Leave it up to Xena to bust a bunch of criminals out of prison for a little Friday night fun. I still wonder what the point is when they try to double cross her though. The only one who could get her guard down enough to be able to do that is Gabrielle.

What do you think? Do you agree with Xena? Was Gabrielle always going to be who she is without Xena, or has Xena changed her path a little. I love the questions Steven always puts in his episodes. You can tell he really enjoys the discussions and making the audience think a bit.

I'm going to need them to stop making them have these cute little moments at the end of each episode though because when it comes time to discuss, IT'S ALL I CAN FOCUS ON.

The Dirty Dozen was a film made in 1967. It was about 12 condemned soldiers who are pressed into service and trained as a crack commando team to undertake a daring mission in Nazi-occupied France. Hence this title "The Dirty Half Dozen".

This episode was great! I liked the concept of the new metal, the new characters and Xena interactions with them, the deep talks, the fights, the sets. Super entertaining. I remember, when I had some friends from school at my house, almost 20 years ago, and they all new that I was a Xena fan, but they never paid too much attention to the show, and I showed them this episode and they all loved it. They started watching it every week. I think it is because it has a little of everything that we love about the show.

I am so excited to see Hunter's reaction to the next episode "The Deliverer". Going back to this episode the conversation between Xena and Gabrielle about who they would be with or without each other hits so much different, knowing what comes next. It's about to get crazy but in a great way...LOL

André

Just a small correction: this is not a season 2 episode. It just aired sooner than it was planned. It was shot after the Debts episodes. In fact, the first scene from the next episode, between Ares and Discord show us that he is in the works to reveal the secret to one of his best warriors (Agathon). Both episodes were written by Steve L. Sears and that was a small arc to give a continuity feel to the show cause he knows the fans love that. But it didn't work because of the weird decision to aired it sooner.

Hunter asked why they decided to have the conflict (what fans have called "the Rift") start at this point in the show. Rob Tapert said that in his experience fan interest in most TV shows tends to run out of steam a bit in the third season and they need something to reignite them. I'd say he succeeded.

André

I agree. It was bold and epic.

Something about ‘The Dirty Half Dozen’ where Gabrielle asks Xena “am I really who I am or am I what you made me?” being the episode that comes right before ‘The Deliverer’ where she actively kills someone. Something about both being Steven L. Sears episodes. I don’t know what that “something” is. But it really hits.

Honestly, I could not have cared less about Darnelle and Glaphyra as characters but I do like Steven's passion for them and an explanation of their similar characteristics and how that's what makes them interact and have them develop a challenging dynamic with each other that attracts one to the other. I'm more interested in the whole opposites attract dynamic that Xena and Gabrielle have so I never thought much of either of those characters either as individuals or as a couple. However, I do really like how he uses those characters along with the other two new faces that don't make it to the end of the episode to tell a story between Xena and Gabrielle and Gabrielle's questioning of what would have happened if she had met Xena when she was evil - ultimately answering it after those new faces had gone through their arcs and showing that two of them out of the four could be changed and turned to good because they chose to rather than because they were forced to - making the rather corny answer of Gabrielle's question by Xena more believable because even if Gabrielle had lost herself and became like any of these characters in meeting evil Xena, not everyone falls to a complete conditioning in the sense that they can still find their own way back out of that trap and given what goes on in the episode with the new faces - I believe that's what Xena really means in her answer to Gabrielle. It's not that she wouldn't have become like those characters - she may have but ultimately... the changes in her would come out of her own volition because fundamentally she was who she was regardless of influence. But then Xena tells her that without HER influence, she'd have much more of a struggle to hold on to who she really was because it's much more difficult for her to not let conditioning dictate her choices and actions and we see that a few times in the show. That regardless what Xena believes in for herself, without Gabrielle (her light) there, she'd just fall off the edge into the abyss of darkness and that's the really striking differences in their characters that give them the profound dynamic that they have. One of always balancing the other through everything. They still balance each other and neither of them can truly fall off the precipice when with each other. You see, a fair bit of conditioning happens to Gabrielle while travelling around and falling more in love with Xena - but as I've said - the thing is that because they have each other around to pull each other out of that cycle, then neither of them really can lose themselves entirely because their profound dynamic just doesn't allow for it to happen. I give Darnelle and Glaphyra a week in comparison. See how they fair. Maybe they would stay together but they wouldn't be good people together because they're too much of the same people. Xena and Gabrielle are complete polar opposites all the way through and so that constant contrasting is what neutralises any of their extremities. Opposites attract is not just a clever physics phrase. It's how anything works. Any relationships. That does include human relationships.

We need more of them in cloaks.

2 Girls 1 Episode

There is a specific cloak episode this season that I just can not sit still for. Like wtf do you mean I see that woman damn near naked in Spartacus but her covered neck to toes in a cloak is so hot?? -Hunter
