Xena: Season 0, Episode 02 (Hercules): "The Gauntlet"

"The Gauntlet"

BOOM.

A quick note about SPOILERS: My reviews are full of them! I'll try to note when I'm about to spoil the series by posting [SERIES SPOILER] before each item and [END SPOILER] after. Please don't read the review, unless you have seen the episode under discussion or don't care if I spoil it.

Tina Turner in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome:


Notable items that didn't make the cut: 
1) “I’m his best friend. We’re like this (crosses fingers).. Well not like that. Kinda- kinda like thi- ki –it’s platonic –it –We’re like that (claps straight hands together).” – Salmoneus to Xena about Hercules

2) “We are warriors, not barbarians.” – Xena

3) That part at the end where Spiros finds out that Xena saved his son: very touching.

4) “You killed women and children?” Interesting that Xena says this to Darphus, because she is a woman, obviously. It was just a nice juxtaposition. Then she says to him, “You’re a butcher.” Nice touch.

5) Hercules defeats Xena? Maybe for now.
[SERIES SPOILER] Knowing what I know following the end of the series, that would never happen. [END SPOILER] 
6) Believable when Xena kills Darphus. She takes quick, shallow breaths. I believe she came very close to getting killed... though we all know it was never that close.
