Why is William Shatner making a documentary about ... Xena?

Star Trek's William Shatner is slowly changing from a starship captain
into the captain of documentaries. He brought us The Captains (about all
six Star Trek, er, captains), and then Get a Life (about the Trek fans).
After setting his lofty sights on Trek, the Shat is now planning to do a
documentary about a certain warrior princess.
In an interview with Mania=A0 , the once and future captain of the
U.S.S. Enterprise, James Tiberius Kirk=E2=80"William Shatner
himself=E2=80"has revealed that he's now looking to make a documentary
about our favorite kick-ass warrior princess ever, Xena (Lucy Lawless),
and about the fans who attend these conventions.
(For our younger readers here, Xena: Warrior Princess was a spinoff of
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and ran on TV between 1995 and 2001.
During its six years on the air it gathered a very strong following,
principally among female viewers.)
But why is he? This is what The Shat said:
I am a news-oholic. I love watching the news. I love watching the
stories. I love the human history that is exposed on CNN, CSPAN, and all
that type of thing. I love the humanity behind what is going on and the
discovery of it. I love the concept of making documentaries, but what
would I make a documentary of that people were going to buy? So, faced
with that, in the market place and the curiosity, I was able to combine
the first half and make a documentary about Star Trek. Now, they see I
can make a film. My ideas are being met with more approvals. I've got a
couple of docs in the pipeline. For example, I went to a Xena
Convention. Who goes to a Xena Convention? People in need. People who
are so in need that they cling to each other because of the mutuality of
what they are. It is a love fest. It is an embracing of like-minded
people. That's what I discovered. I am editing it right now and it is a
fascinating documentary.
Right. Please excuse us now while we go dust off our chakram for, you
know, the next Xena convention.
So are you guys excited about Bill Shatner doing a documentary about
Xena and her fans?

Tim Allen already said it in Galaxy Quest when a fan ask about a code he
used to open something : Get a Life.
Startrek and Xena have a cult status and still have conventions for the
die-hards.
I think that William hopes to open the eyes of those " idiots or super
fans" that there is more in life and it's just entertainment.
It's time for the Xena cult to "Get a Life".

Because he's getting old and senile - he's forgetting which shows he used
to be on. ;-)

Why not? XWP was a great show. It should never be forgotten. The
conventions are STILL going on. There should have been a Xena movie.

There will be a Xena movie. It will just be cast totally differently, and
Lucy and Renee will have 2 second cameos.
