It's Project Runway day! 10 p.m. (Why do I have the feeling I'll forget?) 10 p.m. 10 p.m.
*shifts gears*
Anyone know what year it's supposed to be in Robin Hood? I came to a realization this morning about why I just can't quite get behind Robin: it's the blind following/loyalty to King Richard who, as history tells us, just wasn't that great. He was always on a Crusade and probably would have sold off the country if he could just to fund the war. And then this morning I was looking him up on Wiki, and read some other nasty things I don't remember ever learning about in school.
But maybe this is one of those things where I just can't quite get my mind into that monarch loyalty mindset? You serve your King/Queen without question? (Back then, that is.) Or maybe Robin really does believe that Richard is in the moral right? Or that the monarch is ordained by God?
To me Robin's been sipping at the Kool-Aid. I've not once seen him stop to actually think about things, and he and his group are always 100% convinced that everything will be just ducky for England if only King Richard would return.
Heh. Look at me wanting The West Wing in a kiddie show.
