Timothy... you want SMG/XWP AND Janeway? 
That's just greedy.
How about SMG and XWP? Hmmmmm?
Hey, Saturn5... this isn't the story you told me about so many months ago, but its a nice one, stetching over 2000 + years. http://academyofbards.org/fanfic/p/phantombard_allourflowers.html

Despite what Jeri Ryan
Been at sea, Saturn5? Is that code for vacation or maneuvers?
Welcome back, either way.
No, that's not one I've read before but it is nice. Been at sea chasing pirates but never caught any.Soul Possession is marvellous but I'll comment more on that when you've finished rewatching. Is Many Happy Returns the last appearance of Aphrodite?

Chasing pirates?
Good god, love, what DO you do?Alas... MHR is the last appearance of Aphrodite, just as SP is the last appearance of Ares & Joxer.
I feel season 6 is just one long "Jetsons" intro... Goodbye Virgil, Varia, Ephiny, Aphrodite, Joxer, Ares...
Hey Tim! If you liked Buffy... maybe you'd like Callisto: Warrior Queen!

Buffy: The Bacchae slayer?
Or Xena: Warrior Slayer? (Punko has several versions, I like this one best)
Not being a Buffy expert, this next vid is lost on me, but I suspect you will like the juxtapostion of the X/Callisto storyline with the B/Faith storyline.

Episode 132 season 6 # 20 "Soul Possession"
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_455.jpg
Its nightime in the forest, and we see Xena sleeping alongside the campfire.
Gabrielle’s Voice: “Xena. Xena.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_156cd.htm
Xena: (Xena sits up from her bedroll) “Is somebody there?”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_458.jpg
Gabrielle’s Voice: “It’s me-- Gabrielle.”
Xena: “Gabrielle?”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_461.jpg
******
Quick cut back to the 21st century press conference where Dr Delaney has be holding sway...
Audience Member: “Uh-- how could Gabrielle have shown up? That defies the logic of the following scrolls.”
XenaFan 2: “Yeah. Xena and Gaby don’t meet up until ‘A Family Affair.’ What kind of Brooklyn Bridge are you tryin’ to sell us today?”
Woman’s Voice: “Yeah.”
Dr. Delaney: “Oh, where were we? Oh, yes. Yes, yes. Xena heard Gabrielle whisper to her. Xena-- ”
****
Back to the ancient Greecian forest
Gabrielle’s Voice [Interrupts] “Xena”.
Xena: “Gabrielle. Where are you, Gabrielle?”
Gabrielle’s Voice: “I’m in your heart where you must keep me.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_160cd.htm
Xena looks momentarily confused, until she looks across the fire and sees JOXER's bedroll is empty. She hops up silently, and makes her way through the forest....
Xena: “Hm-m-m.”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_470.jpg
Gabrielle’s Voice [Now sounds more like Joxer as we see him standing in the distance with a ancient megaphone to his mouth]: “and don’t bother looking for me because I can’t be found. I’m gone. Um, just like in that one scroll that I wrote that time-- with the-- when I fought that guy with the big stick-- an’-- ”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_163cd.htm
Joxer: (Turns to the Warrior Princess tapping him on the shoulder...) “Just a minute, Xena...." (Then he turns back to his megaphone to keep talking...) and if Joxer wants a drink.... ”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_480.jpg
Xena grabs the megaphone out of his hand and shoves it ontop his head like a huge dunce cap before stomping away.

Xena: “Idiot.”

