So, I guess you really do wanna hear what I have to say. Hmm... never would have thought it. Well, here's my take on all the Xena episodes. But be prepared sometimes it ain't pretty... sometimes it gets down right ugly...like that dress you had to wear to your cousin's wedding...feel free to disagree with me if you want. I won't hold it against you. Well, not for long.

9-30-96
Orphan of War
Xena has a son. I don't know about you...but how this woman found the time to battle with the Centaurs and have a child is beyond me.

10-7-96
Remember Nothing
It's a Wonderful Life...sort of. Xena has her beloved Lyceus back, but is she willing to scarifice Gabrielle for him...hmmm...what would you do? Can't make fun of this one one because my friend, Bliss, would kill me...it's her favorite. And if you want to know why it's her favorite...well, I can give you her email address and you can ask her yourself....

10-14-96
Giant Killer
David vs Goliath...where's Don King when you need him? I think we all know how this ends.

10-12-96
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Girls just wanna suck blood...Xena must save Gabrielle from turning into a blood-sucking bacchae..but it could be worse...she could turn into a blood-sucking lawyer. Just between you and me I think Xena enjoyed that last bite just a little too much.

10-27-96
Return Of Callisto
What can I say...I LOVE THIS EPISODE. The Bitch is back and she's just a little more psychotic than before. So many things happen in this one it's hard to know where to begin...Callisto escapes prison...Gabrielle gets married and Xena tries to keep it all together. Love, death, revenge and death....it's GREAT.

11-4-96
Warrior...Princess...Tramp
Xena, Meg and Diana...three women...three different lives...one face. Yep, sounds interesting to me. All I have to say is...LUCY LAWLESS IS AN ACTING GOD!!!

11-11-96
Intimate Strangers
You can't keep a dead woman down. Death has done nothing to improve Callisto's demeanor...but when you're a homicidal killer...nothing helps. Xena and Callisto switch bodies and Callisto...I mean Xena...must stop Xena...I mean Callisto from causing more chaos.

11-18-96
Ten Little Warlords
Xena...still in Callisto's body...must help Ares reclaim his godhood and her body. Phallic Symbol Alert...why is it that all of Ares's power is housed in a long, big, shiny sword??? HMMM...makes you wonder.

12-9-96
A Solstice Carol
T'was the night before Solstice and not a creature was stirring, not even a Centaur, but then again, do Centaurs stir? Anyway, Xena and Gabrielle teach a mean king the meaning of the season.

1-3-97
The Xena Scrolls
The Best Episode ever (ah...even better than Remember Nothing...BLISS). Well, let's just say I have a soft spot in my heart for this one...gotta love Mel and Janice. It's 1940...Maceadonia. An archeologist, who looks amazingly like Gabrielle, and an anicent syntax expert, who looks amazingly like Xena, must stop Ares from causing havoc in the modern world.

1-20-97
Here She Comes...Miss Amphipholis
Xena...a beauty contestant??? Well, anything to defeat evil I guess. But hey the life of a heroine is always a drag.

1-27-97
Destiny
Some people are destined to be heros, some are destined for greatness, and some are destined for both. Xena flashes back to a time when she was still awaiting salvation and a time when she knew a guy named Ceasar...Julius Ceasar. Lesson to be learned: Never Trust a guy in a Roman Uniform...no matter how good he looks.

2-3-97
The Quest
"Autolycus...your mission, should you choose to accept it, steal Xena's body back from the Amazons and find the Ambrosia...this scroll will spontaneously combust in a 1/2 candlemark." Yep...and for all you non-believers in Subtext...I don't know about you, but I would never come back from the dead for my best friend, let alone kiss her on the lips. Psycho Alert...Velasca!!!

2-10-97
A Necessary Evil
What do you do when the God Of Chaos wants you dead? Well, call on your worst enemy of course. Velasca becomes a God and Callisto is released from her not-so-eternal prison. Something tells me that this wasn't such a good idea. Favorite Moment...Truth or Dare...how would you like to play with Callisto...I thought so.

2-17-97
A Day in the Life
All your questions are answered...what gets Xena's juices going, what do our heros eat for breakfast, and more importantly, what happens when nature calls. Hmmm...maybe this is more information then we all needed to know. Loved this episode!!!! But how can you not love an episode where giants run amuck and scrolls are used instead of leaves.

2-24-97
For Him the Bell Tolls
Joxer episode...it had to happen sooner or later (although most Xenites wish it was later). Do I really need to say anymore??? I liked it enough to say that I liked it a little.

4-7-97
The Execution
Nothing worse than being executed...especially when you can't remember whether you committed the crime or not. I hate it when that happens. Meleagar is put on trial for murder and Gabrielle tries everything to save him from the other end of a noose.

4-14-97
Blind Faith
Xena loses her vision and must save Gabrielle from a very unpleasant death. If it's not one thing, it's another. Watch out for Gabrielle's continuted lack of luck with men. The girl is a funeral home's dream come true.

4-21-97
Ulysses
Well...he's a cute guy with a nice ship, but he won't be able to win Xena's heart...or will he? I did get sea sick while watching this episode...oddly enough I reached for my sea-sickness bag around the time Ulysses and Xena kissed. Well, at least we know that Gabrielle is part of Xena's heart. And that I will never, ever take Gabrielle on a cruise.

4-28-97
The Price
I Really Loved thie Episode!!! Action, drama, the evil Xena back form the land of the subconscious...and hey we even got a little bit of subtext thrown in for good measure. The Horde attack a defenseless fort and Xena reverts back to her old, warrior ways in an attempt to save everyone. Favorite Moment...do we have to ask..."You don't know how much I love...that."

5-5-97
The Lost Mariner
You would think that Gabrielle's experience on Ulysses's ship would have led to her staying clear of large, rocking, water-vehicles forever, but nope...here she is back on a boat with a bunch of cursed shipmates. Well, plot's like this...after their boat crashes, Xena and Gabrielle are separated. Gabby unknowingly climbs abroad a cursed ship and Xena follows suit. What a friend!!!!

5-12-97
Comedy of Eros
When Cupid's arrows fly, everyone falls in love, but hey this is a bad thing because Xena falls for Draco, Draco falls for Gabrielle, but even worse Gabrielle falls for Joxer. I'm all for love, but this is taking things a bit too far. Warning...if you watch this episode beware...the Joxer the Mighty song will probably be stuck in your head for days.
