After destroying the world he created in the last season of Xena (most of the gods, the Amazons, the centaurs), Tapert is now going in a different direction, to a sort of low-budget LOTR. No one would call the fight scenes in Xena stark realism, but in this series we get a sorceress in a long flowing dress and an untrained farm boy with a magic sword wiping out dozens of soldiers. It's sword and sorcery without any grit. The backgrounds are so dark they are almost b&w. There is a lot of comic book style CGI, with dialogue to match. Most important, the pretty boy and pretty girl leads have about a quarter the presence of Lawless and O'Connor. These two have as much charisma as an average one-episode guest on Xena/Herc. I'll keep watching but just too see if they do anything unexpected. Boeotian **************Plan your next getaway with AOL Travel. Check out Today's Hot 5 Travel Deals!
