Velasca.* That *dark* part of her comes out, enjoying the heat of battle going on even more.
She was being watched over. But if you know what Jinn are then you could also understand she could’ve been misled. Jinn are ancient creatures known to shapeshift and change form but they are also mischievous. She was basically a vessel/ puppett- but she did have purpose until her faith was muddled... revenge
When I first saw this episode, I was convinced that Najara had changed 😳 and that Xena was been paranoid and jealous about the relationship between them. BOY! Xena proved me wrong her.
The writers threw her character under the bus and just made her "crazy" to vindicate Xena and threw away a really intriguing character in my opinion. I believe the Djinn really spoke to her and the only way i can justify her behaviour in this episode is she had been abandoned by the Djinn and that had unsettled her. Xena was extremely hypocritical calling her mad too when she was pretty much a borderline psychopath when she was the Destroyer Of Nations.
When I watched it for the first time I just knew she was lying and was manipulative and cunning. I 100% was with Xena because I’d do the same thing to protect Gabrielle at any cost
It's like the dialogue writers and the fight choreography teams are from different planets. One is trying to be serious the other just wants to go full on slapstick.
Gabriella should really listen to xena she own what she talk about ok don’t listen found out the hard way Najara hasn’t change not one bit I’m with xena with one
xxlCortez yeah but the first and second time xena seen right thought Najar that she is still the same person before and even now but gabby isn’t seen it she putting on this fake smile
@@isaacortiz4617 crazy vs crazy yea they wouldn’t get along Callisto is cynical of religion and once said “love is a trick the gods play to get us to reproduce” 😅
I loved Callisto despite everything but Najara was such an annoying person I never liked her in my opinion I was like Xena’s first impression of Najara I didn’t trust her something was way off from the get go
Even ignoring the fact Xena was killed off in the finale it would never work. too much time has passed and while I am not implying either of them look bad or are out of shape, Lucy Lawless and Rene O'Connor are both in their 50's, they are too old to pull off a role with that kind of physicallity anymore. If they ever do Xena again it will be a reboot with new actors, and not saying they should but even Lucy Lawless has acknowledged if it ever came back that is how they would have to do it.
@@dantheman8103 Sorry Lucy & Renee are ONLY in their 50's, that is not old. Why is it OK for Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Harrison Ford which are all in their 70's to return to their action roles? That seems very sexist to me. A revival wit original cats is still possible if the people at NBC wouldn't be so crazy to think the main cast are too old. That's just a weak excuse from NBC. Lucy Lawless has said herself in interviews she would love to come back one last time and fix the ending of the series and hand the torch over. Whether that be a movie or a limited series on streaming, who knows? But it is possible!
I always felt the character of Najara was ultimately a missed opportunity due to the writing staff opting to portray her as a religious "fanatic". The idea of another skilled warrior with her own unique code and who had an attraction for Gabrielle was such a cool concept and its a shame they just finished up making her "crazy". I think the Najara episodes also show what a hypocrite Xena could be at times especially in the first story she appeared in. To condemn Najara's methods of trial and chance of repentance for those she captured countered with Xena's often judge and jury behaviour at times on the battlefield was a little rich. Also Xena herself was pretty much on the verge of being psychotic in her days as the Destroyer of Nations. Another reason i loved Najara was because she was played by the fantastic Kathryn Morris who added a real dimension to the character. Also a challenging one whose comments such as hurting Gabrielle being Xena's job were quite an uncomfortable truth at times. It's a shame they left her in a coma at the end of her second story with no resolution.
How do you know it didn't hurt her Michael? Xena was just a flesh and blood human being like any other flesh and blood human being. The only difference is she had been in so many battles and wars that I'm sure she was used to deep cuts and wounds but that doesn't mean they didn't hurt.
Wish they revealed who the Djinn were. Still thinking they would have gone with the easy solution of being Aries in disguise. They couldn’t have been in her head if she knew about Xena foreseeing her own death.
The Djinn only existed in her mind, this episode confirms the theory that Najara was schizophrenic. Perhaps they did exist, but they drove her to inanity. Maybe she couldn't tell the difference between them and her own thoughts.
@@rainbowrabbit Like I said, maybe its a combination of both. Maybe she wants to hear them again so badly she creates them in her own mind. Maybe she has become so dependent on them that she can no longer tell the difference between right and wrong on her own.
Najara was like xena's evil double lol or evil side, which shows how xena has evolved into a better person, a better version of herself through the show, now a days this could be on, but too many crystal people would complain about the violence much like they do about the walking dead and I'm sitting watching my favorite show the walking dead like if you don't like it dont watch too much violence for you dont watch and that's it, for me its ok.
When Najara scratched Xena's face using her nails we saw much blood then she washed her face with Xena's blood but when Xena punched Najara plus headbutted too hard three times no blood on Najara's face was seen. She broke Najara's nose and frontal teeth. No blood either when she stabbed Najara finally.
3:07 Xena's Knee-Tree Combo. I forgot how fun the fight scenes were.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I never saw this until now, and i cant lololol 🤣
One of the most unnerving enemies. She really got on my nerves. Because she behaved like toxic people who feed on other people's insecurities
She was exactly that
In Crusader she was far better. Here she's just nuts and ill willed.
@@xxlCortez After she wasn't a Crusader anymore, she lost herself and her will to think. It's sad honestly
You took the words right out of my mouth👌
@@xxlCortezyou could see in Crusader she already had them tendencies to manipulation and conniving behaviours
Lol that Liu Kang knee bicycle kick
I love fact Xena knee up Najara while sliding up the trees so cool
That was hilarious 🤣
Black Dynamite and Liu Kang would have been proud.
I thought it was quintessential 90s cheesey lol
Marcus Rosales And were here for it lol
@@shanoske2770 True that. Part if what I miss about the 90s tbh.

