Chris and Ally take on one of the lost episodes of Xena (a jukebox musical that was too expensive for Netflix) and learn that things that are funny in the writer's room aren't always funny on tv. Tune in to watch the last episode before a bunch of the crew jumping ship to work on Lord of the Rings, and try not to lose your entire mind at the RAP BATTLE.

We watch Season 5 Episode 10 of Xena Warrior Princess: Lyre Lyre Hearts on Fire

Have you become numb to the violence? If so, this episode is just for you! Xena sort of finds out who her baby daddy is, Chris and Ally sort of try to understand exactly what that means, and Renee O'Connor is elevated to the status of action star. We also get a series wrap on two extremely iconic touchstones of the show. Remember, though: there can be no love without loss, and there can be no Xena Warrior Princess without absolutely wild plots.

We watch Season 5 Episode 9 of Xena Warrior Princess: Seeds of Faith

In a classic "be careful what you wish for" hijinks episode, Xena finds herself in a situation that Chris and Ally really struggle with trying to describe. Ally gets dazzled by Renee O'Connor's fight scenes, Chris gets dazzled by some unknown female Kiwi wrestlers, and everyone is twins!

We watch Season 5 Episode 8 of Xena Warrior Princess: Little Problems!

With Lucy Lawless still medically prohibited from doing backflips, we get a whole episode where Xena stands in one place and doesn't move. The show also gives us something we haven't seen in a long time: a Greg! Perhaps the last Greg ever! Anyway this episode was actually really upsetting and tonally dissonant and it broke Ally. Please enjoy.

Xena learns that Lao Ma might not have been a great mom, Gabrielle gives Joxer a foot job, and Joxer becomes obsessed with sizeable holes. Meanwhile, in the real world, Chris learns that Chinese cooking is spicy, and Ally learns the true meaning of saltpeter. We got a good twin! We got an evil twin! We got Purity, the sixth episode of season 5 of Xena Warrior Princess!

In a very busy episode jam-packed with so many things happening at the same time, Xena asks an important Yahoo question: "Am i gregnant?" Meanwhile, Gabrielle is living having her own Lifetime Original Movie about a girl and a horse learning to trust each other. There's also a knife that sounds like a gun! Chris and Ally sure are a two horse family in this wild, WILD episode!

We talk about Season 5 Episode 4 of Xena Warrior Princess: ANIMAL ATTRACTION.

Having rediscovered the joy of murder, Xena wants to do all of the murders herself. However, now that Gabrielle is done being a pacifist, she would like to do some murders of her own, thank you very much. Meanwhile, Ares needs a new protege, since Xena turned him down, so he gives us a Were-Gabby! Xena by day, Gabrielle by night!

Whether you prefer the goofier episodes or lean more towards the dramatics, it can't be denied that Chakram is a very significant episode of Xena Warrior Princess. It has character development, lore, new weapons, and some very cool changes to the status quo. We've seen Xena struggling to balance her light and dark sides, but we've never seen her quite like this: with no memories of her dark side whatsoever! We're also joined by special guest Hein Latt, a talented cosplayer and Xena SUPERFAN. 

We talk about Season 5 Episode 2 of Xena Warrior Princess: CHAKRAM.

We start season 5 off on a high note: Xena and Gabrielle are dead. Anyway, we're doing bible! It's an episode about bible, in a way that only Xena Warrior Princess can give us. Our heroes get caught up in a war between good and evil, and Callisto is there too. Will Chris clarify the meaning of Cultural Christianity, or will Ally have to walk through hell alone, with only the mental image of wheels covered in eyes for company?

We talk about Season 5 Episode 1 of Xena Warrior Princess: Fallen Angel.

In a time of wrestling gods, brawlers, and rings, the people cried out for a hero... and his name was John Cena!

From heel to hero, John Cena and his incredibly thick body have captivated the hearts and minds of kids, bros and wrestling fans alike. Stone Cold Chris Sims and Mixed-Martial Ally watch his iconic I Quit match against JB in an attempt to better understand basic thuganomics.

Flat-earthers beware: Ryan Gosling has entered the chat. Chris and Ally have finally watched some Young Hercules. It had child star turned A-list celeb Ryan Gosling in the titular role, and was the first Renaissance Pictures action pack show that was made both for AND about kids. How does this show compare to the Legendary Journeys, which will no longer be watched or discussed on this podcast? Find out in this episode!

We watched the first three episodes of Young Hercules!

As the old saying goes, always the Joxer, never the Xena. Season 4 gave us a lot of talk about reincarnation, so what better way to wrap things up than with some wacky modern reincarnation hijinks! Chris and Ally reflect on clip shows, y2k, and Renee O'Connor's directorial debut! We also get another iconic Xena kiss, in the only way we're allowed to have it. Finally, we ask the questions: if you were never really born, will you ever really die?

We talk about Season 4 Episode 22 of Xena Warrior Princess: Deja Vu All Over Again.

"I am just so tired of fake friends." -Julius Caesar

It's the ides of March, y'all!!! Come for the major historical event, stay for Chris's excellent Callisto impression. Both hosts are torn on how they feel about the Xena Revisionist History, but Ally is happy to let the Shakespeare nerd leap out. Will Julius Caesar crown himself emperor on March 15th???? or will, uh... something else happen instead?

We talk about Season 4 Episode 21 of Xena Warrior Princess: The Ides of March.

Oh Gabby, we're really in the endgame now! With the Amazons at risk of dying out, Xena kidnaps Brutus to use him against the Roman triumvirate. Meanwhile, Gabrielle has to prove that she's still a fierce leader despite being a pacifist, and a spunky new Amazon warrior shows off her very special hat.

We talk about Season 4 Episode 20 of Xena Warrior Princess: ENDGAME.

Whodunnit? WHO CARES! It's a real Xena She Wrote in this goofy episode. When a bounty hunter turns up dead, it's up to Xena and the gang to find the murderer before Discord (the goddess of unmoderated teenage chatrooms) drags an innocent to hell instead. This episode's got everything: party boys! bondage jokes! a murder horse! And as we near the end of Season 4, Chris and Ally have two important questions to ask: Why was Gabrielle born so beautiful? Why was she born at all? 

We talk about Season 4 Episode 19 of Xena Warrior Princess: TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE.

Chris and Ally survived 2020 exclusively to talk about the Xena episode with one of the best scripts... and some of the dumbest fight stuff in the entire series. Joxer has his first kill, Najara has her second appearance, Gabrielle invents smoke bombs and Rob Tapert pushes the boundaries of the concept of suspending one's disbelief. Also featured in this episode is a chat about the numerous ancient greek video games people have been playing lately. Anyway, subscribe to our OnlyHercules...

We talk about Season 4 Episode 18 of Xena Warrior Princess: THE CONVERT.
