Motherhood - How do you feel about the change?

in the original script, Xena outside with Ares in the rain and is meant to see a silhouette of someone holding a knife behind Eve through a window, she throws her chakram through the window and it takes them out with a head wound.
The director didn't think this was important and instead had Xena run in, chakram Gabrielle knowing full well it was her.
Am I the only one who hates the version they did in the episode? Xena is a skilled fighter the idea she'd chakram Gabrielle with a killing blow, knowing full it was her is very out of character.
What are your thoughts?

I've never thought about it. It's good that you brought it up. Maybe she just wanted to make sure that Gabrielle won't be able to stab Eve again. Maybe she knew that Ares will flee, but wasn't sure about Gabrielle.

In the deleted scene, that scene was a little bit longer. Where the Gabrielle had stabbed Eve, at least three times before Xena decided to use her Chakram. At Gabrielle to stop her from continue of hurting Eve even further

In the deleted version, the scene was a bit longer. Where Gabrielle didn’t just stabs Eve once, like we originally got in the episode. In the deleted scene Gabrielle stabs Eve at least 3 times, before Xena decides to hit Gabrielle with her Chakram. Stoping Gabrielle from hurting Eve even further.
But I guess, they to cut it short. Why we see Gabrielle stabbing Eve once, before Xena decided to used the Chakram. Stop Gabrielle from hurting Eve even more.
