Yeah

This is my favorite part 😍😍😍

May He Rest in Peace.

@@RachaelTheFirboldDruid RIP

Yes. He was definitely the best Ares from any genre. Love and miss that man. ❤

@@strawberrysnow Nah, he was too busy directing ten Star Trek movies, but he was a good pick. 🙂

yeah but he actually proves it here.

I think it was unexpected. Ares always loved Xena, in a way, but more so than that he was always selfish and only working situations for himself. This was a selfless sacrifice on his part which he had never really shown he would or could do before. Loved this episode.

@@austinfry5977 i think the whole ending is totally stupid. The gods being killed off is bizarre...first starting with Hera and Zues (Hercules killed Zues). Just stupid in my opinion.

@@austinfry5977 Yeah in the past it seemed more like he just wanted to get with her to get some powerful offspring.

He didn't actually fall in love with her until season 5.

Me too! That move was dynamic! 😊

Kevin is on Tik Tok 🤨 lol

Oh sorry getting the two mixed up

RIP Kevin Smith the one and only legendary Ares.

Man has got a thing for many of them, but Xena was the special one. 55th like! 😊

Same

Best Season for me! 😊

Never. Amen to that.

@Luxury Top 10 Definitely! And one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing! Such a lovely lady!

@Luxury Top 10 The more I watch season 5 of Xena, the more I fall in love with Athena. (♡‿♡)

@Luxury Top 10 Very kind, helpful, caring lady. She deserves much more recognition. Such a talented actress and brilliant photographer! I wish her all the happiness and success in the world, no one deserves it more.

Absolutely beautiful, she was. 😍

@@b.y.o.p.9035 Sadly, Athena became just as petty and vindictive as the other gods in the end. Maybe if she'd used some of that boundless wisdom of hers, she could've realized that she was fulfilling the prophecy of her own volition and found some way to co-exist peacefully with Eve. And yes, Paris Jefferson is magnificent.

I sort of agree with what your saying. I definitely believe Xena loves Aries and definitely considered being with him, especially in her crazy days. But I think Xena always knew that he was and never would be good for her. He would feed her darkness. I think their love represents the toxic type of love. You can love someone dearly but it doesn't always mean they are good for you....

The ultimate bad boy, but he proved in the end that he wasn't so bad. 🙂

Yeah, all the Greek gods died or ran away. Xena restores Aphrodite and Ares to their rightful places because they were what kept the world spinning.

Aphrodite lost her godhood because someone stole it later but she stayed out of Zena vs the gods battle, Zena had no issues with Aphrodite. Zena gave ares his godhood back to make a balance between of love a war and because ares better the devil you know

@@davlin7685 Z like Zena ? C'mon Meg 😁

I would love for Xena and Kratos to meet. The original Kratos, not the current older one with a son. They wouldn't even have to fight, just meet and see how it goes. 🙂

Yes. Thank you!

Shame that was the only decent thing he ever did in his life.

Well not directly associated with love or its meaning. There was an episode where Aphrodite said Ares was the other side of her metaphorical coin. Neither love or war and thus neither could them exist without the other

he really was her undoing.

Paris Jefferson plays Athena perfect! Definitely my favourite.

Yes! What a stern look on her face! As if she was thinking "what an embarrassment you are. You give Gods a bad name, Ares." *headslap* 😊

Didn't expect to find a GH viewer here. 👍

This should've been a two-hour season finale. We probably would've gotten a fuller experience with more time.

Artemis is difficult to write well in a fight. She has arrows. That's it.

The interpretation of all the gods is poor Xena easily kills gods and the rest of their powers? The twilight is a regular plot for me.

yea she killed like 8 gods in one episode lol

Agreed. Xena became OP removing any tensions and stakes in this episode. And the gods acting like buffoons in the fight. They had to kill Eve to beat Xena so why didn't Artemis shoot Eve with the arrow first? Why did Athena just stand there doing nothing when Xena was catching the arrows? Why didn't Athena blast Eve instead of jumping towards her after Artemis dies?

The Gods are immortal humans. The minute you check their immortality, they become scared. The Gods were afraid. Their twilight was predicted, so they stopped thinking logically. They started making mistakes

Also you have to recognize that Xena for years has been contending with the 'gods' or 'godlike' entities, so she's had a LOT of practice, especially with Ares, either with him or against him. She contended with Hercules for a while and gained experience from that, Xena is an above average mortal, and it was been speculated that Ares could have been her father, making her a demigod. This 'twilight' event also could have meant a waning of their actual powers too, especially after Zeus and Hera's demise. Also with the gods here, they can get so used to their own powers, that they become complacent and have nearly no physical skill against an equal.

That line was SO comedic when Ares said it. Right after he said that, Xena just shoved him along. So funny. 😆

Romantic moments? As Xena’s wife Gabriel is effectively Eve’s 2nd mother.

@@sleepinggorilla who said romantic moments? 😂😂

Oh yeah. 🙂

Oh yeah! 👏👏👏 Never mess with the woman he loves ❤️

True Love will do that! Ares knew Xena is the happiest with Gabrielle. "Happy Xena" is all Ares wanted!!

