I like this episode but I still have some problems with some of the things that were included in it. The best part of the whole episode was Hero's emotions that were so much darker than ever before since the start of the series. To top it off the sadness really washed over his face and you could feel what the character was really going through. I just had to mention this because I have never seen such amazing acting before in my entire life. It's strange how one spectacular performance can make the difference between a good episode and a bad episode. One of the downsides of this episode though is that I feel uncertain how well the other actors matched that of the one playing hero in their performance. Queen Medea was top-notch ruthless as usual, which was perfect. However I feel like Oracle's character was much more powerful in the previous episodes than she was in this one. My only problem now is that I don't like the opening of the episode and I believe it should have been stronger. Personally speaking I would have started with something explosive like the war in Athens, and someone getting seriously wounded.
