Isn't this the MOST RANDOM Xena Episode ?
I watched it last last with a puzzled look throughout the whole show.

Maybe...assuming Married With Fish sticks is not a X:WP episode

For me it always was the the best terrible episode of the lot.
One of the worst ever scripts/plots..., and beautifully directed at the same time.

The whole thing is so full of contradictions between the author's utter contempt for Xena as a character and the directors love for it that it's almost funny.

Have to agree with Xenatizer. The direction and photography (I've heard it described as an "eye candy episode") made up for the less-than-gleaming script and absurd rabbit teeth for me.
I like the yoga and tai chi elements. Whenever I mention that I've been to a yoga class QB still jokes "You'd better take it easy with that stuff before you end up turning blue."

It also contains my all time favorite Xena prop: The yin yang bed. I swear that some day I'm gonna get me one of those!

Here we go again.

I LOVE this episode.

I like that it takes the piss out of the whole "spiritual journey" motif of Season 4.

I love how the emotional ideas of the piece are manifested as physical attributes.

The scene where Xena is massaging Gabrielle while flashing forwards to the crucifiction is masterful, IMO.

Can I just add -- Prof you crack me up!

it is one of my fav episodes. yes,it is quite kitschy and the rabbit-teeth and some other stuff is just too much but I like the whole story! This ep has some of my all-time-fav scenes eg.: Xena massaging Gabby and Xena having that jealous/sad look when she sees Gabby crying in that strange guy's (never can remember his name!)arms!

Maybe if you took the title into consideration and linked it to what we already know about John Milton and his epic Paradise Lost

i love the episode TOO!! for all the reasons ARGY said!! but it did manage to anger me a bit with all the righteous gabrielle BS... but, you gotta take the good9xena) with the bad(gabs).... *busts into song* YOU TAKE 'EM BOTH AND THERE YOU HAVE HE XENA LIFE! THE XENA LIFE.......
