Extended Robin Hood squeeage:

Brave Sir Robin ran away, bravely brave Sir Robin ...
"Owwwww, right on my sword." Oh, Much.
Okay, seriously, where did these mercenaries come from, why, and why do they look like the AI out of Space: Above and Beyond?
BAD BLONDE GUY NO PUNCHING MUCH!
Aaand Blonde Guy turns out to be yet another one of Robin's exes. For fuck's sake, Robin, no wonder Much gets emo whenever he remembers the Crusades, if you spent the entire time shagging any blonde that crossed your path. *eyeroll*
"She speaks Latin? What a woman." Do not mess with Djaq, biatch. Little John with cutchoo!

Mmmmmanhandling.
Okay, during the scene with the secret ink? dantesvendetta, intemporaliter, thereisnomagic and I all yelled "Lemon juice!" at the TV. *facepalm* Way to go, Richard, let's use a trick every kid knows from when they're five.
Aww, Allan. All proud kitten bringing decapitated mice home and wanting praise.
Interesting, they're specifically Guy's mercenaries?

Okay, Robin and Marian kinda made me go "Aww" for a moment.
Yaaaay, John gets to be smart! "I'd have got that." "No, you wouldn't." LOVE! *waves tiny wee Much/John flag*
And Robin finally gets to show off his mad bowing skillz. About time!
Oh man, the show of strength with the door -- so utterly ridiculous and yet kinda adorable.
Okay, what was the point of the whole scene with the light? So, the light just covers the water thing in the middle if the sun is overhead, right, but why is that something to get excited about? o_O
Whoever designed this place really needs a smacking. Why the hell was there no way to open the door open from the inside, or a way to keep the door open without faffing about with sticks? What if they'd opened the door, gone in, then had the door close behind them because it hadn't occured to them to prop it open? Bad design, no cookie!
"I deserve a cut." "A cut?" *stab* Yeah, saw that coming.

Ninja!Marian strikes again!
And again, Allan's sleeping in random places. Are we going to see a canon explanation for his tirednes, do you think?
"Leave him, he's had enough, Guy!" And I continue to wonder if this is Allan protecting Marian, or protecting Guy from himself. Hm.

Yeah, this is where I first went "No! They can't kill Little John! D:" and then "... Okay, that looks really ridiculous."
Aw, Little John made a friend. :D

I love her. Love!
I like that Djaq, when first meeting her, is the only one who doesn't kneel. Because she's not her Queen.
"But you're the Queen Mother." "Less of the 'Mother', thank you." LOVE!
"So. You are Robin Hood's famous Outlaws." (Love the little noddy thing Much does here.) "It appears you have been doing most of the work for my son, King Richard." Ha! Poor Eleanor. One son imprisons her, the other's just plain useless and sends other people to come do his job. Really, kids these days.
"I should like to know you better." Someone please write me Eleanor/Djaq? Please?
Ehehe, Robin's face when he introduces Little John. Robin, are you pimping your gangmembers out to the Queen? Good boy! :D
"Big bear." LOVE!
"Are you always this odious, or have you just practised for me?" Bwahahahaha!
And then she smushes her boobs in John's face. This woman is so made of WIN!

I'm ... kind of distracted from the emo by Marian's fugly dress. WTF, costume department, WTF?

"I like the quiet ones." "Please. I'm rather enjoying myself." And LeGrand just finds the whole thing hilarious. Bwah!

Okay, why is Allan sitting around outside Marian's door, and why didn't he see/smell the smoke before Guy arrived?
Ow, that looked painful.
"This isn't a game, Marian." Well, no, that would be the point, Guy. *eyeroll*
"The way that I followed mine? And always to your door." Oh, Guy. Again with the emo poetry. D:
"Why did you put me in this position?" dantesvendetta: "But I get dizzy when i'm on top." :D

Aaand Legrand pulls a Boromir. Idiot.
thereisnomagic: "Did Robin just pull an arrow against a sword?" Yes. Yes, he did. Because Robin is a moron.
"Well come on, Big Bear." Yaye, John/Much! :D
Ahahaha the Sheriff is a biter! This amuses me so much!
And Yoda!John is back in full force, sigh.

Yaaaay, Allan! :D
Okay, seriously, nobody saw the cape hanging out of/into the well? Seriously? No one at all? Allan was right, these guards really are rubbish.
And Guy gets smacked around and threatened by the Sheriff some more. Poor boy.

Dude. I seriously hope the invitation to Acquitaine will come up in future (as opposed to, say, Eve, and Much's title) because I really want to see Little John go and take her up on that. :D

OMG Allan is all SMILEY and so is Guy and BWEEEE!
HUGGING! HUGGING!
Guy looks all jealous now, awwww.
SMOOCHES FOR GUY! Yayes!
"Stay. And make this place bearable." AWWWWWWW!
I really wish we could've seen how the whole Allan-as-the-NWM plan came about. I mean, I realise it would've ruined the tension, but dammit, I want a missing scene now or something!
My own personal theory is that Allan basically waited until Guy was a little calmer and then sat him down all "Look, I know you're pissed off, but if you let her die, you're going to regret this for the rest of your life. Now stop being an idiot and think of a way to fix this."

I was going to say something about the preview, but after seeing the one on the website, all I can think of is "Your loyalty will be rewarded."
