Worst series?
-
Series 5 for me was the weaker of the series, just thought that the quests were all quite similar. In other series as the season has come to a close there has been more variation (different chambers, different things happening) just didn't think there was as much in this one.
I must agree with you on this Pooka, watching it recently then there are too many eye shield wilderness sequences, similar causeways which should've been cut down a bit more in some cases. The winning team had a very simple final confrontation and LF barely made an appearance in their quest. spyglasses were good but a lot of outdoor bits were dull and several very poor teams also let the season down for me.

I'm going to have to make a judgement after I've seen series 6-8...only 3 series are still fresh in the mind.
I could say series 1, as things evolved from thereon, but the only info I have on it (besides only lasting 8 eps) is on the Knightmare website.

Hmm.... I liked them all really, but in the first series with the broken key room I got REALLY bored, same goes for any other slow foot-work room...ZZZ

Series 4 was my worst series. I did like the last level because it had some of the hardest obstacles ever seen on Knightmare like the Block N Tackle. I think Level 1 is what lets this series down because the first section is just very very slow and repetitive.
Series 5 has to be my other worst series. It only beats Series 4 because it had more variety but it had a very poor lineup of obstacles and puzzles and teams were let off when it came to the questions, etc.
My Favourite series are 6, 7 & 8 because i think the characters are much more interesting as well as the creepy music in rooms and Dwarf Tunnels. Series 7 & 8, also had much better puzzles like Play Your Cards Right, etc.

have to agree with 4 and 5, but that doesn't mean they were bad... in fact 4 and 5 are very good. but not as good. it was the over use if the eye shield and the boring level one in both, Season 4 also was very repetitive.
But they both had some very good moments, they might be more difficult that season 6 was, which made things a bit more exciting... or that season 4 and 5 had worse team players ? Anyway season 5 great causeway was better then 6,
I would 4, slow and repetitive.
However season 3 the best? i think not, not much happens.. i would rate 2 better then 3.

Series 3 was good but series four must hold a record for most people reaching level three. Also in one episode there was a Spyglass in one of the question rooms but was not lifted up.
Five was good but slow as you say. Six was ok but not keen on Sidress.

For a fansite it is certainly odd to find people discussing what is BAD about Knightmare, does not make a great deal of sense to me....
Anyhow, I thought each and every season had it's own magic...With S3 just nipping ahead of the others, as seems to be the general concencus around here.

It is a good thing that we can say there were bad things about our favourite TV show. It shows we are not narrowminded little fanboys/girls/goblins/dragons/Americans.

Careful, there's an American here now! (Oh, it ain't me, y'all hear?)
Series 5 looks the worst (sadly, possibly the one with the most Amiga-graphics-influenced too), with the grimy looking backgrounds (series 6 uses the same to much better effect), and has some very poor teams.
Series 4 is possibly juuuuust the worst overall because the eye-shield sequences were slow and repetitive. At least in 5 they used different ones and it was a bit redder. The whole thing was so linear and rarely more than 2 rooms in a quest were that challenging...
Mind you, both had Brother Mace...but since 5 had Sir Hugh De Witless and Julius Scaramonger and a certain Lord fear and Skarkill, 4 is therefore the worst.
Or I could be diplomatic and say series 1 was the worst because it only had 8 episodes, but then I haven't seen it...

Oh dear God sda. Hstorm will be here any second now....expect a damn good smiteing for saying that.
I'd offer you a spell for your protection but frankly, fancying Majida myself, you don't deserve one after that.
