Well, Ive just finished watching the Coffee Talk #6 DVD that I bought at the Burbank 08 con, and here are a few initial impressions. Mind you, Ive only watched it once, and since my short term memory is on holiday, Ill need to watch it again to post further comments.
Anyhoo.

Wow, that was lots of fun to type.
Army Wives is mentioned, and Lucy says something to the effect that Renee will be playing a big lezzy. And Renee says that she isnt supposed to give that away, but that her character is a lady who befriends one of the army wives, and proceeds to roll her eyes. Hhhhmmm. Bring it on! And then she says its something shes never played before. Double hhhmmmm.
They mentioned the writers strike, and Lucy was blown away that the only fans supporting the writers on strike were fans of a show thats been off the air for years, meaning Xena. They mentioned MaryDs site, and how you can go there to help donate to the cause. That was pretty cool. I mean, Lucy was really amazed and thought that was unbelievable. She loved it.
I thought it was kind of interesting that when they were discussing the conditions they endured during the filming of Xena, Lucy said she would not allow herself to be in those types of conditions again if she were asked to do so. She said that she and Renee both put up with that because they didnt know any better. And Renee said that she would endure those types of conditions again if the role called for it. BUTthen Renee asked Lucy if there were ever to be a Xena movie, and it called for Xena to be crucified, would she do itand she said yes right away. What a trooper!
When Sharon asked Renee about her childhood and whether or not that has made it harder or easier to be open as a person and an actor, Renee said that within the past year, she realized that if she could own up to who she is, that she can be a better person. She had tears in her eyes and choked up a bit throughout this segment, and it was very poignant. She said that she is not usually that emotional about it, but she was then. And Lucy said that for so long, Renee was keeping a lid on everything, and now she was able to express it and let it out. And Renee said that for so long she was ashamed, so she didnt share stories with anybody, and then she realized she did not need to feel ashamed. And she said that nobody has any idea, really, what a wild life she had and the world that she was in, and that she is now writing about it and its really cool.
I think they are both pretty incredible, and theyve both got my respect.
Oh, the ending is kind of cute. Lucy takes out her video camera, and asks Renee a couple of questions, and then it goes to static. Hhmmm, a bit of dj vu, no?
The total vid last just a little over an hour. About 1:03. I have always enjoyed just watching the two of them sitting and chatting. Especially since nobody asked them if they could have a hug. Blah hah hah. Im
. But they are cute, sitting there with just there socks on.
Oh stop it! You know what I mean.
Anyhoo.

When I said I felt scared for her, I meant scared thinking about what she must have gone through as a young girl. 
And she sure had seen and experienced enough horrors of life during her travels with Xena to become an even better bard.
