yes, thats the point, that life force clock was only used at that time in season 6, when they brought in the new one, So a reference to the early series.. small but still.
My life is an endless purgatory interruped by profound moments of misery
Series 5-6 were where Knightmare essentially 'came of age'. The technology at the time (before the full CGI) had progressed about as far as it could go and the all the various gameplay elements, IMHO, were about as well balanced as it was gonna get.
Who's to say that Knightmare hadn't started to realise that they had a 'cult' show on their hands? 6 years run with no visible sign of stopping (@ the time)? The various references to classic quests are probably a 'tip o'the hat' to the loyal fans that followed from the beginning.
There are but 2 rules in this realm:-
1) He who sees first is the winner...
2) He who is seen first is toast...
The above reasons show why S6 is my fave. And YES I would say Lord Fear is especially good this year, the plots are more detailed and I love the mines of gore. The whole great causeway sequence looked stunning.

Totally agree with all you said. For me, s6 was Lord Fear's finest. Will never forget the 1st episode and the moment Matt entered the Dwarf tunnel. I was blown away and felt s6 was going to be amazing. - it was!
