I got impatient with the god stuff on Xena and didn't really care where Dahak came from or went.

I'm thinking maybe I was seeing that too narrowly -- the military.

Heh. On a side note, it cracks me up that Lucy would be in another show with so many Greek references and that futuristic folks are running around saying, "Gods!"
