The outdoor scenes lost a lot of credibility for me, when I started spotting the English Heritage logo around. To (mis)quote Brother Mace standing in front of the Descendor in Series 5: 'Now, do you know what an anachronism is?'

I agree, season three was really enthralling, although I think season two is my all-time favourite. (Show that season, Challenge! Forget season six, show some more early episodes.)

I'm not saying that S3 was outdoors by the way, I'm just pointing out that, if we say S8 was outdoors then by the same logic, S3 should be seen the same way. In fact, you could even argue that every season was slightly outdoors  -  at the end of every quest in in S1 & 2, the departing teams signed off from an outdoor location.

i like the way they went down many floors on the lift and still ended up outside lol
And that 4 floors under it was snow..  thats what i really hated.

Hmm... going back to the original topic, These images werent really outdoors as I meant.



Technically yes they are supposed to be outdoors but they are still computer generated and they are still fantasy scenes.

Series 8 definately has a 'this is the end' feel to it. For a start it didn't have the same kind of feel to it as the previous series had sort of cliff hangers like in series 6 with the red dragon and treguard says 'there are quiet moments prepared to stoop down... and pick up the gauntlet! and it will be thrown down again, you can count on that'. And of course the troll in series 7, these all had a sort of see you next time feel at the end of the season, however with series 8 it was just Treguard asking Lord Fear if he was ready to surrender. It kind of brought a final close to the show.

Hmmm, I always thought the end to S7 was more "final" than the end to S8. Because in S7 there's the reference to the "defeated tyrant" while in S8 he's certainly not defeated. Ah well.

[Skarkill]

Thats true I suppose KM-Fan but non the less thay still don't have the clausticphobic feel of the dungeone chambers and such.

Even though I have enjoyed watching series 5 on challenge, I think when you compare them its definately the worst...

1. The teams were very slow, they would spend ages in one place and the whole thing, the speed they walked.

2. The smirkenorf flights were too long, the advisors didn't know what to say during this sequence and in my opinion when there is a slience its just completely borring.  ::)


3. Not enough mixture of rooms; also more eye shield sequences than anything else. All outdoor scenery, no dungeons whatsoever: where has the knightmare dungeon theme gone??? You almost begin to wonder where the whole point of the show has dissapeared to.

There were little things about 1991 knightmare that were good-ish, but none of them were things we werent getting in series 6.

I strongly hope challenge get series 6 as its my 2nd favourite (besides series 3) and series 8 was kinda cool too - if you could have taken series 3 and had it completely the same but use the scenes from series 8, thats your perfect series of km  ;D

I agree with most of that except the bit about season six. It was okay, but there were far too many causeway puzzles in it. There were times when it got really monotonous.

Look at the team who won that year. They had to cross three causeway puzzles in a row just before they picked up the quest object, and it took something like six minutes of just repeatedly doing exactly the same thing.

[Skarkill]

I actualy found The Great Caussway (Thats the one your thinking of) to be one of the best elements of S6 and it can claim a victim.

I can't remeber the name But it was the girl who gave cheek back to Elita ("an good for her The little Elf Brat got what she deseved.") She died a few steps from victory.

[HStorm]

I'mnot saying the causeways were bad puzzles, just that they were overused.
