For my sins, last night I watched the double-length season finale episode(s) of Robin Hood (I can't help thinking of it as 'Robin Hoodie') and boy was it a pile of steaming kack! I mean, even more so than the rest of the season, which has only been enlivened by all the innuendo directed at Gisbourne's leather-clad arse and his 'boy' Alan's poor impressions of his top boss.

I whimpered when they all played the let's-all-tell-the-truth business - it was like every bad fanfic where 'Truth or Dare' gets pulled in as an excuse to have the characters talk about Their Feelings. And then there was the obligatory wedding. Meh. In fact the whole episode was like one long bad fanfic. However, I admit I cheered when Marian died. A lot.

Bah, and indeed humbug! :P



Also, why on earth would anyone think we need yet another version of Sense and Sensibility?

I loved the ease in which they seemed to travel from England to the Holy Land. I didn't know they had budget airlines in those days.

Oh yes, the 'let's just pop down to Portsmouth and jump on a boat' thing - hey, it's only 190 miles after all, travelling in the world's slowest (iron-clad) coach shouldn't take more than a couple of months, but suddenly everyone's in the Holy Land? Pfft.

I guess it's in the fine tradition of Robin Hood, with the whole Dover to Nottingham via Hadrian's Wall business from the Costner movie...
