And now the end is near, and so we face the final curtain. We're not watching Friend in Need. The world is depressing enough. So here we are, at last, coming on for four years after we began, at the end of the humble little podcast that could. What it could do is yet to be established, but whatever it is, it did it.

It's Gabrielle's birthday! And guess what, it's Flam's birthday too. What an excellent gift this episode was.

The episode we've all been waiting for. Featuring guest reviewer Normal Alti.

Hey, who remembers little baby Clip Clop that Xena delivered in Season 1? He's back, and all grown up, and Xena's ready to practice her X-section technique once again.

Season 6's clipshow. Podcast featuring a special guest voice: Normal Alti.

Saving Private Varia.

Bad news for fans of the Amazons - their lame season 6 imitation is in this episode. Still, at least we see the back of Eve.

Imagine a crack fic. Imagine a crack fic writer got the keys to the car. You now have this episode. Featuring the best appearance of Eve by a factor too high to compute.

Apparently this is better than the god you don't? Huge if true.

It's the world's most dangerous hunter - one hit wonder Chesney Hawkes.

Ex-god Ares had a farm, ai ai ai ai ai!

The folley-up thing to end all folley-up things finally concludes, gayly.

Welcome to the neglected middle child of the Norse trilogy.

Join us as we travel into a) Norway and b) the past and begin the Norse trilogy (with no apologies to Wagner, because fuck that guy.)

If you've ever wondered about the detailed logistics of cannibalism, this is the episode for you.

Xena and Gabrielle have headed into some trouble and sandstorms as fanfic writer Missy Good once again receives the keys to the car.

Who's Gurkhan? Who indeed. Someone who needs to train his goons to have a look at the face of the person they're beheading, let's just say that.

The episode that proves what we've always suspected about heterosexuality - it's out of character, and a trap to lead you to Hell.

Xena, Gabrielle and Eve return to Amphipolis, fully expecting to find Xena's mother there alive and well for some reason. Oops.

And so it begins. Season 6, at long last. Who's up for giving a fanfic writer the keys to the car and having her take a tour round referencing all the gayest episodes?
