There are terrible episodes in a series and then there is this...
So
this episode starts off with a terrible title “The Black Wolf”. See what I
mean? Some of these earlier episodes are really hit or miss. It opens with some
tax collectors shaking down a family for some silver coins and the family is
all “Ahhh how we supposed to make a living” and the tax collectors are like
“Send your women to the street.” Really a much different tone since the last
episode but hey this was the 90’s.
|
Hi kids remember me? |
A group of Ninjas come seemingly out of nowhere and begin to
attack the tax collectors. Sort of Power Rangerish if you ask me which you
didn’t so I am telling you it’s totally like Power Rangerish.
|
Identity concealed! |
|
The 90's were all about NinJAS!! |
We find out that these “Ninjas” call themselves The Black
Wolves. Of course the King comes out and addresses the towns folk about how
they would all be punished blah, blah, blah Black Wolf something blah. He
threatens the town to give up their local hero or he will send them all to work
in the fields. So a cross between Ryan Gosling and Sean Penn pipes up and says
it’s him. The town people ain’t having it so they all start saying they are the
Black Wolf. WATCH OUT. I feel the main story coming on.
|
If you add two movie stars together you get a guy that looks like
he would steal your Mom's TV for meth. |
So
the King or the leader of the tax collectors tells them they are all arrested
and they have 7 days or he will kill them all.
Only reason Xena headed to the town was she and Argo needed
some new shoes. WOMEN BE SHOPPIN. Am I right?
|
"OMG I cannot believe you fit so much dead fish in there!" |
Well, there was some commotion because some rich ladies daughter be in the dungeon. She got bitch slapped by a guard and of course you know Xena and her Damsels. She goes and beats the SHIT out of the guards. Turns out Xena knows that old broad. The amounts of coincidences that happen on this show AMAZE me. It’s like somebody wrote it like that!
|
"Will you stop getting the shit kicked out of you I'am trying to shop!" |
I guess the king in this episode is named Xerxes not the
Persian but if they are named Xerxes they must all have dungeons. Anyways, Xena
promises this lady to get her daughter out of Jail. Strangely enough we have
yet to see a Gabrielle in this episode. Curious, very curious.
They
show the King bitching about the Black Wolves and he has a striking resemblance
to Peter Jennings. Anyways, Xena goes and talks to him and they come up with a
plan that the King hilariously named Xerxes will pay Xena 10,000 for the Black
Wolf and give her a new pair O shoes.
|
He just LOOKS like a Xerxes |
|
Get this man some Just for Men and he can play Xerxes |
Ain’t that quite the
deal? So Xena puts on a show gets arrested and sent to the dungeon. Would you
believe Gabrielle shows up and has to pay for Argos new shoes and gets told
Xena is in the dungeon? We all see where this is going right? Anyway down in
the dungeon Sean Gosling is acting all tough. His GF totally like knows Xena
and says that Xena taught her how to use a sword (which she refuses to teach
Gabrielle) and also taught her how to embroider. When Sean Gosling says “You
sew” Xena is all like “I have many skills.” Except of course teaching her
sidekick whom she consistently puts in dangerous situations and leaves to fend
on her own how to defend herself…just saying.
All I know is don’t dis Xena’s sewing abilities.
|
She also does macrame ---many skills |
Gabrielle
is wearing a new hat BTW. What a fashionista! Gabrielle is trying to get thrown into the dungeon but is
interrupted by guess who…. Salmoneus!
Gabrielle gets him thrown in the dungeon he
gets blamed throwing a tomato at a guard. Gabrielle eventually gets herself
thrown in the dungeon and has a heartfelt reunion with a woman I like to call
Xena. She’s a warrior princess but I bet you've never heard of her.
Well
shit is happening in the dungeon and Gabrielle gets down in there and starts
looking for her “Friend” Xena. Whom she describes as “tall and beautiful” cause
you know friend stuff.
|
See that LOOK on Xena's face! HOLY SHIT! She is also not happy about the hat. |
Gabrielle
reveals her stupid hat is actually Xena’s Chakram and her stylish belt is
*GASP* Xena’s whip. That’s a straight shooter we have on our management team
Tom. Oh and Salamoneus is like that’s the little twink that got me down here in
the first place. Xena is all like that’s my friend and he is all like whaaa you
have friends is she a warrior and starts touching Gabrielle's arm. Xena is all hands off of the lady man. Gabrielle
makes a joke about his hands on her tomatoes and Xena was not havin that. She gave him the I am going to beat the shit out of you look....little possessive there Xena? Anyway, Xena didn’t
want to explain the story and neither do I. BTW---the girl that’s in cahoots
with The Black Wolves is a terrible actress along with Ryan Penn just some of
the worse acting I have seen on this show p.s the shows acting is not remarkable. She reminds me a bit of a less hot
version of Kristin Stewart.
Also Fuck this episode….Xena gets everyone out. Gabrielle’s
hair looks more red than blonde to me. Gabrielle is probably one of my favorite
characters of all time. She plays the sidekick so well. P.S. it was the woman
she was the black wolf. Jesus H. Christ. Ugghhh…not the best episode indeed.
