Marina:
Actually, I think that Callisto basically represents an un-reformed Xena.
She is just blonde for contrast. :) Remember, Xena started as an evil
character. Gabrielle was originally Xena's conscience, a la J. Cricket, and
not meant to have any fighting skills.
When they bring Callisto back in the next season, they better dump those
dumb green contacts she acquired when she became a goddess. I love her look
with blonde hair and brown eyes!
BTW, my son, almost 3, very into superheroes, occasionally pretends to be
Xena, complete with yiyiyiyiyiyiyi cry, but I have never seen him be
Hercules. :)
