Series 8 - Episode 1
-
A Good episode. Liking all the new little details already. like the new look start chamber where they all stand up now, and the gate which is opened for the dungioneer to enter.
Lord Fears new chamber looks amazing, Also I like the thing with thge Fireball, it actually alerts the team better to place the spyglass down at the right time.
So Team 1 - How dumb were they, HELLO. Green for a Girl,Black For a Boy and the objects available were a GREEN knife, and BLACK pigeon dropping, Surely it was so obvious what to take. Also Richard even says Shall we take the Knife then, but the team say No, and even Treguard stepped in giving a hint by saying What did the Scroll say.
My first thought as an advisor would be to Take the Knife immediatly, because its so obvious, I cant believe they didnt really give it a second chance.
Nice Death Sequence with the Dragon, Shall I have it Cooked or Raw
Suprised the little end bit at the end of the episode was'nt cut a litte where Majida says Do we really have to wait 7 days for more adventure etc. I'm thinking it may confuse a few viewers watching but hopefully it wont.
Roll on tomorrow for Episode 2

The graphics do look fabulous, wouldn't be out of place today actually. Bit melodramatic Treguard though, "Game....ON!" with swooshing hands and slightly odd sound effects.
Shame I wish I hadn't looked at everything that happened in s8 on Km.com because I didn't think I'd see it until 2007...
The Eye shield does look weeny, admittedly, and Lord Fear doesn't look as good. Standing up just reveals his....portly figure.

A brilliant start to Series 8. Am loving the return to Series 3 in that Teams can now die in Level 1 instead of being let off. They must've decided that they weren't going to be as forgiving in this series. The graphics are absolutely brilliant and like in previous posts I really like how the dungeoneer must step through the gate to begin the game.
The 2nd team seem quite interesting so i cant wait to see how far they get tommoro!

Nice new environment for Lord Fear. I think it Knightmare had had its 9th series, it would have been interesting.
Anyway, Seen some knice rooms so far, allthough the fabulous level 3 hasn't appeared just yet. The Antechamber looked great! I'd forgotten about it being that way, and more classic majida and Treguard at the end over the fire!

Wow.... great episode.
Shame about team 1, but then again.. duh!!!!
The Knew red dragon Bhal-Shebah claimed its first victim.... i think the reach wand is involved in that puzzle.
4 rooms in level one? i was quite shocked.
Team 2 seem a bit disasterous... kneeling down to use a spyglass? . lets see how it goes....

no, the eyeshield is slightly cumbersome. i dont have the best balance in the world and when i had it (temporarily, wasnt on a team, long story), i would probably have had to get on one knee to be able to hold an item and balance properly when holding the spyglass infront of the eyeshield.

I first saw this episode at the end of my first week of secondary school, almost ten years ago.
Looking at series 7 and 8, the direction the show was heading seems quite obvious to me now. Series 8's graphics are entirely computer-generated - the (at the time of writing) only series to boast this. The antechamber has been revamped for the first time since before series 4. The famous Dungeon Door is gone. All series of Km were unique but series 8 stands out a lot more than others. Series 9 appears to me to be the logical conclusion of the progression made in series 7 and 8. We first saw computer-animated faces in the Brollochan, after all. The ten-year break and accompanying technological advancements have allowed series 9, the next logical step in the evolution of the show, the chance to happen.

Actually, isn't the ante-chamber just one of the larger medieval rooms from The Crystal Maze? Looks cosy...

I know this makes 4 posts on one episode for me (although one of them doesn't really count), but weren't team 2 excited when they rushed in? Treguard must've thought they were going to give him a hug.
"This isn't Fun house, boys!"

Nice to see Tiny in the intro
