Yeah, thats another thing I really thought was awesome with Joxer. No matter how much shit he got, he still stayed a true friend. Even though he knew he could never get Gabrielle's love. That it was hopeless. He was still a good friend. That is pretty awesome. So yeah, fully agreeing with you there. That's true friendship.

Yeah, I think it has to do with age. When I started to read stuff on the net, and join forums and all, there were a lot of discussions about the true love of Xena and Gabrielle. So, that got me to watch the show in a whole new light, I guess. :-)
