And this week's story is pilfered from...
Is it just me or has there been a shift in writing this series? Like they paid attention to what was wrong about S1 and are making adjustments? Robin seems to have smartened up a bit and they are really trying to sell the whole romantic lead thing with Robin/Marian kisses throughout the episodes, instead of having him prance off into the forest.
Robin: I am the romantic lead, dammit!
Marian: Seriously?
Also, they seem to be bending over backwards to try and downplay the sex appeal of Sir Guy by having him be mean to Marian every scene they're in, the whole "misunderstood evil guy" element is basically gone, as well as doubling the eyeliner and flattening the hair. See? It's harder to see the hot when they're turning him into emo!PeterParker.
Guy: Fetch, bitch.
Guy fangirls: *FETCH*
RA: I do NOT get paid enough to see Keith Allen's giblets on a regular basis.
(Palate-cleanser. No need to thank me.)
As far as the actual plot of this episode? Ocean's Eleven. Don't believe me?
Resident computer-hacker Will creates scale model of the vault, complete with booby traps.
Little John: *is not a George Clooney fan*
Djaq cleans up hot for Casino Night at Nottingham Castle.
Marian: See, you have to suddenly bet a large amount of money so that it will go into the vault...oh, here. Just watch the DVD.
(Dude in background is wearing a windbreaker. I SWEAR.)
Robin: Hey! I don't remember any CGI pits of lava under the Bellagio!
Extra in the role of the Stick Man: Heh heh heh. I just totally horked all the donuts from the Craft Services table.
And Robin & Co. get the gold with one second to spare, dressing up as German footmen as their getaway. Just, you know, without the SWAT gear.
Hmm. Did I say that they were trying to cut back on the sex appeal of Guy? Um, I take that back in seeing the promo for the next episode.
Marian: Robin who?
TPTB: Eyeliner equals EVIL!
Guy fangirls: *DO NOT CARE*

Why only pilfer half-way? ;)

Yeah, that was my first reaction to your comments at the beginning. Cut back on sex appeal? I don't think so :D
Good crack indeed. Who knew there was such pretty under them clothes? I certainly didn't - he didn't get naked enough in North and South (or at all, really, except the cravat untying, which was enough to send me into spasms of joy; I may die next week).

Mwah. Yeah, I got to the very end and... :D

See, now this is why there needs to be a N&S sequel!!

*nods* Now that I think about it the whole episode is basically the hour long version of Ocean's Eleven.
LOL I started cracking up because I could so see a bunch of fangirls scrambling to get that coin and fighting for it.
There does appear to be some changes that are meant to be improvements. Which is always good. And I think there was only one mention about Marian's decision to stay and play spy.
During this episode when Robin started making yet another one of his speeches, I started thinking about BtVS's final season where Buffy gave speeches almost every single episode that year. I'm hoping Robin doesn't need to make speeches every episode but if he does I'll just rationalize the speeches as meant for the guy who is playing both sides ( I think his name is Allen? ).
HA! :)

That totally would happen. :D

Just making sure the audience got it, apparently. In case we'd forgotten about her father.

Robin luuuuurves his speeches. Probably wouldn't matter who was there.
