|thoughts = }} | |thoughts = So the first proper crossover with [[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys|Hercules]] since Xena spun off. Even before their names were in the opening credits, there was obvious Hera stuff going on in the teaser so I knew at least some concepts from that show would be appearing. Strangely, I think this is the first time we've actually heard Hera talking rather than just flashing eyes in the sky and working from behind the scenes. | ||
So when Prometheus is captured, all the gifts he shared with mankind start to disappear... seems like a hard thing to implement as a curse of sorts. I mean, he may have taught people fire, but it's a natural thing. So somehow capturing him prevents the natural chemical reactions of fire from happening, or prevents the natural action of platelets scabbing over a wound. But maybe this isn't the show to overthink with too much science. | |||
So Hercules and Xena were fighting because neither wanted the other to use the sword to free Prometheus, and be destroyed in the doing. The solution seemed to be about as easy as I was thinking, even if done in a more complicated way using skydiving from crazy birds--use the sword as a ranged weapon rather than a melee weapon, and there's nobody holding it to turn to ash. | |||
Interesting to see Gabrielle looking to Iolaus for like... tips on how to better sidekick.}} | |||
