Maybe. I did see the Xena Trilogy, and no Argo wasn't present. She had a different horse, but this was before the series so we can presume she may have had Argo the whole time. But I like the idea that Xena found her just before the first episode. I think In Sickness and In Hell touched on how she found Argo.

Aww I see. So perhaps she did find Argo at some point between leaving Hercules and the start of her series.

Yeah they did better casting actual actors for the gods. Hera wasn't seen until very late. I didn't mind the eyes, but I found she was better in person. I do recall she appeared in a mirror in a Hercules movie. 

I'm glad they casted actors. It would of gotten old fast to keep not showing them. We didn't ever meet Hesta in the flesh I don't think?

Katie that's a good theory. I can see it.

Yeah Hestia never appeared at all.

[Tim]

Fascinating.

[Trinity]

It's interesting how many gods were not seen. Although I kind of like Hesita being more unknown. It feels on brand given who she's the god of to kinda be more behind the scenes and not get involved.

[Tim]

Lots of gods.

[Katie]

Quite a lot. So many different ones. I'll never forgive Charmed for using Hecate as the Queen of the Underworld when she's the goddess of magic.

I did like how Xena and Hercules handled different gods, but some were not overused.

[Tim]

Charmed got nothing right in this regard.

Sam Raimi clearly did more research.

[Melinda Halliwell]

Yeah, Xena and Hercules portrayed Greek gods and goddesses better than Charmed did in my opinion.

Kevin Smith (rip) and Alexandra Tydings we're perfectly cast as Ares and Aphrodite then.

Very well cast. They were so good in the roles.

I have to agree they really didn't.

[Tim]

A different Kevin Smith than the director.
