You’re gonna love the pure comedies. I can already tell. I love when a watcher can appreciate the camp rather than condemn the show for it. You’re the right person to be watching and reacting to it. Everybody thinks because of the main concept and initial synopsis for the show that the whole thing is going to be dark and serious and dramatic… And it’s just not like that at all. Yeah, it has episodes where it can definitely be that but there’s a really great balance between both drama and comedy, between tragedy and eccentricity…. It’s just a really versatile genre/adventure show. It has everything you could ever want or need in it. Drama, comedy, fantasy, science-fiction, musicals, western, horror, thriller, queer representation, absolutely everything.

Gabrielle: “I hope I find someone who’ll make me smile like that.”
Xena: “I’m sure you will, just don’t be afraid to speak up when it happens. Of course that’s never been a problem with you, has it?”
*Gabrielle smiles the widest smile*
Nice one, writers 👌👍

I still want to know when they did the swap because we see “Xena” leave with Gabrielle out of the castle so when did they have time to meet up and do the swap? These are things that still can’t be answered even after god knows how many rewatches.

Xena: “We’re leaving here as soon as I can get out of this outfit.”
Gabrielle: *leers at her cleavage* “I like it.”
Of course you do, Gaybrielle. 😂😏

Xena has many skills but unless you consider singing (Lucy has a lovely voice), musicianship isn’t one of them.

Yeah, it’s not just Buffy that does doppleganger and body swap episodes. This was a good way to save on budget: less casting, obviously and because every doppleganger is playing one or the other doppelgängers, less wardrobe. There is a few of these. The 3rd one is my favourite.
There was supposed to be a 4th that was a musical but it never made it to production. The script can be found online though and er… if you’ve ever heard of the term “femslash” in fanfiction… it reads very much like one. Hence the reason it was cut.

“Does anyone feel a passiveness to this?”
It’s a pure comedy. They don’t kill people in pure comedies. It’s the first pure comedy.

Oh Liam, if you're already loving the show now... can't wait till you see some of the absolutely iconic episodes and storylines to come!
With the humour as well, this was one of the more humour heavy episodes so far. But as with some elements so far, it's clear that this show will not shy away from being absolutely ridiculous with its humour.

I didn’t know how you would respond to the central concept of this episode, but obviously it worked very well. 😁
