It’s ER meets 300! Or Grey’s Anatomy meets Gladiator! Whatever you want to call it. I personally prefer General Hospital meets Xena: Warrior Princess. Let’s do this.
First thing’s first: I read somewhere that producer Liz Friedman said “ITADITH” beholds the first official piece of lesbian subtext on Xena. I agree that there is definitely some hardcore subtext here. Then again, I wouldn’t say it’s the first. I gotta find that quote and reread, because maybe I misread. Nah mean?
Gabrielle’s death scene is mesmerizing. The intensity is... intense with Xena totally freaking out and everyone just standing around, looking on, not knowing what to do, hoping. They’re watching both the death of Gabrielle and Xena’s inconceivable collapse. Everything just feels so… so critical. And Xena starts crying while giving Gabrielle mouth-to-mouth! How fucked up is that? Jesus.
Even with the presence of so much tear-shed, I did not cry. I felt like I might, and I probably would have, had I not been holding my breath during the scene. Perhaps it’s the week I’ve had.
First of all, my coworker at my receptionist job just got fired. That makes me - at three months - the longest tenured person at my company. At three months. Three. NOT a good sign. Plus, my coworker was the best worker out of all of us. I’m suffering the possible loss of a new friend and the utter fear of now being in charge of a bunch of technical shit about which I know nothing. The whole thing has made me a bit numb and thus impervious to feelings.
