Xena Subtext Reports by CN Winters

I love Gabby. Have a mentioned that?...Well if not, by the time you get done reading these, I'm sure you'll be quite aware of my love for the bardly one.  I got my nickname the 'Queen of Subtext' because of these reports. 

Each Sunday for three years I offered these reports to the now defunked Netforum Boards hosted by Studios USA who owned Xena: WP at the time. Sure there were lots of spoiler reports out there but I wanted the 'good stuff' - all the looks, all the touches, all the 'goodies'. If you like subtext then you'll enjoy these reports. If I get the chance I'll do reports for the 'missing episodes'...any requests for certain episodes not seen here just drop me a line and I'll start with those first.
