|thoughts = }} | |thoughts = If Hercules is just wandering around helping people, how does he do things like make plans to travel to an event with Iolaus? For that matter how did he get invited to the wedding in the previous episode? Does he stop by his house every month to check the mail? Do people just whisper to the grapevine and hope Hercules eventually hears it? | ||
Some stuff in this whole scenario seemed a bit weird. Like apparently Nemesis is someone Hercules knew when he was young, and so was Iolaus, but they don't know each other? And now Nemesis has a job with the gods, but... was it always that way? Like, was the reason his friends didn't know each other because she was at the demigod daycamp or whatever? And if that's not the case, do humans regularly get the chance to apply for a job with the gods where they mete out ironic punishments and turn invisible? | |||
So if the gods think someone is getting too full of themselves (like themselves), they send her to arrange a death for them... but it really seems like more of a test. If they continue their failings, they end up dying. But I don't see that playing out in this episode? They say his big problem was too much pride, but over and over in this episode he's like "Do what I say if you want to live!" and... basically he's right each time, and it leads to their survival. Doesn't seem like much of a punishment against pride? | |||
Still, fun to see Iolaus getting the chance to be the episode's big hero, even if it does seem a little early for such a reversal to be necessary. This is only what, something like his fourth appearance?}} | |||
