Treguard Poll
-
Hiya all!
I think the most monumental speech for me (although I'm agreeing that all of S6 and S3 were brilliant) - I think, also contributing to the very fact that my fav. season ending is the red dragon pursuit in S6, is that very send off to the conclusion of that series. Mark Knight's explosion, the alliteration pinging out with every spat syllable, and then the sound effects and music with 'as for your Dun-geon-eers... GOBLIN FODDER!!!' was chilling and quite fantastically done.
Then, I think it's partly helped by Treguard's apparent calmness behind it - his 'ooh, really!?!' (sorry, I struggle to explain the surprise levity behind his reaction) kind of stance. "Hmm... he means it, you know!" .. he goes on, as that sinister double beat starts to take heavy precendence in the background, with that single note holding the tension - "...whenever the braggart brays, wherever the bully ~ hurls his abuse, there are always a few.. quiet moments; prepared to simply stoop.. and pick up the gauntlet." The caesura type pauses were fantastic, and it was a message that stretched beyond Knightmare - it was about all opposition that you face in life, be it bullying, hardship ~ there's a way behind stopping it, defeating it... I just felt that when KM starting reaching out to me like that beyond the gaming realm, that that speech would remain in the memory.
Yes, the whole red dragon incident had be absolutely terrified - I've got a post or two dedicated to that, I'm sure, and Fear's angry reaction was superbly portrayed, but that look of invincibilty, untouchable almost, from Hugo Myatt, along with those words, are highly memorable. I don't know what others think - sometimes I know I look into things in considerable depth, especially where words and meanings are concerned - but that's just some rather pathetic (in both contexts) thoughts of mine. Hope you are all well! KaM

I know I know! You are talking about season 4 there, Roxxy my friend, which i felt was rather amusing in some ways, as it appears to be a direct hint to the viewers to keep watching. He may as well have said 'Keep those ratings up, watchers!'
That's it, hehe at least someone knows what I'm talking about!
-
Hmm - I think it's his voice that strikes me most about him, I love it ;D and generally I don't like facial hair but somehow it looks right on him - I think he looks pretty fine most of the time ;D
And I thought I was the only one who thought that! Heh, my friends all think I'm crazy when I mention him. But then, they never liked Knightmare. I could never understand why. ponders for a bit Oh, they always said it was "unrealistic". ;D
-
Yeah, my parents could never understand me watching it. I had to talk to some of the boys in my class if I wanted to discuss it, as my female friends hated it.
-
Yeah, girls were such spiolspots at my school too.
heh, so true! Although I wasn't! I had one female friend I could discuss it with, but she lived like 10 miles away, and I barely saw her.
-
Heh, most of the boys at my old school were like that too! Either that or teasing the girls! Heh, I got on well with them, being a tom-boy and all! ;D
-
I didn't have anyone to talk about Knightmare with either, at school. It's weird how in general it's mostly boys and men that like fantasy/sci-fi stuff, including Knightmare. Most of the teams were all-male, despite the fact that KM was aimed at all kids. It's evident on this site too, there's not as many females, although the ones that are here are cool (all you males are too ). I don't understand why more girls don't like fantasy/sci-fi stuff like Knightmare and other things. Does anyone have the answer to this? ??? Back on topic, I like Treguard's look from Series 3-6 best.

Whoops, forgot to post what was my fave! Err, the last four seasons. In answer to your question Velda, I think it's because of the media. I mean, most action films and toys are aimed at guys, whereas you'll see a little girl being given dolls and things. I hated that!
When I was a kid, I spent more time playing with toys meant for boys than my Barbie and My Little Ponies. -
Same here! ;D I was given a few dolls but I hardly played with them - I liked playing with toy cars instead! When I was 4 I was given a toy garage and would spend hours playing with it and my cars. The last ones I got were those cute lil' Micro Machines
I loved those! Heh, the only times I really played with dolls was when I made Barbie into a superhero..... and threw her out the window! heh, I was very disappointed when she didn't fly!

I actually had 2 Sindys (the old versions with the big head, not v. pretty), 2 Barbies (one whose head was a bit loose) and a Skipper. They were all given to me without asking for them - apart from 1 of the Barbies and the gym set it came with for Christmas in 1985. I still hardly played with it though. I had one My Little Pony (Cotton Candy, the pink one) but it was only used for display purposes ;D I still have it now, along with all my cars which are in a box in the cupboard. I think I'll look them out sometime and admire them - I'm not giving them away, lol!
-
I still have some, somewhere! I didn't/don't take very good care of my toys. Only my teddy bears!
-
I only played with one boy and we only played 'Sherlock Holmes Duck' ::) (dont ask). Most of my toys were animals (I had only one barbie) and 68 of them where stuffys that I made.... and the biggest of them was a white dolphin that was 2,5 mettres ::) I still make toys (its a hobby of mine) most of my toys have disappeared.....
-
Lol well this has takeing quite a spin lol
Was i the only guy who had a Barbie?
Anyway i remember being at school and had many friends who liked knightmare.. took me a while to get them hooked but u did (okay only 3 but thats many in my world) We tryed to get on but they told us it had been takeing off the air.. other wise u could be speaking to a winner!
-
Mephisto, you weren't the only guy who had a barbie ;D My bro got one for christmas once because he kept stealing mine - but then he got cross because it didn't have a pretty dress like mine did - these are things he'd prefer we all forgot, so naturally we bring it up at every available opportunity! ;D
Gotta admit, although I'm a sci-fi/fantasy freak, I also loved, and still do if I'm honest
my My Little Ponies - I have loads of them. It's true though, far fewer girls are into sci-fi/fantasy than boys - I think that's probably to do with a lot of things, pressure to conform etc - it's really easy to see the unbalanced nature of sci-fi/fantasy fandom when you go to a sci-fi memorabilia fair - about 75% of the people there are always male!And PhoenixFlame, I'm so glad someone else thinks Treguard has a charismatic air about him ;D

I used to like watching Hercules the first time it was on Channel 5, which I stopped watching I think when it was taken off. I for some reason didn't watch it when it was back on again. I don't know why but some of the things about it remind me of some of the things in Knightmare. I have a print off of episode by episode guide somewhere, with most characters in most eps included. One of the characters in one ep is called Lillith I noticed.
