Xena: Season 1, Episode 12: "Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts"

"Do you want to go back for the horse? It’s bound to be a collectors’ item.” - Gabrielle.

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 said item and [END SPOILER] after. Please don't read the review, unless you've seen the episode under discussion or don't care if I spoil it.

EXTRAS:

1) Perdicus: “I’m sorry; no one sees them without permission. It’s against regulations.” X: “Well, that’s never bothered me before.”

2) X: “He’s dead.” – Love the way she says this. I know what she means just from the inflection.

3) G: “Go home, before something happens to you.” P: “I’m sorry, Gabrielle, but you can’t tell me what to do anymore.” – Snap!

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.
