The Outdoor Scenes

series 8 > complete return to dungeon scenes
Not quite. Level 3 did feature some outdoor scenes such as the galleon and the entrance to Marblehead
I also thought Series 8 had a ring of finality to it. Especialy during the closeing credits of the last show when they showed all the previose champions in
THE KNIGHTMARE HALL OF FAME & HONNOR.
Again, not quite. The closing credits featured all of Series 8 Team 6 and a couple of the members from Series 7 Team 6, but no others. I think it was something to do that they were still inviting applications for Series 9 after the final episode of Series 8 was broadcast, but alas Series 9 never materialised.

you guy must have really hated them eps.. so really i guess you never liked Knightmare all that much huh??
I loved the early seasons ofKnightmare, and the later ones had redeeming features that drew attention away from the outdoorsiness of it (chiefly Lord Fear's dialogue), but it's true that I didn't like the later years nearly as much as the early ones.
I have to say, however, that it's an enormous leap on your part to say that I and others like me didn't like the series much as a whole on the basis of really just two or three seasons out of eight.

The outdoor scenes lost a lot of credibility for me, when I started spotting the English Heritage logo around. To (mis)quote Brother Mace standing in front of the Descendor in Series 5: 'Now, do you know what an anachronism is?'

I liked S3 with the few outdoor outdoor bits and thhe great goblin caves, exciting chases galore!
I agree, season three was really enthralling, although I think season two is my all-time favourite. (Show that season, Challenge! Forget season six, show some more early episodes.)
I'm not saying that S3 was outdoors by the way, I'm just pointing out that, if we say S8 was outdoors then by the same logic, S3 should be seen the same way. In fact, you could even argue that every season was slightly outdoors - at the end of every quest in in S1 & 2, the departing teams signed off from an outdoor location.

Series 8 definately has a 'this is the end' feel to it. For a start it didn't have the same kind of feel to it as the previous series had sort of cliff hangers like in series 6 with the red dragon and treguard says 'there are quiet moments prepared to stoop down... and pick up the gauntlet! and it will be thrown down again, you can count on that'. And of course the troll in series 7, these all had a sort of see you next time feel at the end of the season, however with series 8 it was just Treguard asking Lord Fear if he was ready to surrender. It kind of brought a final close to the show.

Even though I have enjoyed watching series 5 on challenge, I think when you compare them its definately the worst...

The teams were very slow, they would spend ages in one place and the whole thing, the speed they walked.

The smirkenorf flights were too long, the advisors didn't know what to say during this sequence and in my opinion when there is a slience its just completely borring. ::)

Not enough mixture of rooms; also more eye shield sequences than anything else. All outdoor scenery, no dungeons whatsoever: where has the knightmare dungeon theme gone??? You almost begin to wonder where the whole point of the show has dissapeared to.
There were little things about 1991 knightmare that were good-ish, but none of them were things we werent getting in series 6.
I strongly hope challenge get series 6 as its my 2nd favourite (besides series 3) and series 8 was kinda cool too - if you could have taken series 3 and had it completely the same but use the scenes from series 8, thats your perfect series of km ;D
