Shippers who like "Soul Possession"? |
Lead | |
|
I've been thinking that with our virtually unanimous bashing of Soul Possession in the current thread about the
X/A dynamic in SP and in a few other threads in this forum, shippers who actually like this episode or at least don't dislike it may be feeling too
intimidated to go against the grain of collective opinion.

I admit it . . . I love "Soul Possession".
Why? I know the storyline is a little messed up, in more than one place, but I can't help but love Joxer's heartache over Gabrielle, Ares obsession with Xena, and the line, "Yeah? Then how come you're still breathing?" Am I the only one out there that enjoys this one?

I'm not a big fan of the "modern day" stuff because I prefer when they keep the Xena storyline in ancient times. I guess maybe I'm the wrong person to ask about all this because I love ANYTHING with Ares in it lol. If he had appeared in the 10 commandments I would have watched it and enjoyed it SOMEHOW. =) Mrs.Eris K

I don't hate this episode, I don't love it, but I don't hate it either. I like some scenes of this episode and they are:
Xena coming in front of the Fates with her wedding dress. Xena kissing Ares(that was hot, you know it was) Xena and Joxer scene(something new, something borrowed..) And the reunion of Xena and Gabrielle in the future. ![]()

I don't hate this ep at all, just thought it could have been better, I'll happily sit and watch it cause it's a Xena and Ares based ep and i'm
all about that

Oh,It's one of my favourite I was so sorry that there "strings attached"

The story is weak, the explanations for Gabrielle's surviving is not convincing, the modern-day story lame.
But Joxer is great herein. Almost adult, not the "walking joke" or the jerk he oftenly seems to be. |

Despite all the vitriol I poured over SP in the other thread, there were two things I did actually like:
1) Joxer. As Sylvius Delmonte said above, he was mature and sympathetic (and mostly in-character!) 2) Xena's veil. The dress I can take or leave, but the veil was gorgeous.

I liked it.
And the 'shipper in me adores the "what would you have done" kiss (and Xena's looks during the wedding). I know some don't like it, but I thought it was PERFECT and complete canon confirmation of the Xena side of the 'ship. Yep. I'm a closet SP fan.

There are only a few moments where I can tolerate it...maybe even say that I like it. But those moments don't really involve Ares/Xena, unfortunately.

I really like this episode... yes it's not canon, but as with a lot of the history in Xena it's not canon either and i just choose to ignore it.
But I completely agree with liza, that line is fantastic! SO funny! And perfect expressions from both of them. Plus Xena in a wedding dress, which is gorgeous imo, and a veil is just great. Also Joxer was amazing in this episode, so caring and sweet. Plus the exchange between him and Xena was one of the most touching scenes for Joxer in the entire season imo. So yep I like the episode! |

Ok..I've only see it once and I have to admit I really liked it. I'll be watching it again shortly, so I'll give a better answer then.

Although I refuse to believe SP as canon, I do have to admit that it was awesome seeing X/A in a wedding scene together. I mean...come on, even in my
shippiest fantasy I can't really picture a traditional wedding for them so this was a fun way to see it on screen.

I like parts of it, but I hate parts of it just as much.....no probably more hate than like. But some parts were nice.

Um, the expression on their faces when he catches her in the lava pit was cute. His was all "women!" and hers was incredibly coquettish. She even kind of kicked her legs back and forth a little, as though she's thinking "yeah, he loves me." But it's not canon. Never, ever be my canon. |

I can't say I'm the biggest SP fan... But I do like the episode!
It made me laugh!! I also loved Meg's appearance, with "The Bubba Song" That was when I laughed the hardest!! Ohh, and of course, The Xena/Ares relationship!

Well, there's a whole lot more that I hate than I like but I do like the interaction with Xena and Joxer and when Ares catches Xena in the pit.

There are actually things I did enjoy in SP:
1) Joxer so torn up over Gabrielle 2) Joxer/Xena before the wedding 3) Xena's veil dress
