List of Xena episodes

Notes

  • Xena's first fight of the episode is conducted with a pot and frying pan, echoing Xena-style comedic scenes from many films with women fighting.
  • Classic comic moment when Gabrielle, rather than being grateful to X for saving her, is upset that X ruined their only frying pan by using it as a weapon.
  • Self-mockery on the show when Xena employs her special pinch: "You have thirty seconds..." Yeah, yeah, he knows; he's heard all about it; what does she want to know.
  • Goddess-worship! The next scene ("Finding Your Way") starts with Gabrielle making an offering to a goddess, possibly Demeter? Some hearth or agricultural goddess.
  • G, still playing up the traditional female-male dynamic, nags Xena for not getting directions.
