It screwed up my formatting..Ye...<I>Man, fuck blogger. It screwed up my formatting..</I>Yeah, it's been doing that for a while...<br /><br /><I>Guffaw aneurysm!</I>Lucky enough I was young when I first saw it, so I thought "Of course you can see her tits, she's still wearing that bloody bikini and if she didn't bend over to hear what the Doctor was saying, she'd have no idea what was going on."<br /><br />But few shared that opinion.<br /><br />(It's why watching DW on the communal TV at after-school child care can lead to interesting arguments...)<br /><br /><I>Lol. I've only seen her in two episodes and I already think that the characterization is all over the fucking place.</I>I suppose it is. I just got the idea she was SUPPOSED to be crazy, rather than Kate, who is supposed to not only be sane, but also likeable. So the script failures stuck out more with her.<br /><br /><I>Her crazy eyes do not help her appear sane.</I>Definite deliberate there. She does lots of scenes not blinking to accencuate her decay into insanity.<br /><br /><I>Dem. Could've been interesting, otherwise...</I>It might be. She's only Vasey in three scenes at the end of the episode. Depending if she stays like this or not, it could just be an unsubtle commentary on her turning bad.<br /><br /><I>Also, the sherrif-of-the-week format's a little disappointing.</I>Well, at least this seems to mark the end of that phase.<br /><br /><I>(On that subject, have you noticed the continuity errors this season with multiple characters remembering Vasey as Sherrif from 20-odd years ago when Marion's dad was Sherrif at the time Robin and Much left England? Struck me as rather blatan, that..)</I>I WAS going to complain about that, but the series' rather blurry on the time scale. Vasey came to power somewhere between 1188 and 1192 according to the first episode, and Treasure of the Nation is a year after Return of the King, but otherwise there's no real reference as to how many years pass. And in SOTF, they just say that all the events were "years" ago. It should probably be noted that Vasey would have had to have been in the social pipeline for a while to overthrow Edward, so maybe his "first execution" wasn't as Sheriff, but 'helping' Edward.<br /><br /><I>Yeah, I got that feeling. There only seem to be a limited range of names that are Olde-Englande-y enough for this series..</I>I think it might have been the name of Robin's butler in the first season who ends up working for Gizzy and then vanished but I can't swear to that.<br /><br /><I>Damnit, poor Much.</I>Yeah. At least Robin's <B>trying</B> not to upset him this year.<br /><br /><I>The one thing I want from the series is for everything to end alright for Much.</I>QFT.<br /><br /><I>My nightmare scenario is him getting killed off in the final episode. He needs to get Huntingdon for all the crap he's been through!</I>Well, when Troughton was interviewed by Big Finish (he sounds NOTHING like Much in real life), he implied he was staying on for the next year. Well, he said, "there's still more to tell". And I never noticed the way Much has stopped calling Robin "Master" altogether.<br /><br /><I>Is you on crack?</I>Nope. Dean Lenox Kelly or whatever his name is from Shameless and Shakespeare Code plays Young Robin's dad. And Robert Guisborne, Guy's dad, is a leper and forced to flee Loxley.Youth of Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08509521019229324658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075740671122268515.post-92171481682282414142009-05-31T20:33:53.251+10:002009-05-31T20:33:53.251+10:00Doctor Who's dying... but look at the tits on his ...<I>Doctor Who's dying... but look at the tits on his companion!!! I don't know what to feel!</I>Guffaw aneurysm!<br /><br /><I>Her main advantage is not her cleverness or ruthlessness, but the fact she's batshit insane and Robin has no idea how to handle her. </I>Lol. I've only seen her in two episodes and I already think that the characterization is all over the fucking place. Her crazy eyes do not help her appear sane.<br /><br /><I>and I boggle at Robin staring at her and saying, "Oh shi---" - and yes, he really does say that</I>Goodness me, the stooping from a pre-watershed show!<br /><br /><I>By the end of the episode, she's almost possessed by Vasey, posing the same way, stabbing people in the stomach the same way, and executing people at the drop of a hat.</I>Dem. Could've been interesting, otherwise...<br /><br />Also, the sherrif-of-the-week format's a <I>little</I> disappointing. It's almost like they intended to have some fun with it but are only just realising this is the last season. Or it was something they planned to bring in in the second season, but then Keith Allen was just too good to sack. I'd have liked sherrifs to get a bit of a run..<br /><br />(On that subject, have you noticed the continuity errors this season with multiple characters remembering Vasey as Sherrif from 20-odd years ago when Marion's dad was Sherrif at the time Robin and Much left England? Struck me as rather blatan, that..)<br /><br /><I>(BTW I'm sure someone else has been called Thornton in this series!)</I>Yeah, I got that feeling. There only seem to be a limited range of names that are Olde-Englande-y enough for this series..<br /><br /><I>As far as the story is concerned, her gut alpha female hatred of Izzy is entirely down to sound judge of character - and, having met Kate's mother, it makes sense she can detect such an uber-bitch.</I>Lmao. That's sound reasoning for me..<br /><br />Damnit, poor Much. The one thing I want from the series is for everything to end alright for Much. My nightmare scenario is him getting killed off in the final episode. He needs to get Huntingdon for all the crap he's been through!<br /><br /><I>When an old bloke who sounds like Peter O'Toole mysteriously appears at Robin's side, they travel back in time to discover the Untold Origin of Robin Hood! What happened to his parents? Was William Shakespeare REALLY Robin's dad? Who got the plague? Why does Gizzy keep appearing? Is leprosy genetic? And will Marion, Edward, Matilda and the Scarlet family turn up? Yes, it is the first ever Robin-lite episode! </I>Is you on crack?Jared "No Nickname" Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825668092428993308noreply@blogger.com
