Haleh used the book of spells to summon Neibros, an evil warlock. But Seska had a change of heart and helped Hercules by undoing the spell. Haleh was sent back to the beyond, while Seska renounced witchcraft.

City of the Dead

Hercules and Iolaus arrive in Egypt just in time to save Queen Nefertiti from assasins. Iolaus suspected Princess Amensu of perpetrating the crime, because Amensu wanted Egypt to attack Greece while her mother did not. But the real traitor turned out to be Prince Ramses, who had appeared to support the Queen. He found the Necronomicon -- the Book of the Dead -- and used his new powers to send stone statues after Hercules and Iolaus. But they evaded the statues and retrieved the book. Ramses was destroyed upon reciting the book's incantation, while Nefertiti and Amensu were reconciled.

The events rekindled Autolycus' and Luscious' feelings for each other.

Arriving in Dacia, they were joined by Galen, whose sister Nadia had gone to Vlad's castle and never returned.

When Antigone was captured by Creon, Hercules raced through a minefield to save her from being executed.

Armand one of series who seems impose a trend. the Greek mythology as excuse for a lot of fight scenes and passion episodes, exotic civilizations and strange characters. and a Kevin Sorbo who transforms, in not uninspired manner, all the knowledge about the ancient hero. without be great, it is seductive. for the sex appeal of girls, for remember of basic moral values, for the lead character, courageous, wise and charming. so, a nice memory for a lot of spectators from "90. and not only because it has the science to be interesting for the mixture of script who seems be original, for presence of an Anthony Quinn and for the great friendship who brooks each speculation, challenge or danger.
Lumos You may think I'm contradicting myself in the summary up there, right by my eight-star rating. Maybe I am.Truth be told this series is bad. The stories are screwed up beyond recognition, count Dracula sometimes appears, the sets, clothes and scenes depicted are full of so many factual errors that my head is willing to explode only by looking at them.And that, as weird as it may be, is the best part of the show. Just so you know, I love watching bad films like Paul Ziller's plethora of B-grade apocalyptic films - I enjoy laughing my arse off while nothing on the screen makes sense.I guess I get a similar feeling while watching Sorbo as Hercules with crocodile skin camo pants treading about in the Bronze Age helping Antigone(!) the warrior-princess(!!) avenge her brother(!!!) by murdering(!!!!) the evil (or simply constipated, judging by his looks) Creon by chucking explosive bombs and avoiding land mines(!!!!!)... I daresay that's enough exclamation marks.However, this whole concoction of nonsense is hilarious at least. That's why it gets a solid eight stars from me.P.S.: I like "Andromeda" more. ;)
ffattahi I'm old enough to have watched and enjoyed the golden age of Hercules movies in the early 60s. Despite having grown up to understand that the acting in those movies were not so great I still hold a special place in my heart for those old flicks.So I was quite excited when I heard in the mid-90s that they were going to make a TV series based on the all powerful demigod. Very excited. Very Very excited. I couldn't wait to see who the new muscle-bound Steve Reeves in loin cloth was going to be.Well, then, they gave me Kevin Sorbo. In pants no less. And in a Greece that looked suspiciously like New Zealand. They didn't even bother to have him grow facial hair as all classic depictions of Hercules require. Excitement balloon instantly punctured. As likable as Mr. Sorbo is he is no Steve Reeves. And pants were not even invented in the time that the (mythical) stories were supposed to have taken place. I made a Herculean effort just to watch a full episode of this series. But I couldn't. Hopefully someone will do it right in the next TV series, if it would ever come.Depicting Hercules in pants and shirt with no facial hair is just as sacrilegious as if they ever tried to create a short, blonde James Bond.Oh, WAIT!!!!!....
reb-warrior Hercules The Legendary Journeys was chalk full of adventure, mythology, and action. Lots of slapstick. Muscle bound Kevin Sorbo did a decent job of playing Hercules. Tho, he was mostly wooden in his acting. He was surrounded by great actors, Michael Hurst, Robert Trebor, Bruce Campbell, Kevin Smith, Alexander Tydings, just to name a few. Michael Hurst in particular brought a lot of fun and humour to the show. Mostly different writers/producers from Xena, quantitative-wise. Xena never took away anything from it. If anything it added to it as a companion show. The complaints to this are usually from a few fans of a certain actor, and by this actor himself as an excuse to explain why Hercules wasn't more popular than Xena. As though saying: "There must be a reason. It can't be that Xena was simply liked better by more people." The ego can't handle that thought I suppose. The irony being that they are the ones that point out that Xena was better then Hercules more then anyone else. Always whining that Hercules was a "lesser" show because "Xena took away." A half empty glass.........Propping by dissing never works. The two shows were very very different even though both take place in the mythological genre. While both may have common fans, it's only logical that each would also appeal to different masses of fans. One was simply going to do better. It only makes sense. There's no way these shows would perform equally. Look at the CSI's for example, they all have different respective ratings. Not equal performance.I might add that Lucy Lawless was a huge factor. There is just something about her. Something special. Furthermore, where there have been countless male heroes on the screen there have been relatively very few female heroes. Thus adding a curiosity factor, an uniqueness, and just plain awesomeness of it all, which helped propel Xena to cult status. Not to mention that Xena is an absolutely wonderful show that has captured the hearts and imaginations of many.Got off track. Sorry. Needless to say, I for one prefer my glass half full. I enjoyed watching this show. Although I found the Hercules character too good to be true. Mr Perfect! Not much depth where he was concerned. He was always right. He never made mistakes. Personally, I prefer shades of grey in my heroes. The stories were too simple. There were never any complex nor thought-provoking stories. It's great for little kids though, and shallow loving people. If you want to see a superior quality show, watch Xena Warrior Princess. 5/10
