Considering the guy was just plain arrogant, brash and ignorant, I very much doubt if TPTB were trying to use him to appeal to 'youth'. But it was a pleasure watching him get clobbered. ;) cr ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

Well, yes, I did think she looked cool in that dress. And I thought the guy who half-proposed to her was a Really Nice Guy. If she was ever seriously thinking of giving up her warrior ways she coulda done a lot worse than settle down with him. (But we knew she couldn't. Wouldn't. Whatever. Next week's episode callls.....) > Also, with my Subtext > Hindsight control set to maximum, Gab chatting up Xena with her story of > the trees in the forest and Xena playing it cool but really lapping it > up. You mean, Gabs: "And then do you know what happened?" Xena: "Somebody built a boat out of them?" I got a good laugh out of that. Good ol' cynical Xena. Didn't see Xena lapping it up though, more like only paying half attention. Of course my Subtext Hindsight control is permanently stuck on zero. ;) > Path not taken: Xena as one of the boys in the tavern, Xena's first hot > tub scene, the death of Marcus, the first ever funeral lament. Oops, sorry, you're right, I tend to confuse Path Not Taken with Death Mask for no discernible reason. Like almost all Xena eps, TPNT is indeed watchable. Just that, compared with eps I really really like, they tend to fade into the background. Lemme see, are there any eps in Season 1 and 2 that really rocked me? Umm, season 1 - no. I mean, really no. There are eps I like, even a couple of eps I think are really good - Royal Couple of Thieves is one of the best comedies in the whole series, IMO, and I like Fistful of Dinars, partly because Jeremy Roberts is so good as the flaky Thersites.... but there isn't one ep that makes me sit back afterwards lost for words. Season 2 - just a couple of eps in that class. Return of Callisto is getting there, so is Intimate Stranger and Ten Little Warlords. And Destiny and A Necessary Evil are right up there in the breathtaking class. > I hope it's a very long time before my tired old brain forgets any of > it.

Incidentally, it made such a refreshing change, after viewing numerous DVD movie commentaries all of which invariably say only Nice Things about the movie in question, to see an interview where all concerned were derogatory about the ep. :) cr ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.

I am sure the spelling is wrong, but the nameof the donkey in Winnie the Pooh. > Incidentally, it made such a refreshing change, after viewing numerous DVD > movie commentaries all of which invariably say only Nice Things about the > movie in question, to see an interview where all concerned were derogatory > about the ep. :) Actually I don't think there is any episode that they are raving about. Seems like they are their own worst critics. Ann ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
