More Hercules Season Four screencaps

I do hope I'm not spamming you all with screencap posts. I'm a bit under the weather (this is a genteel way of saying that I feel like a stuffed hedgehog), writing isn't going so well, and nothing could be more soothing than watching Hercules episodes and making screencaps.

I've uploaded screencaps for the fourth season Hercules: the Legendary Journeys episodes Hercules On Trial and Men In Pink to my site.

I agree with elke_tanzer's delight in the more outrageous H:tLJ episodes - I utterly adore Men In Pink. Yes, the plot is lifted almost scene for scene from Some Like It Hot, but I don't mind - that's one of my best-beloved movies, and I love this goofy, affectionate homage to it.

In brief, the plot is that Autolycus and Salmoneus are caught red-handed at a murder scene. In order to stay out of trouble for a while they decide to join the Widow Twanky's dance troupe, and before you know it 'Autolyca' and 'Salmonella' are dancing the 'hootchie-cootchie jiggle-wiggle' dressed in playboy bunny costumes, Autolycus romances a girl called Cupcake with the aid of a poodle and a strategic doughnut, Salmoneus discovers his inner femme fatale and gets hold of a man's family jewels, and there is more innuendo than in the previous two Twanky eps combined.

Hercules On Trial is a genuine courtroom drama, and it works quite well, I think. Lots of guest stars show up, including Lisa Chappell as both Dirce and queen Melissa, and the prosecutor is very convincing as he makes mincemeat of all the witnesses and tries to convince the jury that Hercules should be sentenced for encouraging rebellion, sedition and generally being too hunky too live. But my favorite bits, predictably, are the moments where Hercules is languishing in jail and Iolaus and Ares come to visit him - Iolaus supports him, of course, even though he thinks Hercules should stop being so noble and just break out, and complains about the prison food even as he's scarfing it down, while Ares comes to offer his half-brother an alliance. You could strike sparks off the delicious tension between Ares and Hercules in this episode, and I love the golden lighting of the prison scenes. :basks:
