So I'm watching Xena Warrior Princess this morning....

[CO Hummer]

OK, WTH!

I'm watching the epsiode this morning and it's ends at 6:45am! WTH is that. It was like a short version. Then some little filler show came on until the 7:00am show was up. I feel cheated because it's was my last episode I'll be able to watch this week.

In any case, the episode was a very light hearted one. I guess I'd consider it a relief after the tension of the Tues/Weds two part saga. In this episode Xena returned to a place where she grew up. They ran into Aries, the God of War, who had recently fallen from the heavens and became mortal. The local warlords wanted to kill him, and Xena spent. most of the episode trying to trick the warlords into believing he (Aries) wasn't there. She was successful. The irony here is that Xena is the one mortal who has the power to kill gods. But instead of using that power to kill she instead was his protector.

When you really think about it.......We have all done things we're not proud of. And when we can use that power for good, it's something special. What a great episode considering the time of year it is.

It's good to be back on the Xena routine in 2008.

Today's episode had Xena and Gabrielle delivering a helmet to the God Hermes. The helmet, when worn, will allow a person to fly.

After saving a virgin from being sacrificed by some crazy religious guys (in which Xena has to use the helmet to fly off a cliff and save the virgin), they had to fend off a warlord who found about the helmet and tried to steal it.

During the events, Xena and Gabrielle played practical jokes on each other. And the result of the joking around almost caused Gabrielle to lose the helmet. It was a close call.

While I admire the friendship between the two, I think Gabrielle is getting a little too careless and needs to focus more.

There was a short blurb about XENA watchers in the American Journal of Medicine, Feb 2006...

To sumerize the article it said that male watchers were not BREAST FED as babies...............

Today's episode started where Gabrielle had perished when she tried to save a friend. Xena was devastated and Ares, God of War, tried to take advantage of that. He managed to get Xena to agree to marry him in exchange for his services in helping get Gabrielle back from the dead. They signed a contract that could only be revoked by Ares himself. Ares then gave Gabrielle back and Xena proceeded to hide the marriage contract. However, it was uncovered by an unsuspecting scientist during the present day. Xena and Ares raced to the present day to come get the contract. During the fight for the document, Ares blew it up accidentally with one of his fire balls and now the contract is void.

Whew! Need I say more about how Gabrielle is always the source of trouble for Xena? If I didn't know that those two are so perfect for each other I'd probably suggest that Xena just move on.

More to come next week.

Much like a wife.

You'd think that warlords and evil men would learn.......

Once again, Xena was at the right place at the right time. An innocent couple was about to get married when a warload kidnapped the girl. Luckily, Xena was there for the young man who pled for Xena to help him get her back. In the process of successfully re-capturing the girl she ran into and old flame, Marcus (This was back in the days when Xena wasn't hot for Gabrielle btw). In order to get the girl back, Xena had to betray Marcus who worked for the warlord. This brought an interesting twist to the story. In the end, Marcus actually sacrificed his life to save the girl and do the right thing. It appeared that he still loved Xena. So, the victory for Xena was bittersweet.

It's really hard to start the day with a heart-wrenching episode like this.
