This show is a show that is great for adults and children to sit down together and watch. The stories are a little slow for adults but they are still good. There are lots of children in my family, boys and girls, and it is hard to get them all to agree on what to watch, but they always agree with each other when they want to watch the Mystic Knights. It is a wonderful show and I hope that they will continue to keep making it. All of the kids in my family and myself think that Vincent Walsh is the best of them all. We have seen that he has done lots of other work and think that he is doing a great job. We wish all of the actors, actresses, writers, directors, and producers the best of luck and would just like to say keep up the good work.
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!!!!
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.

While expecting the standard-fare Saban half-hour of cheesy
merchandising, I was pleasantly surprised by the Mystic Knights
of Tir na Nog--Power Rangers this most certainly is /not/. The
costuming is fantastically appropriate, the storylines are based
on true Celtic legends, and the actors are a refreshing change
from the normal appearance-high/talent-poor casts Saban normally
comes up with. While the foley art leaves a little to be
desired, the choreography for the swordfighting is excellent and
a very welcome sight, considering the tendency for kids' action
shows to be merely punch-kick-jab cookie-cutter fare. My
personal kudo? Justin Pierre is not merely the used to make the
cast politically correct--Ivar has a historically accurate place
in the Kell company as a Moorish prince. This is a marvellously
well done show, and I highly recommended it to Celtic fans

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.
