This episode had a human woman getting a Caesarian to birth a baby centaur. A lot of things about Xena are still pretty decent twenty-plus years later, but man, these wonky-ass CGI effects really date it. I remember feeling this way watching old X-Files episodes, too.

I started S2 a little while ago and there's only been one Joxer episode, haha. Since Xena is a Hercules spinoff, and I haven't watched through Herc in a billion years, I wasn't sure if it was a "Xena knows Joxer" episode or a true debut. Gabrielle beat the crap out of him over and over, though, so it was pretty enjoyable. He's no Salmoneus, though.

Speaking of the second season, apparently Xena has a son she abandoned somehow and never mentioned it. I was little leery of introducing that out of nowhere, but after seeing the ep, it wasn't so bad. I'm glad the traveling crew didn't increase 'cause I don't like child actors.

Gabby was annoying at first, but she's grown on me. I kinda wish I'd started watching Hercules' series first, though.

Okay, Xena is in a beauty pageant now. This season has been a bit up and down so far, and we've already done Christmas carols, an Indiana Jones parody, and now this. Comedy episodes are supposed to be a fun change of pace, not the new normal.

At least Salmoneus is here to make everything better.

EDIT: Huh, the pageant has a transperson in it and it's promoting acceptance and stuff. Didn't expect that from an apparent throwaway episode.

S2E16 had about fifteen straight minutes of Joxer under Aphrodite's spell, soloing a hundred soldiers like old-school Errol Flynn action.

Up to S3 now. I hope this one isn't as silly as the previous, but Xena is already doing Looney Tune sound effects, so it doesn't bode well.

This ep where Xena is doing her version of Groundhog Day is pretty good. She gets so annoyed at reliving the day, she just straight up murders Joxer with a chakram. Sure, that outcome's later erased, but it's still pretty funny.

Hmm, not sure where she picked it up. She's shown she's travelled all over and learned different things from people she's met along the way, like the African slave who taught her those pressure point techniques. She was just in Britain in the last episode, where Gabby was tricked into murdering someone. Looks like they're going to make it a little story arc or somethin'.

This Chinese chick did a DBZ ki blast on Xena. It'd be pretty dumb, but Gabrielle literally gave birth to a demon baby that was rapidly aging in the previous episode, so it's a close race.

Joxer the Tidy
Always plays inside-y
Doesn't hurt the other boys
Even when they take his toys!

This ep with Joxer's evil twin is great. Weird that they're doing another "Xena has a fourth lookalike!" episode right after this, though. They're really mining that doppelganger territory.

Did they retcon how Xena gave her child to the centaurs? I could've sworn it happened closer to their village, but now it's happening almost exactly the same way in some other place. Maybe I'm just forgetting, lol.

Damn, how many episodes in India are we doing? It's nice as a diversion, but the mysticism stuff isn't as good as Ares coming down and scheming or something. I'm also a little curious why Hera hasn't been showing up in this series -- I think there was one mention of her in 80 episodes. I know it's Hercules' thing, but she's got her fingers in plenty of wicked pies, I'm sure.

Gabrielle threw away her staff and is trying to be an avowed pacifist? That just sets up constant "Gabrielle is kidnapped" subplots and we've had nine million of those so far. I bet she gets her staff back by the time this India arc is over.

The episode parodying The Producers was pretty good. Gabrielle was trying to center her muse and not add in frivolous crowd-pleasing elements, then went to Sophocles' play and saw it had babes, blood and gore.

In this next episode, it looks like Joxer got his first kill.
