The Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog: Difference between revisions

* Prince Garrett, a [[Sixth Ranger]] who came to Kells to carry out his betrothal to Deirdre, who instantly shot him down due to his initial severe superiority complex. After a period of fighting the team after being [[Brainwashed]] by Maeve, Cathbad realized he was destined to be the fifth Mystic Knight. Deirdre firmly refused to go through with the marriage, but she tolerated him as a teammate, even giving him a kiss good-bye when he left almost as quickly as he came to escort a stranded princess home.

** Element: Forest

The first (and only) season ended with a [[Story Arc]] where Maeve demanded something she had apparently been waiting for from a witch, Nemain: a powerful half demon warrior named Lugad, who the Mystic Knights could not defeat. The Warrior Of Temra Arc involved a power up for Rohan called Battle Fury, Garrett's return, the introduction of two not-so-[[Humongous Mecha]], and a completely unanticipated [[The Reveal|Reveal]] regarding Lugad, Maeve, and Rohan. Maeve was defeated once and for all and exiled, and it seemed that all would live [[Happily Ever After]]. The last minute of footage, however, featured Midar and Nemain teaming up, making unpleasant plans for Kells and Tir Na Nog. Too bad the show was canceled, and they would never get to carry them out...

* [[The Ace]]: Garrett; unfortunately, he knew this ("You confuse honesty with being boastful.") This attitude disappeared, of course, [[Good Is Dumb|when he joined the team]].

* [[Achilles in His Tent]]: The episode when Angus, jealous of Rohan getting all the attention, walked out, only to return when Tyrune, Maeve's three-headed dragon, kidnapped Rohan.

** [[Green Thumb]]: Garrett

* [[Ermine Cape Effect]]: The royal characters complained about spending all day taking ceremonial robes on and off.

* [[Evil Chancellor]]: Torc, pre-series

* [[Expy]]: Aideen is indistinguishable from Disney's Tinkerbell.

* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Deirdre, though there was much more to her than that.

* [[Five Episode Pilot]]

** [[The Hero]]: Rohan

** [[The Lancer]] / [[The Big Guy]]: Angus

** [[Sixth Ranger]]: Garrett {{spoiler|Lugad near the end of the series.}}

* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: Maeve

* [[Hostage for McGuffin]]: Deirdre

* [[Invocation]]: Garrett only carried around one ax. Fin Varra instructed him to bring his hands together a certain way to make the other materialize, but he never did it (except for the first time) without saying, "Twin-timber axes!"

* [[Let's Fight Like Gentlemen]]: Subverted

{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Maeve''': Yes, Rohan. ''I'' am your mother.}}<br />

This came shortly after {{spoiler|Rohan learned from Fin Varra that Lugad was his half-brother by the same mother.}} }}

* [[Transformation Sequence]]

* [[Weapon of Choice]]

* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: Neither the Irish names, accents, or landscape is integral to the plot, raising the question, how is this a world "where Irish myth lives"?

** Tir Na Og itself is a fairyland from Irish folklore. [[Sadly Mythtaken|The elements thing is technically Greek (earth, air, water, fire), with the concept of a fifth one starting with the Japanese (void)]] [[Oireland|, although "Forest" was probably chosen to sound "Irish."]]
