           Of course you're welcome.   
      
       A few comments of my own --   
           #1 & 9.) A lot of problems with raising enough money to finance either   
   a made for TV or big   
   screen movie. Apparently TPTB just don't realize how large and how devoted the   
   fan base is.  And I   
   have to give Rob kudos for wanting to use his money before taking it from the   
   fans.   
           #3.)  Never thought about it, but the series was very much about   
   Gabrielle's growth.   
           #6.)  Also I have to agree that if Gabrielle HAD died with Xena, it   
   would have been less   
   traumatic for us fans than Gabrielle having to go on alone.  But I can't agree   
   that Xena's death   
   was necessary for Gabrielle to take the next step in her life.   
           #50.  Can't blame either Lucy or Renee for wanting a break from XWP   
   after six grueling   
   years, especially since Renee was pregnant when the series ended.   
           # 51.  "...But FINS would have been remembered differently!!!!!"    If   
   only (sigh)...!   
           #53.   I have to disagree that "Takes One To Know One" was a bad ep. I   
   kind of liked it.   
   (after a quick check, I see I rated it an 8 out of 10). And Rob and I agree   
   about the first season.   
   I said in my synopsis at the end of Season One -- "But the first season is   
   always the practice   
   one - trying out different things. Seeing what works and what doesn't."   
           #55.  Rob indicated that the middle of Season Five wasn't so good.   
   Figure that the middle   
   included episodes 8 - 16, only #8 (Little Problems) and #15 (Mar   
   ied/Fishsticks) got a 6. The rest   
   were all rated 8, 8.5, or 9.   
           #59.  "Personally, I think that Xena was going to pull the Bill   
   Clinton thing . . . oral   
   sex doesn't count."   I had a comment, but nothing I could say could top THAT!!
