ALSO ALSO REDEMPTION. THE SHOW IS CLEARLY GOING FOR A SERIES-LONG THEME OF REDEMPTION, AND THAT IS ONE OF MY BULLET PROOF NARRATIVE KINKS I GUESS. "THERE CAN ALWAYS BE NEW BEGINNINGS, EVEN FOR PEOPLE LIKE US." I ALWAYS WANT PEOPLE TO REDEEM THEMSELVES AND MAKE AMENDS AND FORGIVE, I THINK FORGIVENESS IS REALLY GOOD THING TO DO INSTEAD OF HATING, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT PLAY OUT. ALSO I THINK IT DOES A BETTER JOB THAN THE SHOW ACTUALLY CALLED "REVENGE" OR ILLUSTRATING "WHEN YOU SET OUT ON A PATH OF REVENGE, DIG TWO GRAVES" EVEN THOUGH THAT IS THE OPENING QUOTE OF THE SHOW CALLED REVENGE.
IT'S JUST SO GOOOOOOOD! IT MAKES ME CRY WITH BOTH HAPPINESS AND SADNESS!
YES, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SETS UP ITS WOOBIES TO BE REDEEMED NOT BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN MONSTERS BUT BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS A CHANCE FOR THE STORY TO GO DIFFERENTLY. WHAT WITH ALL THE WOMEN AND THE REDEMPTION THIS SHOW PARTIALLY FILLS THE XENA-SHAPED HOLE IN MY HEART BECAUSE NO SHOW AS GOOD AS THAT SAID IF YOU DID SOMETHING BAD DON'T WALLOW MAKE AMENDS AND MAYBE ULTIMATELY FORGIVE YOURSELF.
ANGEL THE SERIES MADE ME SO FUCKING ANGRY, BECAUSE IT ILLUSTRATED HOW MANPAIN IS NOT THE ROAD TO REDEMPTION, AND YET IT STILL THOUGHT IT WAS SO COOL AND DEEP BUT XENA DID IT FIRST AND DID IT BETTER.
NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE IN THIS SHOW HAS DONE, AT THIS POINT NO ONE IS BEYOND REDEMPTION AND I AM SO INTO THAT AND IT SHOWS YOU HOW SEEMINGLY HORRIBLE PEOPLE ENDED UP THAT WAY, BUT IT ISN'T SATISFIED TO SAY "AND THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE TO SUFFER TRAGICALLY FOREVER".
IT ALSO MAKES ME THINK THAT THEY ARE GOING TO CHALLENGE THE MORALITY OF THE "GOOD GUYS" AND I WILL BE THERE AND THERE WILL BE BELLS AND ALSO BELLES AND I HOPE THAT NEITHER WILL BE BROKEN.
