Mystic Knights of 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!!!!

As a fan of history, mythology, and fantasy "Mystic Knights" show pulled me in from the get-go. It has semi-decent scripting, the costumes are fantastic (there are exceptions), it has pretty good acting, and the heroes and villains all play well off each other.

SCRIPTS--Half a script is pretty great, the other half falls flat, but its all mixed together, meaning many episodes turn out so-so. Also, some of the key players are repeatedly being given dead lines (King Conchobar and Angus for instance) they need to be given something... more. I'm not sure what but the writers should be able to come up with something. ACTING--Apart from some over acting by villagers (horrid lines they end up putting too much effort into), casting did extremely well in choosing their leads and so on. Everyone, good and bad, works well together! COSTUMES/WEAPONS--The everyday clothes that everyone wears are spectacular! Mystic Knight armor that falls short are Deirdre's and Garrett's. A chainmail bikini would probably have better protection in her case... and wouldn't look as plastic; his looks like bunch of snap-it-together pieces of brown plastic, when it should look bronze. Ivar's trident looks like it was bought at a discount store and while Garretts weapons look cool, they also look plastic.

Recently "Mystic Knights" has taken on too many "Power Rangers" traits, if you watch the show, you'll know what I mean. As the series progresses, though, it should find its niche and perfect its style. Overall, it is a wonderful show that all ages should enjoy (most of my friends and I watch it and we're all 20+). The plot thickens and twists, though it gets a bit juvenile in places, and everything just keeps getting more interesting. It might be of some interest to fans of the movie "Willow" or the T.V. series "The Adventures of Sinbad". A lot of adventure, a dab of mystery, a dash of romance, a sprinkling of forces at nature... Check it out! (My Score: 7/10)

Yes, I realize this was not too true to Irish mythology, and that it was similar to Power Rangers...but to me, it was closer to the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers than the shows that came after.

I enjoyed the continuing story lines, and the acting. But FOX canceled it - and when they did, they left a cliffhanger. That is one of the most unfair things to do with a kids' series, but maybe they were hoping for the cult following that then develops - sometimes. This time, I guess the cult following wasn't big enough - there were internet petitions and fansites, but the show was never put back on the air.

I really enjoy how well the relationship between Fairies and Human are portrayed. Sure, they can seem hot tempered, stubborn, or stand-offish, but hey...they're not Humans after all. I liked when Angus and Rohen fight, Aideen tries to fix things for them. She leaves in a huff, but the guys were all sorts of rude to her. I'd have been sick of Humans as well. People say sometimes the show is contradictory.....but it IS geared to 6 year olds. Sure others like it as well, and we can analyze it to death like no kids ever would.

I like the way the writers altered Deidre's armor, so as to be more appealing to males. I bet they all know female armor of the times were more cumbersome and less revealing, and how it helps differentiate the men Knights from Deidre ;)

The stories are believable and fun. Most shows are summed up in a half hour, and the plot might seemed rushed, but suspending imagination gives us the opportunity to have fun. Isn't that we watch the show? The action is fast paced and believable. Some of the best on tv. The actors themselves are all charismatic, and are talented to boot! Kudos to the casting department for assembling this group of believable, entertaining group. I was boiling water the other day and the show came on, and I had to stop, because of all the excitement! :D

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!
