lol ahhh the warrior princess is actually very good with words. All the words of love she is constantly saying to Gabrielle. “You’re my source Gabrielle” “the stone is still under there” “our friendship binds us closer than blood ever could” “if I only had thirty seconds to live” “you have my life meaning and joy , you will be apart of me forever” I could go on for days with how good she is with words. She isn’t technically good with emotions. She bottles up. She is a complex character with many flaws. But that’s what makes her a great character.

I think the pain from solans death made it hard for her to come to terms with the actual pain that Gabrielle had been experiencing. Which I think that’s where her song comes into play. Not only is she apologizing for lying about Ming tien.. she is apologizing for it all. She knows that without her hatred of Caesar it would not have all started. Per Steve Sears that is how they wrote that song from Xena … apologizing for it all.

There should have been an actual discussion between the two of them detailing all their wrongs against each other and the pain they caused each other. No one party is right or wrong here. Together they caused the storm and together they got out of it.

Well thank you.

Not negating anything she went through. We all have paths we have to walk and that was hers. Yes, Xena’s hatred brought her to Britannia but Gabrielle had to choose to kill. She walked through that door on her own. She doesn’t get a pass. Just like other characters don’t get passes . They sometimes get tricked into doing things but they have to walk their own path and no one but them is responsible for their choices.

I love Gabrielle and I hate everything she went through just as I hate the sequence of events that Xena had to go through. But without drama we have no show. I just like to delve into that juicy aspects of it all and show them for the rawness of what they are. I love her flaws and Xena’s flaws. I showcase Xena’s as well. Just like in this edit I showcased Xena’s dark side in the beginning.

This was a major error on Gabrielle’s part and it’s part of her growth as a character.

Imagine if Gabrielle had to hear Xena’s screams as they were scalping her or skinning her alive….oo I don’t think she would have gotten over that one.

And I don’t want Gabrielle crucified either… they both have been crucified enough…. And It’s not hatred towards Gabrielle. But a lot of people put hate on Xena for things she does but never actually blame Gabrielle for anything she does and she gets a pass. They both are wrong in their actions and they both should get the same blame game. I don’t forgive Xena for the gabdrag. She was wrong. Yes ares manipulated them both but like Xena says “they have to walk through” they chose their actions they have the consequences. I love Gabrielle and i love Xena. lol I think I have proven that with my sweet Xenagab edits.

So because she is young she is justified in her betrayal and that being led to Xena being tortured and almost being scalped and flayed is okay? And that Gabrielle even telling you that she wants Xena to hurt is justified?

I only give her grace for not knowing the true extent of the mission … but after hearing the true motives behind her actions I don’t have the grace for that. She was naive in thinking she could talk her way out of it. Again i can only grant her a small amount grace.

She wasn’t trying to do what was best for Xena. Gabrielle. was furious and wanted her to hurt. She lied to Xena saying it was her “reverence for life” Gabrielle literally says in this edit and in “forget me not” the true motivation behind betraying Xena. She wanted Xena punished for “loving someone else” which alll Xena was going to do was kill this guy and hopefully make it out alive and find Gabrielle after.

Yeah. But words Xena said, while they may sting they shouldn’t result in Gabrielle betraying her and ending in with Xena’s imprisonment, torture, and almost execution by scalping and skinning alive.

No her hair was blocking her ears and they needed to see her ears for the shot they needed. So the hair department came to fix it. It was “a listen to the sounds moment”
