Adventures in the Sin Trade – Part 1

By theLogBook.com
September 27, 1998

In her grief over Gabrielle’s death, Xena seeks out Hades, god of the underworld. He tells her that Gabrielle didn’t come to him when she died and asks if she was part of a religious order. The warrior realizes that Gabrielle’s status as an Amazon meant that she went to the Amazon land of the dead. Hades says that he can’t help her there because he doesn’t even know where that is – but Xena does. Leaving Argo behind, she sets off for the Amazon Land of the Dead. On the way, she’s haunted by visions from her past, and hears Gabrielle’s voice calling for her.

Joxer finds Amarice on a cliff overlooking the Roman prison. He tells her that he’s had nightmares of Xena and Gabrielle in trouble. The Amazon points down to where the warrior and bard’s bodies still hang from crosses. Eli appears, and the three begin to work on a plan to retrieve their friends and return them home to Greece.

Meanwhile Xena and Gabrielle’s souls are sitting on a mountain, when angels approach them. The angels are carrying them upward when demons attack them. First Gabrielle falls, then Xena who is caught by Callisto. The demoness plans to take Xena to her lord. The two fight, and Xena is saved by the Archangel Michael, while another Archangel fights Callisto.

Once in a place of safety, Michael tells Xena that Gabrielle has been taken to hell. Xena is determined to go after the bard, and jumps toward hell. Michael catches her and tells her that if she goes voluntarily, she will be doomed for eternity. So the warrior demands that he make her an Archangel. To become an Archangel, she must make a choice. After a trial by fire, Xena earns her wings and joins Michael and the other Archangels in their rescue attempt of Gabrielle.

Meanwhile in hell, Gabrielle awakens and finds Callisto. The demoness begins to torment the bard, and tries to tempt her to eat the food of hell. Gabrielle realizes that if she does it will turn her into a demoness as well…but Callisto tells her it’s only a matter of time before she succumbs to the temptation.

Firefly Season 1

Bushwacked

By Dave
September 27, 2002

The crew finds a derelict colony ship; Mal decides to check it out to look for survivors and potentially valuable loot. At first, the ship appears to be simply deserted, but when Mal and Zoey enter the cargo hold, they not only find the would-be settlers valuable supplies – they find their bodies as well. Mal recognizes the bodies as Reaver victims. They find a single survivor and bring him back to Serenity; Shepherd Book tries to lay the victims to rest while Kaylee works to bypass a booby trap that could destroy Serenity. All these chores take time, and before they can leave the derelict behind, an Alliance ship appears and boards them. The doctor and River hide outside Serenity, which unnerves him as much as it delights her. The Alliance captain suspects Mal of killing the crew as an act of spite and vengeance . . . until the tormented survivor demonstrates that he’s left his sanity behind and become a threat to both crews.
