Dislikes

-Megara. She was not an interesting character. Without her signature sass, she's not entertaining at all. If I had written this episode, I would change all her lines from fearful to sassy tone, and all her fearful actions to self preservative ones.

-The slight retcon of the quill. At the very least they could have said that a special kind of ink, or paper from the underworld was needed to write people back to life rather than just "The Apprentice Lied"

-Lack of Hercules's and Megara's origins explained. For example what was her unfinished buissness? I know they were short on time, but maybe if they had revealed Meg had sold her soul to Hades (alike her movie backstory), and was a damsel in distress to lure Hercules into dying, and her unfinished buissness was to help him defeat Ceberus, maybe that would have given them closure. I think Meg was across the board everyone's complaint about the episode. The actress did a great job, and after Cerberus was defeated she actually seemed like the Meg we all know and love... But before that? Dear God, what a cowering wimp. You're a damsel, you're in distress, but you can handle it.

They basically had her there to acknowledge the Disney movie, nothing else. They could've replaced her with any of his other three wives from the myths and no one would've suspected a thing, honestly.
