List of Xena episodes

Ares has brought charges against Xena, before the Furies. The Furies agree to punish her with both persecution and madness. Her crime: failure to avenge the death of her father.

Notes

  • The Furies are an exotic bunch of sexed-up dancers. Alecto in particular has a rather New Wave 80s haircut and makeup.
  • When Xena first loses her reason in the midst of a battle with some marauders, she goes all Three Stooges with her fighting style. At the end she hilariously sniffs her armpit and says "I love the smell of warrior sweat in the morning."
  • Xena leaps backwards onto Argo: "Alley-oop, Argo! Hey, I like this. I can see where I've been!"
  • When Gabrielle reminds her to "put the pinch" on one of the marauders to get info, she says, "I've cut off the flow of blood to your brain and other pertinent body parts. So tell me, how old were you when you lost your virginity?"
  • Naked Xena stands firm in her insanity.

Disclaimer

Xena's sanity was not harmed during the production of this motion picture. The furies, however, will be opening their own lap dancing variety show off-off-off Broadway soon.
