Xena did not kill Hope.
Xena knew Hope needed to be killed.
Hope was an evil vessel.
Eve was a mortal child gifted from angel Callisto.
Livia was simply stricken with darkness like Xena.

Now about Xena did not give Hope a chance--I must disagree. Xena gave Hope a chance between her birth and Goewin's death despite all the signs pre-birth that the baby was an evil vessel.

And yes Gabrielle should have been angry but not at Xena. Her anger should have been at Dahak maybe even some anger at herself. Xena did not assault Gabrielle, Dahak did. Gabrielle let her curiosity of the "one god" lead her to follow Krafstar who led her into a temple where she ended up in a cult ceremony, lost her blood innocence and was raised atop Dahak's flame.

Gabrielle didn't help Livia become Eve, neither did Xena. When Xena prayed to Eli save my daughter, I can't it --Eli showed Livia she was Eve.

What do you think?

I think it was a miracle given Xena's flaw of darkness and temper that she ever forgave Gabrielle for Hope killing Solan.
I think Gabrielle's intentions were good to try and keep Xena from doing something she'd regret but her actions were unwise. Her going on her own to see Livia for example ended her in danger prompting Joxer to try and save her which ended in Livia killing Joxer. Pretty much the same rescue when Gabrielle went to see Callisto after she killed Perdicus and Xena got tied up and Joxer saved them taking an arrow just lucky Callisto didn't kill Joxer but Livia did...my point is both were Gabrielle rescue missions.

Livia wasn't special merely a carbon copy of darkness like Xena's darkness and redeemable like Xena.
Eve, however --was special after baptism she was chosen as a "messenger."

So I think that is how they showed it, wrote it and like or not ---it was as it was.
