    I saw this as a kid and it really shocked me because obviously Xena was "the good guy" so I was expecting her to save Callisto. But looking back as an adult it's a wicked character moment for her. I love that she doesn't look away as Callisto goes under. Like everything else she doesn't shy away from something she's done that's terrible.

      Apparently, in the original scene that they shot Xena does save Callisto. But later they changed their minds and re-edited the scene. They thought the following episode where they switch their bodies would work better that way. I think it was a good choice.

      He's with you. You can feel him, can't you? I know I can, lost my Dad in 2014 to Parkinson's. But I still feel him with me a lot. Especially when I see an eye doctor, as he was an Opthamologist, and sometimes I can feel him so strongly, and being the kind of guy he was, I know he's there to make sure everything is done right! And I see another eye doctor at the same clinic my Dad worked at, they all loved Dad, and this doctor even uses some of my Dad's old equipment on me! And when I get a tattoo, I can feel him rolling his eyes. You'd think someone who was in the Navy would be a little less negative on tattoos, LOL!!! ;)

    • @MsJubjubbird
      @MsJubjubbird Před 4 lety +22

      Xena already showed Callisto mercy and Callisto threw it in her face. Xena had the same from Hercules after she sought revenge for the death of her family by killing everthing but the difference was she took the opportunity to change. Given how much destruction Callisto was causing everyone else then it was better that she die. There's wanting revenge and then there is going insane and causing everyone else to suffer. Thing is you see the difference when they are in the quicksand. Callisto is panicking and wild and resigned to her fate. Xena is determined to fight and change

    • @amasion2882
      @amasion2882 Před 4 lety +14

      MsJubjubbird : I think what Xena realized is that Callisto was basically insalvageable. She’s definitely mentally disturbed and truly doesn’t care if she lives or dies. She was fine with dying as long as she was satisfied Xena died, too. Once Xena freed herself, Callisto still has something to live for.
      Xena basically had to choose which lives to save and she couldn’t save Callisto. I interpret her not rescuing Callisto both as an admission of guilt but also resignation. Xena isn’t a great thinker or philosopher. She’s a warrior/soldier of fortune and, until recently, a violent criminal and thug. She has given up. She recognized that she destroyed Callisto and that Callisto can’t be saved.

    I do think the writers made a mistake killing Callisto in her first episode. The problem was that it began the trend of Callisto getting unnecessary upgrades with each subsequent appearance. Callisto was at her best as Xena's dark reflection, a living consequence of Xena's past misdeeds. Most importantly though, as Xena's equal.
    Instead the writer's felt the need to keep upping the ante with Callisto, going from human to immortal to Goddess to Demon to Angel... When all the time, the very best Callisto was the one that we'd met in this episode.

    I love Callisto. Still my favirite over anyone. I loved her delight in her evil. Lol. I don't know why at such a young age I loved her and her wickedness. As an adult, with all the LGBTQ subtext, I totally get it.
    That all being said, I cried when I watched this. The idea of my favorite being killed off. (Not knowing she'd return later on). I always thought, like Batman, Xena would stay true to her code. My mom helped me understand and future episodes, why Callisto had to die. Callisto had been locked up, already killed Gabrielle's husband, kidnapped her and used Joxer as a ploy. Callisto's vengeance outweighs her ability to see the error in her ways. She knew it. She could only feel her pain and nothing else. Xena knew it too. Callisto had to die or she'd always be a threat and she was. Not until later on do they go deeper into that and the sadomasochism of their relationship. Callisto is Xena's Joker. There is a Stockholm syndrome type dynamic here. Callisto needs Xena to justify her living. Twisted take on survivors remorse. I could go on but that's the brilliance to these characters. I'll stop rambling now.

      I actually think Callisto was in the right. Her grievance against Xena was justified. You can’t go around doing serious, lasting harm to people and not expect it to come back to you later. There was simply no way Xena could make the wrongs right and, really, she didn’t even try. Sparing an enemy’s life because you know you’re responsible for what they’ve become isn’t amends.

    A whole myriad of complex meanings and emotions are playing out at the climax of this scene.
    Throughout the episode, Xena was wrestling with the internal struggle of losing Gabrielle to her new husband, thus taking away the reason for her redemption---in her eyes. She tried her best to be happy for her best friend. I mean, after all, now she would not be in constant daily danger and having to go through the horrors and turmoil that Xena faces.
    But then Callisto returns, and with her she brings death and destruction as usual, and slays Perticus. This event has changed Gabrielle. Xena is horrified to see the beginning signs of what turned HER into a monster. Amphipolos was attacked, and those events made Xena into a warlord.
    Gabrielle, quite literally, snuck away and tried to murder Callisto in her sleep but ultimately couldn't do it. This weakness got her captured and almost burned alive.
    To sum it up, Callisto is a thorn---an infection in Xena that will not go away unless it is cut off.
    Then we come to this, they are both stuck in quicksand. Xena's smart thinking and luck of the whip, gets her out. But now she is faced with a choice. Do I save the raving lunatic that has, verbatum, told her that she will not rest until she has taken everything of value from Xena, including her horse, friend and home. "
    Do I save her? What if I save her, and she just turns around and escapes or tries to kill me right in that moment? If she escapes, Gabrielle will only try to hunt her down and get herself killed. That need for vengeance will never die in her. My best friend is gone and will never come back as long as Callisto lives."
    The other choice is heartbreakingly easy to make. Let the Earth take her. As skilled as Callisto is with a blade, she is at the mercy of Mother Nature at this point and there's no beating that. As unlikeable and dishonorable as it is, Xena allowed her to die to save Gabrielle from a life of hatred and vitriol. But with this, comes her own internal conflict. There was no honor in this. With Callisto's heinous actions comes with a level of respect she has for her dedication. "A Warrior should die with their boots on..." as Ares puts it.
    The guilt that Xena feels in the upcoming episodes proves that she would have loved nothing more then to rush in and save this young girl who she created. She is eternally sorry for destroying her life the way she did but she can't undo the past.
    The rest is history.

Lucy played in Spartacus etc. which were produced by her husband and had very Xena-like roles in Battlestar Galactica and The X-Files.

      Xenon Doro That’s not really true. Shiri Appleby, Rose McIver, and Gina Torres are just a few I can think of who had successful projects after Xena. Selma Blair can even be technically included. And it’s not always about being typecast. Sometimes, the actor may want to do different things. Hudson Leick appears to be happy as a yoga instructor just like Renee O’Connor is doing work behind the scenes as a director.

She did a couple video game voice-over roles too. But yeah, she's pretty much exclusively known for Callisto. It's by far her biggest role to date.
      She was never in a Schwarzenegger movie, though. You must have mistook another actress for her.
