Just hand me a blunt instrument

bookish_dragonSo I can brain the scriptwriters for Robin Hood. Seriously people, that's not the way to go. Apart from the pretentious showing off by having Robin shoot the scissors in two while it was in mid-air, it was just too stupid. Was he supposed to be Robin or Nine?
And no, we don't need any quotes on how people get brainwashed when they're captured in the Holy Land. That along with a quote on how they needed to inflict harsh justice in England because of the war in the Holy Land was too much finger-pointing at the US for me. I don't know whether that was intended to be so, but that's how it read to me. I don't want political commentary on the current situation in a show that's supposed to be about an earlier time.
And Marian got on my nerves. Just spit it out and say you were hurt that a) he left to fight the good fight, and that b) he apparently didn't come back for you, just for his peasants.
Besides, King Richard did squat when he came back. He just wanted more money for the crusades. (Though I will admit that I could be wrong here, I never studied this period.)
