Episode 6 -- 11/6/00 -- The Abyss

Xena and Gabrielle are forced into a deadly confrontationwith cannibals when they go in search of Virgil (William Gregory Lee).

I've just seen "The Abyss." It contained, for me, themost heart-breaking scene. Gabrielle's been keeping something secret fromXena and the revelation was so painful, I just turned it off after thescene was over. I'll go back and watch the end of the show later.

So I went home last night and put the episode back in.There was an interim scene and then I was hit in the heart again! Gabriellemakes a request of Xena and I lost it! I wound up sitting on the floorwatching through to the end, cuz I just couldn't get close enough to thescreen (grin)

I rarely make posts about upcoming episodes, but whensomething affects me this much, I just want to let people know somethinggood is coming. I don't want to give more away cuz then you won't feelit the same way I did.

I wonder if Renee knows what a corn dog is? (very evilgrin)
