Happily reunited by Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) in a previous episode, gentle giant Typhon (Glenn Shadix) and his wife Echnida (Bridget Hoffman) (aka "The Mother of All Monsters")are now the proud parents of a bouncing baby, the squid-like Obie. Alas, the tiny tot is kidnapped by sneaky thief Klepto (Grant Heslov), who plans to deliver the child to the warlord Bluth (Tony Wood) -- who, in turn, intends to give Obie to Hera for her own evil purposes. As Hercules tries to retrieve the slimy little bundle of joy, Klepto finds himself turning over a new leaf, much to his own amazement. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Through a symbolic visual language that may be misunderstood by some, director and writer Derek Jarman has created an experimental film that at first appears to be the internal fantasy of one man. In reality, the story is about the love between two gay men (portrayed by Paul Reynolds and Philip Williamson), seen against a backdrop of bleak industrial cityscapes or abstract landscapes. The sound of a ticking clock, and the voiceover of 14 Shakespearean sonnets add poignancy and a sense of the brevity of life to the relationship of the two men. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
