Xena: Warrior Princess: The Xena Scrolls (1997)
Season 2, Episode 10
6/10
The Xena Scrolls
25 August 2020
With Lucy Lawless still recovering from her injuries. This is by and large a clips episode framed around a pastiche of Indiana Jones.

Janice Covington is a no nonsense archaeologist in 1940 Macedonia. She is digging up the tomb of Ares. She also looks a lot like Gabrielle.

Mel Pappas is the daughter of a late world famous archeologist. She has come to help Janice in translating ancient writings but first she needs to be rescued by Janice. Melinda looks a lot like Xena.

Together they find clues to the Xena scrolls which might harbour special mystical powers that the Nazis might want.

Jacques S'er is an inept French military officer who also has an interest in the scrolls. He comes across as Inspector Clouseau and looks a lot like Joxer.

It seems they are all descendants of Gabrielle, Xena and Joxer. They need to hold off Nazis and Ares.

Is it real or just a pitch to a Hollywood producer?

Usually a clip show is done because the production is behind schedule, actors are unavailable or the budget has run out. This was done well and it was fun especially as Lucy Lawless and Renne O'Connor swap roles.