Back to the future again... 21st century America. An open jeep pulls up to the front of a familiar (season 4) spiritual awareness center and we FINALLY see MATTIE and HARRY! They are just back from vacation... oh, and Harry has a small CHAKRAM hanging from the rearview mirror. Oh, and before you ask... "Harry" is driving.
Gabrielle: (As they JERK to a full stop) “Nice driving, Dear.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_167cd.htm
Harry: “Thanks, Pumpkin.” (Proof positive that this may be her reincarnation but its NOT actually Xena. Yet! )
Gabrielle: [Sighs] “Oh, that was the most fabulous vacation since our honeymoon.”
Harry: “Yeah.”
Gabrielle: [sighs] “Ha-ha-- and I thought that nothing could top that.”
Gabrielle and Harry: “R-r-r-r-r-reow!” (They growl as they make claw gestrues towards each other.
)
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_170cd.htm
Gabrielle: (waxing philosophic...) “Wasn’t it fascinating how being in Greece brought back our lives as Xena and Gabrielle?”
Harry: “Yeah-- except I shouldn’t’a had those two goat-cheese milkshakes.”
Gabrielle: [She leans across the front seat to squeeze Harry's cheek] “Is my little Warrior Princess’ tummy still bothering him?”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_173cd.htm
Harry: “Mm-hm-m-m-m-m.” [Farts]
Gabrielle: (Waves a delicate hand under her nose as she exits the vehicle) “Whew!"
She runs up to the overstuffed mailbox by the side of the road and starts rummaging through as Harry gets out to unload the back of the jeep.
Gabrielle: "Home at last. Uh-- trash. Junk. S&M cata-- ooh
-- hm-m-- there’s a letter here from C.H.A.K.R.A.M.”
(Sorry WHoosh... but I have to correct your transcriptionist again.
Its not "some men's" catal...)
Harry: “What’s it say?”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_177cd.htm
Gabrielle: “It’s a conference. Aah, blah, blah, blah. They found a new scroll in the Ionian Sea. Something about a radical interpretation. It’s today. The conference is today.”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_525.jpg
He stops unloading the jeep, and in fact dumps everything back into it before jumping into the driver's seat.
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_526.jpg
Harry: “If that scroll is what I think it is-- the world could be in a lot of trouble. Come on, Pumpkin. Let’s go.” (see above note re: "Is THIS Xena yet?)
****
Meanwhile, back in the ancient past, where XENA has NEVER called anyone PUMPKIN... she does call upon a certain God of War.
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_532.jpg
Xena: “Ares? Ares, I have your answer.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_181cd.htm
Ares: “You certainly took your sweet time.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_182cd.htm
Xena: “I was weighing up the pros and cons. It wasn’t a very balanced list. The truth is, I just don’t think we’d look right together on top of a wedding cake.”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_548.jpg
Ares: “Just as long as you look right... on top of me.”
(Right... THIS was a"kid's" show.)
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_555.jpg
Xena: “Don’t get ahead of yourself.”
Ares: “Xena, come on. What’s it gonna be?”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_189cd.htm
Xena: “Ares, I would do anything to get my friend back. So, yes... I’ll marry you.”

"The night of the iguana" this aint... but this movie quote pretty much sums up THIS TV episode! The Fantastic and the Realistic are the two levels upon which we live.

