She took that pike for him. <br /><br />OK, I never would have watched the series, had it NOT been for Gisbourne and the Sheriff. I saw ten minutes of episode one and turned it off, JUST before Gisborne rides into Locksley. I just happened to have it on one day as background noise and heard Sherry berating Guy and that was that.<br /><br />Has anyone noticed that once Guy realized he was being USED by PJ/Sherry/et al, he turned into a ferocious and skilled fighter? No more getting bested by people I could take in a fair fight. That always makes me crazy. So I have convinced myself that he just didn't care enough -- like when the outlaws were killing his troops at the mine and he stood there. (Not to mention he was evolving into a Good Guy and Good Guys always win.)<br /><br />Robin was a brat that maybe someone along the way slapped him till his eyes turned blue-green? I felt so bad when Guy and Isabella got run out of their home with nothing except the clothes on their back. But Robin learned from his mistake in letting Guy all but hang...<br /><br />My favorite is the opening of The Enemy of My Enemy -- probably because I saw it on BBC when I was in Paris. I just stood in my hotel room and stopped breathing.<br /><br />He does get tied up a bit...loved the serving maid getting closer to check him out.Joan Crenshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09061380968166317200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173914596327749967.post-27198591232828816362010-01-27T14:34:33.779-06:002010-01-27T14:34:33.779-06:00I didn't feel that Guy was attracted to Meg in...I didn't feel that Guy was attracted to Meg in quite the same way as he loved Marion. However, Meg showed him a kindness which he was not used to, Guy's response was perhaps more as a brother or uncle. The gentle kiss, a gesture of warmth in her dying moments. He does hesitate initally, then responds to her request.<br />Meg obviously had a crush on him, but who doesn't.<br /><br /><br />Guy was tied up quite alot in S3wasn't he?

I must admit the addition of Archer (who by the end of the series I was beginning to warm to!) was a good move. I believe that if they ever resurrect Robin Hood it might prove pretty popular. Personally I think a prequel to Robin Hood, say "The early years", would be a good way to go too! I think the series of Robin Hood may only have been mothballed and those costumes may yet get dusted off and used again. I hope Richard managed to buy Guy's leather outfit. By the way I heard that when the original outfit of Gizzy's was on show at an exhibition in Nottingham, England, staff found that members of the public had "interferred" with Guy's leather trousers. They ended up around the dummy's ankles. Whatever next?!!!! Obviously someone with a sense of humour.

Was wondering if it ...Great comments as usual Nat!<br /><br />Was wondering if it was ever explained why Isabella hated/feared her husband. I thought it was mentioned that she married him when she was 13 and that was the last time she saw Guy. When she first mentioned Thornton to Robin (BTW, what's witht the repeat name, isn't that the servant's name at Locksley) I assumed her husband was some old guy she was fleeing, but he isn't that old looking. Then I wondered why she didn't have any kids. I mean she must have been married for at least 10 years at this point and having no kids after 10 years of marriage would be problematic in that era, no? <br /><br />I think the writers should have addressed this issue. Perhaps as the source of tension between Isabella and her husband (he blames her for not giving him a kid) I was just lost on that storyline. Was anyone else?Twinkling Moonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173914596327749967.post-72171915372257990572010-01-26T14:42:52.279-06:002010-01-26T14:42:52.279-06:00I'm still not sure where S3 has disappeared to...I'm still not sure where S3 has disappeared to here in Oz. I think Oz TV has given up after Series 2. Glad you can review it, Nat! I agree with WitchyWoman above - Vasey and Guy make the most interesting combination - my impression is that the writers intended for their dialogue to be aimed at the adult audience. Robin and gang are more appealing to younger audiences?Mulubinbahttp://mulubinba.typepad.com/an_ra_viewers_perspective/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173914596327749967.post-88042177460455115752010-01-26T13:00:26.374-06:002010-01-26T13:00:26.374-06:00What bugged me about Meg is when she is saying her...What bugged me about Meg is when she is saying her lasts words she tells Guy she always did quite like him(words to that affect)...quite!! quite!! Blimey if that was me I would have told him he made my clothes want to melt when I saw him upon that horse and that I couldn't walk past an Oak tree without wanting to ambush him and tie him up....blah de blah de blah.<br />I think he only gave her a peck on the mouth instead of a full on snog because she was dying....there are limits LOL.<br /><br />Also...and this isnt because I love Richard best...I just didnt take to Robin. Guy and the Sheriff were the best double act since Morecombe and Wise who were more fun to watch and I found myself rooting for them. My little girl loved them too.<br />I blame the writers and not Jonas for that.WitchyWomannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173914596327749967.post-49296258695266829292010-01-26T09:46:18.480-06:002010-01-26T09:46:18.480-06:00"then he grows up to have green/blue eyes? H..."then he grows up to have green/blue eyes? Huh?" Wow Nat, you catch everything!<br /><br />I think Guy felt friendship for Meg but the breakdown was partly over poor Meg and how it was his kind of his fault she died and partly because her innocent death reminded him of Marian. I read somewhere Meg's death was the reason he wanted Isabella's death so fiercely.<br /><br />Good review....You are almost at the end....Get ready to cry for 2 episodes. <br /><br />@Traxy- I think Guy did not take Meg to the doctor because she was gut wounded and he knew there was no hope. Also because they were wanted and no one would want to go against the law.Avalonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722166722435492840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173914596327749967.post-41739732101582574232010-01-26T06:33:46.229-06:002010-01-26T06:33:46.229-06:00I put up the Meg bits (with Gizzy) on YouTube, thi...I put up the Meg bits (with Gizzy) on YouTube, think it's about 11 mins in total, so that's nearly 1/4 of the episode just on them two!<br /><br />Still wonder why he didn't take her to a doctor... but that wouldn't work for the "Guy beeing redeemed" bit. And yeah, she obviously didn't mean that much to him as she was never mentioned again! Just a plot device.<br /><br />Li'l Robin & Guy... that just confirmed my opinion that Robin is an annoying little git! I mean, he was an awful brat back then, and he still is! That episode was so much a "Guy's the one you should feel sorry for" episode. Which also shows very well that the show is centered on Guy rather than Robin... and that's just weird when the show's called "Robin Hood".<br /><br />I need to re-watch S3 now that I've seen the previous two properly... and that cheesy smile from PJ works as an incentive. What a lovely smile that bloke has. (Hmm, start with S3 RH or JE'06? What a dilemma!)Traxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13249884092846934427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173914596327749967.post-48816614222408880442010-01-26T06:08:19.877-06:002010-01-26T06:08:19.877-06:00Maybe Guy only gave Meg a chaste peck is because s...Maybe Guy only gave Meg a chaste peck is because she is, after all his Sparkhouse step-daughter!

Gizzy was so totally human and endearing! <br />I pity the creators of RH, they had a huge problem right from the start of the series: the bad guy being much more attractive than the hero! <br />When they reveal the past, Gisborne suffering because of Robin, they sign Robin's death as sure as hell! I mean, how can you do otherwise than sympathize with Gizzy after what's been done to him?<br />Nice comments, Nat, thanks!flandersdreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836137917865857474noreply@blogger.com
