+     |thoughts = Not just a Hercules-lite episode, but a Hercules-not-at-all episode. Just an Iolaus adventure beginning to end.
+Last episode we saw Hercules fighting big machines, and we see something not dissimilar here. Not large mechs, but suits of armor designed by a god and animated by godly forces. And as a guy with no godly powers, Iolaus does a fair job of putting a stop to them.
+The basic premise was pretty interesting. A town unfrozen after 50 years, everyone still just realizing what's happened. As soon as Iolaus said his father was from this area I had a pretty good idea where it was going, I'm just glad he was able to figure things out before he did something stupid like fall in love with his grandmother.
+So Hephaestus and Aphrodite say they haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, but Aphrodite also refers to Hercules as her big brother. He's no hundreds of years old, though. Is this just the way she phrases things due to him _appearing_ older with his human-like aging?
+Enjoyed Iolaus's callback of "Bitchin'", which Aphrodite introduced him to in her first appearance on the show.}}
