Friday Knight Fights is an audio drama podcast that follows modern-day college students discovering that they are the reincarnations of characters from Arthurian Legend. This is my review.
Tumblr media
Arthur Padron was just an average teenager trying to enjoy his gap year before college. Then he met a girl named Lynn, and touched the magic sword she had with her. Arthur soon discovered that he is the modern-day reincarnation of King Arthur himself. Lynn turns out to be the reincarnation of the great sorcerer Merlin, and the sword is Excalibur itself. They’re also joined by Elliot, who is the reincarnation of Lancelot. The modern reincarnations of the Knights of the Round Table are scattered across modern-day America. Arthur, Lynn, and Elliot must set off on a cross-country roadtrip to recruit the reincarnated knights. However, though magic is returning to the world, so too are dark forces. It’s sure to be an adventure of Arthurian proportions.
There have been a few other works that utilize the premise of Arthurian characters reincarnating in the modern-day. However, it is not how many times a premise has been done, but how well you execute it, that truly matters. Personally, I’d say that @fridayknightfights did a pretty good job handling its premise.
Season one is split into two alternating parts. One part takes place during everyone’s freshmen year at college, while the other takes place one year earlier, and shows how everyone met. Each episode will features scenes relating to both plot lines. Usually, the freshmen year plot line starts off the episode, and then we transition to the one year earlier plot line. Also, in case you’re wondering, the sword on the cover art is Excalibur, and the red threads are the red threads of destiny. 
One of the biggest strengths of Friday Knight Fights is its absolutely stellar cast. I could tell from my first listen that the cast were all extremely talented and hard-working. I don’t know if any of them have prior experience in voice acting, but I see very bright futures for them all. Now, having said all of this, I need to do a bit of tough love. The audio quality, while overall passable, can have some noticeable inconsistencies at times. There will be sometimes when characters will have a noticeable background hiss accompany their dialogue. Also, there’s always a little bit at the end of each episode, after the credits, that feels like it was incidental recordings left in by accident. So, definitely want to even out those audio levels and remove that background hiss. However, I have full confidence that the Friday Knight Fights crew will be able to iron-out these issues.
There’s a lot of really fun little nods and references to the original Arthurian Legends. For example, Gerry is the reincarnation of Gawain, and he hates the color green. This is an obvious nod to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. In other nods, Carlos and Delilah are the reincarnations of Kay and Bedivere, and are hinted to have feeling for each other. Very interesting, as Kay and Bedivere were quite close in the original legends. I also love that one episode took place at Medieval Times Chicago.
Season one of Friday Knight Fights brought lots of urban fantasy fun with an Arthurian twist. I can’t wait to see what season two brings us.
Have you listened to Friday Knight Fights? If so, what did you think?

With Merlin no around Diane, she won’t have pills anymore. Can she still shrink? Spoiler: Yes and here’s how
As you already know, King and Diane returned to the FKF while Merlin is with Arthur probably on Camelot. That means that neither Merlin wont be there to use her magic to shrink Diane or to give her the pills Diane used a lot of times on the story to be on human size. Ok. But, that means Diane won’t ever be tiny again? No, not even close. Indeed, the basic reason she could do it before still exists, having Merlin around or not. 
First, let’s remember what Merlin’s pills are made of: 
Tumblr media
Exactly, the drug basically uses the spores produced by the Chicken Matango,  King Trumpet-Type mushroom being able to shrink other creatures when they feel they’re in danger as defense. Merlin only facilitated for Diane the way of using the mushrooms’ effects whenever she wanted to shrink. And luckily for Diane, each pill’s effects last 7 whole hours. 
But, if we go further back in history, we can remember how Diane became human size for the first time: 
youtube
Exactly, Diane and Elizabeth found themselves a chicken matango, Diane hit it and the mushroom released the spores so both of them shrunk. And as far as we know, those effects lasted since that moment until the final round of the Vaizel Tournament, with Diane VS Meliodas. I would say it lasted overall 2 hours at least. 
Tumblr media
Well, now that we remembered this, we can think nowadays Diane still can shrink using those mushrooms. They can still be found on the forests, and even on the FKF, since we could see walking mushrooms in the first FKF living with Elaine. Diane just has to hit them and let the spores do the work. 
I even think King and Diane can work on something by themselves to facilitate the process, something like Merlin did but, instead of pills, they can create bottles of forest fruit juices with the mushrooms’ spores dissolved on them. So Diane just has to drink the bottle to be on human size for some hours. It’s easy for King to get the mushrooms and fruits (he’s the fairy king after all) so it shouldn’t be a problem and it’s a good solution for Diane if she wants to be tiny for some time. 
Now, about how much time she can be tiny. With the pills it lasted 7 hours, not sure if it was for the big concentration of the spores or for Merlin’s work itself.
But, let’s remember now what King can do with his magic ability, Disaster 
Tumblr media
That’s it. As the Fairy King, one of the many things he can do is increase the effect of a poison, turning it into a fatal one. But overall, he has the absolute control of life and death over flora (plants, trees). So, since we know he can increase the effective power of a poison, who says he can’t also increase the the effective power of the Chiken Matango’s spores and therefore increase the effect time? I think that’s totally logic and possible for King to do it. And in this way, Diane can last a lof of more hours on human size. 
In summary, there’s no way Diane can’t never be tiny again, that option is still possible as long those mushrooms exists. Diane can hit them and let the spores work on her, she can save those spores and mix them with something to take it whenever she wants, and of course she has all the support of King to make that happen. 
So, let’s not worry about her not having Merlin’s help, because there’s nothing to worry about ;)