Who misses Xena🥺
I miss her like crazy!
WE ALL DO!!!!!
Anytime I wanna see her I just watch it on the Syfy app free.
We all do otherwise we wouldn’t be here and subscribed to the channel every time there’s a new uploaded video clip lol
I do
I swear, Xena fights the hardest when it comes to Gabrielle 💯🙌🏼
OMG!!!! OMG!!!!!! After watching this show all these years and rewatching all the Najara clips that were posted last month and now recently, I JUST REALIZED NAJARA IS THE COLD CASE LADY!!!!
The flashbacks in Cold case are the jin talking to Lily lol
Yeah, the whole series has some easter eggs in regards of actors who become famous later on.
WHY AREN'T YOU PEOPLE WATCHING COLD CASE?!
yep lol thats her funny how she wasnt in much physical fights on her show
the incredible Kathryn Morris. If nobody here has seen Cold Case, go watch it because her character Lilly Rush is phenomenal.
Najara, another wonderful addition to Xena's rogues gallery. She joins Alti and Callisto as one of the toughest enemy that Xena ever faced.
Edit: word
The difference being Callisto's someone you love to hate...
Alti may be the same...
But Najara, along with Akemi, you kust HATE THEM...
@Răzvan Mihai Absolutely, those two were awesome. I consider Velasca more an enemy for Gabrielle, Hope too.
I love rogues galleries. Shows that heroes have numerous recurring enemies. I just love Xena’s :)
I do not think any of them compare to Alti. Her Amazonian combat skills plus the things she could do in a magic form where she inflicted damage is incomparable to me.
@@DyZaster. I loved Najara and they should have done more episodes with her.
Yes!!! Totally loved this fight scene. So glad it was uploaded!!

And how can Gabrielle not trust Xena after all this time together

Najara - "Guide my hand to its destiny!"
Xena- "Say Less."
I think Xena will in all the fans hearts forever.
Always went crazy watching the Amazon fights!! Climbing up trees fighting!! Unforgettable!! 💘 🐎 ⚓
Personally, I am so intrigued and even enthralled by the fight scene between Xena and her enemies like Najara! So fantastic indeed!
Love Gabrielle's haircut...
Her head bouncing while Xena was kneeing her up the tree was funny as hell 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
That and the look of surprise on her face like oh ugh oh hmm k really lol
This show was so over the too🤣
🤣🤣🤣
😂made me 💀I cant with ya'll
Still can’t get over that Najara is Det. Lily Rush from Cold Case. It’s one of my favorite shows.
Yeah that's her . Glad you notice it to.
Her performance as Lilly Rush in Cold Case is oustanding.
What’s funny is that this entire fight is over Gabrielle’s poontang.
Najara, the first Karen in existence 😂
HAHAHAHAHHA Indeed!!!
...LOL!!...
Who’s karen?
Loooooooollll
The "djinn" must be the manager that she wants to speak with.
Zealotry is even scarier than the dark side....
I don't think gravity existed on this show. Xena and Najara can fly
Najara is another part of xena just that najara listen to voices then there Callisto filled with hate an depressed

Sad they turned Najara into a simple crazy instead of the unclear case whether she really has some spirits communicating with her.
@Răzvan Mihai Well, she was unstable but in Convert she acts like the jinns are her imagination only.
She was being watched over. But if you know what Jinn are then you could also understand she could’ve been misled. Jinn are ancient creatures known to shapeshift and change form but they are also mischievous. She was basically a vessel/ puppett- but she did have purpose until her faith was muddled... revenge
see my comments above about her and how i feel the writing staff missed a great opportunity with her character.
When I first saw this episode, I was convinced that Najara had changed 😳 and that Xena was been paranoid and jealous about the relationship between them. BOY! Xena proved me wrong her.
That’s some good acting and writing! I thought the same but half way through the episode, I starting picking up what Xena was saying all along.
The writers threw her character under the bus and just made her "crazy" to vindicate Xena and threw away a really intriguing character in my opinion.

has known a 👩 like Najara.
Xena the best show ever
