Awesome / Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

• In "The Wedding of Alcmene", Alcmene gets her moment when she beats up a mercenary who kidnaps her and then later gives a treacherous woman, who was a spy for Hera, a well-deserved punch in the face.
• The reveal in "Surprise," where Hercules demonstrates he anticipated Callisto's treachery and will be able to escape the labyrinth without her aid.
  "That leads right back to the entrance. Surprise!"
• Hercules shaking off his Heroic BSoD in "Resurrection" - allowing him to face Morrigan in a rematch and win.
• Iolaus 2 taking a level in badass in "Love on the Rocks," in which he overcomes several mooks alone to rescue his girlfriend Nautica.
  • In the same scene, Aphrodite gets into a fistfight with Discord and kicks her ass.
• Salmoneus in "Eye of the Beholder," his very first episode. Hercules and the Cyclops are battling Hera's forces to defend a village. The villagers, however, refuse to help Hercules because they deem the Cyclops a freak. The salesman doesn't stand for that.
  Salmoneus: It would be better to die with him than to stay here with eunuchs like you.
• Xena surviving the gauntlet.
• In "Judgement Day," a powerless Hercules has been framed for the murder of his wife and set upon by an angry mob, Iolaus unable to help. Suddenly, a high-pitched cry echoes, a disc-shaped object slices off the tips of the mob's spears and Xena (with Gabrielle close behind) leaps into the fray to help Hercules.
• In "Judgment Day," a Brought Down to Normal Hercules attacks Strife for murdering Serena and still kicks his ass. Strife only turns the tables when Ares reminds him that he's a god and to use his powers, but it doesn't take long for Zeus to make things fair. Cue an epic thrashing.
  Hercules: Strife, I'm back. (POW)
• Hercules punches Sovereign in "Stranger in a Strange World".
