And now the second installment in our "Ambiguities of fact" series of polls, in which we ask our members for their own personal opinion on facts
that were left ambiguous in the X:WP canon. This series explores ambiguities of fact only -- that is, things that
may be factually true or not true in Xenaverse (for instance, had Xena ever seen Ares in his true form before The
Reckoning). It does not deal with ambiguities of intent (such as, "did Xena intend to commit suicide in Sins
of the Past") or possibility (such as, "would Xena have killed Tataka in Gabrielle's body if nothing else could be done").
Please remember, the answer should represent your personal opinion only -- not what you think TPTB intended to show.
We came up with a list of 20 questions which I will be asking in random order (using numbers picked by a numbers generator website).
A note on the options: some people have questioned whether "probably true" and "almost certainly true" is the same thing. For the purposes of this poll, let's assume that "probably true" means somewhere between 60% and 95% probability, whereas "almost certainly" is 95% or higher.
In this second poll, we explore the question of whether baby Hope killed Goewin, the Knight of the Pierced Heart, in Gabrielle's Hope. While Xena certainly believed she did, we did not see Goewin's death onscreen, and the castle was full of secret passages so that, theoretically, someone coming into the room, killing Goewin, and then stealing away unnoticed was a possibility.
So, where do you stand on Hope killing Goewin? Do you, personally, think it's definitely true, definitely NOT true, or something in between?
Please note that this question deals only with the fact of whether Hope strangled Goewin, not with Hope's intent or moral guilt. So, if you believe that she killed him by accident because she was playing with the chain and didn't know her own strength, you should still vote "true."
