Yay! If I avert my eyes from the terrible human-foal puppet, this episode is GREAT. So much femslash!

Also, science* and Actual Human History have no place on Xena. It's more of a centuries-crunched-into-several-years alternate history. At best.

*NGL, Xena's bold defiance of basic Newtonian mechanics in her stunts is one of the many things I adore about this show.
