Because of the frankly stunning amount of horrid things in this episode, I won't waste time nitpicking each little detail. Let me instead focus on the larger problems... The story stinks; perhaps if they'd set it somewhere other than in the middle of the Acid Trip Ocean, it could have worked. But as it stands, not even a touching love story between Gabrielle and Joxer look-alikes can make me stand this. I hated the wannabe Goddess, Discord, already, and seeing this episode plus the previous ones this season is enough to sincerely change my thoughts on Aphrodite (matter of fact, if it weren't for that scene in that Hercules episode where she rides around naked on her horse, I probably wouldn't like her at all now.)

I would keep going, but I'm just too disgusted. No, wait, my task here is not finished. There is one more matter that I simply must address, because the writers, in their LSD-induced scribings, missed it entirely. Aren't all the greek Gods supposed to be dying or something? I guess Discord and Aphrodite aren't worried about death. Or maybe they're not actually Greek Goddesses. That would explain Xena's COMPLETELY OUT OF PLACE and RATHER FOOLISH threat of "Unless you want a taste of my new Chakram?" Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't the BABY IN YOUR OTHER ARM the God-killing weapon of the day?! I guess "Unless you'd like a taste of my baby?" wouldn't have the same impact.

For the record, I found exactly two things in this episode amusing. First is when young Hagar throws a paintbrush into a woman's head. The second is near the end of the episode when Aprhodite and Discord are fighting and one of them yells "I'm gonna kill you! I'm gonna make you eat sand!" Therefore, someone with the patience to wade through this tripe can be nice and put the 5 good seconds of the episode together and then follow it with something tolerable, like... Anything else.
