Tbh I thought it ruined her character progression completely. The only reason this happened was because pregnant Lucy couldn't do much action and Renee had to fill in.
@@xenondoro8573 I dunno. It makes sense how she chose the way of friendship over the way of love. I honestly did not really care for passive Gabby. After "The Way" and until "The Ides of March", she was a bit boring. I do miss classic Gabby though. I was one of those people who actually stopped watching the show when they cut her hair. I was like "this is some bullshit!" But, years later I went back and finished it! haha
First episode she did after giving birth I never realised back then that she was really pregnant and wondered why Xena was pregnant for so long. It's brilliant how the handled her pregnancy limited action but still kicking butt
@@Stephaniepage-ee3cw I didn't realize that she was pregnant either. I thought it was one of those pregnant bulge things some people wear to look pregnant in movies and TV shows.
This wasn't the real Hades. Erik Thomson was the man, and he doesn't get half as much credit as Ares and Aphrodite. It felt out of character for Hades to care about the Twilight. Prior to this, he was always neutral and even complained about all his "parchment work" on Hercules.
Yes! Even in Adventures In The Sin Trade he even have insights to Xena about Gabrielle. He was more worried about his work load. I didn't like the route they took with him. The new actor took away Eriks charm. Plus tbh they couldve kept Hades the Underworld still existed.
@@XENA_H.Seira.ZHNA.Me.Ypotitlus I agree about the Hades part since I'm used to the original actor. Solan on the other hand couldn't be helped. This was like what? 3 or 4 years after he first appeared? The actor must've hit puberty by then.
@@XENA_H.Seira.ZHNA.Me.Ypotitlus He is supposed to look the same age in this episode as when he died. No amount of make up can make a 16 year old look and sound like a 12 year old. I think they took the best approach possible.
@@XENA_H.Seira.ZHNA.Me.Ypotitlus The problem for me is that the actor replacing Solan is noticeably younger than the original, making no sense. Kind of like season five in general.
Because the writers had to nerf the gods on Xena as, unlike Hercules, she is a mortal and therefore no match for a god. Gods were really godly only on Hercules.
woah xena is prangent about having a beautiful baby girl named Eve or livia or something I think I guess that's was awesome so cool I'm so very proud of it so very happy joy
@@milchkaffeeable The no killing rule changed after season 4 when Xena could no longer fight or defend herself. Gabrielle took out a bunch of guards with a sword before they were crucified. In season 5 she picked up the Sais and fully accepted that she was a warrior. She still doesn't kill unless absolutely necessary and thats why she often uses the blunt ends of the Sais.
@@QilinRider21 she kills people in the later season, I think she choose the Sai's because when can kill with, defend with them or just knock someone out.
a shame we didnt get marcus back in this episode too like her son solan. hades couldve pulled him from paradise too like solan being two out her three dearest loves with her brother being the three but its not known if he was in paradise more likely in tartarus.
Isn't this Hades character appear on "Hercules: the Legendary Journeys"? Because in mythology, Hades is a brother of Zeus who is the father of Hercules himself.
The character Hades was on several episodes of Hercules and Xena. Originally, and in most of his appearances, he was played by Erik Thomson; but in season five of Xena he was played by Steven Lovatt.
There is a foreshadowing of eve having kids as stated in episode xena scrolls, professor pappas and Melinda pappas to be distant descendant from xena in 1940 as eve is xena only living child?
In that same episode Ares says only someone with his blood could open the tomb. Either Eve had kids with Ares' son Evander or Xena actually was his daughter.
@@aliraqialiraqi984 This is the official channel of the series in English the official channel of the series in Spanish stopped uploading episodes and videos !!!
The Olympians could rain down fire or energy on Xena from above. They instead choose close quarters combat with an enemy that can hurt or kill them. Today's special forces soldiers would easily kill Xena and company. I hate dull villains with zero intellect or strategy.
I absolutely love how Gabrielle's fighting completely evolved!! Its awesome!!
I was thinking the Samething when I use to watch this when I was in my teens.
@@DamnTheMan1 yeah! It's really awesome!
And the way that she was holding her own against a god!
I love how badass Gabrielle became after her crucifixion!
I agree she was
Word. Fucking it up with the Sais. A long way from the staff and even longer before not being able to defend herself!
It's plot magic.

