STEVE SEARS explains genesis of the phrase "The Blue Scrolls":
In an online interview Steven Sears gave in 2005 he explains how he chose the description--
From total apathy: A few questions on 'Between The Lines': The Blue Scroll
quoted in the beginning of the episode is credited to an anonymous author. Were
you trying to suggest that other people besides Gabrielle wrote about Xena's
adventures? Also, and I'm not trying to be mean here, why the color-coded
scrolls?
I get this question a lot. Its really quite simple. It has nothing to do with
actual color. It has to do with content. In our Xenaverse, the scrolls of Xena
were found in Bulgaria and are currently being translated (hence our series) and
no one knows who originally wrote them (well, we do, but not in the series
universe). But this particular scroll has to do with her journeys in India and
experiences with Hinduism and other Eastern religions. In those philosophies,
the color blue is considered to be a Holy Color (look at the portrayals of
Krishna in artwork). Archeologists realized the significance of the scrolls and
attributed its special status (Eastern Holiness) in the convenient name.
Scientists do this. No one remembers that Leakey found Australopithecus
afarensis AL 288-1 in 1974, but they do remember that Leakey found the fossils
of Lucy. The name was given because of the Beatles song which was playing at the
camp. It became a convenient handle for the scientists to use to distinguish the
find from others as well as for the public to use. (and believe it or not, that
was all in my mind when I referenced it as the Blue Scroll in the script). It
had nothing to do with the color of the scroll.
