  • 10. Xena: The Bitter Suite

    49:20
    We are back with one of the most anticipated episodes of Xena: The Bitter Suite. The TV musical episode that never gets credit for starting the random musical episode trend. Both Bryn and Helen have strong opinions and feelings regarding the episode and because of that, this episode is almost an hour.

  • 8. Xena: Maternal Instincts

    37:37
    We are back with the first of the big rift Xena episodes: Maternal Instincts. Both of us are way too excited to get into this story line but also way too opinionated about a 25 year old show. Join us as we discuss the length and depth of Gabrielle's lies, how evil and smart Hope really is, and how Xena some how knows everything that's going to happen. We also see the return of Callisto and her problem with rock caves.

    26:05
    We are back to talk about an other of the many doppleganger episodes that Xena has to offer with Warrior, Priestess, Tramp. Join us this week as we discuss how well Lucy does at making sure the audience knows who is talking, the evolution of how Gabby is treated, and which of Joxer's songs we prefer.

  • 7. Xena: The King of Assassins

    28:32
    After all the trauma of the last few weeks we are happy to return to a more lighthearted Xena episode. Autolycus and Joxer join up with the duo this episode for some twin shenanigans that also include Cleopatra for some reason. The Xena timeline is officially off the rails. Bryn and I discuss weird silly things, while enjoying the ability to laugh after four very serious Xena episodes.

  • 6. Xena: The Debt

    36:47
    We are back with a pod that includes the next two episodes of Xena: The Debt. These two episodes deserved to be covered together so we did that, also there was just no real clear way to break them up. In this episode Helen and Bryn discuss the next backstory dump that we get about Xena, this time with a change of location to Chin. We learn about how she got healed, and continue to have discussion about whether or not this rift is really a rift or just a bunch of really bad choices made with the idea that the other person couldn't handle the choices that were made. It's complicated. You can join in on the conversation with us at asthechakramturns@gmail.com or using @asthechakramturns on most social media sites .Intro/outro: Globe Trekking by Philip Ayers

    26:10