Xena: “I want the ceremony to take place at the lava pit.”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_559.jpg
Ares: “Where Gabrielle died? Kind of morbid, don’t you think?”
Xena: “No, I think it’s fitting. I should be as close as possible to the one person in the world I meant to spend the rest of my life with... as I give myself over to the one person in the world... I would never choose.”
SNAP!!!! Ouch!
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_201cd.htm
Ares: “I know what this is prewedding jitters. All brides get ’em. [Exhales] OK-- you can have your fairy-tale wedding, Xena. Well, I gotta go break it to the folks. Can you imagine? Zeus, and Hera are gonna be your in-laws.” [Scoffs as he winks away]
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_568.jpg
Xena: (Rolls her baby blues) “Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse.”
****
Scene switches from night in the forest... to afterhours in an empty tavern. Joxer is sitting alone at a table.
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_204cd.htm
Joxer: [Clears throat] “Ares, show yourself! Ares, I, Joxer the Mighty, command you to show yourself!
And now, proof positive that Dr Delaney in the 21st century was WRONG when he said Joxer never flexed a heroic muscle in his entire life!!!!
Joxer: "Hey, Jelly-Butt, get down here!"
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_206cd.htm
and suddenly... ARES-GOD OF WAR APPEARS...
Joxer: Ah-h-h-h-h! Ooh-h! Uh!”
Ares: [Laughs]
Joxer: (God laughing = good sign in Joxer's world) “Eh-heh.”
Ares: “So tell me why I shouldn’t kill you.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_208cd.htm
Joxer: (God NOT killing YET = even BETTER sign in Joxer's calculus) “Did I say ‘Jelly-Butt’? I meant, uh-- uh-- ‘Buns of steel!’" (Did they invent steel yet?) "It’s a good thing you showed up, too.”
Ares: “Showed up? For what?”
Joxer: “Well... this is your last night as a single god, right?”
Ares: “What?”
And you thought JOXER was slow on the uptake???
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_213cd.htm
Joxer: “Your bachelor party, ya big lug. [Laughs as he waves at the door and a lovely Greek lady appears] Ta-da-a-a-a-a-a! Mi-i-i-i-iss Athens-- ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-- 36-24-36. She loves Greek mythology... kids... and hopes one day all men can be brothers.
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_608.jpg
The Greek beauty comes to fawn over the God of War as Joxer continues...
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_214cd.htm
Joxer: Next we have... Miss.... Mesopotamia. Ah-h-h-h-- an oasis in the desert. (Joxer channels Groucho Marx without the eyebrows and glasses and cigar and...)
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_217cd.htm
Joxer: 'Wouldn’t you like to take a little dip in that?' Hm-m? Hmm-mm-mmm. And finally-- you’ll fall for Miss Gaul. (OUCH!)
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_220cd.htm
Joxer: Ah-h-h-h-h-- too much for the Roman Empire to handle... but not too much for the god ’o war.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_219cd.htm
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_215cd.htm
Joxer watches as all three ladies pander to the war god himself... but Ares ain't buying what Joxer's selling.
Ares: “This is it?”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_222cd.htm
Joxer: “Well, on-- short notice-- ya-- you know how it is?”
Ares: (To the ladies orbiting his aura) “Blow.”
Girls: “Oh-h!”
They don't take the hint... so....
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_224cd.htm
Ares: “Am-scray.”
Girls: “Uh.” “Hm-m-m.”
and awayyyyy they go! Huzzah!
Ares: “You honestly thought that you’d con me out of marrying Xena with this-this-- fistful of harlots? You know what? I got a prenup to sign.” [Clucks as he turns to wink away]
Joxer: “W-w-w-w-w-wait! There’s more. Heh-heh. [Whistles] Savin’ the best for last! Got a sweet tooth? You like baklava?
