Robin Hood double length finale intant reactions — spoilers behind the cut. Warning: Incoherent rambling ahead.
Oh Much. He tries so hard, and then things go wrong and they end up besieged in a barn. Poor boy. *pats him*
… Why is Djaq touching the pig? That’s not halal! Or is it okay to touch as long as she doesn’t eat it?
Oh, Marian, you’re such a bad actress.
“Are we going to kill them?” “YEAAAAH!” “Are we going to like it?” YEAAAAAH!” This is possibly the greatest chant ever. LOVE!
“Your boy is ready?” The Sheriff is so on to Guy and Allan. Hee. (Also, whee, Allan + Guy + no one else in the carriage = PORN!)
“I’m just the whipping boy round here — the packing boy.” Yeah, that wasn’t the kind of thing you want to be saying about yourself on this show, Allan dear. (Also? Farting analogy FTW!)
Muuuuch! Don’t be an idiot! D:
OH YES MARIAN GETS TO PUNCH SOMEONE AGAIN! *hearts violently* LOVE!
Aaand Guy’s bellowing for Allan again. :D
Oh, Marian. Your ninjing skills fail you again. :(
“She’s good, but I’m better.” Yeah, hi, that’s not begging to be ripped out of context at all, no sir. And that whole scene just makes me wibble like whoa. Marian! Allan! Guy! D:
Oh Christ on assorterd pastry, Guy, could you put a little more subtext in the “your loyalty will be rewarded” talk? Because I think there might be some people from undiscovered tibes in the rainforests that didn’t catch it. Possibly. *implodes from UST*
Dear Jonas Armstrong: please learn to shout, or sound like you’re shouting, without warping your voice like that? Because my vocal cords are aching just from hearing you do that. :(
Ah, so that’s how they’re setting up the Trust-or-Dare-without-the-Dare-part thing. What? Like they’d not have had them just play Truth-or-Dare if they’d not been able to find an alternative? Craps table, people!
Man, Guy really cannae miss Allan for a moment, can he? Hee.
Blah blah blah declarations of love. Meaning no offense to the shippers, but: whatever. MOVING ON!
“Can I trust you?” Oh boy. *wibbles* Dammit, Sheriff, stop interfering with my OT3!
Awww, John does love Much! :D
Poor John. :( Someone hug him please? Please? And Much! Much needs a hug too! And Robin needs a fucking punch, and to treat Much right. But at least there was a follow-up on the bad treatment of Much — way to go, BBC!
… Okay, sleeping!Guy is oddly adorable, and wow, are his dreams telling. o_O I … someone remind me the Beeb isn’t actually going to make Guy/Allan canon? Because I’m starting to think they might. Aaand then Guy’s heart gets broken and the Sheriff takes the opportunity to puts the moves on him. Poor Guy.
Oh, Allan. (I’ve a feeling I’m going to be doing that a lot tonight. Just to warn you, and all.)
Marian, what are you playing at?
Aw, stop teasing Allan, people! He gave up promises of sexings for you! (Oh, that’s what Marian’s playing at — she’s realised there’s an opening (ehehehe) for sexings and she’s taking it. Smart girl.)
I love how the Sarascens are so preoccupied with groping Allan/Will/Djaq/John that they don’t even see Much and Robin even though they’re blatantly right there. Guardly incompetence transcends borders, it seems.
Aw, Djaq introducing Will to the family. So cute.
Yay, it’s Carter! Carter is bringing sexy back! And sexy is, appartently, King of England. Richard the Lionheart is fucking hot.
DAMMIT GUY I know you’re all messed up and missing Allan but stop being an idiot and KILL THE BASTARD ALREADY goddammit. :( “But you chose me.” Ew. “I will take her by force.” DOUBLE EW! This had better be a ruse, Guy of Gisbourne, or there’s going to be WORDS!
Blah blah blah plotcakes. Stuff happens, Robin and the gang get accused of treachery and tied to stakes in the desert. Heh, looks like the Sheriff got his wish of Robin-of-a-stick after all.
Man, who needs water with all that sap around?
Hey, Allan’s got his tag back!
Oh, Much. *hugs him*
“Now, I’m not revolting.” Oh, I’m sure the gang beg to differ.
Aaand more sap. Blech. (I may be a closet romantic, but even I have my limits. Shaddup.)
And then Carter comes to the rescue, gets loved on by Much, and also very confused. Hee. Clearly a natural blonde, then.
OMG THEY MENTIONED BONCHURCH YAYE! This is clearly the episode the BBC redeems itself and actually refers back to things that’ve gone ignore for more than a season. \o/
Oh, Guy. D:
… They can’t actually seriously be killing Marian, can they? o_O Holy fuck, they did. Wow. I mean, wow. I was not expecting it to be her dying. Wow.
