Movie/Series Review: Robin Hood BBC: Season 3, Episode 10: "Bad Blood"

Heyo!
Here we are for one of my least favorite episode of all of Robin Hood BBC, season 3, episode 10.
"Whoa, whoa, what are you doing?" I'm writing a review, can't you see that?
"I have better things to do with my day." That is NOT true, blogging is very fun.
"You really sure you want to do this now?" Well, I was actually hoping to have it out a few days ago, but now will have to do.
Enough talking to myself through quotes.