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_228cd.htm
Joxer: "Here’s three more layers of pure delight. Bite into this delicacy and it may bite back. And that’s a good thing. Heh-heh.”
A cake is wheeled into the tavern, and out from its empty center jumps an airhead that is rivaled only by the party planner himself!
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_230cd.htm
Meg: “Ye-e-e-e-e-e-hah-h-h-h-h!”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_233cd.htm
Joxer: (He's laughing at Ares because he hasn't seen WHO umped out of the cake, yet.) “Heh-heh-heh-heh-- (Its "yet" time, as he turns to look at the woman in the whipped cream bikini) "oh!”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_691.jpg
Meg:[Sings as she rotates around in the confined space of the three layers cake] “Who’s my little bubba?
My little bubba?
Who’s my little bubba?
Ka-chookie-chookie-chookie-chookie.
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_235cd.htm
Meg: [Speaks... her HEART means well, but her spelling isn't up to the task as ARES looks at her with a mixture of lust and confusion]
“Give me an A! A!
Give me an R! R!
Give me an S! S!
Give me an E! E!
Whaddya got? Go-o-o-o-o-o Ares!”
Joxer: “Meg!”
This ISN'T the time to go all puritanical on us, big boy!
Meg: [Whispers, a touch of embarrassment?] “Joxer.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_237cd.htm
Talk about the quickest way to kill a wargod's "mood"... "JOXER!"
Ares: (Confusion reigns!) “Who’s Meg?”
Joxer: “Uh-uh-uh-- it’s a-a fr-friend. Heh-heh.”
In that highpitched almost baby speak she does so "well" she leans over the edge of the cake to gaze into Joxer's eyes...
Meg: “A very good friend.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_240cd.htm
Joxer: (McDreamy is mesmerized by the lady in the 2 piece whipped cream outfit) “Yeah.”
Ares: “I’m outta here.”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_715.jpg
And THIS time he makes good on his threat and winks away!
DANGER, Will Robinson, DANGER!!!!
Joxer: “No! No-no! No! No-o-o-o-o!”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_239cd.htm
Ares is history!
Meg: “Ya know what? I’m cookin’ in here. I need som’in’ to wet my whistle.”
Joxer: (He hands her his personal flask of hard alcohol.) “Try that.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_241cd.htm
Meg: (She accepts readily and...) “Thanks.” (Takes a big gulp!)
Joxer: “Hey-- what’s with this whole cake thing?”
Meg: “Well, I needed a way to earn a few extra dinars.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_243cd.htm
Joxer: (The wheels, they are 'a-turning' in that Mighty head! ) “Mm-m-m-m.”
Meg: “What do you think?”
She's indicating her whipped cream brassiere and he drags a finger through it to taste it.
Joxer: “Banana cream. My favorite.”
Meg: “Mm-m-m-m-m.”
Joxer: ('Foreshadowing' for season 5!) “You know? A classy lady like you shouldn’t be here. I’m gonna take you away from all this.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_245cd.htm
Meg: (Can't tell if she's happy or not at the prospect) “You are?”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_741.jpg
Joxer: (He leans on an elbow and takes a swig from his own flask) “Yeah.”
Meg: (ohhh, now we see. The airhead has been DISS'ED in the past by one not so mighty fella!) “Well, what happened to your other good friend-- Gabrielle?”
Joxer: “Oh, her? Haven’t you heard? She’s dead.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_247cd.htm
Meg: “I’ll drink to that.”
Joxer: (Nearly shouts!) “Can’t you see I’m grieving here?”
Meg: “Well, sorry, Babycakes, but dead is dead. Can’t change that.”
Joxer: “No-- but I can try.” (and he turns to run away)
Say it with me people... YES YOU CAN!
Meg: (Standing upright in the cake, pointing to the garnish upon her whipped cream bra...) “Hey, wait a minute! These cherries cost 5 dinars a bushel!”

