Ok, so I'm a bigger Hercules fan than I am of Xena, but I love how these two shows collide sometimes. So I saved up a boatload of money and bought them both at once after all seasons were released. Season 1 of Xena has a few memorable moments. For one thing, Kevin Smith portrays Ares for the first time. I wasn't too thrilled with that monsterous incarnation of the war god in Hercules because I'd already gotten used to Smith's portrayal of the character. And what a fantastic job on his part. I also enjoyed the first appearance of Callisto. She's creepy, but you can't help but feel sorry for her. I also enjoyed the Herc and Xena crossover episode included this season as well. It was an ok season, but I enjoyed later seasons a great deal more because Ares and Callisto had more important roles to play. Not a bad first run, nonetheless.
