So it was a clip show... but this franchise does clip shows weird, too. Generally they're the type of thing you do to produce a cheap episode, but in this case the framing story is full of entirely atypical locations, costumes, props, which must've cost a pretty penny. | |||
The intentionally exaggerated bad French accents were quite amusing.}} | |||

|thoughts = }} | |thoughts = Time travel isn't exactly what I expected from Hercules, but done well enough. Though I don't buy that Hercules and Autolycus so easily start throwing around terms like timeline and paradox appropriately. | ||
Feels very strange that the time travel return of Hercules's second dead wife (though... now not ever wife at all) from just a handful of episodes earlier, doesn't even have the same actress. | |||
Double Bruce Campbell done well for the budget, and even directly references some similar shenanigans from [[Army of Darkness]]. | |||
So the episode tried to make the time travel as un-messy as possible. The events of this episode make a changed past, but nobody from the past remembers Hercules or Autolycus being there. But I still wonder how much this changes. Like, as things originally went Serena saved some people's lives with powers she now no longer has. But perhaps in the altered timeline, they no longer needed saving.}} | |||
