In ‘God Fearing Child’ Hercules and Hera worked together to get Cronus’ bones to kill Zeus. This was Zeus’ response to the characters individually for it:

Zeus to Hera: “You’ve disappointed me.”

Zeus to Hercules: “You’ve never disappointed me. Especially today.”

The understanding that a man can be autonomous and can still be deserving of respect but a woman cannot…

It’s a double-standard because they worked together in going against Zeus and yet Zeus still respects his own son but not his own fucking wife who defied his orders too. I see how it is. This is why ‘Hercules’ the show is not ‘Xena’ the show because there’s none of that bullshit.

It’s blatant sexism and misogyny the text doesn’t want to acknowledge outright. I knew something about this episode threw me off. Even though it’s the exact same Universe, it’s not the same show because those kind of moments belong in Hercules’ world. Not Xena’s world.

You could say it works because Zeus is technically the “villain” of the episode and a villain would be like this. But I am reminded of that line from Ares in ‘Ties That Bind’: “sometimes the best man for the job is a woman”. And he was the “villain” in that episode. Or one of them.

And even his lines in this episode didn’t feel right at all.

It says that the writer for the episode is Chris Manheim.

But I don’t buy it because this episode isn’t my beloved XENA. Besides from that… There are several recastings which are really horrible choices. I just don’t feel good about this episode at all. It doesn’t feel authentic to me.

The only thing that’s worth my attention about it is this:

Perversion for Profit

Perversion for Profit is a 1965 Eastmancolor propaganda film financed by Charles Keating and narrated by news reporter George Putnam. The film argues that sexually explicit materials corrupt young viewers and readers, leading to acts of violence and "perverted" attitudes regarding sex—including inclination toward homosexuality. Although Perversion for Profit was serious in its suggestion that pornography could erode the integrity of American culture, Peter L. Stein of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote in a 2003 review that it was "shrill and sometimes comical".[1]

Another World - Final Scene (1999)

It was 21 years ago today, on Friday June 25,1999 that Another World aired its final episode after 35 years on NBC.  The soap, produced by Procter & Gamble fell due to low ratings, and to make room for the NBC soap Passions (think Bewitched as a Daytime Soap), which lasted eight years on NBC.  Another World was the first soap to expand to 60 minutes (which it did in January 1975), and one of only two 90-minute soaps (which it was from 1979 to 1980).  The soap had TWO Spin-Offs - Somerset (from 1970-1976) and Texas (from 1980-1982), and launched the careers of the likes of Morgan Freeman, Howard Rollins, Anne Heche, Luke Perry, and more.  The soap won a handful of Daytime Emmys, including Outstanding Drama Series (only in 1976), Lead Actor (Douglass Watson in 1980 & 1981; Charles Keating in 1996), and Lead Actress (Laurie Heinemann in 1978, Irene Dailey in 1979, and Linda Dano in 1993).

After Another World was cancelled, several characters moved over to Oakdale on As the World Turns, as well as the final AW showrunner, Christopher Goutman, who would be the showrunner for ATWT for 11 years, until ATWT was canceled in 2010 to make way for The Talk.  ATWT moved over from the CBS Broadcast Center to AW’s set in Brooklyn for 10 years, only to move back to the CBS Broadcast Center in 2009 after Guiding Light was canceled.

The crowning point of the finale was a gorilla hijacking Cass and Lila's wedding with James Brown's 1976 hit "Get Up Offa That Thing".  The final scene was with Rachel (Emmy-nominated Victoria Wyndham) and Carl (the late Emmy-Winner Charles Keating).

Military service doesn't give politicians like Duncan Hunter license to break the law

Military service doesn’t give politicians like Duncan Hunter license to break the law

Author: Ross K. Baker / Source: USA TODAY

Military service is an asset for a candidate, but not all veterans are noble. Duncan Hunter and other politicians who served are not above the law.

Most Americans correctly believe that military service is deserving of respect and gratitude, especially in time of war. The “thank you for your service” acknowledgment heard when someone in uniform is…
