[@MrMharris1990]

I love it when Xena is good but when she’s bad she’s bad 😂😂

[@Losrandir]

To the bone!

[@SeriousStrategy]

Definitely. Good Xena was far more entertaining than Bad Xena, a Saturday Morning Cartoon villain

[@podsmpsg1]

Hercules was right, Xena was using Ioalus to get to him. Hercules was holding back in the fight too, he didn't want to hurt him, which he could have. People seem to forget that Hercules is a Demi God with super strength and other abilities.

[@youknowwho257]

Not just super strength, he is most powerfull fisicaly than any god, even than zeus hinself, a mere human or even a demi god could never be any match for hin in a fight. The series were never consistent in this aspect, but i guess they had to nerf hin that much just to use hin, otherwise we would had no series =D.

i watched a bunch of those movies, really enjoyed them .

[@Kzod-lp]

Kevin Sorbo,absolute Hercules. Lucy Lawless,lust.

[@JohnDoe-zr8pc]

Funnily enough, there’s info out there that Sorbo & Lawless really did hate each other IRL, with Sorbo saying she couldn’t act and only got the job by sleeping her way into it, and Lawless saying that Sorbo was just jealous that Xena became just a popular as Hercules, but in only a few episodes, whereas Hercules had been on for like 4 years already.

[@heretik21]

Obviously he said that before Lucy Lawless did Spartacus, but wow she was incredible in that series. He can't hold a candle to her acting abilities.

[@KitsuneAdorable]

Not that it matters, but I think he works (and stars in chess movies) on a Christian movie network. 🤷🏻‍♀ To be honest, I did prefer the series Xena over Hercules. I never saw the appeal of his show. It's too bad to hear that he said those things about her. I enjoyed the series Andromeda on TV years ago.

[@andrewnlarsen]

@@heretik21 even before going onto Spartacus, Lucy Lawless was also on RDM's Battlestar Galactica. So she already had the acting abilities.

[@TINKERB121]

Lucy outacts Kevin by a country mile, even in her early guest appearances where she’s struggling with her accent Hercules was only out for a year when Xena got the spin off. With her own show Lucy makes a huge improvement in her acting where Kevin remains wooden the whole series.

[@HittokiriBattousai17]

This show was just so much fun.

[@TaliaIGhul]

The episode in which Xena played the part of Yoko Uno. 😛

So, is Iolaus John and Hercules Paul? I wonder who's George and Ringo...

[@NealIRC]

You know Iolaus is only 5'6". I remember in 1999, when I was starting 6th grade, I was 4'8". This fighting Pokemon called Machoke was 4'11" and he evolves into Machamp who is 5'3" and then Iolaus is 5'6". Well, I surpassed all their heights, but still a little shy shorter than Lawless. By the way, does anyone know if Iolaus actor was #1 choice? Was he chose because of his height? Michael Hurst. I wonder if he was chosen just to make Sorbo seem tall too.

[@podsmpsg1]

5'7". Lucy Lawless is 5'10", Kevin Sorbo is 6'3".

[@tjtenser7828]

He was chosen for his talent and his chemistry with Sorbo.

[@podsmpsg1]

[@ДенисСапёлкин-й5б]

Well, there were a lot of beautiful women there.Especially considering my teenage years at that time. They were all hypersexual and simply admired. And the already mentioned Hera with peacock eyes (Meg Foster) and the black pirate Nevula (Gina Torres) and the horned Siberian witch shaman Alti (Claire Stansfield) are good in their own way. But Kalisto's (Hudson Leick) burning hatred is of course a separate song.

I'm seeing Lucy Lawless for the first time before she got her own show, and the first thing I noticed is that she had plastic surgery. Definitely had a nose job and something with her eyes. It's a shame really; I think she looks even more beautiful here before going under the knife.

[@TINKERB121]

She definitely has the same face she’s just younger here

[@wayneemery5709]

God this is bad 😂

[@luzbelquintero]

Oh, my god, what a terrible actor Kevin Sorbo is 🙄

Even Lucy Lawless is much more wooden in these early Hercules, I guess she ain't got that much to work with. Oh well, I'm entertained enough

[@tjtenser7828]

Yeah so terrible he made this series one of the biggest worldwide successes at this time. Not bad for a "terrible actor".

[@shonda0413]

It amazes me how cheesy this show was. I don’t remember it being THIS bad but apparently I must have rosed colored glasses because this is pretty rough haha

[@subutaynoyan5372]

@@dppatters Television in the 90's were way way different than today and Xena was 90's personified actually. And it wasn't even American, it was shot in NZ with a humbler budget I assume. Television started to change into what it is today, with HBO trying more adept stuff like OZ and more importantly, Sopranos! And also Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a usually overlooked show that actually tried so many things you'd see for cinema in a usual network such as Fox After that, came Lost, and then budgets improved massively etc.

[@flammingdragon]

He voices Hercules in God of war 3

[@MusketeerGweneth]

@@subutaynoyan5372 Definitely a humble budget since in some scenes like in Prometheus Xena bounces off the side of a "mountain" and causes it to wobble like cardboard. 🤣

[@kiryu2452]

⁠@@dppattersYou do realise they meant it as that way right? The show was always meant to have that cheesy feel to it. There were serious moments but at its core it was always a light hearted comedic show. If you prefer to watch the garbage they call tv then I feel sorry for you.

[@ingolf82]

lol the acting... I did like that raised eyebrow reaction from Xena though. Fun fact, this was not Lucy Lawless's first role on the show. in Episode 6 she plays "Lyla". this is 3 episodes before the first episode with Xena.

[@henkman00]

And Lyla was her second role on the show, Xena the third. the first was an amazon in the first Hercules movie. (pre-season 1)
