Series 2 - Episode 6
-
well you could say Mogdred finished them off...
he had just let a team win with out trying to stop them, and couldn't finish off the other team, so he just taking credit but not doing the dirty work!
lol
thats the 2nd lock in we have had,
the one that came close was season one when the team didn't have the candle.
-
Good to here an advisor mention the "right-hand door" when deciding where to go.
Liked the Combat Chess - could the team have taken the bishop?
Is this the first time that 2 characters have appeared together without fighting?
Liked the oracle but the should have taken the glove and scroll, without reading it.
"The bridge is on fire!" - or is it the crown?
-
Combat chess is very tense stuff, but if you think about it it's more or less inevitable that the dungeoneer will succeed. It's impossible for a player to make checkmate with only a king and a bishop, so how can a player with only a bishop capture a piece that has the knight's move?
-
If you happen to touch the bishop, you die straight away - Life Force Death. I suppose the bishop could either land on a square that the dungeoneer was already on, or the dungeoneer could mess up and walk into the bishop while making their move.
Has any team died while playing Combat Chess?
-
I was 8 or 9 when this first aired and even though I knew John Woodnutt was Merlin as well as Mogdred, he terrified me to death! The playpen speech still scared me today!
-
I'm doing some lists for how people died in some of my favorite show's so I thought I'd better put Kightmare in there too.
But I just need something cleared up about Tony's death.
Did Mogdred actualy kill him? or did Tony's life force (That was very low) simply run out infront of him?
(It's the bit were Mogdred says "Play forvever" BTW)
-
If I remember correctly Mogdred didn't tend to mock that much, just threw the odd spanner in the works. Fear, on the other hand, delighted in mocking and gloating.
Since I don't pick up Challenge I'm going from a slightly hazy memory here.
-
It's technically an automatic lock-in, though instead of just them entering an empty room and Treguard saying "Oh dear, you've entered the wrong room" Mogdred appears and finishes them off. I'd call it a Mogdred death.
Automatic lock-in?
That should have been a perfect shot for Richard O'Brien, not Mogdred...
(PEDANTIC: Yes, I do realise this was series 2, and the Crystal Maze didn't start until after series 3. But you can see what I mean.)
