In 1995, a new TV show called “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys” (HTLJ) caused a sensation in TV world. Loosely based on the rich mythology of Ancient Greece, and, as the series progressed, featuring Norse and African mythologies and religions as well, up to and including the rise of Christianity.
It proved so popular it spawned 2 spin-off series, among which “Xena: The Warrior Princess”, a series that at one point surpassed Hercules in popularity, if memory serves well. The success of these shows also resulted in countless lookalike shows using a similar formula, among which a Conan series and the underrated gem called “Roar”, starring Heath Ledger.
But I digress. Back to Hercules & Xena! An interesting theme that at one point, both shows began featuring a recurring theme, a larger arc if you will, of the death of the old gods, Norse and Greek alike, while newer religions and godlike beings are rising.
Enter “Revelations”, one of my favorite episodes of HTLJ, where none other than the archangel Michael shows up, apparently plotting to destroy humanity, and start the world over anew. In this he enlists the help of his old buddies, the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Naturally, ol’ Herc is not amused, and with his buddy Iolaus and the reluctant help of his half-brother, Ares, the Greek god of war himself, he decides to take on the archangel and his apocalyptic allies.
This is in - my humble opinion, naturally - one of the better episodes of this series. It has all the usual ingredients: lots of action, the series’ typical humor, the clashing of different mythological beings, cats & dogs living together... The works!
As it turns out, the episode is available in 7 parts on Youtube:
