|thoughts = }} | |thoughts = Autolycus is back. I think it will always be a fun time when Bruce Campbell shows up. Autolycus and Xena haven't met before, but Hercules is brought up a lot because he's their mutual connection who brought them together. Though I'm a bit fuzzy on exactly how that happened. Did Autolycus just come up during discussions one of the times we know they were together? Or prior to this episode did Xena track down Hercules and ask if he knew any good thieves, but Hercules himself was too busy to help? | ||
Sinteres was a silly looking but effective villain. I should've been expecting the guy Autolycus was impersonating to show up, but it surprised me. Then his real strength is knowledge of pressure points, so he and Xena have a goofy-looking fight where they're essentially poking at each other. | |||
Double subverted expectations at the end. I was thinking the thing in the chest seemed a lot like the Ark of the Covenant from [[Raiders of the Lost Ark]] except backwards, in that you _want_ to stare at it to survive. And then... it straight up IS the Ark of the Covenant after all.}} | |||
