Story line
Cast
Best bit
For me the whole episode is the best bit as Michael Hurst did a great job of Directing this visualy stunning episode. The amazing climax to the episode, the sea battle of Actuim, has to be the one of the most memberable high lights of the episode.
Look out for
Trivia
Song used for the Flirting Scene between Antony and Xena is by Natalie Merchant and is called 'Carnival'. It wasn't planned to be entered into the episode. While the ep was edited they place the song in for a filler but they ended up liking the music so much they kept it in.
(Song from the Destiny was written by a new-Age Celtic group called 'Mouth Music'. Both tracks can be heard on Yahoo Launchcast which also has the music vid for 'Carnival')
