Season two premiered on February 16, 2016, and increased to 10 episodes.
#Forged in fire cutting deeper series#
The History channel ordered an initial eight episodes of the series with the first program premiering on Monday, June 22, 2015, at 10pm ET. Neilson (Jason Knight during portions of season 3 and 4 Ben Abbott during portions of season 4th, 5th, 6th and remaining in the 7th season), David Baker, and Doug Marcaida: experts in weapon making, history and use. The series has a host (formerly Wil Willis for the first seven seasons, currently hosted by Grady Powell) and a three-judge panel consisting of J. Last episode I had, a girl in round 2 only had blocks for her handle, no refinement, so no testing, a combination of the nasty challenge and the reduced round time.In each episode, four bladesmiths compete in a three-round elimination contest to forge bladed weapons, with the overall winner receiving $10,000 and the show's championship title "Forged in Fire Champion". Sure, they make it easier to find a winner/loser, but I like it better when the smiths can do a better job, end up with a nicer end product. Personally I hate the shortened times and more complicated complications. And the order leaves a lot to be desired, so as a completionist I've had to keep careful track to make sure to catch episodes I haven't seen. Last year's Hallowe'en episode never aired until this Hallowe'en, ditto with the Christmas episode which I should be catching this week. It seemed like Season 7 ended in May, then in September I started seeing more Season 7 episode numbers, IMDb listed them all as having airdates in the summer. I just saw the last episode to get me up to date, which on IMDb has an original air date of July something. The Canadian one I watch and the American one that makes the show, because mine has been very sloppy about airing them. I've come to the realization that there are 2 History channels. I too miss the judges room, seeing the competitors squirming on cozy couches while watching through the window. About to start Season 8 at Episode 2 for some reason) it seems like even they realized 24 hour epoxy was a mean red herring, I haven't seen it come up in a few seasons. Having seen every episode now (well, except The Partizan, it has somehow avoided me, and I think last Christmas. Why did they get rid of that - I loved it. Good for him.ĮTA: Man, the early seasons have segments where the judges discuss each blade in more detail before ruling. Knowing Will will leave is a bummer, but it is hard to feel too bad 7 seasons is not exactly nothing. I now look dubiously at my kitchen knives.It is just cruel to have 24 hour epoxy on the shelf lol.The women I have seen so far have been impressive it's physically a lot harder for them, and the equipment is often sized awkwardly.The 3 hour limit in the first season when the competitors had never seen the show seemed a lot tougher than in the last season, when every smith has a really clear idea of what they are in for. Some of the early eliminations were sad, J.D., etc.Awful lot of episodes come down to two great blades, that was nice to see.Also, the embryonic "It can cut", "It's a killer" variants of Doug's catchphrases! Fun to see it evolve into the iconic phrasing of S6.
The early seasons are missing the "It's not what your blade does the the, but what the does to your blade" spiel.Order of challenges seems to have changed up, with the strength test moving to first in the later seasons?.The contraptions for testing sucked, much prefer the hand beatings.At least someone moved on while missing parameters - this shocked me. The show was a lot less structured in the beginning.Burt Foster just showed up for the first time, and he is a hoot. So I am now through around S2E7, patiently waiting for the first Ben episode the season promo has him looking so young it cracks me up. So I end up on History, where (so far) all of seasons seem to be available. Then I looked on Hulu, but the first 2 seasons are missing. I went looking for BTJ, as I had heard good things, and was able to buy the 8 BTJ episodes from Google Play, really enjoyed those (and hey wow Dave and Ben!) Around my family's shows, I managed to watch all the episodes, enjoyed it quite a lot. So, like a lot of people, my first contact with this show was when Netflix threw S6 in my queue.
