Yeah, I've always found that interesting about X&G, they could've been baptized like Eve but they don't seem interested in being part of the cult of Eli, they're more like sympathizers and respectful of their beliefs and that's kinda it.. I like that about them, they're independent

2025-05-31 19:11:34 +0000 UTC‘The Haunting Of Amphipolis’ sees Xena, Gabrielle and the newly reformed daughter of Xena, Eve, go back to Xena’s hometown after over 25 years to find that something has gone terribly wrong. Xena’s mother, Cyrene, is dead and the entire town has been wrecked and abandoned. There is a great evil that has permeated it and wreaked havoc that turned it into a hell hole of death, torture, pain, grief and just outright carnage. 'Xena: Warrior Princess’ finally gets a HORROR story. My favourite producer, Sam Raimi, who executive produces the show along with Rob Tapert, had a lot to do with this episode and you can tell because it’s his sort of episode. His creative area of expertise. Horror, just without the comedy, although there is some well-hidden dark humour in there that only an enthusiast of the original Evil Dead film series will pick up. And I am somewhat of a fan. This episode isn’t really all that inspiring or really teaches you anything of any importance whatsoever. It’s just… I love horror basically, and I was waiting for Xena to have some sort of episode where they show blood, guts and gore since it’s done every other genre known to man. If you read my writing about my favourite art/entertainment, you would know what I’m like with begging creators to incorporate versatility. It’s a big drawing card for me when it comes to art/entertainment. There’s not much else to say. There’s a lot of weirdness, disturbing and creepy crap that goes on in it that is right up my alley. It makes my TOP 10 because it’s just something that I enjoy watching and suits my passions for TV media in general. It’s my niche. There’s no moral or message of significance. Honestly, I am just a sick person who loves watching sick stuff. So there you have it. It is an acquired taste and not for the faint-hearted, so I probably wouldn’t recommend watching this one if you do not like or are not familiar with horror. It’s a great one to watch for Halloween though, which I’m sure was the intent behind creating and airing it. Oh, and Xena finally teaches Gabrielle ‘The Pinch’. One of Xena’s trademarks in her “I have many skills” repertoire. Or at least she teaches her how to take ‘The Pinch’ off. Good enough for me. Xena teaches her everything she knows in the end anyway.

2025-05-31 19:03:03 +0000 UTCPoor poor Cyrene 😢. Being haunted on Earth and spending her last moments hoping her daughter would save her. And then being tortured in hell... It's awful. I'm glad Eve got to see her though. This episode was pretty crazy huh? A full blown horror ep. Although I guess we got a bit of horror earlier with Gabrielle and Dayhawk. Speaking of, possessed little demon Imp Gabrielle crawling on the ceiling naked was kind of fire. Loved it lol. Xena wrapping her up was hilarious. I guess Xena and Gabrielle couldn't help Eve with the exorcism because she, as a messenger of Eli, is fully immersed in the religion while they are just believers. Idk
