A myth is as good as a mile: "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" pioneered the willy-nilly blending of mythologies from all over in the service of campy, action-fantasy entertainment, but its sister series, "Xena: Warrior Princess" (10 p.m. Sunday, WFTC, Ch. 29), took the formula to extremes, bending gender, ethnicity, historical eras and couture. One week the show might be standard sword-and-stunt fare, the next week a mock film noir, the next a rock musical. This Sunday's hour, the second half of the series' finale, is more the former. Xena and gal-pal Gabrielle are up against the evil Yodoshi and an army of samurai.
