Man In The Top Ten Herc Eps

This episode is great intense fun it has many thing's going on at once it's never boring, And the ending has a good moral that's not cheesy! The other character besides Hercules was only in this episode but he's a great character you really hate him at first then come to understand why he's that way it's a shame he wasn't in more episodes of the series This also proves that Hercules could be just as intense as Xena when it wanted to be so if you're looking for some classic Hercules episodes here you go right here. I Also heard this is Kevin Sorbos favorite episode 10/10 Season three is where Hercules really hit it's stride season was good two better but three through five is Hercules in his heyday good nostalgia Television right here(:

Enjoy

Nothing shy of Amazing!

Warning: Spoilers
I was a big fan of the show and the movies prior to this episode, but when i saw this masterpiece i was gobsmacked!

Not only did Michael Hurst ace as a director, but having the plot 90% focus on two people throughout and still keep it engaging was brilliant. Always reminded me as a kid that sometimes its not just about black or white mentalities, the mercenary sure clearly was a killer and a clever one at that but by the end you could feel through the screen that he had a heart! Which Hercules notices during the episode. Especially when he see's him with his family.

Hercules and Derk saving each other throughout in the desert then herc putting him on the right track was probably the most heart warming end that iv ever seen! This is certainly one of the best episodes in the Herc universe!

Btw - Those sand creatures were badass!!!
