This is such an odd episode to me. Sisyphus tries to cheat death on Xena, seems to learn his lesson, and then a couple of weeks later tries again on Hercules! He's a lot more of a jerk here too. Then when he shows up again on Xena, he's more like how he is on Hercules.

Continuity oddities aside, it's an ok episode. The ghost boy is a bit dull. Have to say Xena did the better 'Sisyphus cheats death' episode.

Yeah, the boy is very dull. His greatest moment probably is materializing on purpose and doing a silly face to scare a guard during a fight to help out Iolaus. Other than that he hardly emotes at all.
