Web Of Desire screencaps

Sorry to be spamming LJ tonight, but my upload finally succeeded, and now there are screencaps on my site for the fourth season Hercules: the Legendary Journeys episode Web Of Desire.

This is a fun episode, which uses a bit of classic mythology (Arachne, the woman who was turned into a spider by Athena for daring to boast of her weaving) and puts a typical pulpy H:tLJ spin on it. We have caves, we have people being eaten, we have a spiderwoman laying eggs in her victims' bodies, but most of all, we have Nebula, as played by Gina Torres.

Ah, Nebula. I have a total thing for her - she's drop dead gorgeous, she has a great line in snark, she kicks ass, she's a pirate and she has no compunctions about groping Iolaus practically from the moment she meets him. What's not to love?

And, well, I know I've quoted this exchange before, but she just has such a fannish appreciation of the whole Hercules/Iolaus relationship:

Iolaus: “Yeah. Be safe.”
Hercules: “You too. Good luck.”

They clasp arms, look into each other's eyes meaningfully, and finally part ways. Nebula observes this and laughs.

Iolaus: “What?”
Nebula: “Nothing. Quite a firm handshake between you two.”
Iolaus: “Yeah, so?”
Nebula: “So, I think it’s great.”
Iolaus: “Well, I’m glad you approve.”
Nebula: “Yeah? So? How long you two been together?”
Iolaus: “We’ve been partners since we were kids.”
Nebula: “Oh, ‘partners’.”

I still have to work on the Nebula/Iolaus/Hercules ideas falzalot keeps giving me. Yum.
