Cast of characters:  Xena, Gabrielle, Amorese, Callisto, Eli, Brutus and Caesar.  I was really psyched for this episode and was extremely disappointed.   However, we found out several things in this episode...We now know for sure that Caesar is dead; We know that Eli has found that in order to heal you must have perfect love through stillness and emptiness. (Isn't that what Gabrielle was learning from Aiden way back in Paradise Found?); We know that Callisto is now in Hell and she agrees to be a disciple of...um...Lucifer? (He obviously must be the ultimate evil - did you see what he did to Callisto's hair?); We know that Gabrielle must have been taking sword fighting lessons between her meditations. (Amazingly she never used a sword effectively before, and now she can kill an entire squad of Roman soldiers?); And we also know that Callisto's IQ must have dropped severely since she told Xena everything about Lucifer's plan for Caesar, and gave Xena information that allowed her to convince Brutus of the truth about Caesar's megalomania. (So now Callisto has Lucifer angry with her too I'm sure).  And to top it all off, Gabrielle after a few months of incessant preaching peace and throwing away her prized Amazon staff, forsakes her "Way of Peace" for the "Way of Friendship" (does Eli know this "Way"?), and it looks like both Xena and Gabrielle both make it into Heaven.  End of story?...I doubt it very much since there is going to be a next season.  So this upcoming show "Deja Vu All Over Again" which concludes the fourth season is about their spirits in the present day? (Sounds like a Hercules episode doesn't it?).  Wow...   Well, definitely too much from me, I hope you enjoy this episode.  As always, please let me know what ya think. - Sounds@Xenafan.com

  15. Callisto- My that was a shocker now wasn't it Xena?  Don't bother...you've already done all the damage you can to me.  Thanks by the way.  Xena- For what?  Callisto- I wanted to cease existing and you did your best to help.  But as you can see, it didn't take.  They wouldn't let me off the hook that easy. Xena- Who's they?  Callisto- I don't know...whoever does the final judging.  They sent me to a place that makes Tuataras look like the Elision Fields.  They call it Hell.  Xena- Couldn't have happened to a nicer gal.  820kb wav or 406kb mp3
  16. Callisto- The one who runs things down where I come from...he's very interested in what happens in this life.  He figures Caesar will be very valuable to him...of course he also figures that you might be an obstacle.  Xena- Then he figures right...and I won't be the only one.  Plenty of people will oppose Caesar becoming Emperor.  Callisto- Oh you know about the Emperor thing?  Xena- The laurel wreath kinda gave it away.   I'm guessing that he'll announce it when the Senate reconvenes on the Ides of March.  Callisto- My aren't you the clever girl.  692kb wav or 355kb mp3
  17. Callisto- My aren't you the clever girl.  51kb wav or 26kb mp3
  18. Callisto- Yes, some people will be unhappy, but everybody has their price...even the honorable Brutus.  Caesar's going to give him Gall, and that should keep him smiling.  But it's you my darling...it's you that I'm worried about.   I'm here to make you an offer.  Xena- Forget it.  Callisto- Afraid you'll be tempted?  Xena- Yeah, that's right.  Callisto- I'll give ya a little hint.  Gabrielle is in Roman hands as we speak.  Xena- You lie.  Callisto- Do I?  My Lord gave me a thorough briefing on what has happened to you and Gabrielle since the last time we met.  I know everything about India and Eli.  Ah...so you're not the only clever girl are you now Xena?  Gabrielle is on her way to a Roman prison in the Apennines as we speak.   So...about my offer?  Xena- Get lost.  Callisto- Oh, but I'm not going anywhere, Xena.  1,164kb wav or 593kb mp3

  20. Callisto- My Lord sees everything, Xena...and you don't have to go through with this.  I can arrange it so that you and Gabrielle and all her   peaceful little friends to just walk out of here and no one gets hurt...and you an Gabrielle can live happily ever after.  Xena- What's the catch?   Callisto- Well there is one little thing...you have to drop your sword and join Gabrielle in fulfilling a life of love and kindness.  Xena- I'm still not interested.  Callisto- That's because you haven't heard it all yet.  I'm offering you complete serenity.  Xena- Go on...  Callisto- There's a reason you can't allow you and your partner peace...it's your guilt...it motivates everything you do...it torments you.  Invite me into your soul and I can purge you of that guilt...I can cleanse you of that shame...that drives you...I can give you peace if you let me.  What's it gonna be, Xena?  Serenity and happiness or another ride in that wagon with your friend Gabrielle?  Think of your vision. Xena- You're trying to tempt me from my "Way" by offering me peace.  Callisto- In a nutshell.  Xena- That guilt you're depending on...I put it all behind me.  Ya see I know now what I have to do...I have to be the best warrior I can be.  To redeem myself I have to fight evil with a sword...and that's what I'm gonna do...no matter what the consequences.  1,995kb wav or 951kb mp3
  21. Callisto- Alright let's keep it simple...I keep the vision from coming true and you leave Caesar alone.  118kb wav or 58kb mp3
  22.

  24. Gabrielle- Six million dinars?  Amorese- That's quite a temptation.  Not from me...from every killer in Europe.  Xena- So it's come to this...Caesar wants me out of the way so bad, that he's willing to deplete his fortune to do it.  i think it's time that i put an end to this feud between Caesar and me.  Amorese- You're not going to try to make peace with that slime are you?  Xena- No...I'm going to kill him.  626kb wav or 304kb mp3

  26. Gabrielle- Can you teach me to heal?  Eli- All I can do is try to teach you how to love.  But if you can love with all your heart and soul...if you become love itself...then you can heal.  Gabrielle- Why is love the key?  Eli- Selfless pure love is the only expression of divine perfection we have in this world.  It's the greatest power one can possess.   Amorese- Oh c'mon...the only real power is at the end of a sword.  742kb wav or 344kb mp3
  27. Gabrielle- Brutus...  Brutus- Hello Gabrielle.  Gabrielle- You doing Caesar's bidding again?   Brutus- Caesar believes Xena is trying to kill him, he has to try to protect himself.  Gabrielle- With me?  I understand...let these people go.  Brutus- My orders are to arrest you, Eli and his followers.  You'll be taken as hostages against Xena killing Caesar.  Caesar's promised me no one will be hurt.  Gabrielle- And you believe him?  Brutus- Our friends are at war...I'm sorry this brings us into conflict Gabrielle, but it's inevitable. Gabrielle- Of course it is.  811kb wav or 376kb mp3
  28. Gabrielle- You don't really think those crosses are for a boat load of pirates do you?  Brutus- He wouldn't lie to me.  Gabrielle- There's a first time for everything.  172kb wav or 85kb mp3
  29. Gabrielle- I did it.  Amorese- Did what?   You two are sitting there like a couple of bumps on a log, what could you have done?  Eli-  She did nothing.  Gabrielle- That's right I did nothing.  Amorese- We're going to be nailed to crosses tomorrow morning, and you two are bragging about doing nothing?  Eli- You don't understand, Amorese, in order to become a perfect vessel for love, one has to cease all activity physical and mental as well.  So only when you've reach that state of emptiness, that you're ready at last to be filled with love.  Amorese- Just in time to...you'll be able to love the people who crucify us. 1,053kb wav or 535kb mp3
  30. Gabrielle- I did nothing.  16kb wav or 10kb mp3 
  31. Xena- I had a vision once that Gabrielle and I would die at the hands of Romans.  It's bad enough that we could run into Romans anywhere, but if you and I were to Rome...  Gabrielle- Okay...but what if I were to ask you not to do this?  Xena- Gabrielle...he's an evil man and he's trying to kill me.  I have to take him out or die trying...it's the "Way of the Warrior".  449kb wav or 232kb mp3

  35. Xena- Beware the Ides of March, Brutus.  Brutus- Why the Ides of March?  Xena- Because on that day, Caesar will declare himself Emperor.  Brutus- I don't believe you.   Why would he do that?  Xena- Greed...lust for power...an ego the size of the Aegean.  Of course he plans to rid himself of anyone who would stand in his way.  Brutus- What are you saying?  Xena- He's too smart to kill you in Rome, you've much too much support there.  But I have first hand knowledge that he's been talking to assassins in Gall.  So...your turn.  744kb wav or 330kb mp3
