Yes, Attica are the ones with Orestes. Michael's wealth of talent really shines through in those episodes- he manages to pull off two totally different characters, one that is already established- and while there is a sly wink to the audience that it is the same actor, Iolaus and Orestes are not alike at all, especially in the King for a Day . They become more alike in Long Live the King , but they are still different people. The good-bye scene between Niobe and Iolaus at the end of LLTK is a heartbreaker. You know they love each other, but they can't be together- Niobe has to run the kingdom and Iolaus can't leave Herc behind, nor would he be happy at court. It really cries out for a comfort scene after he returns to Herc- a whole I love her, but I love you more story that ends with Herc getting fucked b/c he lets Iolaus take total control that night, knowing he needs to be in control of something.
The whole 'Are you really really back" scene in the last epiosde of Season 5 both makes me laugh and makes me cry, at the same time. The writers nailed the reunion perfectly, well minus the hawt sex *g*- the incredulousness of Herc, the witty banter between them and finally, Herc's acceptance and utter joy at having Iolaus back. Props to Kevin and Michael for nailing it too.
Hercules did take him to the theater. It was a Season 6 epiosde, I believe. The teaser at the beginning had them leaving a show, with Iolaus all 'that was the worst thing ever' and Herc all 'it was great. it was about A, B, C and D' and Iolaus giving him a patented 'you are one crazy demigod' look, while eating something. God, I just can't remember which one is was.
