I wonder if this was a later addition, or whether even in this TV movie period they already had the overarching title? | |thoughts = So there was a "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" intro and everything.

|thoughts = I enjoy how humanist Hercules is. Clearly in this setting he has to acknowledge the reality of the gods, but when he gets a chance he basically says "The gods suck, don't sacrifice things to them, fix problems with human ingenuity!" | |thoughts = I enjoy how humanist Hercules is.

|thoughts = Were they running out of names in mythical Greece? The female lead in both this and the previous were both Deianeira, though entirely different characters. A quick search indicates this name is mythologically meaningful, including as a wife of Hercules, so did they just decide to change directions and hope nobody cared that they aborted their first Deianeira attempt? | |thoughts = Were they running out of names in mythical Greece?

|thoughts = Well that was a bit of a time skip. Since the last movie he's now married to Deianeira #2 and they have three kids. A decade later, maybe? In yet another instance of a reused actor within just these few movies, the girl who plays Hercules's daughter was also the fake girl from the beginning of the first movie who turned into a hydra. | |thoughts = Well that was a bit of a time skip.

|thoughts = My first thought... a clip show!? Who makes a movie a clip show of a handful of previous movies?! Were they contractually obligated to do a fifth and ran out of funds? But as it turns out it's almost the opposite. Another TV movie series wasn't going to be able to deliver, so an extra Hercules TV movie was rushed into production. But without enough time to construct an entirely new full-length movie, having a lot of reused clips was the compromise. Fair enough. | |thoughts = My first thought... a clip show!?
