Adrienne Wilkinson is trying to 'spruce up' her IMDb.com page - this is big project she's working on right now, and, since the stars of Xena are just so darned cool and do a lot for us fans, here's a chance to do something to help one of them out. Adrienne (Eve/Livia) is looking for people to write comments and vote on all her projects. This is REALLY easy: Create a IMDb.com account (it's free) Go to Adrienne's page: http://imdb.com/name/nm0929330/ For any movie/game/tv ep you've seen/played, click on them. Directly under the title for any piece is a section where you can rate it - a piece needs at least five vote in order for this feature to actually show the overall rating - let's try to get Adrienne those five votes! Come on, it's EASY! And if you want to help out a little more, please join me in writing a review for anything you've seen - you can comment on individual eps of "Xena", or her "Charmed" ep, "Angel" ep, her movies, her video games - any of it! To comment on a movie or game, simply scroll all the way down to "User comments" and directly next to the header "User comments" click "(Comment on this title)" to do so. To comment on an EP of a TV show, from Adrienne's profile, under "Xena", for example, don't click on "Xena", but, rather, click on the links for one of the eps, and then you can vote and comment the same as a movie! Thanks to anyone who helps out! Come on! Adrienne is SOOOOO cool and BEYOND nice to her fans - let's do something cool for her - this is totally something helpful to her, and it takes but a second to vote on a title. :) Go Xenites! (feel free to spread the word - the more votes and comments the better!) Julie "XT" Ruffell www.bitchofrome.com "I don't do this to die.

In my humble opinion, TPTB should have left well enough alone. It was on of the lamest productions I have seen in a while. I would have much rather remembered Duncan walking off into the mist as in the final episode of the series. This brings me to my real point when and if a Xena movie does come to pass .. I can only hope that the characters that we have come to love of the years are not somehow lessen by an inferior production.

"I enjoyed the U.S. Open but I'm not nearly as passionate about tennis (well, any sport really) as I am about this show.... I know what you're thinking. You're thinking: Stop your yappin', Kara, and get to recappin'. Well, here I go. I enjoyed Evelyn the client turning into Evelyn the assassin. And what do you know? She's got some history with Michael. We don't see enough of Lucy Lawless in general (I can't wait for her return on /Battlestar Galactica/ next year). It was nice, if not a little strange, to see her mix it up and play a different type of character even though her facade didn't remain in place for long. But let me back up. Michael is pulled into his latest case because he needs his friend Lucy, whom he trained in the fine art of spying, to set him up with a fake identity, or a "false flag," after an earlier plan falls through. Even though he's not supposed to leave Miami, Michael wants to travel to D.C. to confront Cowan. Lucy begrudgingly agrees to do it, but only if he'll help out with a case. Meet Evelyn, who claims her husband is abusive and has kidnapped their son. That tugs at Michael's heartstrings and he takes the case. The problem is that he also drops his guard and gets a little too close to Evelyn. She even kisses him when she thinks they've found her son. Fi, picking up on Michael's shiftiness, excuses herself from the case --- but not for long. Michael finds Doug's hideout. Once there, Evelyn turns on him (who's got a false flag now?) and Michael barricades himself and Doug inside the small house. Now, I usually don't have story problems with this show but I have to mention something here. I had a slight problem with suspension of disbelief during this particular scene. Why didn't Evelyn rush the house and take Michael out with hand-to-hand combat? She's got the upper hand here because she's got the only working gun. That being said, it was cool when Michael turned that propane container into an exploding bomb. It's always a pleasure to watch him work. With Doug as Michael's new client, we get a new story. It turns out Doug is a controller at a company using fronts. The FBI threatens Doug into turning state's evidence but not before Doug's wife dies in a mysterious accident. Doug wants to do what's right but he's afraid for his son's life. Sam, Fi and Michael decide to turn Doug over to the state attorney's office the next day. Evelyn's there waiting, but Michael discovers her just as she's about to take the shot. Michael wants to take Evelyn in but she throws herself off the building before he can. I have to say, that was a spectacular way to go. I liked seeing Evelyn try to talk Michael out of taking her in. It was surprising but not unexpected when she decided to kill herself instead of being turned over to the authorities. Lucy Lawless loves playing complex characters. And I love her for it. Sorry, I'll stop the lovefest now." ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
