Series 6 Episode 10
-
We won't see tomorrow, Knightmare does not show on Sunday
I don't really like how they got into Level 3, and now suddenly they found a ship, go into a Treasure chest ( :-), find some object and even get a causeway clue scroll with no real difficulty and suddenly they are in the 'last' Level 3 dungeon! But I couldn't make heads nor tails of the Trick or Treat clue .
-
Hmm, the main thing that struck me with today's episode is that Ben didn't get round to reading the rest of the scroll in Aradine's lair, he read out the first two numbers before the spider approached him. I suspect it's a causeway code, which might mean they come a cropper when they get to it and not know the next three numbers, which is a shame, as I've really been rooting for this team. Still, we found out Pooka's actually have names, and the end of today's episode was a great cliffhanger, with the team choosing between TRICK or TREAT. Wonder which one they'll choose?
-
i was thinking that they would have gotten the other number as they went along, but as they are so close i think the 1st twonumbers will be clues and they will have to work out the rest.
What an odd episode.. the live action was good but the quest itself sucked.. the stuff on the boat was fast and pointless. there was also nothing to say they had entered level 3, I always liked the Into the team was giving when got into level 3 (season 3) just doesn't feel as if level mean anything anymore. they are all easy, but level 3 just has the last moments.
Now, what happened to Tiny? why didn't he make an appearance.. would have made that goblin scene VERY good. Um life force damage was taking when the team was hit by the witch, yet the clock didn't seem to loose anything it was a while before they found food after that, AND the spider killed them off, the team was let off.. IF the win they would be known as the WORSE team in Kmare history.
-
the spider killed them off, the team was let off. IF they win they would be known as the WORSE team in Kmare history.
I couldn't agree with you less on that point, Meph. At least in terms of co-ordination and manoeuvring, this was possibly the best team ever. And it didn't look to me like Ariadne caught them, why do you say that?
-
I liked the falling out of Lord Fear and Skarkill, that was cool But yeah, I thought Ariadne caught them too - but maybe they were let off because they were good, and TPTB need someone to actually win
First appearance of Greystagg, if I'm not mistaken - she was good, I liked they way she said thank you back to Ben when he said it to her, hehe
This team has turnded out to be much better than I expected! I think I judged them too harshly, but nearly falling off the introductory choice causeway did not bode well Still, I hope they win!
-
The spider was right on top of them even for the moved from the table, it when caught them up again at which point the camera was on the advisers, and they were indeed getting in a mix, they had been let off, and allowed to win, Probs because the show was coming to an end and they needed winners, after all not many people make it in to level 3 and with the show almost coming to an end it was unlikely it would happen again
But the team had a VERY bad start, and what makes them one of the worse is how much they had been let off. (The hit from the which didn't effect the life force)
only one causeway with a timer, and so on. lets just Waite and see what happens. plus the whole thing on the boat was terrible. As i said all the live action was great, appart from the lack of Tiny
-
Well, firstly I should point out that there's still something like 5 episodes left in the season. In other words we're only two-thirds of the way through so we're not THAT close to the end.
So what if Ariadne was on top of them? She still has to CATCH them, and she didn't. Perhaps you're comparing it to what happened to one team from season 4? On that occasion I thought it was unfair because the film of the spider had clearly been sped up.
The hit from the what which didn't affect the life force? Do you mean the sturmgeist? The LF clock wasn't on the screen at that point, so how do you know it didn't affect their life force?
As for the thing on the boat, I agree it was terrible, but that's not the team's fault is it?
-
no the boat was just silly, nothing team related.
So how would you judge a kill from the spider then?
I'm talking about the hit from the witch, Pickle said the team took damage, but we don't see the life force for another 2/3 rooms after that hit.., i think it comes up in the dwarf tunnel in level 3 when they pick up food.. well you can see by the clock the hit didn't have much effect, there was no chance the clock would have been as full as it was. after all it was a while after the hit before they found food.
but then i don't know how powerful the effect of the hit was, i can only go on what we have seen in the past.
-
There's nothing unusual in that. In earlier seasons several teams were struck by the scorpion's tail and it did very little life force damage.
In the instance you're speaking of here, there were several items of food on the floor. As far as I could tell, the dungeoneer had just put food in his knapsack when he was struck, but then took another food item to restore his health again. We don't see this clearly because the view had switched to his advisors while he was collecting the second food item, but it's missing from the floor when the view switches back a moment later.
-
i didn't notice he picked up a 2nd peace of food in that room.. how odd.
it's a pitty the hauntings don't do an damage in this season unlike the others,
i guess this whole spider situation is just like the one from season 4.. (did he get hit by that blade) there are a number of let offs from it looks like, with the causeways and stuff... i hate seeing a team let off as much as i do a cheated death.
-
On the programme they never really could decide on whether it was enough to run away from Ariadne or whether the team would need to use magic - I suppose you could use the argument that a spider would attack faster if it was hungrier, in which case magic or else a mad dash seem to be the ticket.
With the blades, as long as a dungeoneer wasn't cut properly in half I think they felt it wasn't fair to kill them - although I certainly hope it drained their life force quite a bit. That only seems realistic.

Series 6.
Team 5 actually died on a room with the spider.
Assuming that the following and last team of the series (team 6) who were one of the youngest teams EVER would not win, the producers allowed Ben et al to refilm that room and continue to the end and team 6 were therefore not allowed to win directly afterwards.
Team 6 were robbed.
and not only robbed but prematurely killed by the programme makers.THE END.
-
I agree, it's an interesting theory, but I do have one small comment.
POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN SERIES 7
You say that Team 6 wouldn't have been allowed to win "directly afterwards", yet in Series 7, we saw/will see two winning teams in succession (Team 6 and Team 7), so I doubt if the concern of having two straight winning teams had anything to do with any "conspiracy" since they "let" that exact thing happen in the very next series.
Fear

I think the episode was quite edited to be honest. There were times they entered rooms and got straight into the action without any introduction, it seems when Nemanor sends them to the mines, they go straight for the scroll without any describing - I know not all teams do that bit anymore, but later when Ben walks along, he asks "where am i now" as if it's his regular room entering thing to say. (Even though he's still in the same area at this point!)
I know everyone loved the LF-Skarkill stuff, but I think less is more and I would've preferred a bit more plot with the boat and Ariadne, maybe even something from the Level 3 clueroom such as an object they needed to beat Ariadne - they took the mace and they never need it. There was a rope and a gauntlet on the table - can't really see how these would have been needed. Although I did keep thinking they maybe should have taken the rope, as at the end of the dwarf tunnels there's another rope on the floor before they board the ship!
