I'm wondering if TPTB switched 'Death in Chains' & 'Hooves and Harlots' because they thought 'Death in Chains' was too close to the Hercules' 'Highway to Hades' episode that also contained Sisyphus?



Xena:
(X09/109) Death in Chains

Hercules:
(H24/211) Highway to Hades

---

Also contained Sisyphus:

Xena:
(X32/208) Ten Little Warlords

It's possible Joxee, but the way I remember the shows, Hooves was the first show where Gabrielle wasn't the totally lost and useless-in-a-fight character. And from then on, she was never quite so lost as she had been previously. In Death in Chains, Gabrielle was still being buffeted about by circumstances and unable to do more than watch life happen to others. I don’t “know” of course, but I think the sequence fits the development of Gabrielle’s character going from Death in Chains to Hooves better this way.

Except that in 'Death in Chains,' Gabrielle is wearing the Amazon necklace she got in 'Hooves and Harlots.' And if memory serves, her outfit changes up a bit too. So, to me, DIC should go after HAH.

I had to drill this because I didn't remeber the necklace well enough - thank goodness there are still thumbnails available - and they confirm what you said. Gabby does indeed wear that same necklace in both. I'm curious about what happened - and why. I'm still comfortable with the airing sequence - but it seems like more than a continuity error for her to wear a necklace that isn't presented until the next show when she's in the Amazon village being dressed in new garb.

I've only ever seen the eps in the order they were aired, and it wasn't all that bothersome.

Thanks Joxee.

You're very welcome.
