Talk:Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

message: Hercules is the ROMAN name for the son of Jupiter (Roman name for Zeus) and Alcmena.  In Greek he was Heracles son of Zeus and Alcmene.  The links should go to Heracles but be the name Hercules should show.  It actually should be clarified in the first paragraph, but I'd be afraid to further confuse.

message: Given that Xena's TV show was a spinoff to the Hercules shows, shouldn't related pages be under a Hercverse group?

There is already a procedure for bundling articles for deletion requests explained here--->Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to list multiple related pages for deletion. Thumperward should start one there following that procedure and copy the comments Hammersoft and I have already made there. The discussion can then continue there.

Also, using other articles that lack third party sources as proof this should exist is a WP:OTHERSTUFF argument, and doesn't carry water. There is almost nothing that can be written about a television episode within an encyclopedia if there are no secondary or tertiary sources to support it. THis isn't the Hercules Wikia. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:17, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should individual episodes have their own articles? 

message: At present, 29 of the 111 episodes of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys have their own episode articles. These articles follow a standard format. An example is As Darkness Falls:
* A short introduction
* A plot summary
* A comment on continuity and guest appearances
* An external link to the TV.com episode synopsis
So far as I can see, none of these episodes (not even the pilot) feature any secondary sources as references at all. Inbound links are also extremely minimal: the pages are linked only from the main list of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys episodes page, the infoboxes of the next and previous episodes, and from the biographies of the guest actors.
As these articles consist wholly of personal extrapolation of plot material, and are otherwise wholly accounted for in the main list article, I propose that they all be deleted. This RfC was suggested as a better way of judging consensus than a mass AfD.

thread_title:  View from User:Thumperward (Chris Cunningham) 

message: This show along with a variety of spinoffs and non-related but similar shows adopted a particular style of writing/acting that I am trying just now starting to trace. The style can best be described as "period theme scripts with strongly anachronistic (modern) language". Examples include everything in the "Hercverse", almost anything with Bruce Campbell, and more recently the movie A Knight's Tale. As I said, I am just now starting to look at this phenomenon but I am sure I could find many other examples in the past 25 years or so. 
Can anyone point me towards any information on this subject? When did it start (earliest examples) ? Is there a name for this genre/style? etc ... Thank you. 66.97.213.202 (talk) 07:53, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
