List of Xena episodes

Homage to The Poseidon Adventure. Xena, Gabrielle, Autolycus, and others, are trapped in the hold of a sinking ship.

Notes & spoilers

Xena proves herself a skeptic once again, pooh-poohing Gabrielle's interest in the palm-reader.

Cute moment when Gabby is about to get her fortune read:

Palm reader: “You’re going on a long voyage. I see a man on

this voyage.”

X: “Let me guess-- tall, dark, and handsome, right?”

A rather good description for Xena, we all note.

Gabby gets trapped on a ship again (see The Lost Mariner) & Xena does some amazing acrobatics to get there to save her.

Xena single-mindedly tries to find Gabrielle after the ship capsizes.

Xena's skepticism comes up again later on, when she smacks a kid who is starting to pray hysterically to Poseidon.

Autolycus gives Xena a nice look of stunned/amazed/impressed when she throws a -- spear? -- into the metal rudder, as if he has never before truly understood how impressive she is.

In a quiet moment, Gabrielle reaches over and clasps Xena's hand tenderly.
