CONSIDER THIS A WARNING!
These babies cover March 1998...that's why we call it an ARCHIVE!Last update: 06-08-98
03-17-98. It was earlier
thought that Meleager might show up in the first part
of season 4 but now it is looking bad for Meleager. If
he does return for the 4th season, it looks like it
will be in the later half. And to think we are still
waiting for Perdicus' return!
03-17-98. The episode called
FISH SHTICKS is getting a new name! It will probably
have the word diamond in the title.
03-13-98. Airing schedule
changed! VANISHING ACT was switched with TSUNAMI. Looks
like we get Poseidon Adventure before the western about
Autolycus recovering his GOOD NAME. After TSUNAMI we
will have the exciting season-ender two parter. We at
WHOOSH are looking forward with great anticipation
about this season-ender. We want EVERYONE to watch
especially the first part. More detailed instructions
will be given later! Oh, and just to sweeten the pot,
the first part is written by Steve Sears, so you know
it's got to be good!
03-13-98. Julius Caesar will
return to the Xenaverse in season 4. This is great news
to all those Caesarophiles. Caesar is becoming a
welcome adversary in XWP's mature years. Let's hope
they don't wimp him out like they did Ares in the 2nd
season. Ares started out really fascinating and tough,
but he was soon reduced to a buffoon easily manipulated
by everyone and their sister! It was one of the most
disappointing things about the second season. Now that
they have drawn from the Callisto well a tad too much,
perhaps they will learn some lessons from Ares and
Callisto's development and turn JC into the most
memorable Xena nemesis of all time!
03-13-98. A YEAR OF LIVING
RAIMIOUSLY! WHOOSH sources have confirmed that Ted
Raimi is signed for a 22 pay or play deal with RenPic
for the 1998-99 season (4th of XWP and 5th of HTLJ). It
has not been clarified whether this is exclusively for
XWP or whether there will be sharing of Raimi from
among the sets. This season Raimi had an 11 show pay or
play deal. He appeared in 8 episodes of XWP and 2 of
HTLJ, leaving him one shy of his contract (don't worry,
he was paid!!!). However, he may appear in either of
the two Autolycus upcoming episodes, because his
presence in either of those episodes has been neither
confirmed or denied.
03-13-98. After MY FAIR
CUPCAKE, HTLJ's will have four more shows until its 4th
season ends. These four will include TWILIGHT (which
may feature Callisto and may tie in somehow with XWP's
two parter season ender SACRIFICE Parts 1 and 2) and
WAR WOUNDS, which is discussed in more detail below.
One of the remaining episodes will most likely involve
a Hindu diety. This Hindu episode was mention in TV
Guide last fall and has yet to be aired. It might have
been scheduled to be shot later for the season due to
Sorbo's injury OR it may have been shot earlier and
held back for some reason OR it might have been shelved
completely before filming. We must wait and see.
03-13-98. XWP is currently
filming the last episode of the 3rd season. We have no
idea what the name of it is so we are calling it
SACRIFICE II. I was disappointed that they were not
going to run a summer cliff hanger (reminiscent of what
STTNG when did when it finished its shakey third season
and after that it was like a bat out of hell in its
growth...can you say BORG?), but on the other hand, we
now do not have to wait all summer to see the
resolution of what looks to be an interesting twist on
this Dahak/Hope/loss of blood innocence/Rift/Callisto
as goddess thing they have appeared to have painted
themselves into a corner with. And the best news is
that Joxer appears nowhere near the two parter
season-ender. It looks like they are using Joxer as
comedy
fodder. And this trend looks like it will continue,
especially with Rob Tapert's mention at the Burbank II
Con (01/98) that there will be more comedies in season
4 and
Ted Raimi's announcement at the St. Louis Con (02/98)
of his 22
pay or play deal for the 4th season (this has been
confirmed BTW, but not whether it will be akin to Bruce
Campbell's sweetheart deal of working both HERK and
XENA and a pilot and some directing chores).
03-13-98. Looks like HTLJ's
ancient take on returning unpopular war veterans called
WAR WOUNDS will also have in the cast Karl Urban
playing Cupid and Kevin Smith playing Iphicles. If you
remember, Gina Torres was also cast as Nebula in this
episode. It was filmed last month.
