I'm probably the only person that remembers The Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nóg, but I thought it was weird the Water Knight was the only black man in what looked like Medieval Ireland even back as a kid.
"Air above me!"
"Water around me!"
"Earth beneath me!"
"Fire within me!"
It was catchy.
Its alright, I'm one of the few people who remembers Big Bad Beetleborgs, let alone actual plot points.
Such as them recasting one of the girl actresses, so they created an entire episode about her getting like body morphed. So Ghost Jay Leno casts a spell that makes her look exactly the same to everyone except those who witnessed the ritual, aka the viewers that they proceed to wink at.
It was a lawless time.
Don't forget VR Troopers! BBB at least changed things slightly since it was all kids who were "aged up" whenever they changed, although Power Rangers did that in Turbo with the kid eventually.
Somehow despite knowing BBB and Power Rangers extensively, I never saw or heard of VR Troopers until adulthood when Jontron brought it up.
Lawl big bad beetleborgs and VR Troopers.
Where had I heard that...
Oh, yeah. It was the Rubberbandits song Horse Outside.
"Giddy up now baby, bless my soul
I rode the fucker round a field back since he was a foal
He runs a bit like Shergar, and he jumps like Tír na nÓg
He looks like Billie Piper after half an ounce of coke
And the boys are lookin' jealous, as I lead yer one away
And just before I close the door I look at her and say
Would you be my girl, and she says I will of course
If ya grab me by the ponytail and ride me like a horse Ya!"
Yet, as far as jumping horses Tir Na Nog looked pretty average.
