  • 05-04-99

    Oh looky! Takes One to Know One commentary! Huzzah!



    Quotes Worthy of Bardliness
    It was Col. Mustard, in the Conservatory with the Lead Pipe:
    "Will you can it! This is not some sort of game you know?"
    --Minya (Takes One to Know One)


    Something Only a Mother/Innkeeper Would Say:
    "Maybe she liked her pears bruised."
    "She's *your* mother."
    --Cyrene & Gabrielle (Takes One to Know One)


    It Must've Been Something in the Water:
    "So I put Joxer's gravy recipe in her water bag."
    "Ewwww"
    "That's inhuman"
    --Gabrielle & the Gang (Takes One to Know One)


    He's a Lover, Not a Fighter:
    "You may be good in bed, but you're hopeless in a fight."
    --Discord (Takes One to Know One)


    Please God, Let That Be a Petting Zoo:
    "I don't do animals."
    "That's not what I heard."
    --Discord & Minya(Takes One to Know One)


    Miscellany:

    It Happened on One of Those Zippity Doo Da Days... or was it a dark and stormy night?
    That's the phrase that just automatically popped into my head in the opening scene. Maybe it's just me.

    Hmm the Things the Ancient Greeks Came Up with That We Knew Nothing About
    The Greeks invented Ice Cream?

    I am Your Singing Telegram!
    Apparently, they also invented the murder mystery party and Parkerus Brotherus stole the idea and made Clue. I love that game and movie! Funny thing too, but before Joxer even said it was so and so in some room, etc I was thinking Clue.

    Yet Another Brilliant God
    Why didn't Discord just go after whoever did it. I'm sure she must know since she is a goddess. Of course the job sucks, you don't know what you're doing.

    Let's Get Down & Kinky
    Basic tools of the trade for S&M... er a bounty hunter. Riiiight.

    Darn, Yet Another Cool Scene Missed Cuz of Static
    First I miss the really cool leaf bow and arrow thing that Ephiny did in the Herc ep, Sky High (an actally good ep for a Herc one... must've been the Eph element) and now I missed the cool move Xena did to save her mom from Discord's bow. I got the gist but not the exact detail. Thank god for WGN and satellite. OH and I also missed some scene in another ep where Gab and Xena high tail it into the trees. Nuts to it all.

    Gab: Bard, Amazon Queen in Absentia, Peace Freak, and Psychic...
    ...Or something. When Gab tells Xena that she can't accuse Lila just because she wears lavendar... wasn't it Gab who was the one who pointed that little tid bit out?

    I Think I'm Going to Hurl
    Was it just me, or was this the reaction upon hearing about Lila's love letter? I mean that's sweet and all and Joxer's not totally a bad guy, but YIKES!

    That Crazy Country Bumpkin
    LOL at Minya. She's such a hoot with her doing those male voices and the puppetry. More like mumbling in deep voices but still funny. And the "I just saw red. Catch!" and her feeble toss of the candle and escape. Minya's just too much!

    Chippendalius Calendar Candidates
    What was up with all those Greek Chippendales? And in that fight scene with them, we really could've used Gab. Then again we could really use her long hair and the BGSB back too, if not for the sake of our stomachs seeing that green yellow thing is just ick city but also well.. no we just need the old Gab back so we don't feel ill. Maybe she's a pod person. I know this doesn't really have to do with the Chippendales but they were short and Gab has no interesting header so here we are.

    They'll Be Swinging By the Chandelier
    Oooo... good catch Minya! Surprised no one hit their head sooner on that chandelier seeing how low it is. But lol I even ducked the second pass of the chandelier towards Discord's back of the head.

    Happy Birthday to You...Oh Wait, Copyright Laws
    I didn't know the Greeks invented birthdays too! But god was that a cheesy song or what? I wonder how many takes they did to make sure ROC blew out all the candles. But ick again since they froze the frame on that hair! EGAD!! When did Tinkerbell come on Xena? There to replace Callisto? Oh wait, Callisto had good hair albeit a bit on the wild side.
