I think it's due to a subtle but definite difference between English and American English. >>>>"My powers are tied to Olympus, and there is no way for me to get back there. Xena made sure of that!"..... >>>> >>>>In English English, that means 'ensured' i.e. Xena deliberately ensured that Aphrodite couldn't get back to Olympus. .... >>>>However, I *think* that in American English it means 'confirmed' i.e. >>>> Actually, your definitiion...english english...is actually how i interpreted that sentence, and i speak american english. . ...It's as though Aphrodite is saying.....

First, where did the Xena crew get it from, and second, if they wanted to referance Xena, why such an obscure one? Also, Kevin would have had NO idea that the name had been used on Xena. He wasn't in Amazon High. Because I am a scattered watcher of Andromeda, I can't catch everything they are doing. However, it seems to me that over the past few years since Andromeda started, that they have made many references to both Xena and Hercules series, by bringing character names, actors even (Michael Hurst, for example) into the series, naming planets, I suppose as whimsy and just to have fun. They're not beyond having fun with the shows that made all these characters and names famous for several years. I actually get excited when I realize what they've done, it's like answering trivia questions about Xena. As a note, some of the writers and directors, such as T.J. Scott and Emily Skopov, from Xena and Hercules have been involved with Andromeda. Have fun!
