Bruce Campbell complained about that saying how it used to make him angry how shows like ER at the time got nominated for emmy's for best costumes and set design when all they did was call hospital supply while shows like Xena and Hercules who had hundreds of people working on sets, armor and other costumes that didn't exist in our world and where all original never got recognized.

I remember thinking... Gabrielle in the air with her hair floating... that was some freaking good effects for 90s TV. Still are.

[@KalEl290]

This episode is an example of seriously incredible writing, especially for 90s TV. Gabrielle's B-plot with the seemingly Christian cult creeps along in the background while the audience, just like Xena herself, are completely distracted by the proleptically meaningless drama in the A-story with Caesar. By the time we realise the stakes, the B-plot is revealed to the be the A-story, and we're left feeling shocked while Xena is left feeling guilty for having abandoned her best friend.

[@charlotteb6898]

The writers went on strike cause they were so poorly paid for it. It went downhill after that.

[@tjtenser7828]

Xena needs ways more props from the modern generation for its excellence in so many areas. It always chafes with me when some people dismiss it as simply a "cheesy action series" and downgrade it. Often I feel those comments come from people who haven't properly watched it and experienced just how truly dramatic and well written it can be. It juggles so many styles from comedy to tragedy in such a unique way and deserves way more exposure online especially with reactors.

[@astrius4125]

Well, Hercules was the stereotypical demigod hero. Seen it already 1000 times before. Xena and Gabrielle were flawed human characters, so there was a lot more complex and innovative stuff. Also the subtext. I don't think any producer or writer would have been brave enough to make even a subtext between two male heros.

[@Bardim18]

Well that's true but personally I prefered Hercules over Xena. Unlike Xena Hercules has super powers therefore it makes sense for him to be a match for most gods and monsters. Xena was ok when she was up against mortals like Caesar or Calisto but it was bizzare to see a mortal woman like her be a match for Ares the god of war himself. Well there was the implication that Ares was Xena's father but it was never confirmed in-show.

[@Bardim18]

@@heartbeat8706 Nope, not really. Dahak was more used in Hercules where he actually appeared in person, and the first half of Hercules' fifth season was an entire story arc dedicated to Dahak. Dahak didn't appear in Xena in person at all, only as a demonic fire.

[@jamesmercer1232]

The beginning of the Dahak story arc which will end in Hercules' fifth season. I do believe however that Krafstar should have stayed in human form with some demonic characteristics (fangs, claws, demon eyes etc) just like Gilgamesh in the fifth season premiere of Hercules.

[@Bardim18]

@Pro Token420 Yep, Gilgamesh did appear on Hercules but he was no hero. He sold his soul to Dahak and became a demon in order to avenge his family's death. Check out the fifth season of Hercules, it's really awesome, it gets into Sumerian, Celtic and Norse mythologies.

[@williamwilting]

This scene is powerful, especially the music and Lucy's performance in it. Still, with Dahak in mind, it's good that this scene wasn't as powerful as Hercules' fight against the possessed Gilgamesh, because he was controlled by Dahak himself rather than one of his henchmen. The themes of both those scenes have not been surpassed by any other theme in both shows ever since.

[@angelabariteau]

1:01 - 1:08 ..... the maddest I've ever seen Xena......the one time she wasn't their to protect Gabby. :-( And she feels the guilt too. As seen in other parts of this episode.

[@TrainedOldSkool]

I remember when the Dahak storyline started on Xena and continued on Hercules I thought there would be a huge crossover where all the main and supporting characters like the Greek gods would team up to finally take Dahak out. I was disappointed how Hercules and Iolaus took him out like any old monster of the week.

[@Bardim18]

Xena and Gabrielle were originally supposed to return in "Let There Be Light" to help Hercules and Iolaus defeat Dahak but they were scrapped in favor of Morrigan and Nebula. Also I agree on how disapointed it was for Dahak's true form to be a Power Rangers monster of the week.

[@TrainedOldSkool]

[@evavidal-w5z]

I remember when this was on TV for the first time in Los Angeles on Channel 5 then known as KTLA (also WB; Warner Bros). This was so frightening to me that I had to switch it over to another channel at random because the sight of the Messenger with the horns looked so demonic/Satanic and we were a Christian household. My brother was watching it and I told him to change the channel. The whole Dahok thing was so Satanic looking he is obviously inspired by the Devil - the fire, the impregnation of Gabrielle by the evil god (Anti Christ baby). I also recall that we never saw Dahok's appearance until some later episode of Hercules and he looked like a space alien. When the temple of Dahok collapses at the end of this episode, it turns out to be the ruins of Stonehenge. Xena was an amazing show. The special effects for this scene with the altar/fire were terrific and hold up well today doesn't even look like cheap CGI from the 90s at all. Wonderful show. I'm glad they never re-boot it or remade it because it's perfect as is.

His name is Yhwh. And Dahak more closely resembles Yaldebeoth, which Yhwh is mistaken for according to Gnostic Christians.

[@lukasbauer8783]

That is owed Just to the fact that they had written themselves into a corner. Technically Dahak was every bit as powerful as the so called "God of Light" (who really turned out to be a hypocritical tyrant and hardly better than his opposite number anyway), but they had No Idea how they should ever actually defeat him, so they clumsily nerfed him to be able to contrive a ridiculous and unsatisfying way for herc to beat him after all. Just as they nerfed the Archangel Michael when he (and by extension his slimy, disgusting boss) revealed himself as a sneering, sadistic, maniacal villain who had only manipulated and used Xena and her daughter Eve in the final season. It's always the same story, writers introduce some unstoppable uber villain and then realize they haven't thought through how to get rid off him again, falling eventually back on forced plot contrivances that inevitably make the villain much less impressive and even despite that the victory of the heroes still feel unearned.

