Maps and Mirrors

One week to series three of Robin Hood and what should be some truly exquisite manpain. Bring. It. On. Also, Joanne Froggatt.

I was listening to the Cars' first album this last week and I realized that "You're All I've Got Tonight" is a perfect Robin/Guy song. If I indulged in such things. *tries to look innocent* *fails miserably*

OK, so now I've finally seen it all. I've known for months what happened, if not precisely how they got there, and in that time I've read a lot of people talking about how unhappy they were with the ending, particularly that they were unhappy with how it was handled.

Now, having seen it for myself, I can't really agree.

I've never called this a brilliantly written show and I still won't. But I think how they got from point A to point D was reasonable and believable. I've seen and complained about previous instances where the writers seem to be pushing the bounds of believability for a character. I don't agree that's what happened here. It was not without clumsiness, but this show has done much worse.

Also, now having seen the entire run, I can say conclusively that I just can't agree with the Marian haters.
( cut for actual spoilery content )

I seem to be in danger of becoming a Guy/Marian shipper.

And I say that having been spoiled through the end of the second series. Because, yeah, that's about twisted enough for me.
