I thought they were a miserable, sexist and not as funny as they thought waste of good writers and characters.
eta: I count not only the actual Pylea episodes but also all the dreck they left in their wake.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I couldn't really enjoy the Pylea eps much because the sets just looked so cheezy and Xena-leftover.
However, there are lots of good bits and bobs like Angel flipping out about sunlight, Wesley getting his sword wielding on, Queen Cordelia, Fred with bloody fist (Oooh, now I'm remembering the Stor), Numfar doing the dance of shame.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Pylea...if that had been in a less brilliant season, I'd feel both better and worse about it. As it is, I hate Pylea and most of its ramifications, but it's hard to drag down the average of how much I love the rest of the episodes.
Then again, it's tainting perfection.
OH GOD HANDSOME MAN. I think I only ever really asked Tim to do one thing to the show, and it was MAKE THAT STOP.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Numfar doing the dance of shame
Which we never see! We see the Dance of Joy and the Dance of Honor, but the Dance of Shame is in the finale, heard but not seen.

The previouslies may have had a lot to do with me rooting for Illyria when it was taking over. "Bleat at me no longer. We're done" was like saying everything I'd wanted to say to Fred for three years.

Pylea led to pancake kisses. Enough said.

With or without the previouslies?
