OK, first of all, yes, cutting into the windpipe when it is smashed IS a medical thing! It is called a tracheotomy.
Second.....don't know if you want the spoilers or not, but here goes...I did indeed watch the three (?) episodes in Hercules that give the back story to Xena (well, sort of...I still have LOTS of questions about her.....is she truly a princess? where/how did she get her power? what gymnastics school did she attend?...etc.) before I started watching the Xena episodes. In those prequels: Xena takes Iolaus as her lover for at least a week (maybe longer?) and he is VERY smitten with her; then they break up (she has been using him all along to get to Hercules because she wants to kill Hercules); then she actually kind of falls for Hercules (He shows her how to be kind and make a positive difference in the world) and then THEY (Hercules and Xena) become lovers! So, all the looks that Hercules and Iolaus and Xena give each other in episode 8 are because they all know they all slept with each other. I think Iolaus now realizes Xena is out of his league, but it sure looks like he is smitten with Gabrielle, and maybe vice versa?
And yes, Gabrielle's' cute outfits and fighting staff/hitting stick are coming up in near-future episodes. (I just finished Season 1, episode 19, so WAY ahead of you two ;)