Awww ❤️ That's a very good point 👏 I just can't imagine how can anyone does not see this scene for how a great evidence of the true love he had for Xena ❤️

Are you sure he looked at Gabrielle the whole time? 🤔 Even from the first time the episode aired it looks like his head and vision is between both of them. I didn't even realized he was touching Eve until the third time of watching it. I personally don't think Ares wanted Gabrielle to die. Remember, he admitted, especially during this season that if Xena wouldn't come back to him then Gabrielle would be the next best choice. Her progress from Season 4 into Season 5 is what made Ares pay more attention to her. He definitely wanted to keep Gabrielle around, even if that meant for her to still be around Xena too. Ares was fine that. Just my thoughts, but I like the way you summed up how he could have lied to Xena about not being able to save Gabrielle. That would have been cold, Ares. 😊 Season 6 could have started with Xena searching for Gabrielle in some new dark dimension. 🙂

Best scene ever ❤️❤️❤️

they are gods think like gods. A bad writing.

Greek gods were dumb.

They weren't so weak. I think they just underestimated the Warrior Princess, who now can take them out in any fashion she pleases. You're right, though. They did deserve better.

YES. We all do.

Yeah, she rocks.

Probably not. The poor lass didn't even utter one single word.

Also when they are in the tavern. That’s a good scene also!

Oh yeah. Seeing Discord getting her head sliced off in an instant was crazy good. I kind of liked her though. 🙂

@Lee Brown definitely that scene too, especially when Discord lost her head over the whole situation lol

"Murking". So funny. 😁

@Lee Brown Yes, even Poseidon was like "hold on WHAT?!! WHAT??!! NOOOOOOOO!" 😄

@@thejusticecanary8265 Discord losing her head in an instant was like seeing the monster at the end of a horror movie get his comeuppance. I kind of felt bad for her. 🙂

The interpretation of all the gods is poor Xena easily kills the gods and the rest of their powers? a regular plot for me.

@@ALEJO-rf7cf I was expecting Athena to at least have her signature spear and helmet.

Athena would be the rightful leader of the Gods after Zeus’ death.

She never spoke either

Yes, its really backwards. In true Greek Mythology, Athena was mainly the Goddess of Wisdom and War while Artemis was Goddess of the Hunt and the Wilderness, which included animals of course. So you would think that being around wild animals would help to increase your battle senses to aid in battle. However, with Athena being associated with War herself, I guess its kind of a neck to neck situation. I agree though. The Artemis here could have done better. Instead of Athena being embarrassed of Ares stumbling into the room wrapped in chains, she should have been shouting at Artemis with a "How are you the Goddess of the Hunt if you can't hit Xena with at least one of those arrows?!" 😁

I don't know about that. I'd sacrifice my family for a decent pizza and some ice tea.

More like Xena was completely destroying his family, so he thought "you know what, this ship is sinking fast. Time to make a last minute judgment call." 😊

Yeah, we all wanted to see that one. 🙂

Exactly. It was poorly written

@Lee Brown nah

@@F50Aircraft this was actually one of, if not my favorite plot line

We all have our good and bad moments. Just remember your good ones. 🙂

The time of the Greek gods ended. That is actually cool.

Agreed! I want to see the tavern fight too.

That ENTIRE hut battle scene was brilliant. Was it Hades, who Xena burnt up with that fire trick and wine from her mouth? Then she wiped her mouth with her tongue like she just tasted the best wine in Greece. 😁

My son says it was to artemis

She really did.

Frankly, it was plot armor.

Ares made the statement to Gabrielle that healing her was an after thought on the episode "Old Ares had a Farm".

@@Nepthu it's just because he knows Xena would be heartbroken

No, he didn't what he told her is that "she was an afterthought" and tbh I think it was only because he didn't feel comfortable then because she was thanking him for it, he was like: "cut off the drama already", he just didn't want to show that he actually cared, but I believe he did care!

I’ve always wondered did anyone else notice that 😂😂

Eve gave Xena the power to kill Gods. As long as Eve is alive Xena can kill Gods but if Eve dies then Xena loses her ability to kill Gods.

Not for THIS Warrior Princess. 😁

She got it from when Lao Ma healed her legs. And she learned all the jumping through trees from the Amazons.

Wasnt it at one point said Ares was also her father thus demigod

@@chrisharris6425 It was said in The Furies but Xena was in an "altered state" and Ares denied. In fact even among the script writers some considered he was her father and some he was not (it's said in the extras of the Exclusive Deluxe Collector's Edition DVDs).

Super Fierce Strong Thighs. Made for a Warrior Princess. 😊

Xena was one step above the peak of human performance with just a toe on the line that separates natural human abilities from the supernatural but not quite supernatural herself. Regardless of her seemingly supernatural abilities she wasn't a demigod she was just as mortal as Gabrielle but with enough time and training even Gabrielle probably could have reached Xena's level.

Because she’s more powerful warrior than them

The Reincarnated Spirit of Callisto. One of the best twists (for me) in the show.

Exactly. Bad ending. Badly written. Bizarre really. Gods just don't capitulate just like that.

She is mortal but Eli's God gave Xena the power to kill gods as long as Eve lives.

@@GaiaShield In other episodes, the gods could stop time and send Xena flying with a flick of their finger. Here, they forgot they could do anything. Xena won due to plot armor.

I agreed the plot of the twilight is regular for me because xena easily kills gods and the rest of their divine powers? The are gods not Jedis.

@@Nepthu yes I agreed and I remember velasca and his finger and Ares stop a army. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔.
