My absolutely favorite show was Xena. Unfortunately, I only got to see the last season sporadically because my hometown station didn’t carry it consistently. So it has really been bothering me that I haven’t enjoyed the conclusion. And I can’t find it on dvd. Has anyone been lucky enough to find it? Also, what was the last season about? Did Xena really die like I heard? What happened to Gabrielle?

From TV Tome, the synopsis of the last episode:

Since Xena must be dead to fight Yodoshi, she allows a samurai and his warriors to kill her. Gabrielle learns that she can bring Xena back to life by burning her body and putting the ashes in a magic spring before sunset on the second day. Gabrielle fights the samurai for Xena’s body. She then builds a pyre and collects Xena’s ashes.  
Meanwhile, Xena’s spirit comes to a teahouse where other spirits that are against the evil Yodoshi dwell. Eventually Xena defeats Yodoshi and releases the many souls that he has held captive. But, in order for those souls to remain at peace, Xena must stay dead. Gabrielle realizes that she must sacrifice her friend for the greater good. But as she departs, Xena’s spirit promises to be with Gabrielle always.

Season 4 was just released in June, so it’ll be a while before the last season is available.

However, the [finale](http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/releaseinfo.cfm?ReleaseID=831) was released on DVD.

I saw the conclusion and I didn’t enjoy it either.
