Hercules the Legendary Journeys: "Atlantis" screencaps, or, When Fandoms Collide
"Atlantis" is a third season Hercules: the Legendary Journeys episode that I hadn't rewatched in ages, probably because Iolaus isn't in it, and it was a pleasant surprise. It also set my brain spinning, because ... Well. Let me explain. No. There is too much. Let me sum up.
- Atlantis is, of course, Atlantis. An island city of tall spires and advanced technology, whose citizens do not believe in the gods. They have airships and doomsday weapons. In fact, they have staff weapons that shoot lightning and stun you. And thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
therienne I have been watching Stargate: Atlantis, and doesn't this just beg for a crossover? Preferably with McKay in it, because I highly approve of him. Even if nobody will believe me that he is Andrew from Buffy, grown up. (Of course he has a bigger ego! He grew up! Ahem.)
- The main character, Cassandra, is played by Claudia Black of Farscape fame (and apparently also SG1?). She's gorgeous, and she has an instant rapport with Hercules that really works - they're just comfortable with each other, this quirky woman who lives alone in the woods and has visions and doesn't believe in the gods, and the demigod who washes ashore. Not really flirting, even though Hercules takes his shirt off and she does the comfort thing. Just friendly. 's Nice.
- I would not let Hercules on my ship ever. EVER. The ship he's on in Web of Desire gets blown away by a storm, while the crew gets eaten by a giant spider. Nebula's ship, he tries to kill himself with, but instead he just destroys the ship. The ship he's on in this episode gets fried by Atlantean lightning. And I bet there's more. The man is worse than Odysseus.
- Hercules wears an actual Greek chiton in this episode. No, really. He doesn't appear to like it much, though. One gets the feeling he's quite glad that Iolaus isn't there to see it. *eg*
- And to top it all off, Hercules flies a glider to escape from the Doomed City. Wheeeeee! Demigods in airplanes! Also, my fandom is on crack.
( A few "Atlantis" screencaps and comments )
