Pop Culture References and Greekisms - Hercules's line, "Let me guess: It slices and dices, and if you act now, you get a free butt-kicking. But wait, there's more!" is a reference to Ron Popeil's infomercials. (Slices, Dices And Makes Julienne Fries)

Unanswered Questions - Tabor is revealed as Cheiron's son. He was born human (Iolaus II: "I guess you didn't inherit your father's... equine... things.") but it begs the question: who is Tabor's mother? What happened to her?
