SPOILERS-Which episode has the most subtext in it?
Hey all you groovy xenites!
Im new on here and am so glad I've found a place where I can talk about subtext with fellow xenites ;)
As I am from London, I haven't see all of season 4 :( but I have seen season 5! :) (long story)
Anyway I think there are so many great eps that have a lot of subby in them but I would have to go with:
One Against an Army as their looks, touches and dialogue through out the ep was fab.
Oh and the great A day in the life which is of course a classic, in the way in which they were playful with each other and teased each other and the cute scene at the end!

(Edited title to include spoiler notice.) Red

Which episode has the most subtext in it?
i have to agree, OAAA and ADITL are very subtext heavy. two of my favorite episdoes too. :) there's some nice moments in paradise found as well.


i have to say, i'm glad to see this subtext forum pick up now that all the SUSA people have moved in. it was really dying for awhile there.

Re: Which episode has the most subtext in it?
I'll agree that OAAA was probably the episode with the most subtext. It was truly wonderful. The scene between Xena and Gabrielle at the end of "Ides of March" still takes my breath away. I wish TPTB had allowed a kiss in that scene - it would've been entirely right.

The fifth season was a little disjointed - I think the whole production was thrown off track with Lucy's pregnancy. I actually don't remember much detail about the fifth season except that we spent a whole lot of time getting that baby born and then losing 25 years in the blink of an eye.

Some of the sixth season episodes have been very nice - the Norse trilogy was especially touching. (You'll love it when you get the chance to see it.) "You Are There" absolutely put the "are they or aren't they" question right in prime time. Too bad the battery ran out of juice. *G*

Re: Which episode has the most subtext in it?
I Heard today while watching the View that next weeks Friends episode has a Lesbian kiss between Jennifer Annistons character and someone.Meredith Vierra mentioned shows with lesbian undertones and mentioned Xena.This kiss on friends will be in primetime(not that its a first for TV)but Xena was never allowed to be risque without being censored and all.I,ll never understand TPTB on all that.

Lucy on HOD dance:"You can see me sort of stalking around her,looking ridiculous with my knees really bent to try to be down at a manageable height to work with Renee"

TGYK was the most one I've ever seen, and then there's WFC.

Ummm, how about "Paradise Found"? I seem to remember a certain bard getting a full body rubdown from a certain Warrior Princess.

Re: SPOILERS-Which episode has the most subtext in it?
I haven't seen very many Xena eps, but there was one in a cave (The Abyss?) in which Xena is holding Gab in her arms. Gab is sick/hurt and Xena holds her, kissing her hair, being so loving and tender .. It is really a beautiful moment. I was hooked on the show after watching THAT ep.

The Sappho one was pretty sweet, too. Although i couldn't tell by X's reaction to the poem whether she was surprised by the romance in it. She reacted strangely when Gab read it out loud.

Re: SPOILERS-Which episode has the most subtext in it?
Yeah, Jen. There was a lot of discussion about that particular scene right after it happened. As a closet romantic, I can come up with all sorts of sweet things to do and say, but then I feel awkward and embarrassed when I actually pull them off. That's how I took Xena's reaction. I think she wanted to be sweet and romantic, but then felt like a goon when she got in the moment. That or she just did it because Gabby loves that romantic stuff, but wasn't really comfortable with it herself. Kinda like going shopping with my roommate during a Cowboys' game. I'm not too happy doing it, but if it make her happy I can suck it up...

Goe - *laughinggg ... yah .. i know what you mean. A lot of my grand ideas about romance make me all goofy and strango when they actually materialize. Good point.

Whaddya mean she grabbed a handful of breastplate in AS? How the h*ll did I miss that? And I don't have it on tape either. D*mmit!

I'd say we've reached a pretty good concensus here. Great job to all!!!!!

Re: SPOILERS-Which episode has the most subtext in it?
Oh yeah. When Gabby was all stoned on henbane laced nutbread... as Xena was helping her up, she grabbed a handful of breastplate. At least, I THINK that's the episode it was in.

Look out everyone... she's thinking again.
