aibu in thinking that what marion is doing to gisbourne is dishonet, dishonourable and downright bitchfaced?

[pukkapatch]

she is leading him on. pretending she is a wonderful person. asking him to do things, endangering his life for her. when she has agreed to marry robin.
gisbourne isnt the baddy the sheriff is. or even allan the traitor. yet both robin and marian act so high and mighty on their pedestals.
yes i know its just a bit of escapist telly, but she is really really bothering me. with her two faced angelic face....... and gisbourne is good

[SenoraPostrophe]

will would be quite cute if he was older than 16.

[saltirehangingonachristmastree]

He just looks 16, he's actually about 25. Not that I read up on him or anything.DS2 told me

[wessexgirl]

Big up to the scriptwriting team for inserting so many gratuitous shirtless-Guy scenes into this series as well. Seems they know their audience .

[saltirehangingonachristmastree]

Also his voice, it's soooooo sexy. Don't know why he has to whisper all teh time. Got DS2 an audio CD of the Robin hood series, for Christmas read by richard Armitage. Neeldess to say I listened to it once or twice just to make sure it worked

[pukkapatch]

sp, he isnt murdering people in cold blood is he. he is doing what the law of the land is telling him to do. the problem is the law of the land!
he didnt want to burn her house down. he had to.
if you are a policeman, you cant just pick and choose the orders you follow. you have to follow the law, whether you agree withit or not. and he is a policeman. it's robin who is the criminal, outlaw !

[LittleSleighBellasRinging]

pmsl at the legal apologism for Guy

But yes Marion's horrid to him and doesn't deserve him to love her and she should run off to Robin and leave brooding Guy to me... I bet I could find a more mediaeval costume than those ones she wears

[LittleSleighBellasRinging]

He's not nice btw, he does keep on murdering and threatening to murder people

[SenoraPostrophe]

he´s not a policeman, and he was about to cut off an innocent woman´s finger only last week.

you have left your senses in your knickers, woman.

[pukkapatch]

lol

but thats what the police did int he twelfth century.

[pantoinghousewife]

Well if she doesn't want him, she can pass him my way. I do like a bad boy.

[hatwoman]

aren't gisbourne's costumes a bit strange too? he looks like they couldn;t quite make their mind up as to whether he was in Two Gentlemen of Verona or spending the weekend at a biker's rally. I'd find him a lot sexier if he didn't look quite so ridiculous. Robin's cute. in a boy band sort of way. looks like you could educate him.

[wessexgirl]

I like his gloves...mmm...(oops, TMI )

[pantoinghousewife]

Oh no! Robin looks about the same age as my ds!

[LittleSleighBellasRinging]

That's another thing that irritates me (apart from Marion's costumes and Robin being 12, although he's beginning to grow on me), that's not how the authorities behaved in the twelfth century, the Norman occupation was brutal, but they were also very concerned to legitimise it by law and there were quite strict rules on what people could do (in theory). You couldn't just go around razing villages to the ground and cutting out people's tongues without good reason.

Oh I know, I should just sit back and enjoy Guy of Gisbourne and not be pedantic about the fact that it would be impossible to get a message from Nottingham to London within a day, let alone a messenger followed by a mini-army...

[LittleSleighBellasRinging]

No hatwoman, Guy's mad costumes are part of his... strange attraction...

[SueBaRoomForAMincePie]

well, precisely. I should be able to switch off the voice in my head saying "They couldn't make that colour dye in that century, and what the hell is she doing wearing No.7 lip gloss?"

What's wrong with me????

[pantoinghousewife]

Pendants!! You do realise Robin Hood is fictional....no?

[wessexgirl]

The Sheriff likes to quote Bob Dylan too. I'm sure they didn't do that in the C12th.

[JackieNoel]

It's not a documentary, you know. Though I do find myself inwardly tutting at the costumes and language occasionally, but still enjoying it.

[SueBaRoomForAMincePie]

I can't do it, pedentry or not. It just doesn't 'fit'. Sometimes, it can work really well to jigger about with this sort of thing, like in A Knight's Tale. But on Robin Hood, it just looks like the costuming department were too damn lazy to do any research and just raided Topshop.

[hatwoman]

I thought the Bob Dylan was an excellent touch

[SueBaRoomForAMincePie]

And I really want to like it, damn it. It's got bloody Richard Armitage in it!!!

[pantoinghousewife]

So you think they use the Kate Moss for Topshop line?

[SueBaRoomForAMincePie]

pedantry, of course

[LittleSleighBellasRinging]

LOL Subaroo you can join me on my sofa as we pedantically notice that Robin Hood's Saracen bow wouldn't have lasted 3 weeks in an English forest because of the damp, or wonder what the hell she is doing in culottes and how comes in such a small town like Nottingham, no-one notices this band of after all quite conspicuous looking people, what with the Hagrid-like Littlejohn and this Moorish transvestite who regularly upset the sherif and then come strolling back in again next week without anyone realising they're the usual bunch of troublemakers.

(I fight this terrible pedantry, really I do.)
