Robin Hood.2
Fresh from the group fist-air-pump in the series finale, Robin and his men hurry back to the forest to work on their new routine: making sure everyone gets a turn to taunt those they rob by each saying a word or phrase from their "turn over your money, bitch" speech. First time using it, the robees are not impressed and a fight breaks out. Quickly into the fight, Robin, the master of subtlety, yells "Time to disappear! My gang! This way!" Fortunately for Robin, their resident computer hacker/technogeek – Will Scarlet – has built hidey-holes to back up Robin. Also fortunately for Robin, the pursuers give up in 3.5 seconds and never walk ahead ten feet so they could say, "hey, this doesn't feel like dirt!"
New main titles. Different. And wordy.
Back at the castle, the Sheriff continues to try and convince Guy that women are icky. Probably with the philosophy that if he says it enough times, it'll become true. The Sheriff is a lot like a fandom evangelist.
Oh, Robin. If you have to tell Marian "that kiss spoke volumes" to her, it didn't.
Bwahahahahaha! So the Sheriff's sister has been out in the sun all day with a wig and spirit gum. But a split-second Scooby Doo reveal later and she's got the perfect hair and makeup.
No. Nonono. Why must it be a pit of snakes? Just kill Robin Hood. Right now! With a sword! You MORONS. Okay, fine. Snakes. Drop him! Drop him now! Oh. They've decided to lower him one inch at a time. *waits* Wait, what? They've stopped the lowering? But someone's tucked his shirt back in during the cutaway. No, hold on. They started it again AND THEN ALL LEAVE. YOU MORONS.
Mwah. So the writers finally came up with the reason why Robin can't just kill the Sheriff. Totally necessary since that whole thing about Robin only killing someone out of defense seems nice and all, until you consider the sadistic tyranny and murder happening on a daily basis because the Sheriff's walking around. (Not sure what made this pop into my head, but Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo could OWN Nottingham. I think I might need to watch Rome again...)
And it ends with a rousing cheer of "I amSpartacus Robin Hood!"
Oh, Robin Hood. Don't ever change from your ridiculous ways. I may have to start a count of the number of times Robin and Marian have the same conversation about Marian joining Robin's gang. (My secret theory is that Marian really can't stand the thought of living with the slobs, who would undoubtedly expect her to cook and clean for them. And so she'd have to kick all their asses due to said expectation, which she totally could, but has no desire to chip a nail.)

Is it wrong that I only noticed this because the Robin!Tummy was no longer on display?
And ew on the snakes. Lots of EW!

I was noticing his pants getting lower and lower, and thinking how there will be a billion icons of that on LJ now. :D
And ew on the snakes. Lots of EW!
At first I thought that was green screen, but then the actress really did seem to be surrounded by snakes. Ew, is right.

Hehehe I so second this thought! At least now things seem to have evened out in terms of "people on the inside."
The prerequisite group ending is the only way to end an episode of Robin Hood.
Yep! I mean seriously we needed some sort of excuse to continue to see Robin right at the edge of killing the Sheriff but then leaving while the Sheriff says that he wants Robin dead... plot device... At least they're trying ;D

*nods*
It really was getting lame...er how Robin would almost kill the Sheriff, but then not.

Another good thing that I just realized about the first episode, is that they didn't have those repeated shots during the action sequence bit.
Either I didn't see them or my brain was prepared to forget the first two shots and go on to the third. ;D

And Marion, bless her, is so pure, she doesn't even glow -
LOL!!
I love that comedy show!
Wait..? Whadyamean Auntie Beeb; it's serious drama?!
Well, it cheered me up anyway :)
