Web Of Desire screencaps

[marycrawford]

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.




A rare quiet moment.



Nebula and Iolaus meet for the first time.



Nebula and Hercules meet for the first time. *g*



Iolaus and Nebula compare tattoos - yeah, they've both been in the East, and you just know they learned more than kung fu there...



Aaaand the groping begins (you can't see it, but her hand is on his...codpiece)



Kiss of the spider woman? Just say no.



To quote from one of my favorite H:tLJ stories: "You know how he is with dangerous women. He and Nebula started dating while we were still being attacked by giant spiders. I was down there fighting that damned thing and all I could hear up by the web was giggling.."



Nebula: "I think it likes you."
Iolaus: "What we need is a really big shoe."



Now you can see it. *g*

Thanks for posting these! I love this episode. Nebula will always be my biggest girlcrush, and she and Iolaus spark beautifully together.

Coming in late on this but, whoa! I'd somehow misplaced my brain and managed to forget who sizzling Nebula and Iolaus were together. Despite the bad monster effects (and when weren't they?), I think that was one of my favorite eps for the dialogue and the whole H/I/N vibe going on.

Yay! I agree, Iolaus and Nebula scorched the screen together, and I love that Nebula's first line upon seeing (and fighting) Hercules is an appreciative 'Whooof'. *g*
