We continue our deep dive into Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, the action fantasy series set in pretend Ireland by Saban Entertainment best known for producing Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, with Aideen’s Choice in which Aideen the fairy desperately wants to become human for reasons that we are assured have nothing to do with her deep desire to romance Rohan. How does this turn out? Listen along to find out.
S3E16 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog: Night of the Spirits
Our deep dive into Saban Entertainment’s Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog continues with an episode about a pagan festival that manages to avoid any kind of actual religious content and is remarkably light on content full stop. It’s mostly just the Mystic Knights pratting about in the vicinity of a harvest festival and sometimes that’s fine. Is this one of those times? Listen in to find out.
S3E15 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog: Queen Deidre
The deep dive into Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog continues with episode 16 in which Deidre suddenly finds herself thrust into a position of power when King Conchobar is taken ill. Is there more to his malady than merely handling an accidentally tainted conch shell? Yes. Yes there is.
S3E14 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog - Battle of the Druids
Our deep dive into Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog continues with Battle of the Druids which features one of my very favourite things in all of entertainment, a guest turn from a classically trained British ham who absolutely understands the assignment. When Cathbad the druid’s old mentor Sithcheen rocks up unannounced everyone thinks he’s absolutely the bees knees but is there more going on than meets the eye? Aideen the fairy certainly thinks so.
S3E11 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog - Tyrune the Three Headed Dragon
We continue our deep dive into the Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog, the Ireland adjacent fantasy series from Saban Entertainment, creators of the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. This is episode 12 in which several extremely complicated and unnecessary plans are hatched and Rohan behaves even more like a spoiled toddler than usual.
S7E9 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog: War of the Little People
The deep dive into Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog continues with episode 10, The War of the Little People. This episode is primed to please me because it shifts the focus onto Mider the dark elf, my absolute favourite character in the entire show. Have the script writers constructed a plot worthy of Ned Dennehy’s acting talents? Listen along to find out.
S3E2 - Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog: Tir Na Nog
We’re back with episode 2 of the Saban Entertainment fantasy action series set in a TV executive’s idea of what ancient Ireland looks like. Having assembled the main cast they are now sent to the actual land of Tir Na Nog to do magical trails at the behest of a tiny king with a terrible beard. Can they manage to persuade him to help them before the castle of Kells is overrun by the forces of Temra? Listen along to find out.
Also I have a new game out at patreon.com/hjdoom. It’s called Mr Blobby and the Propaganda of the Deed and it’s a deeply libellous text adventure about light entertainment’s most deviant son. Yours for only a quid or local equivalent.
