Plot
Set in 400 AD Ireland, Conor is the leader of a small group trying to ally the areas villages against the Romans.
Kinda like:

John Saint Ryan as Fergus
Vera Farmiga as Ca(i)tlin
Alonzo Greer as Tully
Sabastian Roche as Longinus
Lisa Zane as Diana
Characters
Yay...
Conor - A prince who's family & love were killed by the Romans.
Fergus - Conor's family champion & an experienced Warrior who likes ale & traded his hair for a pigsticker.
Ca(i)tlin - An ex-Roman slave very good with the long bow & holder of 2 titles: Most-Ambigous-Name & Best-Roarer-So-Far.
Tully - The baby of the group he still holds his own with the bullwhip & his smile. He also jumps around a lot, another aspect that helps him fit in perfectly at those ancient Marley concerts.
Boo...
Diana - Queen Diana to be exact. She's got a bit of a power trip going & doesn't much like our heroes, but she does like mud baths. Ca(i)tlin & her seem to have a special little war going: D enslaved C, C escaped, D caught C's little band, C punched D, D tried to blow C into bits... yada yada yada...
Longinus - Roman soldier who was cursed to immortality for putting the spear through Christ. Now a sorcerer, he was commited to killing himself. Blew up a village while in the center as an attempt. Mushroom cloud & all. Came out looking like Wile E. Coyote after a chase & with quite a roar. Now he's just commited to ruling the world & make everybody suffer.
And...
Bloody Bunny - One episode Omen of Death...oooOOOoooOOOoooOOOooo...
Bloopers
Most of these were contributed by others who I can't remember who told me which so I'll just give an overall thank you to them right here: Thank you.
Pilot- (Originally Aired 7/14/97)
The Blood Streaks - When Claire died & she touched Conor's face, the blood streaks she left had an amazing ability of changing lengths between shots.
Night & Day - When Galen takes Conor to the sanctuary for the first time, there is a daytime shot of the valley entrance to the sanctuary, with the two of them walking in. Next shot, conversation continues to flow but it is night-time.
The Tennis Shoes Theory One - When the extras are being let out of the cage in the Roman camp the sixth or so one to come out is wearing tennis shoes.
The Tennis Shoes Theory Two - Instead of Tennis shoes, they are in fact surgical shoes.
The Tennis Shoes Theory Three - Never mind, they're just white bindings.
The Helmets - When Gar is going to torch the village, there is a long scene of Gar & all the guards putting on their helmets. Two seconds later as they are riding, their heads are bare & their hair is flowing out behind them. Maybe they were decided to come in like Hell's Angels (minus the Harleys).
The Projector- (Originally Aired 7/21/97)
Ca(i)tin's Duplicity- In the scene where the Merchant is bathing & Tully is talking to him, as Tully says that Galen rescued him, you can see Ca(i)tlin's legs behind him. At this point in the scene she & Conor have just arrived at the waterfall pool & Conor is helping her jump from rock to rock. So basically she's in two places at once, wish I could do that.
The Bent Sword - When Conor is yelling Fall Back after the battle with the Romans, in one short scene, his sword is bent.
The Tread - When the merchant falls dead, you get a quick shot of the bottom of his shoes, showing tread.
Changing Partners - Near the end when our heroes escape & ride away from the castle, toward the village. Fergus & Tully are sharing a horse, & Conor, Ca(i)tlin, & Vorgeen each have their own horse. When they get to the village Vorgeen is riding with Conor (bets are he prefered it that way, too). They were in a bit too much of a rush to stop & change.
Atmos Ball - The first time they fire the projector the cannon ball was not at the back of the projector but when they put Catlin up for target practice they push the ball all the way back into the projector.
The Chosen- (Originally Aired 7/28/97)
Ca(i)tlin's Shoulder Armour - In the scene where Ca(i)tlin's argueing with Conor to take Glas & get to safety, in one scene her left (that is, her left, not the tv's left) shoulder armour thing is falling off, then it's strait, then it's falling off again.
Assassin's Head - In the scene where the assassin is killed, Glas touches his head & the assasin is facing one way, then Diana runs up & he's facing to other way.
Glas's Crown - In the end scene with Glas & Conor, the crown is straight, then crooked, then straight again.
Costume Changes - In the final scene where Glas is crowned, our heroes are looking on, all dressed in druidic robes. However, the camera cuts to each character for a close-up reaction (Ca(i)tlin, Tully & then Fergus), but they are shown attired in their usual duds. Then the camera goes back to a wide shot again, & they are back in the robes. Only Conor's cuts & closeups are consistent.
Banshee- (Originally Aired 8/4/97)
The Candles - When Longinus & Diana are talking as he stands in front of a window, in the windowsill are two large, burning candles. The camera cuts to Diana, and then back to Longinus, & the candles are gone. Cut to Diana, back to Longinus, the candles are back again. Cut again, the candles are gone & stay gone.
Iron Age Dentistry - While the mother is in labor, she opens her mouth to scream. When she does that you can see at the back of her mouth, in her molars, a few fillings.
The Onlookers - At the very end during the wide angle shoot of Conor & Shannon getting out of the lake. It looks like a couple of people standing on the other shore, one of them wearing white. It also looks like there's a railing there too. Please people, stay behind the ropes. If you'll look to your left...
Doyle's Solution- (Originally Aired 8/11/97)
The Bent Sword II - During the sparring practice, after Conor slashes the pumpkin & is called over by Doyle, before he gets off his horse, his sword is bent, after he steps onto the ground, it's straight again. He should really find a new blacksmith, he keeps wasting those spares.
Handhold- Conor has a hold of Molly on the waterfall. He places his right arm around her shoulder. Then it cuts to a different angle, & his arm is under her shoulder, & his hand is near her wrist.
Red Boot- (Originally Aired 8/18/97)
The String - When Ca(i)tlin & Conor find Daniel(?) dying, Conor cuts the rope of the necklace that is around Daniel's neck & when he shows it to Glas it is one peice agian. And for my next trick...
The Eternal- (Originally Aired 8/25/97)
Ca(i)tlin's Sleeve - When the woman slashes Tully with the knife, Ca(i)tlin, in a wide shot, is seen pulling the right sleeve of her shirt off to tie around the cut. Then they show a close up of her & that's when she actually rips the sleeve off.
Wriststrap - When Conor approaches the two guards outside of the Father's room, he is wearing a leather wriststrap on his left wrist. But when he's talking to the guards, the wristband is gone. I guess the clasp was broken.
Most Episodes- (Originally Aired 9/1/97)
Torcs - The necklaces (Torc (multiple spellings)) the cast wears don't seem to ever want to stay in the same spot, especially Fergus'.

Minds hopefully corrupted since the creation of this page:
You are listening (maybe) to 'Dream' by Forest For The Trees.
If you find it annoying press the stop button.
