Oh man what an amazing episode. It’s hard to imagine that Lucy was like 3rd or 4th pick to play xena. The journey of Xena and Gabriella relationship is truly a work of art.

We were just talking about that the other day! No one could have played those two other than them. Funny how the universe just puts us in the places we need to be. -Hunter

Such a great finale! Xena inventing c-sections, amputation, hippocratic oath..all of modern medicine lol. What can't she do?...except for survive without gabrielle. Xena is in LOVE. down bad i fear. In my opinion by the end of season one xena is in love with gabrielle and knows it. Gabrielle i think is kinda clueless at this point. I think she loves xena, but doesnt have the experience to recognize that its romantic and not purely hero worship with a side of best friends forever...at least yet. I think Xena is patiently waiting for gabrielle to put the pieces together.

Now you know why so many people were talking about this ep! Ye Gods, that scene is so powerful. Up until that point I was enjoying the series but I knew I was watching something extraordinary with that scene and the show has been an important part of my life ever since. It's doubly powerful because of just how stoic Xena has been up to that point and then to see her lose her shit completely... WOW!

Lea

... perfect, all around... this, honestly, still is one of my top episodes and definitely one of the top scenes... but there are soooooo many great scenes to come... I think I love this so much because Xena finally shows all the things she feels on the inside... for me, she can NOT lose this person who has gotten inside the wall she's erected over all the years... I figure her to be around the same age Lucy was when it started - 27... which puts her around 16 when Cortese hit her village... I've got Gab around 18 or now 19, in my head... so just imagining, at this point in the series that's all we can do though I've seen the whole series about 100 times since it went off the air... I watch it many many times a year... but imaging all the loss and the friends shes had over the years, lovers, etc... but the person she loses her shit over, is this little kid from Potadeia... its insanely good... this episode, and Lucy's acting in particular, is just flawless ... and for the time 😆- ahem hunter - the centaur wasn't bad.. you gotta remember, early 1996 here... Oops, sorry, July 29, 1996, I checked, is when it aired... still, for that time, they did pretty good... impossible for the size 🤣 I mean ephiny was huge, but not big enough for that big baby centaur 😆 but still, great... ... tash crying a little got me, though im sitting here bawling my eyes out as I always do on thst scene, over 100 times in, literally... in full... sometimes I watch till season 3 and can't go past it, so there's those times too... but, still im bawling as always... but tash crying got me too... and hunter being absolutely silent through that scene.. sooo my reaction still... very good reaction to a very good episode ... ... can't wait for your alls recap :) thank you for this... its so great to see people reacting to a tremendously underrated series... ... ps - i still am in the minority- but I don't think either is "in love" yet... still just the best of friends... absolutely their "person" and Xena shows it finally... but to me, its a Meredith and Christina thing right now... its coming soon, to more, but not there just yet... when you spend every day knowing it could be your last, and watching someone you love die or come close to it that often, it binds you... but im still in the friends only camp... alone I know 🤣 but still there...

Oh Xena 1000% is in love with Gabrielle and Gabrielle has no idea what romantic love is or feels like yet. Gabrielle completely turned Xena’s world on its head for the better. -Hunter

Lea

💯 Lucy and Renee have off the chart chemistry on screen... Rob knew what he was doing... I mean, the man is smart 😆 he married Lucy after all 😉

2 Girls 1 Episode

I say this a lot after watching this season but I’m so impressed with the way the writers just knew they had to go the opposite direction with both of their reactions to the other dying. Gabrielle, who is usually so talkative and cheerful, was completely silent and head strong. Xena, who is usually stoic as you said, just let all her feelings and emotions run over her in that moment. I’ve replayed that scene so many times now and it gets more and more emotional with the more episodes I’m watching after. They are really getting to me now lol. It was all fun and games but momma’s in it for life now -Hunter

MsMcGoo

Not alone on them just being friends. I won’t say when I think they are more.

