Lucy Lawless : There are a few of them . There ’s one that befall under a theater . It was just such a cool circle that they built and such a nerveless estimation . That was a really neat murder . The one that shocks me to the core is the very first instalment where a woman is waterboarded with bubbly . It ’s such a horrifying crime because I realize it really could be done . Of course , all murders could be done , but we play tight and loose with some pretty daft weapons in our show . This is something that ’s so wild and so think of that it shocked me to the core .

Lucy Lawless : I just make out giving Ebony [ Vagulans ] more to do . It ’s so fun for her . Ebony is still in the part of her career where performing is just an utter , gross , unadulterated joy . I wish to make her happy .

Lucy Lawless : No , I wish we never killed her . This is the problem . We were n’t think about the fans . We were just like , " What ’s a really strong pick for the series ? What ’s dramatically the strongest pick ? " But I repent that . And I regretted it quite soon afterwards , because we did n’t sympathise what we were doing to the fans , and now I do . Now in my line of workplace , or if I ’m directing , every individual stroke is with the consultation in mind . Not just their sort of aroused well - being , but keeping them excited and on the border of their seats is the name of the game . I just regret that we did that .

The fandom has even continued to acquire .

Lucy Lawless : Amazingly , yeah . Now when I go to conventions , the fan al-Qaida is very surprising to me . There are so many untested people , which is in all probability good , because a lot of our original fans , sadly , have pass away . I know that for a fact — at least the unity who used to come to conventionality in Los Angeles . Now it ’s like fifty - fifty adult male and women and all young — the great unwashed who were n’t even born when the show first air . So that ’s very thrilling and surprising . How can they not reboot it one daytime ? The show ’s got legs . It ’s still going .

If you had another opportunity to encounter Xena , even if it was just a cameo in a reboot , would you be interested ? Or are you done with that part of your calling ?

Lucy Lawless : I do n’t find like that , but I think they would have to have a new Xena in a way . They ’re going to have to figure out how to do that , to croak the baton . So I ’m all for that . If there was a part deserving doing , I would do it . It would have to be ripe , and it would have to do justice and [ pay ] honor to the original character , because that was one of the most terrific characters of the last hundred .

I was also a hugeParks and Recreationfan . I love Ron and Diane . Do you believe they ’re still together after all these geezerhood ?

Lucy Lawless : Yes , but they might be having a tough time through this election cycle . Ron is politically quite conservative , and I ’m not sure which mode he would be conk out . I ’m pretty indisputable Diane could not conform to him .

Lucy Lawless : Yes . I just direct a flick call Never Look Away . It ’s a objective - style celluloid . It ’s not , strictly mouth , a documentary because it ’s not news media . It ’s not the male gaze , it ’s the female regard , which is all about objective accounts and the worked up motivations of people . That ’s been very fun and terrifying and rewarding .

I find this task , and , somehow , we managed to make it happen . And a couple of years later , we were opening Sundance . We did Sundance and SXSW . I ’m here at Sundance , London next month , so I ’m in London at the moment . That ’s been the bad surprise of my lifetime . My calling ’s made a heavy left turn in a way that I just did n’t see coming , and now I ’m addict .
