Xena...whoa being pregnant certainly hasn't slowed her down! Can she kick butt or what? But...when she was in that twilight place...I didn't go for Wringing Hands Xena at all! That was just so unXena like to me! I could have understood if she shouted out to Gabrielle or just stood there doing a slow burn but to whine like that...ugh! No Xena!!! Oh my....look what they've done to you? They've made you sappy! :(
Gabrielle...I have to say that I like that short hairdo better and better on her each time I see it. :) And she does all right for herself although she still doesn't have the heightened sense of impending danger that Xena has. It gets her in some compromising positions at times.
Mavican...can you say....SILICONE IMPLANTS???? LOL LOL LOL Ahh well they don't do a thing for me except make me shake my head and wonder how many people are out there drooling over them, LOL! Now she was a heck of a fighter but again, no Xena. I did think that little plea for help from Ares at the end was a bit out of character. BUT the one thing I loved was her voice!!! Man I wish I had a sexy voice like that! ;)
Ares...Mmmmmm what can I say? That hunkahunka manly God Of War is back! This is the Ares *I* got to know and love! THIS is the Ares that should have been present throughout the entire series but somehow got lost. I'm glad they finally found him. Its really a shame that Kevin is leaving the series. I must admit...I like the long hair better but this short haired GOW was VERRRRRYYYY SEEEXXXXYYY!!! Oh yeah!
Misc. observations...
Morphing is painful. LOL The sequences where Gab and Xena morphed into each other reminded me of...hmmm...what was that movie....Werewolf of London? LOL
Ares increased powers...I thought that Ares could only make that vortex thingie when he combined his powers with another god. I'm remembering the time he and Calli sent Hercules in to meet The Sovereign. Oh well maybe I missed something.
Clinging vines....Holy Tarzan Batman....those vines were long! And how about the way they just pretty much wrapped themselves around people's necks...squeezed them pretty good too! LOL
Smoke signals...So what was that all about anyway? From the look on Xena's face that smoke must have smelled pretty bad. LOL
And where was Demeter? I mean it WAS her temple that got destroyed by Mavican wasnt' it? ;)
Overall...yeah I liked it...it wasn't the best ep I've seen but it wasn't the worst and it certainly....IMHO....was much better than almost ALL of Season 4!