Xena: “No, I think it’s fitting. I should be as close as possible to the one person in the world I meant to spend the rest of my life with... as I give myself over to the one person in the world... I would never choose.”
SNAP!!!! Ouch!
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_201cd.htm
Ares: “I know what this is prewedding jitters. All brides get ’em. [Exhales] OK-- you can have your fairy-tale wedding, Xena. Well, I gotta go break it to the folks. Can you imagine? Zeus, and Hera are gonna be your in-laws.” [Scoffs as he winks away]
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_568.jpg
Xena: (Rolls her baby blues) “Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse.”
****
Scene switches from night in the forest... to afterhours in an empty tavern. Joxer is sitting alone at a table.
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_204cd.htm
Joxer: [Clears throat] “Ares, show yourself! Ares, I, Joxer the Mighty, command you to show yourself!
And now, proof positive that Dr Delaney in the 21st century was WRONG when he said Joxer never flexed a heroic muscle in his entire life!!!!
Joxer: "Hey, Jelly-Butt, get down here!"
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_206cd.htm
and suddenly... ARES-GOD OF WAR APPEARS...
Joxer: Ah-h-h-h-h! Ooh-h! Uh!”
Ares: [Laughs]
Joxer: (God laughing = good sign in Joxer's world) “Eh-heh.”
Ares: “So tell me why I shouldn’t kill you.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_208cd.htm
Joxer: (God NOT killing YET = even BETTER sign in Joxer's calculus) “Did I say ‘Jelly-Butt’? I meant, uh-- uh-- ‘Buns of steel!’" (Did they invent steel yet?) "It’s a good thing you showed up, too.”
Ares: “Showed up? For what?”
Joxer: “Well... this is your last night as a single god, right?”
Ares: “What?”
And you thought JOXER was slow on the uptake???
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_213cd.htm
Joxer: “Your bachelor party, ya big lug. [Laughs as he waves at the door and a lovely Greek lady appears] Ta-da-a-a-a-a-a! Mi-i-i-i-iss Athens-- ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-- 36-24-36. She loves Greek mythology... kids... and hopes one day all men can be brothers.
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp/xena_s6_sp_dArc_608.jpg
The Greek beauty comes to fawn over the God of War as Joxer continues...
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_214cd.htm
Joxer: Next we have... Miss.... Mesopotamia. Ah-h-h-h-- an oasis in the desert. (Joxer channels Groucho Marx without the eyebrows and glasses and cigar and...)
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_217cd.htm
Joxer: 'Wouldn’t you like to take a little dip in that?' Hm-m? Hmm-mm-mmm. And finally-- you’ll fall for Miss Gaul. (OUCH!)
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_220cd.htm
Joxer: Ah-h-h-h-h-- too much for the Roman Empire to handle... but not too much for the god ’o war.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_219cd.htm
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_215cd.htm
Joxer watches as all three ladies pander to the war god himself... but Ares ain't buying what Joxer's selling.
Ares: “This is it?”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_222cd.htm
Joxer: “Well, on-- short notice-- ya-- you know how it is?”
Ares: (To the ladies orbiting his aura) “Blow.”
Girls: “Oh-h!”
They don't take the hint... so....
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_224cd.htm
Ares: “Am-scray.”
Girls: “Uh.” “Hm-m-m.”
and awayyyyy they go! Huzzah!
Ares: “You honestly thought that you’d con me out of marrying Xena with this-this-- fistful of harlots? You know what? I got a prenup to sign.” [Clucks as he turns to wink away]
Joxer: “W-w-w-w-w-wait! There’s more. Heh-heh. [Whistles] Savin’ the best for last! Got a sweet tooth? You like baklava?
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_228cd.htm
Joxer: "Here’s three more layers of pure delight. Bite into this delicacy and it may bite back. And that’s a good thing. Heh-heh.”
A cake is wheeled into the tavern, and out from its empty center jumps an airhead that is rivaled only by the party planner himself!
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_230cd.htm
Meg: “Ye-e-e-e-e-e-hah-h-h-h-h!”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_233cd.htm
Joxer: (He's laughing at Ares because he hasn't seen WHO umped out of the cake, yet.) “Heh-heh-heh-heh-- (Its "yet" time, as he turns to look at the woman in the whipped cream bikini) "oh!”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_691.jpg
Meg:[Sings as she rotates around in the confined space of the three layers cake] “Who’s my little bubba?
My little bubba?
Who’s my little bubba?
Ka-chookie-chookie-chookie-chookie.
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_235cd.htm
Meg: [Speaks... her HEART means well, but her spelling isn't up to the task as ARES looks at her with a mixture of lust and confusion]
“Give me an A! A!
Give me an R! R!
Give me an S! S!
Give me an E! E!
Whaddya got? Go-o-o-o-o-o Ares!”
Joxer: “Meg!”
This ISN'T the time to go all puritanical on us, big boy!
Meg: [Whispers, a touch of embarrassment?] “Joxer.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_237cd.htm
Talk about the quickest way to kill a wargod's "mood"... "JOXER!"
Ares: (Confusion reigns!) “Who’s Meg?”
Joxer: “Uh-uh-uh-- it’s a-a fr-friend. Heh-heh.”
In that highpitched almost baby speak she does so "well" she leans over the edge of the cake to gaze into Joxer's eyes...
Meg: “A very good friend.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_240cd.htm
Joxer: (McDreamy is mesmerized by the lady in the 2 piece whipped cream outfit) “Yeah.”
Ares: “I’m outta here.”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_715.jpg
And THIS time he makes good on his threat and winks away!
DANGER, Will Robinson, DANGER!!!!
Joxer: “No! No-no! No! No-o-o-o-o!”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_239cd.htm
Ares is history!
Meg: “Ya know what? I’m cookin’ in here. I need som’in’ to wet my whistle.”
Joxer: (He hands her his personal flask of hard alcohol.) “Try that.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_241cd.htm
Meg: (She accepts readily and...) “Thanks.” (Takes a big gulp!)
Joxer: “Hey-- what’s with this whole cake thing?”
Meg: “Well, I needed a way to earn a few extra dinars.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_243cd.htm
Joxer: (The wheels, they are 'a-turning' in that Mighty head! ) “Mm-m-m-m.”
Meg: “What do you think?”
She's indicating her whipped cream brassiere and he drags a finger through it to taste it.
Joxer: “Banana cream. My favorite.”
Meg: “Mm-m-m-m-m.”
Joxer: ('Foreshadowing' for season 5!) “You know? A classy lady like you shouldn’t be here. I’m gonna take you away from all this.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_245cd.htm
Meg: (Can't tell if she's happy or not at the prospect) “You are?”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_741.jpg
Joxer: (He leans on an elbow and takes a swig from his own flask) “Yeah.”
Meg: (ohhh, now we see. The airhead has been DISS'ED in the past by one not so mighty fella!) “Well, what happened to your other good friend-- Gabrielle?”
Joxer: “Oh, her? Haven’t you heard? She’s dead.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_247cd.htm
Meg: “I’ll drink to that.”
Joxer: (Nearly shouts!) “Can’t you see I’m grieving here?”
Meg: “Well, sorry, Babycakes, but dead is dead. Can’t change that.”
Joxer: “No-- but I can try.” (and he turns to run away)
Say it with me people... YES YOU CAN!
Meg: (Standing upright in the cake, pointing to the garnish upon her whipped cream bra...) “Hey, wait a minute! These cherries cost 5 dinars a bushel!”

