this makes me happy. although i liked sorbo -- he christafied a sort of gilgameshy role -- but i am not a girl, so...maybe his acting mattered miore and he looke dstrong enough. but NBC seems to be taking a different tack..
i like that they are dealing with the parts ofthe ledgend that gave sorbo nightmares -- (SAVE MARCUS!!!) but there is a great scene in my fave ep of andromeda: starring sam sorbo -- his underrated wife -- where he as dylan hunt is in bed contemplating what if he ghurt of killed his wife. great compsure and he obviously works a pat as far down as he could. i think his good acting made his hercules sort of palatable given that it is an ancient greek myth.
