She killed Hercules' family because she was angry with Zeus and tried to wipe out the entire human race at least twice. She spent all of her existence being an evil goddess who tormented the lives of humans for her own enjoyment, but now she's willing to sacrifice her life for them because she believes the time of the Olympian gods is over? What!? It doesn't make sense. She spent the entire series evil and was Hercules' nemesis. The two of them had an epic fight and she was defeated; that's how it should have ended. Reunions should have been her first and final appearance in the Hercverse. The Doctor: Davros, if you had created a virus in your laboratory, something contagious and infectious that killed on contact, a virus that would destroy all other forms of life... would you allow its use? Davros: It is an... interesting conjecture. The Doctor: Would you do it? Davros: The only living thing, a microscopic organism... reigning supreme. A fascinating idea The Doctor: But would you do it? Davros: Yes... yes. To hold in my hand a capsule that contained such power... to know that life and death on such a scale was my choice. To know that the tiny pressure on my thumb, enough to break the glass, would end everything. Yes - I would do it. That power would set me up above the gods! And through the Daleks, I shall have that power!

It was almost poetic and beautiful in a strange way. Dying with a kiss. I did think it was a bit sad for Hera to die just after she had become (kinda) good. But I guess it makes sense that if you betray zeus he would kill ya! hehe R.I.P Hera hehe "You Fight Like A Woman...Will Forever Be A Statement Of Respect!"

Hera was AWESOME when she was evil. She was far more dangerous than the rest of the Olympians managed to be during the twilight when they were fighting for their lives. Out of all the Olympians, she presented the greatest threat to mankind, and nearly wiped us out where Athena couldn't manage to stop a single mortal. I think that Hera's change of heart happened far too quickly on Hercules. After the death of Evander, it would have been nice to see her change from black to gray rather than from black to white. Like I've said before, the writers tend to make the gods all good or all bad very quickly. Except for Ares and Aphrodite, the gods had to be one thing or the other rather than more complex characters. . ~~~~~~~~~ I'm the King of Sweetness, my dear. --Hades to Persephone "Not Fade Away."

The writers used her perfectly on Hercules; they didn't overuse her and they saved her first on-screen appearance for a major blowout with Hercules. Meg Foster did not disappoint. She worked extremely well as an evil goddess and I never liked, or found believable, her change of heart. Hera's character was the only part I didn't like in the otherwise spectacular God Fearing Child. But I do disagree with you about the gods being two-dimensional characters. Hercules had many gods who were neither good or evil. Hades, Ares, Hermes, Aphrodite, Cupid, Apollo, Strife, Baldur, Odin, Thor, and especially Zeus. The gods were portrayed as petty and selfish, but rarely evil. Dahak and Hera (for the most part) are the only two gods that were portrayed as evil incarnate.

Athena was the only god whom Xena was unable to defeat in battle without help. She needed Ares' help to hold off Athena at Amphipolis while she beat Ilainus, and almost lost the killing power from God if not for Ares. I didn't mind Hera's end, but something a bit more heroic would've been nice. What happened demonstrated that even after years of tormenting Hercules with all her power and influence over creatures and people, Hera could easily be beaten by Zeus. She should have at least tried to fight him. My theory is that Hera "vanished" by Zeus taking her into himself with that kiss. He could have restored her but he was killed, and took her with him.

And luckily for her, she had also Ares on her side. But I think with or without the help from those two gods, Athena would still have a hard time trying to get rid off the warrior princess. Xena would have done anything to protect Eve, and probably got her hands on another god killing weapon then.. though, I would've liked a bigger battle between Athena and Xena at the end.. but thanks to Ares, ended pretty quick and deadly for our dear Goddess of wisdom. Same goes for Hera. I thought Zeus managed to get her out of the way so easily.. I had expected a bit more of a .. fight? Anyway, the kiss thing wasn't bad either, but wasn't my favourite option.