[@lukasbauer8783]

​@@h5u7p5gt9No. Nothing to do with ",gnosticism". Dahak and the "God of Light" originally were Angra Mainyu/Ahriman (of whom the christian devil is but a watered down poor man's version) and Ahura Mazda from Zoroastrianism. Indeed the name Dahak comes from Azi Dahaka, one of Ahriman's demons, but for some reason, perhaps simple novelity, they used that name for an entity that clearly was supposed to be Ahriman himself. But the writers lacked the knowledge to do that setup justice and instead Fell Back in what they knew, writing the "God of Light" as the biblical "God" instead. Which ironically towards the end of the series increasingly lead to all the cruel, nasty and manipulative aspects that Ahura Mazda doesn't have but that Ole Jehova has in spades creeping right in so that the so called "God of Light" quickly started looking very shady indeed and not at all like that great a replacement for the old gods. At first it was more or less by accident that it came across that way with the nigh universally hated twilight of thr gods arc, that was so reviled by the fans that they ended up retconning the entire last two seasons of Xena away in the canonical comic book continuation, restoring the Olympians in all their glory. But in the last season they actually started to embrace it, with the Archangel Michael (and by extension his faceless Boss) being revealed AS a deceptive, manipulative, selfish user and abuser in no way better but possibly even worse than the old gods had been at THEIR wort, with Xena starting to realize that killing the gods was actually a horrific mistake, making the world worse Off. So she actually restores Ares and Aphrodite to godhood to mitigate at least partially the damage she did. All zombified christian fanatics should be glad that the show ended when it did, because of it Had gone on for another reason, it almost certainly would have gone a way similar to "Supernatural" and would have fully embraced what the last season only hinted at and played with, revealing the so called "God of Light" as the true, ultimate Big Bad.

The one where Hercules and Iolaus went to Sumeria to help Gilgamesh retrieve the nectar of the gods but then Hercules finds out that Gilgamesh was in Dahak's cult and wanted to sacrifice his sister Nebula, but Iolaus sacrificed himself to save her and then Hercules literaly beat Gilgamesh to death.

[@_.El._]

Same, but he technically is. Dahak is just an evil incarnate form part of the same Darkness Satan is. In Hercules, Dahak says he saw the world form out of nothing and brought the serpent of temptation into mans garden.

[@Bardim18]

​@_.El._ I thought that Dahak is actually the demon Ahriman from Zoroastrianism. This fits with Hercules meeting Dahak in Sumeria, which is near Persia since the Persians' religion was Zoroastrianism, and with the appearance of Zarathustra in Hercules. If I'm not mistaken, Zarathustra must be a central figure in Zoroastrianism. Also, another name Ahriman is known for is Dahaka. 😉 *EDIT:* I did some research and found out that in Zoroastrianism Dahaka is the son of Ahriman, not Ahriman himself. Also, Zarathustra is the founder of Zoroastrianism.

@@Bardim18 No, the episode where Xena and Gabriel were caught in the middle of a battle between heaven and hell.

[@Bardim18]

@@chris10180d But Satan didn't appear in this episode. He appeared in season 6 as the archangel Lucifer until Xena corrupted him into the Devil and tossed him in Hell.

I loved Xena I wish they would bring it to staz so all can injoy old and new alike

[@Cole_King]

Can you please upload the scene where Xena rescues Genia from getting killed, the episode "Many happy returns" season 6

[@h5u7p5gt9]

Dahak resemble Yaldebeoth in terms of goals. I wonder if they repurposed his name for the mythology.

[@Bardim18]

Dahak is from Zoroastrianism and Persian mythology. He's the son of Ahriman, who's the Zoroastrian Devil which would make Dahak the Zoroastrian Antichrist pretty much.

I think Krafstar abused Gabrielle off-camera. I mean, look and listen to her reaction to him, then watch Xena's reaction to Gabrielle's reaction to him. Their conversation moments later and the way the cult menaced over Gabrielle as she screamed further suggests that Krafstar/they did something to her after she killed Meridian. But where did the rest of the cult go? Why? I even think that Hope might be Krafstar's child, that Gabrielle got dragged by and held in the fire just for effect (per morphed Krafstar's penchant for theatrics and/or to make Xena lose her cool and then lose the fight). Plus, Krafstar can obviously turn into a non-human, and I've not seen any other gods go totally weak like preteen Hope did after sending the sword into the centaur. I doubt she's the child of a so-called all-powerful god. ...Did Dahak want another kind of Gabrielle's innocence as well? Was it too taken from her on that altar? (She was not a virgin, but she was still pure because she had only been with her husband, once, as far as we know.) Hm... Perhaps I am wrong? I'm only halfway through the third season...

[@ginay8800]

I was thinking the same thing. I thought Gabrielle said, "raped me," when Xena embraced her.

[@Shadowlina]

​@@ginay8800 Really??? Oh no...

[@vermiciousknid2456]

I missed the ending of this episode so I didn't know Gabrielle really killed that girl, I thought she killed that high priest and that's how she lost her blood innocence.

[@Trisof88]

She killed the girl but it was under confusion and deceit.

[@James.chalmers]

Xena has beautiful eyes

[@annika6354]

03:12 now he look better than before :-)

[@busywl69]

it felt a little light

[@mrwerewolfvampire]

Wait did getting possessed by the demon decrease his fighting skills? He was destroying her barehanded then suddenly his moves are slow and jerky.

[@Bardim18]

He wasn't possessed by the demon, he WAS the demon. He just disguised himself as human to manipulate Gabrielle.

[@allenculbertson8170]

Nice

[@Tori16454]

*looks at thumbnail* What is this a episode of Supernatural?

[@Ravenskullsman]

Was this the same actor who played Xena ex and solans father. It sounds like him just with blonde hair. Is it him ?
