Xena: Warrior Princess: The Titans (1995)
Season 1, Episode 7
7/10
The Giants vs the Virgin Goddess
8 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The Good; some great interplay between Gabby and Xena and her planning is truly inspirational.

The Bad; Nothing really but it's all a little lacklustre, this, like many of the eps of the first season feels like a script for Hercules they just converted for the girls.

Best lines-Head Titan; "We obey virgin goddess".

Gabby; "You know you don't have to call me that all the time, it's kinda personal".

Xena cliches; Xena and Gabby in bondage

The pinch; 2 Village threatened by warlord; 2 Xena wounded; 1 Xena doppelganger; 1 Traitorous aide; 1 Fire-breathing; 2, Hot tub; 2, Xena in bondage 2, Gabby in bondage 2.

Notches on the headpost; no and we realise that Gabby doesn't have any whatsoever.

Calling Captain Subtext; check out the little look of jealousy Xena gives when she thinks that Gabby may have slept with the head villager?

Twisted history; the Titans were the forefathers of the gods whom they eventually overthrew, they seem much larger than the Olympians (Poseidon aside) but otherwise to lack any powers beyond their size?

Bodycount; 1 Titan, 1 bandit and his aide.

Xena; 16

Notes; Gabby is left in charge of Argo (still unnamed here) for the first time and she and Xena fall out over it "She has no respect for me". Gabby is a virgin although you wonder is that physically or in the Bill Clinton sense?

7/10.
