For me, I would have to say it is a toss-up between One Against An Army and
Bitter Suite, with the edge going to OAAA. There are several others that
come close, but these 2 stand out as my all-time favorites. I never get
tried of watching them. The reason the are my favorites is that despite
everything else that is going on (action, music, etc.) at the heart of it
all, these 2 are entirely about the relationship between Xena and Gabrielle
and the love they have for one another.

Now, as for the all time worst? Another toss-up between Married With
Fishsticks and Amazon High - I mean Lifeblood. Both sucked beyond belief and
are unwatchable for me.

By the way, www.woosh.org currently has a listing of top and bottom 12
episodes as voted by the fans. They have A Day In The Life as #1, and
Married With Fishsticks as all-time worst.

I seem to be having trouble getting my response to this thread to post
but here goes again....

I'd have to also go with One Against an Army....

or Intimate Stranger (I just think it's hard to pick just one Callisto
episode, they're all good and they all go together)

Considering how quickly everyone had to rework everything at the time of
Lucy's accident, it is amazing how well TLW came out, with Hudson in the
role of Xena.

It's hard to decide, but I'll have to go with "Adventures in the Sin Trade".
What a great way to start off a season!

Also up there, "The Debt" & "Ides of March"

David Lloyd...The reason Hudson took over for Lucy as(Xena)..is Lucy was
pregnant with her first baby with Rob. Or she was recovering from an
incident on the Leno show. Lucy fell off her horse(even tho she's an
accomplish horse rider)..she injured her coccyx(tailbone). Well what I
read anyway.

Hudson was Xena for three episodes..as I recall. If anyone actually
knows...please post.
I'm guessing on this. Now in the fifth season...she was pregnant again.
So Rob filled in the blanks..with Xena finding out she's pregnant..in
this ancient(not sure the spelling). western town.

Remember I seen all the episodes about 30 times.

I want to give alittle quiz.

Two actresses from Xena..went to do guest starring appearances..on the
same show.

Name them.

I just recently thought about this a week ago.

The one actress has a recurring role..on the show.

Good luck.
