virtually all of the Merry Men joined the band after first beating Robin in a fight
heee. Nice touch. Robin McKinley has a running bit about that in Outlaws of Sherwood, in that Robin is generally considered to be the worst archer of all of them, and the one who wins the big prize at the Nottingham fair is actually Marian.
In Robin of Sherwood, the introduction of Jason Connery as Robert of Huntingdon, aka Robin Hood Take Two, involves a fabulously funny drunken battle with Will Scarlet all through a bar in Lichfield.
In RoS, btw, Will Scarlet is anything but a nobleman: he's a former soldier who gets thrown in jail for killing the Normans who raped and murdered his wife. He's basically psychotic -- which works perfectly, given that he's played by Ray Winstone.
Daffy Duck as Robin Hood now.
"Duck, turn, dodge, parry....don't tell nobody, but it's actually a buck-and-a-quarter staff."
'Suela, I can't remember if Carpenter wrote Scarlet against type, or auditioned Winstone for any of the merries, and rewrote Scarlet for him. In any case, RoS's Scarlet is definitely against the type all the legends and ballads described Scarlet.
RoS's Alan a' Dale was quite different, too. In that A) he wasn't a member of the band, and 2) he couldn't actually sing. Whereas Clive Mantle (John) was a chorister with either Cambridge or Oxford, and Mark, Phil, and Michael all sang well, too.
This time, He asked why she won't go to the cave and she says she doesn't want to be eaten.
Hi all, first post to this thread, so be kind. I re-watched the episode tonight, and I'm fairly certain Kate said "I don't want to be Eve". The first time I watched it, I though she was saying 'I don't want to be eaten" too, but on re-watch.. the Eve comment makes more sense.
She definitely said "Eve". Did someone post otherwise?
Yes, as per my indented post. Sorry, I don't remember who said that first.
Yeah, I heard "Eve," too. Which I thought was interesting, because I couldn't decide if she thought that made Jack Adam, or that this "Eve" wound up dead.
Skipping waaaay back to something Hec posted: isn't interesting to think of how or why Hurley, if he is a Walmart or video store clerk or some such, winds up in Australia? Thus needing a flight back to the US
A?
(And Happy Birthday Daniel! I hope you're out celebrating!)
I'm thinking he's coming back from an Australian SF con -- maybe he went as a DUFF winner (Down Under Fan Fund). That would explain why he came up with the dinosaur theory. The comic book that Walt found might be his, too....

I think this would make me indescribably happy, regardless of the rest of his story.
