I have to say that this is one of my favorite episodes. We truly do see how far Gabby has come, from the once dreamy farm-girl to the Amazon Queen leading her tribe into the thick of battle. I have to say this episode was quite breathtaking, and for it to have a MM effect to it WOW... Great camera shots and awesome lines. To Helicon and Back is an episode that keeps you on the edge of your seat with compassion and betrayal, it is a side of The Warrior Bard we had never seen up until this aired. I have watched this episode many times and will continue to. They did an outstanding job on capturing the emotional moments of battle and vengeance. Well done and great episode, it is the reason why I miss the show so much..

just awful, 16 September 2007

It has the standard Xena plot, evil warlord will stop at nothing for domination or revenge of whatever useless plot they came up with now. When faced with her troubled past, there lies potential for the Xena character, but since this show is not about drama, as about action and people want to see Xena kicking but more than regretting over what she did in the past. This episode surely delivers, but screws up on the mythology departement big time. Bellerophon as the son of Artemis? Come on, anyone with any knowledge of mythology will know that Artemis like Athena and Hestia was a virgin goddess who had no children nor any relationship of any kind. It's not that I don't like feminism or strong female characters, but this is just way over there.