Episode 132 season 6 #20 "Soul Possession"
ACT III continues
We're back to the future, er... or the present, which is 10 years into our past, well, lets just say its the 21st century and leave it at that, okay?
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_250cd.htm
ANYway... we're back in the 21st century at the press conference where Dr Delaney of C.H.A.K.R.A.M. is relating their most recent find regarding the Ionian sea scrolls. We see Annie in the audience as Harry and Mattie enter the room and sit directly behind her.
Dr Delaney’s Voice: “Of course, we at C.H.A.K.R.A.M., were immediately concerned about the authenticity. We weren’t interested in promoting a hoax like the Hitler diaries-- or the fan fiction which pretends to be based on legitimate scrolls. We consulted the world’s foremost experts... ”
Harry: (Leans forward to whisper to his former lover) “Annie.”
Dr Delaney’s Voice: “... and ... ”
Annie turns to see Harry and Mattie sitting behind her. Mattie is very relaxed, with her right arm across the back of Harry's chair and her right leg crossed, its knee in easy reaching distance to Harry.
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_251cd.htm
Gabrielle: (Smiling indulgently) “We thought you might be here.”
Dr Delaney’s Voice: “... Nikos... ”
Annie: (She looks at her former paramour) “Harry-- ”
Dr Delaney’s Voice: “-- expert in Greek-- ”
and NOW... my FAVORITE line of the entire episode!!!!
Annie: (Looks quite condescending at her former therapist AND home wrecker!) “... and Harry’s ho’... what are you doing at the press conference?”
Dr Delaney’s Voice: (great inside joke since this is a writer/producer of OUR Xena:WP TV series!) “RJ Stewart was considered the last... ”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_778.jpg
Annie: [Interrupts Delaney as she pulls her own ID badge and wiggles it at the two interlopers] “I’d like to see some credentials, please.”
And now, my 2nd clue that this maybe the reincarnated SOUL of Xena, but is NOT Xena... (She's not this crass or unfeeling)
Harry: “Look-- Annie..." (As he leans forward to speak "earnestly" to Annie, his hand strays to that convenient knee and he starts stroking it lovingly in front of his FORMER lover.)
Harry: "I know you’re still a little upset about what happened between us..." (Poor Annie, her chin is just QUIVERING as she watches that hand go up and down that thigh which DOESN'T belong to HER!)
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_252cd.htm
Harry: "...but you’ve gotta listen to me or we could all be in serious danger.”
Annie: (She drags her eyes away from the hand and looks up at Harry) “What are you talking about?”
Dr Delaney’s Voice: “... and the writing styles... ”
Harry: “I know enough about what happens in that scroll to know how it turns out.”
Annie: (As it always does, a broken heart turns angry within a blink of an eye) “Well, don’t ruin it for me. I hate it when people blab the spoilers.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_253cd.htm
Gabrielle: “Annie, you don’t understand. There’s a very real possibility that Ares might show up here.”
Dr Delaney’s Voice: “... spiritual quest... ”
Annie: “Ares? You mean, ‘god of war’ Ares?”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_796.jpg
Harry: “None other. And if my instincts are correct-- he’s bound to make an appearance.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_258cd.htm
And as we leave the press conference, we are treated to the vision of a bad ass biker in a flowing black coat flying down a country road towards ????
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_807.jpg
How do I know he's a bad ass without resorting to profiling?
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_814.jpg
Cuz as he drives by... all the flowers on the roadside WILT and DIE.
Uh-oh.

