marycrawfordI've posted screencaps for three Hercules: the Legendary Journeys episodes over at Mary Crawford's Vices: War Bride, A Rock And A Hard Place (both 3rd season) and War Wounds (4th season).
As well as the usual thumbnail pages linking to larger images, I've also put up .zip files of all the large screencaps for these three episodes. I've had a couple of requests for that, and I'd like to know if you find this useful.

War Bride has yet another role from Lisa Chapell, the actress who also played Iolaus' girlfriends Lydia and Dirce and is a spoiled princess named Melissa in this episode. I like her quirky acting and her bickering with Iolaus, but this episode wasn't as well written as Pride Comes Before A Brawl or King of Thieves. However, there is the fabulous scene wherein Iolaus and Hercules have a mud bath together, but get sadly interrupted by a woman who wants to sell them timeshares. No, I'm not joking.
A Rock And A Hard Place is a low-budget episode set in Caveland, but it's quite grim and I like it for that; it has Hercules trapped in a cave, trying to reason with a dying fugitive who keeps saying that he's innocent of the murder he's supposed to have committed. Some kick-ass Iolaus moments here as he deals with a festive lynch mob and uses his experience as a onetime street kid to find the fugitive's runaway son.
War Wounds. Ah, War Wounds. OK, the writing is awkward in places, mainly because they had to spackle Kevin Sorbo's absence due to injury and then write him back in again, but c'mon, this has sand sharks! A prison island! Iphicles grieving and being comforted by Hercules! And finest of all, Nebula showering naked on the deck of her ship while Iolaus watches, not to mention their discussion later on where Iolaus asks if Nebula wants him to work off his debt in servitude, and Nebula points out that bondage gets a bad rap. Snort. I love my show.
I nearly choked at this bit of dialogue between Nebula and Hercules which I didn't remember hearing before:

I nearly choked at this bit of dialogue between Nebula and Hercules which I didn't remember hearing before:
Nebula: “I don’t understand. This wasn’t here before.” (She's talking about a wall blocking the entrance to the Sekrit Tunnel.)
Hercules: (punches the wall and makes a huge opening in it) “Something like this?”
Nebula: “No-- bigger.”
Hercules, under his breath: “They always want bigger.”
