Xena being absolutely terrified and almost panicking. We the audience were right there with Gabrielle in being a bit freaked just because if Xena is scared? It's bad. Way bad. Well, I was anyway...

Gabrielle's line about, If she's going to die she'll do it on her own terms (or something to that effect, sorry Whoosh! is down).

Xena's little war yelps, e.g when's she's talking to the soldier and then fights off a couple of them, she does a few 'Chi!'s and things. Cool man. In later seasons Lucy tended to just go with...
