Re: regarding Herc
But KS got sick of that "Pollyanna nice Herc" and they tried to give Hercules some "darker stuff" to deal with (e.g., the Golden Hind arc, where he killed his (latest) wife). Then, he left anyway.
And I think KS is from Minnesota, hence the "Minnesota nice" description.
Beside, the only true Herc was the cartoon one With the strength of ten / ordinary men ..... who had the annoying little fawn sidekick with the high-pitched voice. Gosh, Herc, what are you gonna do now?!

Oh I think it was very conscious. It was quite refreshing to have the hero actually be a nice, reasonably well-adjusted person after the whole slew of 80's angry, angst-ridden anti-heros. (KS even reffered to Herc as "Minnesota nice" once in an interview. I lived there for a year, and I agree!) Of course they reverted to form with Xena, but that's another thread....
DDG looks very promising!![]()
