Hercules: The Legendary Journeys
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys Season 0
SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.
101: The Wrong Path 1995 January 29
(First watched 2025-02-06) So I knew from looking into the series months ago that it started out with Hercules's family being killed, but boy Hera sure didn't mess around. Fireballs through the windows to totally destroy their bodies in front of his eyes in an instant.
Also an easy explanation for why Zeus was around so often in the movies but not in the series: dipshit was off boning somebody else while his wife was killing Hercules's family, so he's too ashamed to show himself and Hercules doesn't want anything to do with him.
So Iolaus... he's basically Krillin, yeah? Oh, and his Bruce Lee moves and sounds survived.
So at the end Hercules basically walks off in a random direction, figuring he can do some good. Well, I suppose he will run across problems... but it leaves other people in the lurch, doesn't it? People used to go running to Hercules's house for help, but now there's never any telling where he is.
Also... Hercules starts on a Hera revenge tour, but then is reminded that helping people is the better thing to do. But... why not both? As long as he's wandering aimlessly, why NOT set Hera's temples as targets to knock down along the way?
102: Eye of the Beholder 1995 February 5
(First watched 2025-02-07) As a rule I don't want to nitpick over special effects for every episode. I'm going in with the understanding that it's both low budget and 30 years old. That said, some things are worse than others. The cyclops in this episode, the prosthetic worn over the top of his head was not so great. Didn't really match the rest of his skin color. Kind of seemed like somebody got a poorly fitting Klingon forehead prosthetic that accidentally went over their eyes.
Robert Trebor... what is this, the twentieth person to return in a separate role so far? But he is fair decent as a comic relief sidekick.
On the subject of comic actors, Castor and "Ferret" weren't exactly going for big laughs, but were appropriately over the top as campy villains. That's the kind of fun that doesn't need budget.
