Although the actors for King Sisyphus and Queen Karis return from Death in Chains (1995), continuity is ignored in several aspects. In Xena's adventure, Sisyphus trapped the female death god Celesta. He was later reasoned into letting her go of his own free will, being told that it wasn't his time to die yet. There was never any indication that he put someone else to die in his place. Yet in Hercules' adventure, Sisyphus is remembered as having trapped the male death god Thanatos, and the substitution of Timuron is a crucial plot point. Sisyphus' basic nature has also changed, from a basically good man who got carried away, to a deep-dyed villain with no morals at all.
Iolaus questions Hercules if he can catch six and twelve arrows. However, there are only five guards on the ground and five on the roof with crossbows.
Hades sends an incompetent goon squad in a failed attempt to recruit Hercules by force, even though he could grab Herc himself with his electric zapper. Ultimately he wins Hercules to his side anyway, by appealing to his sense of cosmic justice. So why did he even bother with the goon squad?
