Final team killed by blades?

Post by mogred »

i watched the last episode of series 4, and it seems that the last team had a let off in the corridor of blades... no?

they didnt move very quickly when one blade came towards them and we cut back to the guides briefly before return to see the blade just miss the dungeoneer?

was he saved so that they could fill the final 4 minutes?

I postulated much the same possibility on the thread I started earlier this afternoon. I think they were indeed let off somewhere.

I think that they were let off, but that might of been because it was the last episode and so close to the end!

I agree, any other team, any other time in the series they would've died.

Still, you must be really annoyed if you are the last team of a series, you don'even get to finish your quest.

I'm not sure the blade touched him, either. At most it gave him a glancing blow. I don't think it was enough to merit stopping the quest. As mogred says, though, I think it was also a case of not having enough time to start another quest.
Subject to change.

It's awfully close.  Looking at where they are, and where the blade is, a split second before this screen shot, it must have hit them.

Actually the blade i saw that I thought hit them came from the left side and that did touch them as far as im concerned.

I watched my tape of the Corridor of Blades scene in freeze-frame just now, and there's one point where a the edge of the blade clearly passes through Giles!  :-*
Then we cut away to the advisors.

I agree, they were probably let off because it was the end of the series, like that team which died on the serpent's tongue but were allowed to continue because the backup team hadn't arrived!

Edit: I wonder, if the dungeoneers actually stood up, would the high blades actually hit them? Judging by the height, I'd think not!

It could've been to the producer's advantage if they were killed off fairly then - then there would've been no complaints about not finishing the dungeon.

Which number blade is it?  *goes off to watch video in freeze-frame*  it's very difficult to tell because of the perspective, the camera view isn't right behind and on a vertical level with the dungeoneer so a blade will quite often obscure your view of him, but it hasn't actually hit him...

Sorry about the lines on the first one, it's because the original TV picture was interlaced and the capture card can only grab one frame. Looks to me like these two blades actually touched them - the second one for definite!

On the second pic you can also see the outline of the blue room which was used for the Corridor of Blades scenes!

Ooooh, well done indeed. It's the second one that I'm pretty sure hit him. Your screenshot is just as it passes him, I think. A few milliseconds earlier, I think he's even more in cutting range. :)
