Well, that was pleasantly not-shit!

THIS is the Robin Hood I know and love! I mean, there was no Guy-and-his-hair, but still! There was crack (AHAHAHA, the Sheriff kissing the corpse!hand! Allan in monkish robes! WITH TWO AWESOME SWORDS!), there were gang!shenanigans (Allan & Much! MUCH FAILING AT ANYTHING TO DO WITH WOMEN AND BEING GENERALLY ADORABLE!), Tuck was as fantastic as we have been led to expect from him, John's hair was fab, Kate was fine, and, MOST SHOCKINGLY, Robin wasn't a gigantic douche!

I am so happy to have my warm RH feelings restored! Meanwhile, TOBY IN THREE EPS UNF UNF UNF. Ahem. To restate the important points for those of you who weren't paying attention: GOD, I REALLY REALLY LOVE MUCH. Sam Troughton's eyes give me warm tummy feelings, and meep! he is so adorable with his Bible story excitement (HE BREAKS MY HEART BECAUSE REMEMBER HOW HE CAN'T REEEEEAD) and Kate COULD DO A LOT WORSE, OKAY, I AM JUST SAYING I WOULD NOT BE SO HASTY TO TURN UP MY NOSE AT SOME MUCH-LOVING. Also, TUCK IS, LIKE, NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM LEVELS OF BAMF.

What do we think of the attempts to incorporate Proper History and/or Issues, chickadees?

Also, the universe clearly loves me and wants me to be happy, because the-channel-formerly-known-as-UKTV History (now Yesterday!) showed alllll of the 2006 Jane Eyre this afternoon! SEX ON MY TELLYBOX AND ALL OVER MY PANTS. Ohhh, I have missed that miniseries. TOBY! RUTH! RUPERT THE BEAR-INSPIRED RIDING GET-UPS! THROATPORN! SLANNEN THE ELF! TOBY! RUTH! KISSING IN THE RAIN! HAIR EXTENSIONS! BOOTPORN! TOBY! RUTH!

Phnar.

I am LOVING this attempt at actually making the show somewhat historically relevant, but it's like, two series too late. (REMEMBER CASINO NIGHT? REALLY? Not that I don't love that episode. Still my favorite of series 2 because unexpected Dexter Fletcher is unexpected!) They're doing a semi-decent job of it I suppose too, what with the Irish Question.

But basically I agree with your carnal instincts of "TOBY UNF UNF UNF." He'll come and impregnate the entire village of Locksley since Richard won't. We'll be in line, of course.

OHH CASINO NIGHT. OHH DEXTER FLETCHER. I think I'd have to go with "Angel of Death" as my S2 favourite, because, y'know, WILL SCARLETT AND HIS NECK. This history thing seems to be working surprisingly well, though!

CARNAL INSTICTS IS THE MOST APPROPRIATE PHRASE HERE, I THINK. Jesus, that man and his crotch!

LOL, perfect timing. I just got the email notification for this comment and my sister (in the process of rewatching the series) ims me with "UNEXPECTED DEXTER FLETCHER IS UNEXPECTED." I feel like we should have t-shirts.

IT WOULD BE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE TOO. GET ON THAT, WRITERS!
