Hercules is the ROMAN name for the son of Jupiter (Roman name for Zeus) and Alcmena. In Greek he was Heracles son of Zeus and Alcmene. The links should go to Heracles but be the name Hercules should show. It actually should be clarified in the first paragraph, but I'd be afraid to further confuse.

Given that Xena's TV show was a spinoff to the Hercules shows, shouldn't related pages be under a Hercverse group? Metalb (talk) 17:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Shoudl individual episodes have their own articles? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 12:45, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
At present, 29 of the 111 episodes of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys have their own episode articles. These articles follow a standard format. An example is As Darkness Falls:
So far as I can see, none of these episodes (not even the pilot) feature any secondary sources as references at all. Inbound links are also extremely minimal: the pages are linked only from the main list of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys episodes page, the infoboxes of the next and previous episodes, and from the biographies of the guest actors.
As these articles consist wholly of personal extrapolation of plot material, and are otherwise wholly accounted for in the main list article, I propose that they all be deleted. This RfC was suggested as a better way of judging consensus than a mass AfD.

I really think thats ridiculous. However, I just found this source [1] and Hercules, The Legendary Journeys: The Official Companion by Robert Weisbrot and I thought I should show it to you two. P.S. are you going to start a real AfD or what?
This show along with a variety of spinoffs and non-related but similar shows adopted a particular style of writing/acting that I am trying just now starting to trace. The style can best be described as "period theme scripts with strongly anachronistic (modern) language". Examples include everything in the "Hercverse", almost anything with Bruce Campbell, and more recently the movie A Knight's Tale. As I said, I am just now starting to look at this phenomenon but I am sure I could find many other examples in the past 25 years or so.
Can anyone point me towards any information on this subject? When did it start (earliest examples) ? Is there a name for this genre/style? etc ... Thank you. 66.97.213.202 (talk) 07:53, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
