The episode is kind of intriguing. Ares vs. Artemis. Ladies, place your bets.
Well... One of two-parts episode is like a half-eisode. it's not enough for debriefing.
Just a few separate thoughts.
It was nice to see Ares who revered the memory of fallen brother. And when he understood what is the true cost of worship. And the main thing, he became free. Seriously. The beginning when he was cooking while Xena was fighting... of course, of course we know who wears the breeches in their couple, in a figurative sense. But it's a pity to see ex-GOW in such role.
All right. Now we're waiting the next episode for the full print.
Btw, after promo I expected to see Chris Conrad in supporting role. Wheeeereeeee? He refused your invitation? The small fee? =)
Oh, and who is that girl putting the moves on Darion. What about Annabelle? Eh, the fickleness of youth.
All in all, well done.

Was having a crappy week so seeing that the SS were back cheered me up no end.
Brilliant writing as always. It was refreshing to see Ares fitting into the everyday goings on in Xena and Gabrielle's lives rather than bemoaning the loss of his Godhood. That's not to say I don't miss immortal Ares sometimes too. I'm intrigued to see how Ares will handle the news about Artemis in the next part. It was also great to see Ares get a large chunk of the story missed the interactions between him an Xena though, saying that, if the entire story was made up of nothing but interactions between them, I'd still want more ahaha.
Waiting with baited breath for the next installment!

I've just finished the ep! Awesome work, I loved every part of it! Random thoughts: My favourite parts were Ares' "hassles" with Zarek. I liked a lot the fact that Ares insisted on leaving his old temple for Artemis and respected her mourning for her brother. I liked it that you guys didn't make Ares seem "soft" or too emotional, he was "mortal" and still, he had the "essence" of a god. The Gabrielle/Xena parts were also great, but enjoyed the fact that this ep focused more on Ares- I think it was good to present him as a real and active warrior again =) And something last, I liked the relatively "short" scenes. You cutted an Ares' scene to a Xena one and then you did the opposite- this alternation was very interesting and made the story even more intriguing Thanks for writing the eps!
