H:tLJ screencap update

[marycrawford]

Look at my new icon, then guess which Hercules: the Legendary Journeys episode I chose to screencap today.

That's right. Maze of the Minotaur. The 'Mommy, what's Daddy doing to uncle Iolaus?" one. Just the thing in the middle of an exhausting, meeting-filled week.

If you haven't seen it before, I urge you to have a look at Ryp's hilarious Abridged Version of the episode with added viewer commentary, or Melisande's fictional version for the Real Legendary Journeys, which is much more sensible than the real episode. (Unlike the original writers of this ep, she doesn't let Iolaus reminisce happily about an event which canonically he cannot possibly remember and which ends in his own death.)

Note: I experimented, and this time I made fullscreen caps and then saved them in 1024x768. I'd really like to know whether you think this is a good idea for upcoming caps, provided I have space to host them. (The resolution of the original DVD's is only 720x480, so that's what earlier screencaps were made in. I hope that makes sense.)

Because the files are so large I'm not posting full caps in my LJ this time, just a few tantalizing thumbnails.

The caps are on my site, here.

Oh, you've got some nice moments here. Man, did I need this today.

I know exactly what you mean. ;-)

I mentioned that our DVD player seems to be working right again, didn't I? Oh, several times already? Good, good.

Aw! {sympathy}

Hee! If you don't mind fastforwarding through the rest of the ep (most of it is taken up by clips of earlier shows) I will definitely show you this, it's one of the defining slash moments in the series. :-)

And thank you for the sympathy.

I had not idea that HtLJ was such a suggestive show! Maybe I should have been watching it all those years ago.

Heh. Well, this was one of the more blatant episodes, but there are others, believe me. (Hercules measuring Iolaus' inseam comes to mind...)

I love the moment here where Hercules hoists Iolaus over his shoulder and tells the innkeeper 'We would like two rooms'. You can see the man think "Whatever would you want the second room for?"

I think there are reruns on the SciFi channel if you want to take a second look. :-)

Ooh, pretty!

Shirtless and suggestive. Yay!

Boy, did I need to see these today. Thank you!

You're welcome! I'm glad they had a tonic effect on you, too. :-)

Ooh, nice ones! There can never be too many Maze of the Minotaur screencaps out there. :-)

Thanks - and I agree. :-)

You have gorgeous caps of that episode, so I did try to pick different moments. But I'm sure I made some near-identical caps too, because who could resist the barn scene? *g*
