Really, I wish they'd bleached it a couple more times so it was pretty and platinum instead of that sad yellow.

Me too! I mean, I don't object to him being blonde - I think it worked...okay in LotR, even if they still didn't dye his face fuzz - but it looks really bleached and fake here, and I think if they'd gone a couple shades lighter and shaved him a bit more thoroughly it might have looked nice. As it is...well, I'll deal with it because it's Karl Urban, what can I say.

I remember a few more episodes of Hercules than I do of Xena, because I remember Kevin Sorbo being in something without his mere presence being an in-joke. Not much beyond that, though.

You can tell that Lucy Lawless came onto the set that day, read the script, said "What the everloving fuck?" then laughed her ass off. What else can ya do? She had babies to feed. :/

Really, when you're starring in any kind of TV fantasy/SF, you're going to get episodes like that. I think any actor who goes into genre practices their game face and says lines like "By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Sons of Warvan, you shall be AVENGED!!" in the mirror in a dead serious voice for practice.
