My Comments:
Let's see if we get this straight, shall we: Arminestra is the uber Xena. Shakti
(a guy) is Gabrielle. Khindin is Alti. Got that?
Okay, so Naiyima sends "our" Xena to "her" future--Arminestra.
She's a great peacekeeper (which means old Xena must have done something "really
good"---AFIN! to get put into the body of a peacekeeper). Gabrielle, meanwhile
back her "time" is visibily pissed. As she should be. So, Naiyima
sends Gabrielle to "her" future--Shakti. He's a great warrior.
So, Armi tries to keep warlord Khindin (Alti) from taking the village, enslaving
people. Khindin realizes Armi is Xena and vice versa. In rides in Shatki. Shatki
and his band of merry warriors save the people and temporarily defeat Khindin.
Shatki is hurt and Armi helps. POOF! They realize that they are connected. Gabrielle
tells Xena she looks different---Xena says so do you.
In the end, Xena and Gab defeat Alti and send her spirit away, never to return
again (note that last part!)
Okay whatever. It was after this point that the use of Alti becomes rather
boring.
