Mine too. I particularly loved the irony of that guy waiting for "a hero to come" and not realizing that Xena was it. Yet, there she is, doing her thing at the literal "drop of a hat." It's also the first time I recall them using a freeze frame shot, which they did at the end. All in all, I thought it was one of the tightest, best performed eps of all. For once everything seemed to have a plan, even though we and the characters weren't sure what it was. - -- Ife ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

Miller" Subject: Re: [chakram-refugees] Xena cartoon references Thanks to a friend who sends me his cartoon fanzines (Yes, on paper. Well, he's old. :~) I have a detailed Oblongs episode guide. The Velva story is the 5th episode and is titled "Heroine Addict." (Shown 4/29/01) Episode 9 (which was never shown on the WB) may have a similar theme. It is titled "Pickles' Little Amazons." The synopsis of the episode was unavailable. It's been soo loong, I include most of Meredith's post below, so you know what the heck I'm talking about!