Eight wonderful things about Soul Possession, just losing out out to 'You are there' as my favourite ep of season 6.1. The relationship between Joxer and Xena whilst they're both grieving for Gabby. It is THE ep for fans of Xexer, check out the way he helps her out of the fissure and comforts her the night before her wedding. Plenty of fanfic where this comfort gets very physical indeed (and for once I do know where you can find that fic if you want it). Oddly here it's Xena who is being a little irrational and Joxer who is the level headed one, missing Gabrielle but accepting she's gone and trying to help Xena do the same. 2. Ares on the Harley, thank you 'Raising Arizona'3. The centre for historical accuracy, besieged by rabid Xena fans demanding another season. 4. Lucy's wonderful performance as Annie, especially how crestfallen she looks when told that Joxer never flexed a heroic muscle 5. Joxer's stag night for Ares, our last appearance of Meg and the most Lucy flesh we see until she appears in Spartacus 6. The fact that Mattie and Harry have an S&M catalogue waiting for them in their post7. '...and Harry's ho!'8. The great ending where we see that we have reincarnations AND clones of our heroines still alive and kicking in the modern world not to mention Herc himself. One question that always occured to me, what is the nature of the transferrence that takes place between Harry and Annie? Is it just personalities or do they have one another's memories etc? Still, fan bloody tastic in every way
Despite what Jeri Ryan
Been at sea, Saturn5? Is that code for vacation or maneuvers?
Welcome back, either way.
No, that's not one I've read before but it is nice. Been at sea chasing pirates but never caught any.Soul Possession is marvellous but I'll comment more on that when you've finished rewatching. Is Many Happy Returns the last appearance of Aphrodite?
Chasing pirates?
Alas... MHR is the last appearance of Aphrodite, just as SP is the last appearance of Ares & Joxer.
I feel season 6 is just one long "Jetsons" intro... Goodbye Virgil, Varia, Ephiny, Aphrodite, Joxer, Ares... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjy-fnsmWR4
Hey Tim! If you liked Buffy... maybe you'd like Callisto: Warrior Queen! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfLu3Jos6qA
I'm a sailor of the Queen. As for the Xena/Buffy crossovers one fan theory is that Callisto actually IS the Slayer of her age gone rogue Faith-style, hence why she as a mortal woman can take on and nearly beat demi-goddess Xena. When Callisto dies (the first time) Najara is called to be the next Slayer, hence her visions etc
Episode 132 season 6 #20 "Soul Possession"
ACT III continues:
Xena is alone, contemplating her decision as she looks over her wedding veil. I find the color choice to be.... BOLD, given her history of two pregnancies and multiple partners. But who am I to judge?
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_823.jpg
There's a knock at the door, and a familiar voice calls out...
Joxer’s Voice: “It’s, uh... it’s Joxer. Are you decent?”
Talk about a loaded question! We see from Xena's face, she's considered the various options, and decides to go with "mildly self deprecating". Proving once and for all that Gabrielle was WRONG in "Them Bones, Them Bones" when she claimed the only only time Xena made fun of HERSELF was when she was happy.
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_826.jpg
Xena: “I don’t know about that. Come in anyway.”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_843.jpg
Gabrielle is supposed to represent "us" the every"woman" who tags along after the Warrior Woman and translates her for the audience. In case you haven't noticed, THAT role the every"man" has fallen to Joxer in this ep, and he does us proud.
Joxer: (awed and yet quietly so) “Wow... you look really beautiful. Um, despite the bleakness of the situation, I mean. Look, Xena is there nothing I can say to make you not marry Ares?”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_831.jpg
Xena: (She looks like she's at the end of her rope.) “I don’t know what else to do, Joxer. Look... you don’t have to stay for the ceremony. You won’t be letting me down.”
JUDAS PRIEST! YES HE WOULD!!!!!!!!
Joxer: “If you’re gonna go through with this, you must really believe Gabrielle’s alive, huh?”
Xena: (There's no other option!) “I do... yes.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_272cd.htm
Joxer: “OK, then-- so do I. Won’t need this anymore." (He tosses is flask away and it breaks, just as his lack of faith broke before Xena's calm assurance)
HUZZAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!
(I would prefer this ^ vid more if they ended it with Xena's hand on Joxer's shoulder)
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_273cd.htm
Joxer: "I’m sorry I was such a downer.”
Xena: “I guess we all deal with loss in our own way.” (Some people kill deer and horses and visit the land of the dead just for the off chance she can speak one last tiem with her "best"/"only" friend)
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_268cd.htm
Joxer: “Um... look, I know this... is a marriage made in Hades, but I figure we don’t have to abandon every tradition, so... here. Something old."
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_852.jpg (LOVE this face!)
Joxer: "It’s a lock of Gabrielle’s hair. It’s-it’s weird, I know. I-I got it when she got her hair cut last time and I want you to have it.”
Xena: “I don’t know what to say.” (Keep your hands off my friend's hair? )
Joxer: “And, um something new. I picked it this morning first bloom of the season." (I prefer the original "Family affair" scene where we see Joxer replacing the OLD bouquet with a fresh bouquet at the lava-pit where Gabrielle died.)
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_861.jpg
Joxer: Something borrowed. Something borrowed, uh..." (Pats himself down) "oh, I know... my lucky rabbit’s foot. I’m sure it will bring you more luck than the rabbit I chopped it off from.”
http://mikes-images.com/eps/sp/pages/sp_mq_285cd.htm
Xena: (her "cup" overflows) “I guess we need something blue now, huh?”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_868.jpg
Joxer: “That’s easy. That’s me.”
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_857.jpg
And to Saturn5's and every Xexer's ever loving heart... the Warrior with her hands full of goodluck talismans pulls Joxer into a clinch.
Xena: “Everything’s going to be fine, Joxer, I promise.” (Very reminiscent of "Been there, Done that" when she promised him everything would "be okay" after Gabrielle was murdered.)
http://miroirdarc.com/xwp/s6/sp_2/xena_s6_sp_dArc_878.jpg
ACT III continues YET again! (Crimeny! )

