|thoughts = }} | |thoughts = If you'd told me this was a season-ender I'd have believed it. Big story for Hercules personally, and a LOT of returning guest characters for just small moments. Including Salmoneus for just a few seconds at the end. He was probably already filming a Xena episode a mile down the road or whatever, so it was no biggie to get him there. | ||
So Jason and Alcmene have unbeknownst to Hercules been an item for years... but a few months ago she almost married John Kreese. They must've been on a break while Jason was drunk and seeing demons. | |||
Partway through the episode the guy wanting the throne said something about when he was in command he'd go north to where Hercules's brother ruled and conquer it. This... seems strange. We didn't know of him ruling anyplace, and considering later in the episode he was revealed as Jason's secret successor, it doesn't seem like he had a job he couldn't drop at a moment's notice. | |||
Maybe I just underestimate the classical world, but the place where they had the wedding seemed a bit too clean-cut and modern. Or maybe it's that I believe such things were possible thousands of years ago, but that's not the kind of place we ever see on this show. Even royalty lives in kind of dingy castles surrounded by dirt roads.}} | |||