2 Girls 1 Episode

There was honestly nothing to say. It was such an emotional scene I felt like if I breathed too hard I would ruin it. It’s the way she just doesn’t care who is around to see her lose it. She fights so much internally that she never lets anyone see her be vulnerable. But this brave, pushy, annoying ass teenager crept her way into her heart and continues to put herself behind everyone else. How dare her try to leave Xena so quickly lol. LISTEN, it’s not surprise I find the CGI from this time funny and fun. But Centaurs in general just creep me out hahah. Nothing on them of course. I do have to remind myself it was the 90s 😅 And yeah, watching it was Tash has been such a joy. She’s gotten so good at not spoiling anything for me. And I love seeing her be emotional over them. I could only imagine growing up with these two perfect human beings. I’m a bit into season 2 at the moment and I’ve already cried over them haha -Hunter

MsMcGoo

If I heard right there wasn’t even a chemistry test between the two of them.

Lea

... on the scene - 💯 ... I totally meant that as a compliment... it was my initial reaction... I am waaaay older than yall... and I'd just had my son 2 months earlier, (and just turned 22 the month before this aired), so my hormones were still crazy... so i blamed them for me sitting there silently bawling watching Lucy show how much Xena cared for Gabrielle, while rockin my son and healing from the c-section ephiny had too 😆 ... especially since my son and my hearts stopped because his head was stuck in my spine (emergency c-section like 20 minutes after they started again - a long 90 seconds of us not breathing - but we were fine 🙂)... so it kinda brought that fear back, so soon.. but still... I love when people have that reaction to that scene... only 1 person out of the 30 or so I've gotten to watch it over the years, hasn't reacted like that... still loved it, but they were crazed over the whole "Xena invented CPR and influenced Hippocrates into creating the Hippocratic Oath???" thing 😆 ... and, back then, we had to wait for re-runs... there was no YouTube to turn to 😆 so yeah... heart broken, then healed all in the one episode, soooo good... ... 🤣 🤣 I know, the centaurs ARE creepy 😆 but its a BABY 👶 😆 I can't... ALL babies are adorable to me 😆, people, puppies, alligators 🤣 just not insects or bugs... those babies can go 🤣 but I agree, cgi bad, but for the 90s, it was really cool... ... tash is excellent as the guide to this experience for you... she does great... I kinda want her to tell you SOME things 🤣 but then it's funner if you just don't know anything... but her facial expressions and her word for word scene knowledge, so fun to see if she'll hold it together, or clue you in something is coming 😉 Can't wait for season 2, but I have to... [deep sigh] enjoy yalls time off...

Oh my gosh well I’m glad you both are okay. That had to have been traumatic as fuck. Hugs xx And yes, all babies are cute. Centaur babies are cute too… from the waist up 🤣 I purposely told her I don’t want to know anything. She does tell me a little bit but nothing of huge importance. I like the way I find out as the episodes go! And you won’t be waiting for long! Season 2 on patreon starts in November 😉

Rayve

Great reaction. It’s also so fun that Hunter can track and identify the previous episodes, like “oh the breast dagger from episode 3, Ephiny from episode 10” - someone’s rewatching!! 💕 Renee’s gasp of life always gets me, so well done. And Lucy with tears in her eyes, voice breaking, clear desperation. Right to the heart.

Lea

... thank you 😀 🤗 he's now 6'6 and he's been very healthy... I am very blessed by him... sooooo worth the really, really horrible, painful labor 😆 ... 🤣 true... waist up ... I get it... but some things are okay for tash to tell you... not sure who got on her early cause I just found yall recently... but some things are okay to know... I mean, ya know how it ends 🤣... but as with all things, its the journey that really is the best of all... yall do what yall do how yall do it... I'm here for it... ... that's great, I'll be here the whole way, barring my death 😆... I had started watching it again and had gotten to 2x4 when I saw yalls YouTube come up on my algorithm... so i stopped there...

