These titles are so perfect.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love the new header!!! :D
Oh yes they are!
DeleteThank you! Olivia at Meanwhile in Rivendell... made it! :D
Prince John gets meaner and meaner.
ReplyDeleteThere is a big drought and the people barely have water. So, prince John has quite a lot of water, instead of giving it free, the people must may a lot of money to have some water. They don't have the water, so there is a quarrel and one guy gets drowned, which is not fun.
Robin and the gang tries to save the people. They are searching for the water, but with no luck. Eventually they find and all the water goes back to the rivers.
The scenes with Robin and Isabella waren't fun at all. Ugh. NO. NEVER. Marian. I wish she was here. Yes, I WISH.
Prince John! What is wrong with him!?
DeletePeople are so close to dying or thirst and Prince John has all the water, but won't give it to anyone!!!! Except if they pay!! That part were the man gets drowned is not fun at all! That was so mean of Prince John!
I am so glad that they fixed it, I was really worried about those people. And Prince John's greediness was reveiled to everyone!!
Noo!!! Why did they have to do that? Isabella is bad, not good. I, too, wish Marian was here. :'(
Thanks for chatting!
Oh yes, this episode made me so mad!! Robin in the well with Isabella, and Isabella talking on and on about her dream. I mean, she can have dreams, of course. But when Robin says he can't have another dream again, she shouldn't be so mad and turn against him. You don't do that.
ReplyDelete'I'm not her.' Yes, that's true, Isabella. You're not Marian, and you never will be. Marian is far nicer, and braver, and better. And Kate being so dumb to get herself inprisoned(why does she always get in trouble? It's always Kate who gets in trouble) And then the water that finally came, after they gave up hope. Happy day! And Robin giving Isabella the strawberries, while he could have given it to the poor, who have much more need for it. The part where Eleanor says that they called their son Robin and Robin like:
'I'm honored.'
'No, there was a little robin sitting on his crib when he was born.' Allan had to laugh. Yeah, Robin looked a bit foolish when he just assumed that they called the boy after him. But that was the truth, she just joked :)
I, too, was so mad with this episode! I was yelling at the screen I was so mad! I wish Robin had just told Isabella what he had told her earlier, basically "Be quiet, Isabella!"
DeleteIsabella is mean, evil, selfish, and greedy. Marian is kind, loving, gentle, brave, a leader. Isabella is NOTHING like Marian. And Kate is just annoying. She always gets herself caught then says that she can take care of herself, if she could take care of herself she wouldn't have gotten caught!
Why did Robin give Isabella strawberries!? They had water in them and they could have helped people who didn't have an endless supply of water!! Marian wouldn't have accepted, she would have given it to someone in need!
I was laughing with Allan, Robin was silly to just assume it even though it was true. :)
Sorry, I commented before I was ready ;) That part where Robin sees Eleanor and Jack with the baby, and thinks back of Marian. When he was in the well, I think he thought of Marian too, when Isabella was talking about a happy future. I truly believe that he was thinking of her, and the life they could have had together. I just wanted to mention that.
ReplyDeleteI do that all the time. ;)
DeleteThat is the big thing with the music in this episode is that whenever Isabella is talking about her dream, or Robin sees the couple with the baby, special music plays. Do you remember that whenever Marian was in a part, then her theme song played? It was playing all the time in this episode!!!
Thanks for posting a couple of comments! ;)
Yes, I remember. They even called it: ''Marian's Theme'' And I love the theme song, it is one of my favourites.
DeleteThen I mean, Marian's Theme Song ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Marian! She is the best! Oh yes, the music is so fabulous in Robin Hood BBC! My sisters don't like it *gasps* but they will. :)
