Xena heads to Northern Europe to meet Beowulf (story of Beowulf usually dated to circa 500 A.D.). Norse gods also show up. Gabrielle finds a bra somewhere (Ares Had A Farm), then gets a poem by Sappho (who was alive circa 600 B.C.) for her birthday after just missing one of Sappho's readings.
The chakram gets jazzed up. Christian mythology enters in a big way. Then another musical episode. Livia becomes Eve.
Screened at several film festivals, including New York International Independent Film and Video Festival (2001).
Directed by: Sean Kinney and Ross H. Martin. Co-starred Corbin Bernsen (retired cop Henry Spencer on Psych) and Astrid Devi. About the individual reactions of a bunch of folks to being stuck in traffic. Jennifer Lien, who plays a nurse in this, was Kes in ST:Voyager.
Here is the Accidents Don't Happen trailer and poster:
Xena takes on Alti in an altered state. Shortly after that, both Xena and Gabrielle are afflicted with fleas and fungi. They go to India for a while.
episode title: For Those of You Just Joining Us
(Season Five Episode Nine) - Sunny Day
Sunny Day, the Activities Director at Camp Wannachuck.
Staff of the show "Hercules" go on a corporate retreat at Camp Wannachuck to improve the show's quality. But the group dynamic isn't helped by someone's attempts to eliminate the staff. This is a continuation of the previous season's "Yes, Virginia, there is a Hercules", but O'Connor was not in that episode.
Gabrielle kills somebody, gets pregnant, and follows Xena to China. Musical Episode ensues (The Bitter Suite).
In the above video clip from "Fins, Femmes and Gems" (season 3 episode 18), Xena teaches Gabrielle how to fish while they are both under the influence of Aphrodite.
Armageddon Now Part 2
(Season Four Episode Fourteen)- Gabrielle
Hercules and The Soverign (evil Herc) are trapped in limbo for most of this, the main reason being Kevin Sorbo's aneurysm, which rendered him unable to work more than 5 or 6 hours at a stretch. Iolaus is sent back in time by Ares to protect Hercules' mother.
animated - direct to video production - voice of Gabrielle
Hera attempts an Olympian coup by releasing the Titans. Gabrielle gets changed into a bird and stays that way for most of the movie. So there is not very much of ROC's voice here. Joy Watson is the voice of Hera. She was a palmist in the Xena episode "Tsunami". Peter Rowley (the voice of Zeus) was Charon in two Xena episodes, "You Are There", and "Seeds of Faith".
Callisto returns. Also Xena lookalikes turn up for the first time and "The Xena Scrolls" is the first reincarnation episode. Episodes 12 (Destiny) and 13 (The Quest) were the direct result of the injury Lucy Lawless sustained on the Jay Leno show (fractured pelvis). Xena "died" and inhabited Autolycus' body for a while until Lucy recovered and Xena was resurrected.
Season 2 Episode 4 of XWP was "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". In it we meet Bacchus (Romanization of Dionysus), the god of revelry, wine, and fertility. The Bacchae (followers of Bacchus) are portrayed as religiously ecstatic and that is correct, as far as what is known about the sect. But the Bacchae were also portrayed as shape-shifters and vampires. There were shape-shifters in Greek (and Macedonian) myths, but there were no vampires. Closest thing to a vampire in Greek mythology is a Libyan queen who drank blood, but apparently did not gain eternal life from the practice.
Shape-shifting was connected to cannibalism. By extension, one could call the drinking of human blood cannibalism, but it is a connection that the Greeks never made. They mentioned munching on entrails. The preferred form for a multimorph to take was the wolf and a commonsense explanation for this would be a disease transmitted by cannibalism that caused howling and ferocious behaviour.
The Xena vamps are I believe symbolic. I am surprised one of them was not named Hannah.
The misplaced vampires in Xena (probably) led to a Buffy episode several years later about a powerful and ancient Greek vampire
named Kakistos.
CLIP
Stranger in a Strange World (Season Four Episode Five) - The Executioner
Iolaus changes places with another Iolaus from an alternate universe. Hercules tries to teach the other-Iolaus (a court jester) to be a "man" while fighter-Iolaus battles 'the Sovereign,' a tyrant who looks a lot like Hercules.
Judgement Day (Season Three Episode Fifteen) - Gabrielle
Part Three of the three-part story of Hercules and the Golden Hind. Hercules becomes mortal to marry Serena (who was the Golden Hind) Serena is killed, Herc is suspected and must become a fugitive and hunt for the one-armed man who killed her. (Am I getting this mixed up with something else?) Gabrielle shows up to help Herc.
Short tour of myths and legends from the general region of Greece. Cyclops, Prometheus, the Titans, Abraham and Isaac, the Amazons, and Celesta (who was entirely a Xena invention). Hades had no sister called Celesta. His sisters were Hestia and Hera. Thanatos, a terrifying creature of darkness usually represented as a winged youth with a lighted torch in his hand, was the god of death.
The character Callisto (Hudson Leick) is a human named after a legend, and was introduced near the end of the season. The Callisto for which the character was named was a nymph who, through a convoluted interaction with the gods, eventually became the constellation Ursa Major.
Laura Sue shows Rockford her writeup in trade paper.
Roc and Unknown Bikini-clad Person in Commercial that Laura Sue finds embarrassing.
Sports Quencher, the product Laura Sue is advertising.
O'Connor is a naive starlet from the midwest.(self-portrait?) and somehow her film debut runs afoul of a bunch of fundamentalist christians led by Rockford's old buddy and con-artist Angel. Jim Garner is funny and this is one of ROC's better roles in the 90's.
This was the second (of 8) Rockford TV movies (the series ended in 1980). Christine Romero (Sister Eve) was Susan Khouri in the ST: ENTERPRISE episode "Demons".
Again with playing the sister. The real Mary Ingles (portrayed by Sheryl Lee) was an ancestor of the Little House on the Prairie family. Look for Ellen Burstyn as Gretel. Not a terrible movie, but you have to like that sort of thing. ROC's character has limited dialog and is sold into slavery early in the film. As Bettie Draper is not very likeable, this turn of events does not induce sympathy.