2 Girls 1 Episode

Rewatching is an UNDERSTATEMENT. I’ve watched every episode like 10 times. (Besides Death Mask and The Titans-oops LOL) but yes this is very much my comfort/background show forever now. Tash was telling me the other day it’s annoying now how I know the actors names because I look for their names in the credits 😅

2 Girls 1 Episode

I am so glad you and your son are doing great, but my goodness traumatic there for a second. And you are so kind, I am trying hard to 1. Give her the best experience 2. Enjoy it myself and 3. Remember all the things I watched and listened to about Xena when I was younger haha, but I’m so glad you are enjoying this journey with us. - Tash

Lea

... thank you; it really was an awful experience other than the magic of my baby... you can understand why he's my only one 😆 ... you're doing a fantastic job... soooo much better than I do... cause my face tells toooo much 😆 everybody says I'm an open book... so, you're doing awesome - I just feel so bad for you sometimes cause you are trying soooo hard not to react too soon... its very sweet of you, honestly... i watched it when I was early 20s... so i was much older than you were, but its as much a part of my world as it is yours 😆 but I watch it all the way through a couple times a year at least... except the finale, it just hurts my soul too much... 💔 but I still watch even it (directors cut movie version) every couple years... great series... but that ending just.... ripped my soul and tore it to shards.... too invested 🤣 🤣 ... alright, ill leave yall be now... I've said too much... waiting on the next part to start ... season 2... whoo hoo .. some very good episodes, most all are very good...

“My favorite scene in ‘Is There a Doctor in the House’ is inventing CPR and Xena waking up Gabrielle and saving her. Having that moment where you realise that, this ragtag little girl that Xena had picked up along the way, who was a bard, who was a bit of an annoyance, (who) she was falling in love with. And that (those are) tears of ‘I’m about to lose someone that I love’.” - T.J. Scott in 'What You Didn’t Know About Xena’ Every time they say the creators were queerbaiting Exhibit fucking A that they absolutely were NOT! This scene made the entire cast/crew speechless. You could hear a pin drop. One-take too. They nailed it! Phenomenal acting performances all around from the leads and guest starrings.

Girl4Music

They didn't really do chemistry tests back then. That became more of a thing they did when they started involving intimacy co-ordinators. These two were just lightening in a bottle - as Rob says.

‘Is There A Doctor In The House?’ is one of my TOP 10 favourite Xena episodes. Believe it or not, it was even more graphic and bloody. They had to cut out a lot of content for that reason. What they leave in is mostly psychological. Still very effective though. The honesty of the horrors of war, trauma and death in this TV show is something I find very compelling about it and it’s a huge reason why I keep coming back to watch it over. Even if it is a family show, they do not sugarcoat or screen-shield their lead characters. It’s so well done. I’m excited to see your reactions, listen to your commentary and read your comments for Season 2. As much as I love Season 1, Season 2 is much better in terms of upping the stakes and building on the relationship between Xena and Gabrielle. You’ll love it.

HIPPOCRATES: “I, too, hope I will one day make a great healer.” It’s thanks to Hippocrates and Democritus that we have modern medicine as it is today. When the focus switched from religion to medical, healing and human welfare in saving and changing lives improved vastly. And it’s amazing to think that in this Universe, Xena and Gabrielle taught them all that that they would one day become great healers and life savers themselves. I wonder if anyone here is a doctor or a surgeon and could tell us what all the medical and surgical procedures showcased and performed in this episode are called because I know they’re real procedures. One of which was also performed in a previous episode but failed because mankind had lost its ability to heal itself. That’s something that’s not so well known about medical health in the Western hemisphere. The human body does most of the work. Medicine and medical treatment only help it along in that endeavour. Explains why they push drugs so much in the USA. The body can heal itself but without the aid of drugs, it’s slower and a lot more painful. But sometimes drugs aren’t even necessary and the body should be left to work on itself alone. Even if painkillers relieve suffering. No spoilers but there’s a scene later on in the show where atomic theory is postulated by Gabrielle, technically making her the founder of atomic physics instead of Democritus. Or at least the philosopher of it. That’s really cool as well. That of a female being an Ancient Greek philosopher because they existed. They just weren’t historically recorded because men ruled the roost back then. Still do in some ways.

The scene in 'Callisto' recalls Xena's struggle with expressing vulnerability and sensitivity in that she tries to send Gabrielle off to bed so that she couldn't see her cry. But Gabrielle wouldn't move from her side and just sat there crying with her and sharing her pain. So she left herself unguarded for what must have been for the first time since her reformation to good only because Gabrielle insisted on it. Rest assured, there will be an evolution with Xena with this. With expressing emotion. Xena's evolution is much more emotional than it is physical but still incredibly well-written and portrayed.
