Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog

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

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.

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.

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.