Everybody gangsta until Xena uses her chakram
Renee O'Connor looked so gorgeous with that haircut.
She was gorgeous in every season lol
Everything of her was gorgeous. Her Haircut, abs, arms. She was perfect.

What do you meanings by ?

He told Xena to name the baby Eve.
That was cute scene
Who did? Eli?
@@trevorbuehler3273 Solon whispered the name to Xena
@@trevorbuehler3273Eli was a spirtel person

@@focusx77 Absolutely. They trashed so many great side characters in the Twilight including Hades, Haephestus, Autolycus, Ephiny, Minya, even Joxer.
@@Nepthu what was wrong with how Stephen Lovatt played him?
Ares was Neutral too
Even if the original Hades actor played Hades Hades was going to betray his friendship with Xena for the Twilight of the God's regardless
Stephen Lovatt is no Erik Thompson but I like that he takes his own take on the character instead of trying to impersonate Erik Thomas.
Hades you are a god think like a god. Use your powers 🔥⚡🌪️❄️? 🤣🤣🤣
I preferred the first actor for Hades. Phwaor! His Hades was everything you'd expect him to be 😁
Another Hades, another Solan, just awful.

@@荒巻正男 the could somehow fix the Solan part. Even with make-up, or something. It was awful they replaced the original.

Why are the gods always so slow to kill with their powers?
Because plot armor.
They could have killed Xena easily but Athena chose to act like an episode of the week warlord until it was too late.
A bad writing and for the plot 🙃
Umm. It's a TV show.
Because the writers had to nerf the gods on Xena as, unlike Hercules, she is a mortal and therefore no match for a god. Gods were really godly only on Hercules.
I love this episode and I liked the way they did the episodes while lucy was pregnant at the time xx
Me too
The solan story line is so sad I can’t even watch 🙈
woah xena is prangent about having a beautiful baby girl named Eve or livia or something I think I guess that's was awesome so cool I'm so very proud of it so very happy joy
I love this episode, thanks for posting!!! I like the other Solon. I don't remember 2 Hades....guess I have to watch the eps again!!
Same
Same. The other Solon looked more like Lucy. I guess he was too old at this point to come back. 🤷♀️
Poor xena she can’t Evan enjoy bring new life to into this world and now xena and Gabriella have to fright to protect xena unborn child
I agree
Oh vaya, en definitiva me perdí varios capítulos dónde rifaba la rubita.
xena warriors princess is so amazing
I'd like to see prequel tv series about evil xena also Lucy could do voice over just like they did with young Sheldon?
Her chakra is a shield love it!
So sad Xena started to have Contractions in the underworld
I wish it could be in dstv channel
2:31, 2:34 THINK AGAIN HADES!
I can't get over the fact that Gabrielle chose sais as her weapon, only to fight with it in a style that the most inefficient for it.
It was part of her whole no killing mantra she had adopted
@@QilinRider21 but why not nunchackus or bambus sticks for Kali/Escrima kinda martial arts 🤔

i miss xena the warrior princess
I'd like to see daughter of eve name after xena it would be great story passing on legend here warrior princess?
That's not Solan. That's a different boy
a shame we didnt get marcus back in this episode too like her son solan. hades couldve pulled him from paradise too like solan being two out her three dearest loves with her brother being the three but its not known if he was in paradise more likely in tartarus.
They made the gods look so weak.
Besos xena
When did Erik Thomson stop playing Hades and was replaced by Stephen Lovatt?
❤❤
0:54 Oh! And why not Hades?!
Sweet
Is it possible that Melinda Pappas direct descendants from solan half sister eve ?
Yes given those are the only children Xena had.
Isn't this Hades character appear on "Hercules: the Legendary Journeys"? Because in mythology, Hades is a brother of Zeus who is the father of Hercules himself.
Yes, he appeared in Hercules multiple times, probably more than Xena.
@@k10nn10th Impressive. Is the guy portraying the character the same actor or was he in a different role?
@@Kevin-xv9pm They started using a different actor for Hades towards the end of the series.

I liked Gabrielle until they turned her into a California blond. The fighting evolution is great though
