       Since the synopsis was already done, I won't bother with another one, but   
   I do have a few   
   comments --   
      
   Quite a different look for Xena, both the character and the show. A lot more   
   magic and spiritualism   
   than usual.   
      
   Did anyone notice that Renee wasn't in the opening credits???   
      
   A lot of flashbacks. Nice to see Borias again.   
      
   As a god, I would have thought that Hades would know where the Amazon Land of   
   the Dead was, but   
   maybe he doesn't care.   
      
   Did Xena leave her Chakram with Argo? She sure could have used it against the   
   Berserker.   
      
   So why did the Amazons just leave their sister impaled on the tree limb?   
      
   Just from her looks, it appears that Alti is going to be more evil than   
   Callisto ever was!   
      
   Xena pretty much seemed to ignore Anokin at first, so I wonder what she did to   
   poison her soul. If   
   anyone would have done that, it would be Alti, I would think.   
      
   A good line by Xena - "I hate the dead. You can't take vengeance on them."   
      
   In the Interview clip Rob, Lucy and Renee were together. Rob and Lucy said a   
   little about the   
   episode. Renee had nothing to say, but since she wasn't in it I guess she was   
   just there. Lucy's   
   hair was back to the light brown it's supposed to be.   
      
   I noticed that Rob pronounces Gabrielle as "Gobrielle."   
      
   But the biggest complaint I have about this episode is the title - "Adventures   
   in the Sin Trade."   
   It makes absolutely no sense to me. I always heard/read that the sin trade was   
   slavery. Or selling   
   slaves for prostitution. And even if that is not what is meant, the title   
   still has nothing to do   
   with the story. Unless the sin trade is supposed to be something else in the   
   story. And if that is   
   the case, why not let us know what it is??   
      
   An odd episode, and kind of hard to rate. The stupid title, and no Gabrielle,   
   drop it a half point   
   each. So, I guess an 8 out of 10.   
      
   ++++++++++++++++
