Meme first: Comment here and ask me ANYTHING about any fandom I'm involved in/have been involved in, or fandom in general. Controversial or innocent, silly or serious, ask and you'll get my honest opinion on the subject [to the best of my knowledge/ability].
Robin Hood next - I am about to say something I never expected to say. Robin Hood was good last week. In fact it was more than good, there was tension and suspense! Okay the week before's also managed that and had the best guest ever (seriously, if we can't have Friar Tuck, could we have the reprise of the fool). It's actually getting to be a good programme.
There was sense, because when they wished to convey huge army, they just used different shots of real people on horses rather than bad CGI. I mean, Nottingham itself was still bad CGI, but we've come to expect that.
And I think they've figured out how to write Robin, because last season the scene at the end with Little John would have been painful because Robin would have been a wanker about it. Also I wish to hug Little John.
It's also quite interesting what they're doing with Guy of Guisborne. Because they've not made him nice, he's not a good guy, not even in the Marvel anti-hero sense. He is still a dyed in the wool bad guy. But he loves Marian so much. I do always wonder if she knows quite how much (because, for all he is occasionally stalker creepy, I refuse to believe I was the only one who cheered when he turned back). They've also been really careful with Marian's character because she doesn't seem like an arse for refusing him.
And, while I'm aware that this really doesn't need saying, Sam Troughton brought it with a vengence. Because when Robin tells him, he's so utterly heartbroken and he just glowed with misery because he's happy for Robin. Well done sir, my heart is making with the aching on your behalf.
