Robin Hood 2x06
It's time for a hair check. After all, it really is all about the hair.
Guy
Oh, Guy. Why haven't you gone to the castle barber lately? Too long and no shape = bad hair.
Marian
Marian does the power clip here, which while having obvious hypnotic powers over Guy, rates a neutral on the hair meter.
Robin
Unlike Guy, Robin does like to take care of his look. But on the downside, seems to favor last year's Gap ads. Bad hair.
Allan
It seems a bit too short, but I'm feeling high levels of indifference about the hair.
Djaq
It's an extremely cute look on her, but is currently bordering on bushy. I'll give it a thumbs up with the understanding that it gets no longer than this.
Much
He gets credit for covering up what is undoubtedly very, very bad hair.
Will
Will wins the hair award, hands down! It's cute yet scruffy. It says, "I romp in the woods, but mice don't live on my head!" Kudos, Will!
Little John
Not shown.
Guy attempts to distract from the hair by taking off his shirt.
For some reason Allan *heartily* approves.
I've suddenly decided that I no longer care that Guy's hair is completely out of control or about the fact that he swiped Michael Jackson's jacket and spray painted it black; Richard Armitage's accent is freekin' HOT.
Oh my. That was a very quick and forceful "no" about handing over Marian to some dude there, Guy. You're supposed to loathe Marian, remember? (BAH! I curse you, PTB! Why do you flaunt this *extremely* tempting ship, when everyone knows it'll never happen? If this show wasn't called "Robin Hood," I probably would jump on board. But I need another ship that'll end up badly like I need a hole in the head.)
Edward: [speaking about this episode's baddie] "He wants Marian."
Robin: "Marian? What for?"
Oh, Robin. Robin, Robin, Robin. Robin. He wants to play chess with her.
Seriously. I would totally ship this if I didn't know it will end up Robin/Marian.
However, while this ship might very well end up canon, I feel no pull towards it.
Marian: Sorry, Robin. But have you seen his chest? MY GOD.
Robin: *wonders why the hell so many people want to play chess with Marian*
Plot of this episode? Well, there was one involving the Brotherhood of the Black Knights, and Robin trying to stop them from signing a pact. Robin even went on a killing rampage. The stopping of the pact wasn't successful, nor was the killing, but still. And it all finishes with another round of Much-bashing.

And the shirt that Guy changes into after flashing us his pecs again? He should totally wear it more often. Without the coat. Possibly after caught in the rain. And then take the shirt off again. You know, to keep it nice. Not that I've given this any thought.
Oh! On the Matilda spin-off, I wasn't paying close attention but someone said they thought they saw Tony Slattery in preview for next week. So, really not a stretch!
Plot of this episode?
Wedge Antillies is evil. He oogles Marian in front of Guy. Guy is all like, "HAY! No one oogles her but me!" Allan is falling in love with Guy (as you do). Robin gets on his high horse again. Djaq and Will are lovely. Little John gets some manly bells. Much is abused. Guy and the Sheriff and Allan make the bestest team ever and save Marian. All while Robin looks confused. And Guy and Marian totally have a post-danger snuggle (because that's what you do).
no subject
Huh. Never new that.
Of course it also said Robin beheads Guy, so there's that too.
*FLAILS*

Best summary ever.

Seriously. They make it so easy.

Hee! Now I want an icon of Will with that quote on it!
I love your RH reviews, the Little John 'not shown' reminded me of Arrested Development's 'footage not found', LOL.

I second that!
It's just begging to be iconed.
Been missing this season due to spotty TV and stupid uni but I always have these entries to hold onto. Becasue really, who cares about the plot or having to sit through it when you can just look at caps of
semi-naked Guymen. Manly men. Ok, not Robin.no subject

It's pretty much
- romp through woods
- romp through woods
- Robin gives a speech that shows how he lives in a completely black-and-white world
- CHEST!!!
- romp through woods
- boiling pot of oil
- romp through woods

And they actually battled over a boiling pot of oil in this ep! It was like the biggest prop you'd ever seen! Straight out of a comic book. :D

Mwah!
I love your RH reviews,
Thanks!

Ha! Hmm. I really need to watch AD again.

Oh well I'm great at multi shipping. So I can read many pairings but will always go back to my book/movie/TV show OTP.
no subject
Yes! It's that "bad guy who tries to do good things because he's in love." It's hard to resist that!

If I felt inclined to read RH fic, I probably could read just about any pairing in it. It's handy not being involved in a ship for a show.

RA's accent = HOTTEST THING EVER. He really needs to be on a less crappy show.
no subject
:D We'll just have to hope that Guy constantly decides to strip in front of the camera!

He needs to be the romantic lead in something. Anything. He could be a hamster farmer and I would TOTALLY watch.
