Questions Calore

I'm sure every fan of X:WP has come away from the finale with a lot of unanswered questions. I have several myself, and with no new Xena in sight, it looks like we're going to have to rely on our imagaination and deductive skills to come up with the answers. Below are some of the questions most perssing on Gary's mind. If you have any questions you'd like to add to the list, send them along, and I'll add them here:

1. *Did Gabby's contract for her soul become null when Xena agreed to marry Ares? When Xena reneged,did Gabby's contract become valid again,right until the end of the series?

2. *When Xena and Gab died in Ides of March,why did their souls go to heaven and not to Ares?

3. *How does Gabby die and what became of the Chakram?

4. *How did long strands of Xena and Gab's hair happen to be with the "new" Chakram? Xena was burned by Gabby in Friend in Need,and we did not see Gab cut any hair from her first. In Fallen Angel,it is Amarice who cuts a short lock of hair from Xena only. Gabby's hair was short until the end of the series,from Between The Lines ,and not including when she slept for a year in The Ring.

5. *Whatever happened to Xena's brother Toris?

6. * What happened to Gab's sister Lilla and niece Sarah?

7. *How does the Chakram work? It does many tricks and can bounce off flesh or stick in it.It can cut metal or bounce off wood.It cannot be by mind control,since Gab used it and even Callisto did,when she tried to kill the Oracle in CALLISTO. Also Princess Diana tossed it casually and almost killed the king.

8. * Today,there are two Xena and Gab couples,both obviously in love/married. That sums up the long-awaited subtext question for modern-day events,but not for when it was still years B.C. One couple is from 2000 years of breeding with a recessive gene resurfacing to show us the look-alike Xena and Gab. The other is the Clones pair,which has the original DNA existing from the cloned hair sample Alti had.This DNA is identical to the ancient Greece version of the girls. They are truly genetically Xena and Gab. The Question: How can two couples share the same spirits?

9. * Why did Xena make Gab go thru burning her body in FRIEND if she did not intend to be reconstituted?Why did Gab have to risk her life unnecessarily?

10. *Since Yodoshi kept the bodies projected into a reality,why did Xena still "exist" until sundown,AFTER Yodoshi was killed by Xena? How could he still be projecting her body?

11. *What about the gods that were left? Ares? Why doesn't he get Xena's soul,or even Gab's? The scroll was not destroyed until 2001.

12. * What about Hope and Dahak? This was a big buildup,resulting into nothing? We last saw Hope with the Furies in Motherhood. Dahak,who was supposed to take over everything must have retired.

13. *Why did Xena have to submit to Japan's customs after she saved the souls? She did not have to do that after she released the Amazons spirits/souls when she killed Alti(for the first time,that is).

14. * How,REALLY,did Gabby survive the lava pit,if she didn't die and was given life again? Ares says he is a trickster,and we saw two distinct splashes in the lava. Hope says Dahak saved HER,and doesn't know or care how Gab came back? How can Ares catch both of them as he caught Xena in Soul Possession? The time after splashes in lava was way too long after the fact.

15. * What about Velasca? Varia? The Amazons? There were about a dozen left in this "strong Amazon Nation" after HELICON.

16. * Who runs Tartaras and the Elysian Fields after Hades was killed by Xena? Are the people in either place able to take off at will? Even tho the Fates' loom was destroyed by Gab,things went back the way they were,but Caesar was able to escape before...why not again,and why not an army doing it?

17. * What about the Fates? They are still chained.Gab could have freed them in return for Xena's life back after FRIEND. A new loom could be made. Xena already gave herself to be avenged,satisfying the Japanese custom. She would have complied to the letter of it. Change the reality,and she will live in another reality.

18. *Why is there a broken old-style Chakram in THE XENA SCROLLS?We know it was broken when Callisto hit Xena in the back with it in IDES.Why is it in Ares' tomb? Did he die to be in a tomb? How? How did he really get out after Gabby blew up the tomb,burying it?

19. * Why does Xena's spirit come back(and from WHERE?) in SCROLLS when the Chakram is re-joined when Mel Pappas holds it.It acted like a magnet.

20. *In IDES,when the Chakram is broken,why doesn't Xena's spirit leave her body THEN?

21. * What happened to Eve/Livia/Callisto? Why didn't Xena and Gab meet her when they went east to Japan? It was the direction Eve last headed.

22. * Is Eve the one to pass down Xena's genetic makeup thru the ages?

23. * What about Virgil?

24. * How does Gabby pass on her genes? We don't see her even pregnant.Hope is all we see her have for children.There is nobody even hinted at in her life as a potential husband by the end of the series.

25. * Why don't the clones or the other Xena and Gab couple know the answers to these questions? Their memories seem okay today.

26. *Are we sure now that Xena and Gab are "lovers" as both couples? Were they that way when they were in Ancient Greece?

27. * Why didn't Xena use the power to turn an army to stone when she was attacked by the temple armies after she had Eve? Why not use the power in FRIEND?

28. * When Xena jumped into the lava,we saw her hit...a gout of flame came up just like when Gab and Hope hit in Sacrifice 2. Ares then goes after her to catch her AFTER the fact when he was with Joxer for many seconds. Why wasn't there any fire,lava,or obvious heat? How does this happen? We keep seeing a lava flow anyway for above.

29. * Why is there a heaven and hell angle at all? The Greeks believed in Tartaras and The Elysian Fields.

30. * Why isn't Xena reunited with Solon and Marcus in the E. Fields? Why did she have to go to heaven and than hell...why go anywhere else but there? Why couldn't she see her mother there?

31. * Is Xena a free spirit in every sense of the word? If she will be with Gabby forever,how does she get away with not going to the E. Fields,Tart, heaven,or hell? Can she just wander but the rest of mankind CANNOT?

32. * Why would Gabby want to give her own soul to Ares to save Hope,whom she wanted dead? She killed her once before in Maternal Instincts. Why didn't she tell Xena of the deal with Ares? Xena would have figured a way to get her out of it. Also,why does Gab never tell Xena of this,since Sac.2,three years ago? Was there REALLY a deal with Gab and Ares?

33. * Where is Death(Celestra)? Why didn't we see Death tap Xena on the shoulder in all her many deaths? Not even when Xena and Gab died on the crosses in Ides...

34. * Why were there so many Xena look-alikes? Princess Diana,Meg,and Priestess Leah....did they have the same forebears?

35. * Why did RenPics leave us hanging with so many questions? There are more,but I think these are enough.
