Hey! I'm new here (as well as being new to the fandom and early on in the viewing), and I didn't see a lot of more active threads going on in this part of the boards...so I decided I'd open up a new one! (I hope this is cool with everyone  )Let's talk about 2x10 The Xena Scrolls and the unexplained ( correct me if I'm wrong!) plothole where Ares was trapped inside the tomb by Xena! -- Why did she do it? -- Consistency with later Ares plots in the show -- Comedic or slightly spooky? You decide!  (I'm not sure I'm knowledgable enough about the show and Ares's development and plot involvements to theorize based on things I haven watched yet...but I figure I can still have fun with the topic. :3) cobc |

Discuss anything about the show you'd like. A lot of the members stopped dropping in and posting, so I moved old threads to the archives. You can check them out here:
Any old thread in the Xena archives on this forum can be moved back to this board if anyone wants to continue the discussion, or a new thread on the same subject can be started.
Also, any old thread in the Xena YukuWhoosh archives can be 'moved' to this board, or a new thread on that same subject can be started.
Just let me know which old threads you'd like to start up again, and I'll get on either moving it, or recreating it.

I'm wondering if that episode is now moot. Because the new Chakram would have to be turned back into the old one. Not sure if that is possible. (Unless there is a third Chakram?) Perhaps trapping Ares happened on a parallel universe? TPTB have used the theory of parallel universes to explain how Xena has met a lot of historical people that are years apart.

Re: old threads: Thank you so much for letting me know about that! I have to go now, but it should be fun to go through them. And that's awfully helpful to offer to reopen them, thanks. :3 How active is the forum these days, by the way? I'm excited to start up posting here! I haven't been in XWP circles long but the reputation is big. And I know that a lot of the XWP fandom is active on tumblr - especially newer fans like me, who have been in the fandom less time than they've been on that (fairly young) site.  cobc <3 |

You're very welcome.
The 'Off Topics' board is the most active one. Some of us go back to the days when we posted on Oxygen's Xena board. I go back to the Official USA Xena forum. I mostly lurked there though.
I think the new social networks have been making forums extinct. I like forums much better though. I also post on IMDb's Xena board. I'm India_Ana there. I think if the show were to start airing in syndication again, more members would join up, and the board would become more active, like the old days. Those of us from the OxyXena days have discussed the show a lot, so that is mostly why we haven't been so active on this board. It does need new blood to liven things up again.

Welcome! Love to see more people posting . And I agree about forums and that if the show aired on syndication there might be more activity on Xena boards.

I remember there were discussions about what happend and how Ares might have escaped, but I don't remember that TPTB ever officially (or unofficially) addressed how he escaped the cave. Or perhaps he didn't. It's been a long time since I viewed that show, but as I recall it was set in the future, so maybe he didn't. If you allow for both Xena and Hercules shows though, I think Ares appears shows where the timeline post-dates the scrolls ep. Sorry - it really has been a long time.

It leaves you to wonder how he got out...even as a god, he needed someone to open the way for him, so maybe we can assume that the clones had something to do with it?

Earthquake? Grave robbers? Land developers? Sinkhole? One of the other gods? Anything or anyone could have let him out.