Aaand that’s it, pretty much. I’m somewhat disappointed that Allan’s return to the gang was pretty much fast-forwarded through / glossed over, and I can only hope there’s an Allan/Guy confrontation next season (pretty please, BBC?), but they mentioned Bonchurch, and Much got to tell Robin off, which is good. Still, next season’s gonna be weird, without Will or Djaq or Marian. :(
I’m going to skim other people’s reactions and then hit the bath and bed, now.

Re: i is catching up... still. *whimper*
And Guy just wails "Why noooot? I''ll take care of you and provide for you and stuff!"
Umm, no, you didn't. We appear to have a Conjoined Brain Thing again. ¬.¬ *hides*
\o/
("I love you." "I know.")
I wonder if Guy's conscious of what he does to his most shaggable minion?
I dunno. I think I need to re-watch the shirtless scene agaion. For, er, research, of course. <_< >_>
And that's without going for the 2 sec finger/thumbtip lick, suck, half-lidded, open-mouthed breath thing. ¬.¬
Bwahahah! Poor Allan. Though he's lucky lollis aren't invented yet. :D
From:
Re: i is catching up... still. *whimper*
And Allan's all "Stopmeifyou'veheardthisbefore, BUT! Kill the King, kill the Sheriff and then I'll... Oh fuckit, that's practically work. *SNOGS*"
("I love you." "I know.")
asdfghjkl!!! I'll have some of that plz, with a side order of "You like me because I'm a pick-pocketting, cup-scamming outlaw."
I dunno. I think I need to re-watch the shirtless scene agaion. For, er, research, of course.
And you wouldn't be saying that because that scene promotes a general aura of requitedly shippy wellbeing? *raises eyebrow*
Bwahahah! Poor Allan. Though he's lucky lollis aren't invented yet. :D
I'm sure Guy could think of something to do with a chicken leg that would render the non-invention of the lollipop irrelevant. *nodnod* Just for Allan. *nodnod*
From:
Re: i is catching up... still. *whimper*
And then they hear the restof the gang in the distance and Allan has to decide RIGHTNOW if he's going to stick with the gang or run off with Guy to become mercenaries.
asdfghjkl!!! I'll have some of that plz, with a side order of "You like me because I'm a pick-pocketting, cup-scamming outlaw."
OH HELLSYES HE DOES! :D
And you wouldn't be saying that because that scene promotes a general aura of requitedly shippy wellbeing? *raises eyebrow*
Who, me? Nevah! No base ulterior motives here, honest guv. This is FOR SCIENCE!
From:
Re: i is catching up... still. *whimper*
Or, and there is a third option, Allan can stick with the gang because if he doesn't, Robin'll hunt Guy down and kill him. O.O NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
OH HELLSYES HE DOES! :D
And Guy's all "O.O I like nice informants." And Allan's all "I am nice informants!" and then Winchester comes back from the grave to play gooseberry, and Allan has to follow Guy up to the stables' hayloft or he's never going to get any sexxin' before they realise Locksley Manor's been built inside a giant spaceworm.
Who, me? Nevah! No base ulterior motives here, honest guv. This is FOR SCIENCE!
Mwahahahahaha! Oh yes, science. Science is a wonderful thing and, frankly, Guy n' Allan could make more use of apples than Newton ever could. *nodnod*
From:
Re: i is catching up... still. *whimper*
I dun like this option. :( Needs moar sexing!
(! You mentioned Winchester. I have AU bunnies involving Winchester. o_O)
From:
Re: i is catching up... still. *whimper*
Ah, but it's the TYPE of sexin'. If Allan runs off to mercenary happehdom with Guy, then there won't be any chance of angsty, broken, clandestine treeporn. Or - my personal favourite - angsty, gag-removing, snogging, sexin' of the 'if I get caught rescuing you, I am so so very dead' variety.
(! You mentioned Winchester. I have AU bunnies involving Winchester. o_O)
(He's the only, actual, SW connection we've got! *clings to Winch'y tightly* Unless you count RA's blink-and-miss in Phantom Menace. *pouts* I wish Anthony Daniels n' Kenny Baker'd show up, almost as much as I want Ryan Stiles n' Colin Mochrie to show up and complete the Whose Line hitlist.)
From:
Re: i is catching up... still. *whimper*
That's true. Hm, angsty!sex or happehsex ... DILLEMA AUGH!
From:
Re: i is catching up... still. *whimper*
I have given this many, many seconds of thought and I can conclude that Angsty!sex or Happeh!sex it doesn't really affect the probability of wall!slam!snog!grope!snog!nrrrrrrrrg occuring.
What it does do is switch the italics on statements such-as: "I want you. Now." Angsty!sex = "I want you. Now." whereas Happeh!sex = "I want you. Now." *nodnod* Tis all about trusting in Guy's hard-on strangling his word emphasis.
