Stranger in a Strange world. Almost everyone from Hercules and Xena were in it. And that episode was funny as hell!!!

Reunions for me. Loved not only seeing Hera at long last, and Meg Foster was great, but the big showdown with Hercules at the end on Mount Olympus. Wow. And I'd been waiting for something like that for four seasons.

I guess Reunions even though it should have lasted WAY longer than just 1 episode. For a minimum, they should have milked that for at least 3 eps.

Top God could have been a great episode, more conflict with Zeus, but instead most of it was a flashback, like the episode before it too.

Reunions was good as it showed Hercules finally accepting his role as an Olymmpian. I would have liked it more had they shown more of them there on Olympus accepting Hercules into the fold but it was understandable that they did not as there was a power struggle at the time. I wish he had shown more of his new powers when he finally faced off against Hera.

But as for my favorites...there were two. The first one was revelations when he faced off against the Archangel Michael. Normally, Hercules was able to best his opponents pretty easily and rarely did they give him a close fight. But Michael was able to easily thwart Hercules in their battle. The best moment was when he kept at Michael and Michael just used his power to hold Hercules mid-flight to which he uttered "Boy, I am WAY out of my league!" But it ended well as Hercules being the one to sacrifice himself for humanity (nice reference) was able to give people another chance.

And the other favorite had to be the finale. Hera and Zeus reconciled, Hercules and Iolus went away, and Ares' ego was bruised reducing him to more of a nuisance. They walked off ready for more adventures unknown. The only regret was that they used the crossover to have Hercules kill his father (with Hera dying as well) and that didnt sit too well with me. Although I did appreciate that Hera protected Hercules.

'The Gauntlet' is my favorite episode so dark and with all of the darkness in that episode and the violence around, Salmoneus was there to lighten up the episode and add humor, the facial expressions he got out of Lucy's evil Xena were priceless.

The dailies of this episode is either on the Season 4 or 5 DVD set and some of the scenes had to be shot over and over again, nobody could keep a straight face.

Lisa Chappell did appear on 'Hercules' again, she played Rob Tapert's assistant Mellisa Blake in 'Yes Virginia There Is A Hercules', and 'For Those Of Us Just Joining Us'. Played off Bruce Campbell's Tapert pretty well.

Yes, Virginia. There is a Hercules has to be in my top 5. It's a clip show, so it can't really be the best. But, it's got to be one of the best framing devices for a clip show I've ever seen. It's one of the best!!!!
