The Doctor said:

I've always considered characters more important than the plot. The plot should exist to serve the characters, not the other way around. Motherhood is about the characters, while Twilight of the Gods is about the plot. Characters win.

Good way of putting it, Doc! ]]> feeds@yuku.com (LadyKate63) http://xena.yuku.com/sreply/354509 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:51:05 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Motherhood, or Twilight Of The Gods? ]]> http://xena.yuku.com/reply/354503/t/Motherhood-or-Twilight-Of-The-Gods-.html#reply-354503

Gabrielle: "What is the twilight?"
Xena: "The Fates spoke of a time when mankind would no longer need the gods and they would lose their power."
So,actually there was no "twilight" persay because all of mankind wasn't shown to no longer "need" the gods period and they... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (TheEpTalk) http://xena.yuku.com/sreply/353618 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 14:18:05 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Motherhood, or Twilight Of The Gods? ]]> http://xena.yuku.com/reply/353199/t/Motherhood-or-Twilight-Of-The-Gods-.html#reply-353199 Motherhood.

For one thing I agree that TOTG as a title could take away some of the surprise element in the plot. (Which reminds me, the original title for Endgame was evidently Death of Pompey! Talk about giving the ending away!) But there is another reason as well, and I was actually thinking about that the other day when pondering the various meanings of love on X:WP. (I'll start a thread about that, one of these days.) I think that in... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (LadyKate63) http://xena.yuku.com/sreply/353199 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 22:46:19 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Motherhood, or Twilight Of The Gods? ]]> http://xena.yuku.com/reply/353161/t/Motherhood-or-Twilight-Of-The-Gods-.html#reply-353161 Motherhood it's ok for me, because in my opinion the 'TOTG' it's too much directed with what was going to happen and this way could ruin a little bit the surprise of the episode.

Yep, very true. In that way, they fulfilled their own prophecy. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Aurora Goddess) http://xena.yuku.com/sreply/353124 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 19:39:22 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Motherhood, or Twilight Of The Gods? ]]> http://xena.yuku.com/reply/353122/t/Motherhood-or-Twilight-Of-The-Gods-.html#reply-353122 feeds@yuku.com (vanlord52) http://xena.yuku.com/sreply/353122 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 19:35:38 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Motherhood, or Twilight Of The Gods? ]]> http://xena.yuku.com/reply/353043/t/Motherhood-or-Twilight-Of-The-Gods-.html#reply-353043 Hmm. I think I actually like Motherhood better because it's not as direct or specific as Twilight of the Gods. Since it really was based around Xena wanting to save her daughter and not on Xena wanting to kill off all the Olympians. True, that was part of the plot but I don't think that was the important part. I don't think Xena would have killed the gods if they had not attacked her and her child. So, protecting Eve and those she cared about was the most... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Aurora Goddess) http://xena.yuku.com/sreply/353043 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 16:58:37 GMT <![CDATA[ Motherhood, or Twilight Of The Gods? ]]> http://xena.yuku.com/topic/16966/t/Motherhood-or-Twilight-Of-The-Gods-.html As I'm sure you all realize, many of the Xena episodes had alternate, or original, titles. While looking at the list, there was one in particular that bugged me. The original name for Motherhood was Twilight Of The Gods.

I think that Twilight of the Gods is so much more original and satisfying. It also makes it sound more dramatic. Twilight of the Gods was something that was referred to all season long, and to end the season with that would seem to have a sense of... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (vanlord52) http://xena.yuku.com/topic/16966 Sat, 29 Mar 2008 16:49:35 GMT
