Bard's Eye View

This episode is called Kindred Sprits, and if you understand why please write in. Flam and I descend into mild hysteria in this episode - enjoy.

Remember last time when I said that episode was even worse than the episode that was just a stealth pilot for Amazon High.   Guess what.

Lads...it's possible this episode might have broken us. If you're a fan of this episode, I don't even know what to say. 

Athena's siege of Xena's hometown leads to the best possible outcome - public resistance singing!

Xena meets The Bangles, and Wonko reads too much into one line of dialogue. Overanalysis: the episode!

Or is that god, fearing child? Warning: not recommended for listeners with a Peanut allergy.

We've returned! Unfortunately, it's a clip show.

What better way to celebrate our favourite show's 100th episode than with a cringey jukebox musical? What's that you say? Literally anything else? Oh. Featuring: a penguin! Recorded with one track when we were in the same room, and completely unedited, so enjoy that if you can.

We say hello to a new arc and goodbye to some recurring characters - also, we did it live! Recorded with one track when we were in the same room, and completely unedited, so enjoy that if you can.

Let me tell you something lads - we had a couple of little problems with this episode.

Oh lord have mercy, it's a folley-up-thing. And not only are these two episodes nowhere near as good as The Debt, this one isn't as good as last week. It's all downhill folks.

We return to China this week for the first of a two part adventure that's not as good as the one in season 3. Content warning: Joxer.

These bones, man. They're dry. Dry old bones.  There will be a short posting break next week - see you in two weeks!

Did I ever think Gabrielle would get a horse? Neeeeeiiiiiigh.

Who remembers Mavican? Turns out she Mavican't. 

Finally, we get backstory on one of the show's most important characters: Xena's chakram.

We're back, baby, and so are Xena and Gabs. From the dead that is. FlimFlam and I were just on holiday.

Do you think it's weird for your season finale to be a clipshow? You just never know what crazy thing this show will do next! Also featuring our ovderall review of Season 4.

Here's what we've all been waiting for - 80 seconds of Gabrielle cheating on her new vegan diet in a really big way.

Amazons and Romans and new recurring characters, oh my!

The third best episode of Xena named after a playground insult, right behind I Know You Are But What Am I? and Your Mum.

You guys, Joxer isn't annoying in this one! Luckily he'll be annoying again next week, so I'm not fully...converted...to his charms. Did you see what I did there?

The Play's the Thing! Wherein we'll...act badly and preach at the audience. I'm sure that's how Shakespeare ended that quote. 

Long before The Mandalorian turned This is the Way into a meme, Xena took liberties with Hinduism and created the most controversial episode of the show's history. Join us for a little chat about the only episode ever pulled from syndication, The Way.

It's somehow appropriate that we had to re-record this episode, given it's about reincarnation. Also, that goddamn wig!
