Great that it has started now!
ReplyDelete''I knew that'', Much always says that :)
Yep, good for Robin Hood fans, who are in want of a less violent Robin Hood. I mean, there is not much sight of really big violence(which is different in some other Robin Hoods, like the 2010 one).
I too thought the characters were really introduced good and everyone steadily changed a lot.
Robin Hood Watch-Along, we're ready for ye! ;)
Thanks for your enthusiasm Ruth!
DeleteMuch, He does say that ALL THE TIME. :)
It is, I'm not sure if this is my second, or third, favorite Robin Hood, you get to know the characters a lot. :)
I actually mentioned that because it was you who said that Marian was first holding a bow when we see her, so I started paying more attention.
Yes! I am hoping that it will be fun!
I watched this ep and a handful of others a couple years ago -- they were fun! I'd like to see the whole series some day... in that mystical future when I have more time, hee.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, nice recap! I'm sure you're going to have such fun with this watch-along. When I recognize eps I've seen, I'll try to pop in and comment.
Oh cool! This episode is sort of a cool one. It is kind of a fun show to watch. :) The whole series is fun, my favorite season is 1.
DeleteThank you! Yes, I haven't seen it for a while, so it will be fun for a refresher! I hope to see you for a few other episodes! :)
Maid Marian is so pretty in this version!
ReplyDeleteYes, she is! And the actress does a great job of playing her!
Delete(Yikes! Sorry I am late!)
ReplyDeleteI have been really looking forward to this week. I have two episodes to watch today in order to catch up, but I'm excited! :D
You are not late at all!
DeleteI am really excited to hear what you think about it! Don't worry, two episodes are not a lot, one day I watched four episodes! :/ That was a little too much. :)
