Series 6
-
I thought the new title sequence was rather spiffy. And I thought the ending of the new music was the best part. LOL, sorry to disagree with you, Kieran. I liked the fadeout of the scream/sigh/whatever thing at the end. Merged with Treguard's opening sentences I thought it was great at setting up the appropriate atmosphere, whereas the previous ending I thought was, well, a bit abrupt.
-
What I liked about Series 6:
-
The new titles. Woo, lovely.
-
The Dreadnaught. However it's spelt, it was pretty scary.
-
Smirky's voice. A really nice touch.
-
Greystagg. A genuinely interesting character, and I think it's good to have someone whose motives we're unclear about. Deciding whether to trust her or not adds an interesting dimension to things.
-
Sidriss. I suppose she's someone the watching kidsies can identify with a bit. I thought she was much better than the assorted maids and such who might be comparable. And the idea of Hordriss having such a silly daughter is good: a nice counterpoint to his pride and ambition. And Series 6 doesn't turn them both into objects of ridicule, unlike some.
-
Team 2's death with the Dreadnaught is great. I love the scene before with Heggatty, too. "Firestones no good to Heggatty" indeed.

Yes, I have whinging points too:
-
Some of the characters that are kept from the last season. No names, although a certain elf brat springs to mind.
-
I really miss the teams who die early on in their quests.
-
The Blockers are getting boring. I miss Granitas too.
-
The new life force skeleton. It's okay, but it doesn't really compare to using the face all the time.
-
Ridolfo. Oh dear.
Not a whinge, but I felt slightly sorry for Team 4. I thought using the weapons of the Opposition had always been a no-no. Like not casting Mogga's spells and such. I think I'd have been tempted to sell the darn ring, too, having exhausted the alternatives.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...WOK!
I left Ah Wok out of my dislike list, since I know a lot of people really like him. But I still didn't think much of him. None of the traders really captured my imagination, apart from Rothberry, who was just fantastic.
-
My favourite reason for Season 6 is it was, if I remember rightly, the season when they introduced THAT incidental music. The one used for Causeways, Trial by Spikes, etc. A really simple piece of music with just a couple of notes, but it changed those moments from merely tense to gut-wrenchingly "Omigodhe'sgonnagetkilled!!!"

Series 6? I'm getting that one on video! ;D
Here's my likes and dislikes based on the clips on the site and vague memories of it (although it won't be vague memories for much longer!).
Likes:
Smirky having a voice and again those lovely views when he was flying.
The all-new dwarf tunnels - I much prefer them to the ones used in Series 3 (sorry, fans of old dwarf tunnels!).
The 'swirly' (that's the only way I can describe it)incidental music used when one of the dungeoneers (can't remember which one though) is talking to Captain Nemanor.
Rocks Of Bruin - I thought they sounded and looked quite mysterious.
Captain Nemanor's ship and the creaking it made!
Sidriss - Ditzy or what? In a good way of course, hehe!
The appearance of the huge green Pookas.
Dislikes:
The noise the Pookas made - kinda disturbing!
Storm Geists - their faces scare me!
Can't think of any more dislikes just now, really - but I'll let you know of any more once I've got my video

Yes! That was really good. I liked it when the below decks parts of the ship were used too, although I can't recollect exactly when it was. The Eye Shield part there looked really gothic. Very atmospheric, along with the creaking.
