Mystic Knights - Die Legende von Tir Na Nog

Mystic Knights is the best TV series I've ever seen!!!! The actors and actresses are great, the scenery is really beautiful, the music is excellent, the characters names sound old-fashioned, the Mystic Armor is great, the Little People of Tir Na Nog are cute, King Fin Varra is great, Angus is so smart, not to mention really handsome, Rohan is very good, Deirdre isn't a damsel in distress, Ivar is really strong, King Conchobhar is a great king, Cathbad is a really wise counsel, Aideen is really sweet, Queen Maeve is soooooooooooooooooooooooo evil, Torque is a great fighter, it's just a really great show!!!!

The Mystic Knights Of Tir-Na-Nog is fantastic. Some of the stories could be better, but I am sure that they will take care of that next season. The actors are really good, the fighting scenes are cool. The creatures could be a bit more lifelike though. All in all I love it! If I had to make a suggestion to the writers I would say, make the scripts for a broader age audience. Now don't get me wrong, I love what they did this season, but more interesting plots would not hurt. The season finale was way cool. I hope that next season starts out with the Knights battling Nemain and Mider. Now THAT would be good!

I remember tuning into this when it first premiered in the fall of 1998, and finding it to be a delightful surprise. It was from the creators of "Power Rangers," and each episode followed the tried-and-true "Power Rangers" formula, but unlike "Power Rangers," it managed to capture a sense of awe and wonder about it. I loved the armour of our Mystic Knights. So elegant. Just like magic armour in this kind of show should be depicted. Too bad that second season never materialized. I would have liked to see more in the Kingdom of Kels.

I'm confused by Deidre's "armor". (A short skirt and little bitty short sleeves?!? When the guys are covered head to toe?!?) If I were one of the enemy, I'd be aiming my weapons at her legs... but maybe she's wearing mystic stockings?

Also, did I miss something in the first episode? Maeve has said, several times, that her ancestors were cheated out of Kels, and that's why she's fighting to conquer it - if she's wrong, shouldn't somebody have said "Yoo-hoo, they weren't cheated, they lost it in a poker game!" Maybe that's how they'll end the series... the king will show Maeve her great-grandfather's marker, she'll slap her forehead in embarrassment, and call off her troops. :)

It's one of the aspects of Saban productions (cf Power Rangers) that I don't care for - that the villainesses are very strong, emotionally and physically, but the "good" girls are pretty much "yes-women" (that is, telling children that it's *bad* to have your own opinion and fight for what you want, but it's *good* to do what the boys say... it's not far from there to "math is hard, let's make cookies for the boys!").

And perhaps the production crew might think about a different method of putting the beasties on the screen - they're interestingly made, but don't mesh well with the live action.

I loved Mystic Knights from the first episode I've seen, which wasn't actually the first one of the show. Although I like the show so much, I was not satisfied with the finale. I always believed there was some other side within Maeve, which is not that bad, and that Rohan would manage it to wake this side of hers. Unfortunately the show ended bad for Maeve. And the second thing I really missed was the romantic end for Rohan and Deirdre. They'd make such a cute couple.
