lcopela1 When I heard than deceased Heath Ledger was in this series, I intentionally looked it up online. It wasn't until watching the 2nd and 3rd episodes that I realized why I didn't watch it. From an historical standpoint, the premise is utterly flawed both with regards to inventions ( gun powder ) as well as traditions of the Druids. If they would have stuck to a more believable plot sequence, embellished it with 5th century magic, it may have gone someplace. The actors were superb for what they had to work with and the youthful Ledger showed the promise that would blossom prior to his untimely death. All in all, it was better than Zena or Hercules which was of the same period. However, it lacked substance and the characters remained rather stilted.

klchu It's really sad when you think of how much potentially great television has been canceled by Fox TV.It's easy to just think of Roar as some Dungeons and Dragons clone, but it was really so much more. Regardless of the genre of any television show, it's the characters that make or break a show, and Roar had some great characters. My two favorites where John Saint Ryan's Fergus and Sebastian Roche's Longinus. These are two really good actors who just don't get enough real work.Had Roar been able to stay true to its epic story roots, with Conor trying to reunite Ireland, then this could have been a great show.

deviousfate When Roar first came out on TV, I adored it. I watched it every time it was on with my mom and was disappointed when the series ended. They claimed it was only a season finale, but never brought it back. It's been years now .. and .. I'm still waiting!!! Heath Ledger got his start on this show as the cute blonde haired Celtic prince. No one knew who he was back then, and when I first saw adds for '10 Things..' I started screaming that Conor was gonna be in a movie. Absolutely adorable, and the accent is always a plus.This show didn't deserve to be cut from the line-up. It was a good show, and more people watched it than FOX thought. Good thing Sci-Fi has picked up it's reruns. I now have the entire season on VHS to watch whenever I want.Maybe FOX will wise up and try again. Even if they can't get Heath to play the lead, they might be able to get someone worthy of filling his shoes. Though we might not like it at first .. to have the show back with someone just as gorgeous and just as good .. would be fine by me! Bring back Roar!!! And quit canceling the shows that are actually worth watching!!

staci_marie_1998 The only way I was able to see this series. (Well, 8 episodes, anyway, I'm still looking for someone who's selling a tape with all 13 on it) As was, I sat in my room all day and watched the series all the way through.. *WOW*. I haven't loved a show this much since Quantum Leap. And of course, both aren't being made anymore. :-P The plot line was original and highly entertaining, I loved the dialogue, and the people who acted in this show brought the characters to life superbly. I *really* wish more episodes had been made.
