But it's because they never had the chance to link it to something important to themselves...like, I'll remember the Xena ep along with the myth so it's easier to recall.

Hee, exactly. I connect everything to TV shows. It really does help when you're as much of a geek as I.

The only thing I liked about the later episodes was that Gabrielle seemed stronger and more independent, less of the innocent girly girl...it also changed the subtext relationship a bit.

Yeah, early on sometimes it's a little too "Oh, look, there are some bad guys on the horizon. Stay back, Gabrielle, I must protect your virtue!" Though the stories were better earlier, I prefer their relationship when they're more equal, honestly.

That's so 'bloody' cool, you used "best mate"...are you British/Aussie?

Nah, just. . . odd. I've got no idea why I started using either, but 'bloody' has been around for a while and 'mate' is a rather new (only this year, really) addition to my vocab. I've a penchant for odd words.
