Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Hands down the most popular character on the show was Vera Farmiga as Catlin.
  • Fanon Discontinuity: "Sweet Bridget" does not exist.
  • Fridge Logic: Plenty!
    • In "The Chosen" a young boy believed to be the reincarnated father of the Druids is taken from his parents to the island of the Druids, causing much grief to his parents. After his father is killed by assassins, his mother travels all the way to the island where she is welcome to live among them.
    • In "Banshee" the gang help a young woman who foretells death return to her home in order to protect her from superstitious folk wanting to kill her. We never learn why she left in the first place.
    • In "Tash" - well, would you frequent a brothel run by a leper?
  • Les Yay: Catlin and Shannon only get two scenes together, but they're more than enough to qualify for Les Yay.
  • Magnificent Bitch: Diana.
  • Replacement Scrappy: An unusual example. Though Catlin was never written out of the show, towards the end of the thirteen-episode run she seemed to be getting side-lined in favour of Fergus's daughter Molly, both as the lead female character and Conor's love interest. This did not win the character any fans considering Catlin's Ensemble Darkhorse status, and Molly's characterization as a Bratty Half-Pint.
  • Tastes Like Diabetes: Some of the dialogue, including sentiments like listening with your heart, believing in yourself and trusting in each other.
  • Too Good to Last: Averted, as you can see above; its short run was unmourned.
    • YMMV. The show does have a bit of a cult following, and it did have its moments - mainly in the handful of episodes where it felt like it was being its own show instead of aping Xena.
