Bard's Eye View

FlimFlam and Wonko review Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts, featuring the shittest horse ever and a "city" so tiny it could fit in my front room. Also, the return of a familiar face, or rather a face that would be familiar if they hadn't recast him since the last time we saw this character.

FlimFlam and Wonko review The Black Wolf. Awooooooooooo! Awoooooooooo! Have you had enough awoooooo-ing? Then I have bad news for you about this episode. Featuring my man Salmoneus, not enough Gabrielle, and a triangle we're supposed to think is a wolf.

FlimFlam and Wonko review Hooves and Harlots, the episode that introduced us to the Amazon Nation, aka the women of Greeceland Common. Featuring bad dancing, vitally important poop and surly butches. A cracker.

FlimFlam and Wonko review Death in Chains, in what felt like a truly Sisyphean task. Featuring another soulmate of the week (when will it end?) plus a little straighbaiting (another Xena innovation.)

FlimFlam and Wonko review Prometheus, the most Hercules-y episode of Xena ever. Wonko doesn't take notes. We have technical problems. Have I lowered your expectations enough yet? Then we'll begin.

FlimFlam and Wonko review The Titans. A mythological episode featuring those wacky incestuous dudes and dudettes from the Ancient Greek creation myth, except these examples are just douchebags really. But tol. Real tol. Forced persepctive tol. A technique that works better in small doses? An episode worth forgetting? Listen and find out.

FlimFlam and Wonko review The Reckoning, a big step up from last week's rather turgid affair. Featuring dubious hats, a mysterious man in a hood, and a finally named horse. What a fun filled week it is.

FlimFlam and Wonko review The Path Not Taken. Spoilers: we are bored. Featuring: the sleaziest villain yet and content warnings for emetophobia (me gagging at the plot), sexual assault (just the plot) and heterosexuality (Marcus.)

FlimFlam and Wonko review Cradle of Hope. An episode about a baby, a box, and a precarious plinth. Gabrielle! No! Don't mess with the bloody box!

FlimFlam and Wonko review Dreamworker. Featuring a blind old man oiling Xena up for plot reasons, highly dangerous breasts, and Gabrielle's still intact Blood Innocence (tm).
