I stopped paying much attention to Robin after 1x08

Really? Why?

I don't think he could. He carried grudges, IMO.

[roh-wyn.livejournal.com]

Because of Djaq, and because he put his pissing contest with Gisborne ahead of her life and safety.

Up until that point, I really bought into Robin's message of love and charity. But in that episode, it became clear to me that Robin was just a good soldier for King Richard, and I was done with him. Djaq forgave him, but I'm not sure I could. ;)

(Yes, I'm maybe just a bit over-invested in this fandom, lol!)

[alesh101.livejournal.com]

Ah yes. I recall now. No offense to Djaq, but my shallowness at Guy being tied to a tree comes out regarding that ep.

Don't feel bad for not forgiving. I still haven't forgiven Robin his treatment of Much (like 90% of the time), the gang's treatment of Allan, or even Marian's treatment of Guy.

[roh-wyn.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. What Robin says to Much in 1x13 is unforgivable, IMO. I don't care what his state of mind was at the time...you just don't talk to Much like that. Ever.

The gang's treatment of Allan...eh, that's a harder one for me. I still haven't watched the episode where Allan dies (refuse to see it on principle), so I don't know how/why the gang turned on him there. But in S2, he sort of earned their reproach, IMO...esp. Djaq and Will who were his BFFs. It wasn't Allan's finest moment, in a life that had many not-fine moments.

Marian's treatment of Guy is another issue I'm sort of on the fence about. She does sort of manipulate and mislead him, but (a) she's a spy, and that's what spies do, and (b) Gisborne does make it so very easy...by being blind and naive where Marian is concerned. Don't you just want to hit him upside the head and tell him to just wake the heck up sometimes!?

Robin's treatment of Much is bad from the beginning, but it led to Much's confession in the Barn Scene of Ick, which I thought was one of the most powerful moments of the entire show.

I can tell you what happened, if you want, without the visuals. In my mind, Will/Djaq forgave Allan when he went to the Holy Land with them. It's a lot of time to spend not talking to him on ship.

You make valid points, I just hate watching a woman lead someone so obviously starved (deprived if you like) for even a scrap of affection on that way. I can't help but think there might have been a better way. I have hollered myself hoarse at Guy's denseness many times. I have few illusions about him.

I buy that, or at least I think he reached some sort of detente with them on that journey. I'm pretty sure Djaq forgave him instantly, but I don't think Will is the forgiving kind. But he probably remembers that Allan saved his life once, and Will got the girl, so he's probably feeling generous. (I do wonder how Allan felt about the whole Will/Djaq thing...had to have been a bit of a blow for him, the poor guy).

OMG, I just realized you don't do non-capslock rewatch with us, do you? You need to join. We're up to 2x05 so far.

[alesh101.livejournal.com]

I think it was a blow for Allan, because he did lose the two most important people in his life, and for what? A little jingle in his pockets? A little prestige? I doubt he'd have been any happier with it than Guy was deep-down. There's too much selling of the soul involved in that mess.

But I also think Allan would have believed himself not good enough for Djaq, and that he deserved Will's scorn anyway.

I haven't done any rewatches so far, but I would like to. I may come in on 2x06.

[roh-wyn.livejournal.com]

The recap post for 2x06 goes up on Sunday, so yes, definitely join us. We have a nice contingent of Gisborne fans already, so you'll fit right in. ;)
