5-17 Kindred Spirits

First airing was Mar 20, 2000.

The story starts out with Amazons bathing in a river. Someone is spying on them.

Cut to Gabrielle and Xena and Eve. Both women are wearing Amazon leather buckskin outfits.
Gabrielle is talking about staying with the tribe to serve as their queen. Xena hesitatingly says
she'll think about staying too.

Back to the Amazons bathing. Cyane hears the bushes rustle and the others attack and beat up
whoever was spying on them and take him to Gabrielle and Xena. It's Joxer. He wants them to
acknowledge that they know him. Xena whispers to him, asking if he has a letter from Cleopatra, he
says no. Xena says she doesn't know him and he is put in stocks tied between two trees.

An Amazon named Eris asks Joxer what Xena looks for in a sidekick. He tells her lots of flips and a
good war cry.

Xena, Gabrielle and some of the Amazons are in a sweat lodge talking about being with men. Xena
and Gabrielle have different views on what makes a good lover. Gabrielle mentions they might be
settling down. Xena says they're moving too fast. Gabrielle adds that they're only considering it.

Early in the morning Gabrielle and Xena are awakened by the blowing of a ram's horn to call the
queen to ceremonies. Gabrielle tells Xena she can clean up the hut or go hunting.

I hope this is sarcasm..... either that or this is a personal
preference thing because I always though Gabrielle looked really silly
in pretty much every single type of hat they put on her........
particularly the antlers. LOL

Actually, I was being serious. There's just something about the way her face is framed (and
maybe the color contrast) that I like. But I agree with you about the hats she wears. The do make
her look silly.

I knew there was something else that bothered me, but first the dialog--
(Joxer has bee brought in front of Gabrielle and Xena, accused of spying)
Joxer: "Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I'm _friends_ with-with Xena. She's right there.
Go on. Tell 'em. Tell 'em."
Xena (whispering) : "Did you bring the letter from Cleopatra, like I asked."
Joxer: "Oh, that. Uh-- I-I forgot again. Ow!"

So, Joxer was supposed to have gone all the way to Egypt to bring a letter from Cleopatra,
then searched all of Siberia for Xena (and just happened to arrive at the lake/river to spy on the
bathing Amazons).
* How did Xena know Cleo had a letter for her?
* WHY would she have Joxer, of all people, to go get it for her? (And would Cleo have given
it to him?)
* If he had to travel ALL the way to Egypt, HOW could even Joxer forget to get the letter?
* AGAIN?? How many trips did he make?
