Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts
Please please please read the real story on this one. It's worth it!
The doors to Helen's bedchamber look distinctly similar to the doors to the room where Celesta was held prisoner in "Death in Chains" (look at the handles and the pattern of Xs on the door itself, and the triangle and swirly design on the right hand side when Deiphobus closes them later. Compare to the very end of DiC just before the commercial break.)
When Xena and Gabby are talking about having no food, Xena is wearing the chakram on her left hip. When Malthiades is being attacked, she's wearing the whip on her left and the chakram on her right.
Uhhhh.... Helen didn't tell Malthiades what the message was.
Skeltons on Wheels... I know this shows up again later.... darn it, where?
Keep your voice down! But I will continue to talk quite loudly...
On the last attack before Xena regains her chakram, you can see the guy she "killed" holding it up in the background. Then when she goes to get it, you can actually see him hand it off over his left shoulder.
Look for those stairs & gates again in Warrior... Princess.
The whole Perdicas in Troy thing is stretching logic awfully far. Not only is he a Greek farmer who somehow managed to get pretty highly placed in the Trojan army when they don't trust Greeks, he has no info about what exactly the Greeks are doing, but he definitely wants the second detail on the south battlement. Come on. I mean, REALLY!
When the guard on the wall yells out "Archers!" he is facing the courtyard. He then gets wounded in the chest with a flaming arrow and falls into the courtyard. How did the Greek archer manage to shoot him in the chest instead of the back? And how was the arrow burning again when Perdicas pulled it out when it had gone out when the guard fell?
And how did Perdicas fire a standard arrow from a crossbow? The fletches should have made it impossible.
Now that the audience knows who I am, I will feel no need to hide my identity from the soldiers on the wall that I am betraying. Instead, I will run around with my very distinctive curly hair uncovered.
Why are there stairs in a dungeon, when presumably the only exit is through the gate? (Watch one of the prisoners fall on them)
The temple of Aphrodite has a ram's head on it?
"This room was built to store food and supplies in case the Greeks ever invaded." What have they been doing for the past ten years? And how did they get fresh fruit and grapes in a city surrounded by the Greek army?
How did they turn the horse around? It couldn't have had turning wheels -- they would have run into the side of the horse when they tried to twist.General Comments
Zylch sez: What would happen if their children had her strength and his beauty? Ugh!
