Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

The Gauntlet - S1-E12

Plot hole: It is pretty obvious that Hercules and Iloran are not responsible for destroying Spiros' village. Spiros saw the two of them, investigating the ruins unarmed, only when all the fires had long since died down.

Pride Comes Before a Brawl - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: When Hercules and Nemesis are in the boat discussing her assignment, the shoreline behind Hercules doesn't move behind him as they speak (so the boat is lying still). But whenever the camera cuts to Nemesis, you see the background slowly moving away (so the boat is moving).

Show generally

Question: Why is this show called "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and not "Heracles: The Legendary Journeys"? Heracles was of Greek mythology and Hercules was from Roman mythology.

Answer: Because most Americans are more familiar with the name Hercules. The show, as I recall, wasn't exactly true to the original Greek mythology anyway.
