K9 - How?!?! Why?!?!

God I really am close to the end now huh

When I finish I want to do a worldbuilding pitch of some kind for an alternate/future take on the world that K9 sets up

If I had more time I would be so tempted to do a K9 rewrite but make it actually good. Thereā€™s so much potential in there :sob:

I probably wouldnā€™t do a rewrite, the main cast are fun for this show, but I think to fully explore the world Iā€™d go a bit darker with it, and I wouldnā€™t want kids leading that

Itā€™s mostly just kind of frustrating. As @JayPea and I were just saying, thereā€™s such a good concept and world in there somewhere, but often itā€™s potential that isnā€™t fully or even at all realised

Yeah itā€™s not a bad show if you think of it as just a mediocre kidā€™s show and switch your brain off, but when you think about the worldbuilding for more than a minute it becomes really interesting and kind of dark in some placesā€¦

ā€¦Except the writers didnā€™t think about the worldbuilding for more than a minute

Okay, this meme is getting out of hand! Itā€™s been used multiple times already, but not once by me!

Welcome to the Dark Side: bad acting, Australians pretending to be British, inconsistent writing, one-dimensional characters, low production values. Itā€™s horrible and frustrating, but oddly satisfying in the end, and youā€™ll either turn mad or feel withdrawal symptoms after you finish the 26 episodes.

Both, surely? Iā€™m still having both :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Sure, you can have both if youā€™re so inclined :wink:

Hound of the Korven - 5/10

Oh, I see things are all starting to come together.

K9ā€™s missing memories, the Jixen, Thorne putting Korven tech into machines, Dariusā€™ dad, the head of The Department. Honestly all the moving parts of the story are just coming together quite nicely here.

The acting however continues to disappoint, we donā€™t get enough of June and Gryffen, and Thorneā€™s acting here isnā€™t the greatest, thereā€™s a line where heā€™s meant to repeat a line with different emphasis, but seemingly just forgets to change the emphasis.

I do like Jixey though, the Jixen are one of the best costumes the showā€™s got, and it was a real shame they hadnā€™t really come back until here, but hey, now they have, and theyā€™ve got a big link to K9ā€™s backstory that they can explain now theyā€™re able to talk.

The episode does end very abruptly though which is really weird, I was hoping for a talk with the Jixen and the gang, but nope, just cuts to a shot of Thorne, and then credits

Eclipse of the Korven - 5/10

A suitable end to the show.

I think Eclipse of the Korven is the most K9 episode of all the K9 episodes if that makes sense. Everything that makes K9 what it is is on display here in full effect.

K9 getting instantly demolished as soon as he gets into a fight, then being able to do something just in the nick of time to save the day. Half the cast not really getting anything to do for a lot of the story. The pointless romance story. A bunch of CCPCs being goofy. The Korven being set up as an incredible threat and then being taken down in seconds.

The great heartfelt moments that get a little undercut. The slightly janky but also still really good looking CGI. The genuinely great acting for Gryffen. The delightful villany of Thorne.

Eclipse of the Korven is K9 bearing itā€™s scars for all the world to see, for good, for ill, and itā€™s genuinely just a delight to watch.

But itā€™s still a bit shit, 5/10
