   Re: "Callisto" --- Reviewing a Re-viewin

           After reading my post on the episode, I decided to watch it again.   
   Probably been 5 years of since I went through the series.  And of course, I   
   noticed a few things I either missed, or didn't mention.   
      
           The first thing I noticed was the sword fight between X&C wasn't as   
   exciting as as it first seemed to be on previous viewings. They would give   
   their war cries, and ride toward each other but didn't seem particularly in   
   a hurry.   
      
       Then when Callisto sliced (more like scratched) Xena's upper arm with   
   her sword, as hard as she swung, it should have cut her arm to the bone.   
      
           Next,  after Callisto rode away with Xena's Chakram, Xena and   
   Gabrielle were talking, and in the background Callisto's men were still   
   fighting the townspeople, and neither Xena nor Gabrielle seemed to care!   
      
           The ladder fight between X&C was not very well choreographed.   
      
       But I have to say that Gabrielle was just as cute as I remember! A real   
   sweetie.   
      
           I also recall how mellow Xena's voice was for being a seasoned   
   warrior. Just doesn't sound right.

   Got rushed and forgot a couple things --   
      
       After Xena used her Chakram to cut the rope suspending Gabrielle and   
   Callisto ended up holding on the end of it, her guy (Theodorus, as we find   
   out in a future episode) was going to move the torch but Callisto told him   
   to let it burn. When it did and she was falling, Xena grabbed the end,   
   keeping Callisto from falling to her death (or serious injury).   
      
       That did not make sense. If Callisto wanted to die, why didn't she just   
   let go of the rope??   
      
           And after that - all of Callisto's men were in chains.   
           How did THAT happen?   
           Who brought the chains?   
           Who captured them, and kept them from running away?   
           What happened to Joxer?
