Farewell Hercules and Iolaus
There is no real reason why this final season of "Hercules" should have been made, except to serve as a farewell to the characters that we came to know and love over the previous five seasons of its airing. This season only comprises eight episodes, with no continuing storyline to hold them together, but which serve to allow viewers to see some of their series favourites one last time. Episodes in this season feature appearances by Autolycus (Bruce Campbell), Aphrodite (Alexandra Tydings) and Ares (Kevin Smith), although Salmoneous, Morrigan and Nebula are all, sadly, missing.
The storylines of the episodes aren't bad, with all of them being average or above average. The stand-out best episode is one in which Autolycus runs into his ex-wife, Luscious Deluxe (Traci Lords), and gets accused of robbing the First National Bank of Greece. Other story lines include a story about vampire; one set in Egypt and featuring Queen Nephritite; and a rip-off of "The Craft". The final episode itself was probably my least favourite of the season. This episode focuses on Hercules and his relationship with Zeus and Hera, and it is let down by a lot of bad-acting and a dodgy, overly sentimental, script. Still, it least it's a better finale than that of "Xena".
Overall, I finished watching this season of "Hercules" with a feeling of satisfaction. I didn't regret watching these episodes and having seen them, I was left with a feeling of wanting more, but more in the sense that I wanted to go back and re-watch the earlier episodes, not in the sense that I want to see more episodes made, and that's the best way for any TV series to end.
Cheesy but good...
Okay I am a Hercules (well, Kevin Sorbo) fan, have been for a long time. So I like the whole series, but they could have added on a few more episodes with this one. There's only eight episodes total, and the rest is extras, behind the scenes and so forth. The last episodes are really good though, at least at that you will not be disappointed.
Great!
This was the best Television Series EVER! I dont even care that one or two of the episodes really stank. It is Hercules! I give it 3 stars!
