I think Hercules would actually have handled the situation much better than Xena did here.

2025-06-14 12:22:55 +0000 UTCThe simple fact is Gabrielle isn't Xena. It's totally within her character here to want to literally make Hope out of the horrible experience she's just been through (to this day I've never really forgiven the writers for what they did to her here). Xena is incredibly insensitive in this episode and seems to judge the child almost from the first minute and doesn't even seem to care what state of mind Gabrielle might be in. Who is she to automatically assume the child will be evil and demand its instant death? She's been judge, jury and executioner before for sure but here she makes a traumatic situation even worse in my opinion and I can understand Gabrielle with the emotions she must be feeling to want to protect a child she is convinced can be good. This is actually an episode I haven't rewatched much over the years because its very unpleasant to me to see Gabrielle put into this situation and it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

2025-06-13 21:01:36 +0000 UTCWell, that's a lot to happen in a day. Banshees, supernatural pregnancy, the Knights of the Pierced Heart (or something), that weird goat, the daughter of Dahak, and a blatant lie told to Xena by Gabrielle. My favorite small detail is the mention of Hercules, which is a good realistic touch; that's exactly who she would have thought of in comparison to Hope. Too bad Herc wasn't around for this; he could probably thought of an alternative to infanticide.
