My Comments:
The first episode in which they acknowledge the "subtext" between Xena and Gabrielle. Ironically, it was Chris Manheim who wrote this episode--she would later become a part of the relationship of Xena and Ares in season 5.Karl Urban is introduced, in the later seasons, he'll play Caesar and Cupid. And you can catch Karl in the upcoming video release Ghost Ship and in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

David de Lautour can be seen in the "Noggin" show Being Eve which is actually made in New Zealand. Being Eve also features Xena alum, Alison Bruce (Queen Melosa from "Hooves and Harlots", Talia from "Animal Attraction" and Kahina from "Legacy"), Steven Lovatt (Telemachus from "Ties That Bind", Phlanagus from "A Good Day" and Hades from "God Fearing Child", "Looking Death In the Eye" and "Motherhood") and Tandi Wright (Sarah from "Who's Gurkhan").
