The Good; Gabby and Xena walking into the tavern and not having any problem finding a table is a hoot. The Marcus/Xena romance is fun as is the Gabby and the Prince double act. Xena is very credible relying on her prior bad reputation, blaming Draco for spreading rumours about her and that she took him on because he threatened her mother.
The Bad; nothing much, just meanders along a bit. The show is always more fun when Xena and Gabby are together.
Best lines-(Gabby looks outraged when the prince makes an 'offer')-Xena; "Not THAT kind of offer Gabrielle".
Xena cliches; firebreathing again and a hot tub!
The pinch; 2 Village threatened by warlord; 2 Xena wounded; 1 Xena doppelganger; 1 Traitorous aide; 1 Fire-breathing; 2, Hot tub; 2 (counting the one in Hercules she used to seduce Iolaus).
Notches on the headpost; not yet but Xena and Marcus get all kissy,
Calling Captain Subtext; Xena-"I'm getting in, getting the girl and getting out" (well, what we all aspire to).
Twisted history;?
Bodycount; 2 more for Xena, her slitting Mussentias' throat with the Chakran is surprisingly bloody.
Xena; 16
Notes; the first time we see that Argo is not just your average horse, able to follow Xena's commands with incredible intelligence. The horned hat sentry at the arsenal now reminds me of the famous rioter from the storming of the capitol. Like Draco, Marcus tried to give up the warlord life but there was no going back for him (maybe if he'd had a Gabby to aid him?). Gabby quotes Cool Hand Luke. I'd forgotten that Gabby never actually meets Marcus? We have the Xena dirge at Marcus' funeral for the first time.
6/10.
