Corrected Viewing Order
Due to several timeline discrepancies, it's fairly obvious that the aired episode order isn't the best order to watch the episodes in - several characters are show in episodes before they're introduced, and some events just don't make sense in the order they're shown. Ty and Bryn worked together to make this viewing order list of episodes. If you see any discrepancies, please Email me!

Breakdown of the Remix

Alright. Presuming that we keep "Treasure of Zeus" as the first episode and "Valley of the Shadow" as the last episode, we have a loose framework to start with. "Between Friends" and "What a Crockery" immediately follow, so they're automatically eps 2 and 3. Hercules is still really ripped up about Marco's death in the final episode, so I'm going to move "The Beasts Beneath" to the 49th ep spot.

Now it's time to start pulling out the episode arcs. Eurydice first, since she's the easiest: "Lure of the Lyre", "Fame", "Lyre Liar, and "A Lady in Hades" - not much time passes between them, so it's reasonable to put them in a row.
"Down and Out" has to be somewhere near the top, because it's the first time Heph is introduced, but after "Girl Trouble" because Lilith appears in it. All other Heph episodes must come after it.
"Winner Take All", "Dad Always Liked Me Best", and "Mommy Dearests" form the Castor-Lucious arcs, although time does pass between them.
"A Serpent's Tooth" and "Sweet Mysteries of Life" form Ruff's arc, although time does pass between the two.
Now, it's time for Cyane's arc. She appears pretty much in order: "1.05 Girl Trouble", "1.09 Amazon Grace", "1.11 Battle Lines I", "1.12 Battle Lines II", "1.46 Under Siege", "1.49 Ill Wind" - although only the Battle Lines have to be aired together. Because Hercules recognized Discord in "Inn Trouble" but met her for the first time in the Battle Lines arc, "Inn Trouble" joins the Cyane arc.

Anything with Lilith in it pretty much has to be after Battle Lines, since she doesn't really bond with the guys until after she comes back from the Amazons. However, in "Herc and Seek" the Lowacks come after the Tuition money that was collected in "Best Friends", so I want to put it near the top, after "Girl Trouble" when Lilith was introduced.
I want to move "Keeping Up With The Jasons" to after she comes back in Battle Lines. 'cause winning Daccuda should really be much closer to "No Way Out" and character building with mushroom picking, and I just can't see Lilith being so angry with Hercules in Battle Lines if they've already gone mushroom picking together. Considering she's dancing in Inn Trouble and they guys don't ask her to help out serving or cooking the food, I'm going to place it after Battle Lines but before "Keeping Up"/"No Way Out" when Lilith and Herc bond.

Now that most of the main arcs are pulled out, it's time to try to start placing episodes. "Teachers Pests" is one of the few episodes that don't have either Lilith or Heph, so I'm going to stick it after "Amazon Grace" but before "Battle Lines", while Lilith is gone. The other option is to stick it before "Girl Trouble", but I don't want to delay "Herc and Seek" any further away from the tuition money than I have to.
Next is "Cyrano de Hercules". Since it also misses Lilith, I'm going to put it also between "Amazon Grace" and "Battle Lines".
Considering Lilith is awfully friendly with the guys in Forgery, I'm going to put that after "No Way Out".
Next, is "Ares on Trial". Discord is in it, so it has to be after "Battle Lines", but Lilith does not make an appearance, so I'm more apt to put it before "Keeping Up". Which now poses the question - does it come before or after "Inn Trouble"? Remembering that she tried to kill Herc in Battle Lines, Discord again worked with Strife to "kill" Hercules in "Ares on Trial", while she only messed with him in "Inn Trouble". In "Inn Trouble" he says "Strife and Discord. I should have known" as opposed to in "Ares on Trial", when he doesn't call them by name upon seeing them. Because he sounds a bit more familiar with their antics in "Inn Trouble", I'm putting it after "Ares on Trial".
After that, the rest of the episodes seem to fall into place.

Except for a few last-minute changes. Once Jason is crowned king, he won't have much time to hang out with Herc and Iolaus, so anything he appears in has to be moved before "The Head That Wears The Crown".
"Iolaus Goes Stag" gets moved up between "Hind Sight" and "Head that Wears The Crown", since it has to be after Herc meets the Golden Hind but before Jason gets crowned.
"My Fair Lilith" gets moved right before "The Head That Wears The Crown", since Jason is getting all his corination gifts.
"Me, Myself, and Eye" gets moved to between "Get Jason" and "Hind Sight".
"Cold Feet" gets moved to between "Sisters" and "Golden Bow" due to the length of Jason's hair.
