My Comments:
This episode marks the first of a couple episodes that Herc and Iolaus (though
Michael Hurst does turn up a couple more times on the series, but not as his
namesake Iolaus) make on Xena: Warrior Princess. This episode is okay.
Herc and Xena share a nice kiss together as does Iolaus and Gabrielle--something
that sets up Iolaus/Gab shippers.
This definitely not one of the better season 1 episodes, but the fact that
Herc won't let Xena sacrifice herself is sweet.
