Tonight is going to be another quick trip down #Kissmatewatches with Xena episodes! Still season one, with episode seven and eight. Stay tuned!

#Kissmatewatches Xena Episode Seven: Titans
Gabi frees some titans with a chant. Hyperion attacks the humans and threatens to free the rest of his brethren. Gabi and Xena turn them back to stone before he can, thus saving the day.

#Kissmatewatches This was a Gabi-centered episode where she acts a bit more immature than usual. She tries to get Xena to see she's useful and mature by trying to do things on her own, but she always ends up causing more trouble by meddling.

#Kissmatewatches Some of the plot points felt forced or a step out of character, but otherwise it was a pretty good episode! Good effects, decent story. Not much else to write about.

#Kissmatewatches Xena Episode Eight: Prometheus
Hera captures Prometheus, thus robbing humans of fire and the ability to heal wounds. Herc and Xena team up to free Prometheus. The catch is, the one to free Prometheus will die. It ends with a loophole and everyone living.

#Kissmatewatches Xena and Herc have this self-sacrifice feud going on, because they're both so heroic like that. Xena even tries to steal the magic sword with a "look at that" move. They feel like an older brother and a younger sister.

#Kissmatewatches Gabi and Iolaus feel like the same person, to the point they're AU genderbends of each other. It's awesome to see them point out insecurities of one another, and then try to beef each other up with it.

#Kissmatewatches The only thing I don't like is the shipping they're trying to make me do. Cause I can't. I can't ship the hetero couples.
Xena and Herc are too close to siblings-in-trauma.
Gabi and Iolaus are WAY too far in age (he's almost twice hers).

#Kissmatewatches We got time for one more Xena, just to finish off the disk. Onto episode nine!

#Kissmatewatches Xena Episode Nine: Death in Chains
Sisyphus captures Death, thus breaking the natural order. Xena and Co break it to Sisyphus that this is a BAD idea, thus causing him to set Death to be free. There's a gang of "undead" bandits who try to stop Xena. They die.

#Kissmatewatches I find it interesting that instead of Thanatos, it's "Hades' sister" that's captured. I like to headcanon that it's a Ker who got captured instead, as most of the deaths we see are violent or caused by disease. (It's not perfect, but oh well.)

#Kissmatewatches Another plus for Xena, because this is the best (and closest) depiction of Hades in popular media I've seen! He's cool, charming, and covered in that nice goth look, but not a villain in the slightest. He actually is the one to tell Xena about Death's capture!

#Kissmatewatches That's all I can do for tonight, but keep watching, for next time is Hercules! Good Night, all!