Joxer: "I’m sorry I was such a downer.”
Xena: “I guess we all deal with loss in our own way.” (Some people kill deer and horses and visit the land of the dead just for the off chance she can speak one last tiem with her "best"/"only" friend)

Joxer: “Um... look, I know this... is a marriage made in Hades, but I figure we don’t have to abandon every tradition, so... here. Something old."

Joxer: "It’s a lock of Gabrielle’s hair. It’s-it’s weird, I know. I-I got it when she got her hair cut last time and I want you to have it.”
Xena: “I don’t know what to say.” (Keep your hands off my friend's hair?
)Joxer: “And, um something new. I picked it this morning first bloom of the season." (I prefer the original "Family affair" scene where we see Joxer replacing the OLD bouquet with a fresh bouquet at the lava-pit where Gabrielle died.)

Joxer: Something borrowed. Something borrowed, uh..." (Pats himself down) "oh, I know... my lucky rabbit’s foot. I’m sure it will bring you more luck than the rabbit I chopped it off from.”

Xena: (her "cup" overflows) “I guess we need something blue now, huh?”

Joxer: “That’s easy. That’s me.”

And to Saturn5's and every Xexer's ever loving heart... the Warrior with her hands full of goodluck talismans pulls Joxer into a clinch.
Xena: “Everything’s going to be fine, Joxer, I promise.” (Very reminiscent of "Been there, Done that" when she promised him everything would "be okay" after Gabrielle was murdered.)

ACT III continues YET again! (Crimeny!
