on the bbc robin hood, two episodes in

[bedlamsbard]

I have never seen so many canonical declarations of love in canon IN MY LIFE.

Also, now I want Susan shooting people. (Robin/Susan? I THINK SO. Actually, Robin/Peter is slightly more likely. *considers*)

tell me more about this bbc robin hood!

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

well, there is robin of locksley, and then there is his ex-manservant much, who calls him master and says, "I love you!" a lot, and then risks life and limb to save him when arthur robin sacrifices himself for his people and also shoots things like whoa, and then says, "I love you!" some more, and robin says, "I love you too!" and then wanders off with some OTHER GUY while much goes, "BUT IF YOU LOVE ME WHY ARE YOU TAKING HIM?" and then they ride off into the sunset. well. really they run away very quickly.

I CANNOT MAKE THESE THINGS UP. (except yes, i really did type arthur instead of robin.)

omg bbc. they are doing this on purpose, they are, they gotta be.

BUT IF YOU LOVE ME WHY ARE YOU TAKING HIM?

I KNOW. arthur is totally cuter than robin, though.

also, the watching of this is going to lead to pure susan AWESOME in dust. the combination of robin hood and reading about the greco-persian wars, i mean.

the word on the internet grapevine is that it is not as good as merlin? OUGHT I TO WATCH IT?

[bedlamsbard.livejournal.com]

hmm, i can't really say. i like merlin better, but i also have better streams of merlin; all i can find online are really crappy editions of robin hood. and i've only see two episodes.

morgana, though? totally more awesome than marian.

:snerk: do you want spoilers for other couples in the show?

Sadly, Robin Hood is not as awesome as Merlin. But it's Robin Hood. We don;t believe in telling the legend on tv without massive amounts of gay. (see RoS in the 80s, aka 'why yes the Sheriff and Guy are shagging, why do you ask?')

*shrug* I don't know; 'snot a big deal. Still working out if I'm going to watch it; maybe once I finish working my way through Friday Night Lights. (Texas! Football! High school! exactly my cup of tea. I am a woman of many faccets.)
