Best Series
-
They were all goo, they all had their pros and cons, but for me Knightmare has to be in the gloom of the dungeon and 1-3 and 8 did that very well. I won't be able to watch 1 and 2 until next Friday 9when i get back home from Uni) so I can't rightly say for them, but 3 had all the ingrediants of a successful series apart from the fact that it as too tough. 8 had some good atmos, but I prefer Treguard's neutrality and I found Majida annoying.

I'm a big fan of the season 4-8 era.(Particuarly S7&8) Unlike most people it seems, i think KM got better as it went on. There are several reasons (mainly technological) for this.
Yes I admit earlier seasons were more difficult and the fact that a majority of teams would get to level 3 in latter seasons did ruin KM's sense of impossibilty, but the technology was so poor in earlier seasons. Watching the graphics of S1-3 next to the graphics of seasons 7 and 8 is laughable.
Also the huge improvement on puzzles/ timing excercises in the latter seasons (especially S7&8) made them much more tense and exciting.
1)The corridoor of blades is the all time classic closely followed by
2)Play your cards right (i loved seeing Dungeoneers falling of that)
3)the spike puzzle and
4)the causeways (these did get slightly tedious after a while)
I loved the Dwarf tunnels in S6 & 7.
I loved the Smirkenorff rides (S5-7)
I loved the level 3 of S7 (Level 2 in S8)
I epecially loved the level 3 of S8.
Furthermore i think that the fact that both S7 &8 had dramatic finales (with winning teams in the last episode) was good. In other seasons there was a slight feeling of anti-climax because nothing particuarly exciting really happened in the last episode. However i'm not quite sure which one i preferred out of S7 or 8.

everyone has their own seris you cant just have a go at someone jut cos they like one over another, though seris 1-3 was very good and how it intended with the medivevil feel and the lack of people gave it the atmosphere that the dungeon was the enemy not a particular baddy. brilliant showing some great cliff hangers in seris 3 (excuse the pun team 6 an 11).
-
I have said for a looong time now, my avourite season overall is S3, yet all other seasons are generally on equal levels as thy all have something unique about them.
There is no harm in saying S4 is your favourite, or if S8 is your favourite, it down to perception and taste, and no differing opinion is necessarily wrong, yet claiming someone elses opinion as being 'wrong' certainly is.
-
I think that series 3 has a lot of strong features, which seem to be lost until series 8. In series 3 the computer generated effects were quite good as it was all set in the dungeon (OK the corridors needed working on in terms of effects). After series 3 something was lost when it was taken out of the dungeon and into the forest.

each time this is discussed i still say series 6, wiht the differnt death sequences and the drednaught and some very goood teams! very entertaining!!!
-
I have to say that I think my favourite series was 7. I guess this is because there were a coupl eof great quests (the winning ones!) and also series 7 and 8 are mainly the ones I remember watching.
-
My personal favourite Questing sessions would be the 5th and 6th. Granted the experiments with the technology lost some of the 'feel' of the earlier seasons but it was the first time that the 'Dungeon' had properly grown into a believeable space with locations and characters that you can follow rather than a series of seemingly random rooms and puzzles.
getting ready to duck and run AT THE TIME, I actually quite liked the Eye-shield wanderings because they helped to enhance the continuity from one room to the next.
On the other hand, the worst IMHO would be series Four and Eight. I simply don't like the 'pseudo-quakeness' of the CG dungeon (WAY to clean and geometric) in series 8.
Not forgetting to mention the fact that the S4 quests were nearly all cookie-cutter identical! The puzzles only changed slightly and the actual progression of the quest early-on practically didn't change at all!
-
I say series 2. Simply because it's so much harder and more dangerous than later series's.

Favourite:
-
Series 6
-
Series 3
-
Series 2
-
Series 4
-
Series 1
-
Series 7
-
Series 8
8 ) Series 5
Easiest: Most definitely series 8 I think, which makes Team 1 look all the more embarassing.
Hardest: Series 3
I think the show reached it's peak at Level 3 from what it started as. However it went through two transition series's and eventually brought us the brilliant Series 6. I think Knightmare went downhill from there. It was still good but it was in decline and the ideas were running thin.

Series 5
Having said that, it's all Knightmare, and each and every one of those 8 series make up the reason why this community even exists. I wouldn't turn down the opportunity to watch any series of KM.
However, when I watched them originally on CITV, I was disappointed with S4 and 5 in many ways.

I think Series 6 was excellent, very haunting and had a genuinely dangerous feeling in it which was lacking in S4 and 5.
I didn't like 4 or 5 - although 5 was my first series and got me hooked, and it had lots of good characters in it, I suppose. 4 was just so repetitive - seen one quest: seen 'em all.
I liked 7, not sure why - I just did - probably because of Julie and Barry - and I really liked 8. I think the only problem with 8 was the fact that it was too short and a lot of quests needed to be sped up or killed off quickly in order to fit them all in. But I liked it. The CGI-type changes were a little skewed, but with the advance of the technology at the time, who can blame them for trying things out?
Which leaves me with the first three. Now, Series 3 is really good, but I've seen it all so many times it's getting boring - I prefer watching series I haven't seen for a long time so I'm not quite sure what's coming up next! Series 2 is perhaps the most underrated series, because it's as good as 3 (IMO) and not given the recognition it deserves.
And Series 1 - slightly repetitive (although not as much so as 4), so somewhat boring in some respects. Although you have to like Series 1 - after all - it started everything!

My opinion on best series I always find hard, but here is how i would rate my top three
- Series 3
Most would seem to agree, it has everything a knightmare fan could dream of (except of course the corridor of blades). All the characters in this series provide convincing oscar winning performances. The fact no one won gives this series the undefeated element which is quite unique. There were some very memorable moments, and some brilliant nail biting quests. I think Leo's quest is possibly my favourite of all time. Almost a shame only three teams reached level three as it was thrilling to watch when they did.
- Series 7
Probably a very controversial choice- but series 7 was exciting and, and although level one was far easier than it should have been, i still love this series for things such as the rift of angar, play your cards right and bulstrow the troll. I remember series 7 well from when I first watched it (so i'm a bit biased), and I don't think I've ever been so glued to a tv programme before! Riveting stuff.
- Series 2
Fast paced, action packed, sometimes averaged a death an episode. What more can you want?
-
Ah, it's the series that introduced me to Knightmare for me, series 2, closely followed by 3, then 6, 4,5,7,1,8. Series 2 and 3 taken together are kind of a golden age, but I see why it had to expand. I'd actually forgotten how much I loved series 2 till I got hold of the videos again in 1999. And now it's all constantly on Challenge. Hurrah!!!
