I admit, I only watched one episode, and was put off by the wearing of camo fatigues and the heavy-handed PTSD and war in Iraq allegories.
Plus Robin and Marian are short on charisma.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I think that you have to watch the new Robin Hood like anyone watches Smallville. With v. low expectations.
Oh yes. Yet somehow I couldn't look away.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I kind of liked Robin Hood. Of course, I watch Moonlight and Blood Ties so my tolerance is high and my expectations low. Jekyll is excellent!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
It's a BBC series from Ste Moffat, sumi. (One of the best Doctor Who writers). (Well, the best Who writer by far, in fact).

Okay, I just didn't get it in the context of Robin Hood. (Apparently, the Sheriff of Nottingham is the father of Lily Allen the singer.) And I read elsewhere that early in season 2 there is shirtless wet Guy of Guisborne.

Yes! And he had a funny stand off with some fundamentalists!

Oh, sorry. He did a 'documentary' about those God Hates Fags people earlier this year. It was brilliant. (He's gay, so I had to put quote marks around documentary, because he didn't quite agree with them...)

My favourite part of that was the camera pulling back to reveal what he was doing during the final shot...
Brilliant. Absolutely fucking brilliant.
