Xena: Warrior Princess: The Reckoning (1995)
The Reckoning... Watch it!
This is an important episode as it builds upon Xena's past, deepens the bond with the Duo and introduces the Mortal Frenemy played by the late Kevin Smith (not that one) ARES. Sorry being a God of War fan I feel the urge to shout certain names.
Xena: Warrior Princess: Chariots of War (1995)
Chariots of War... SKIP IT!
There's an irritating trend in some of the episodes of the show of introducing a male character/s for one or both of the leads to pine over or for in wondering "Oh what we could have?" but aside from introducing Xena's surgical skills, and referencing the conflict in Troy this episode is pretty bare in terms of reasons to watch.
Xena: Warrior Princess: Dreamworker (1995)
Dreamworker... WATCH IT!
This episode builds on the bond between our Heroine and Companion well, Gabrielle finds her strengths in a fight, and wields the staff for the first time...
Also is a good rewatch after how the rest of the show evolves.
Xena: Warrior Princess: Cradle of Hope (1995)
Cradle of Hope... SKIP IT!
The Duo stumble upon an abandoned infant and aim to protect it until finding It's parents. Soon after the encounter a woman with a mysterious lineage joins them.
While this episode does handle an important Myth it's shoved to the background for a pretty lame story overall.
Which is a shame, I would've liked to see the King's clash with Xena be the focus and build upon her character like 'Dreamworker' did.
