Oh RH Fandom! *embraces you all sluttily* I have missed you so.
Due to Virgin Media updating their service levels at most inconvenient time ever, I’m late to the party, but that’s okay because it means everyone else is already drunk and easy relaxed.
So, what do you say RH Fandom, come make beautiful tree!porn with me?
There are no words. NO WORDS! Just high-pitched squealing. I’m not sure I actually drew breath during the entire episode, because ROBIN HOOD IS BACK OMG OMG OMG. It’s my review and I ABUSE CAPSLOCKS IF I WANT TO, OKAY? Woosh goes the arrow! Whee goes Kat! Haha, cunning trap! “I show you my purse if you show me yours.” Oh RH, how I missed your silly innuendo. MUCH! *hugs the TV* How hot is Djaq? Like a burning sun! Snake lady is evol! Fighting! Little John is awesome… He is to RH what Bobby is to SPN! Snappy axe action from Will! And look how he’s grown! I feel slightly less like a pedo now for smexing him up. “My gang! This way!” I see it now… thousands upon thousands of icons that say “My Gang”. Um. There could be a cracky one the says “My Wang” Because… Well, because I’m really a thirteen year old girl and I find that sort of thing amusing. What’s with the wacky camera action? Why is everyone upside down? They has a secret lair! Where they will have secret lair!porn! Make it so! Oh the opening music! I may have made pretend-horse-riding gallops around the living room. It was not attractive (luckily my housemate was off in Oh I like the new credits! They are shiny! It’s a dark and stormy night in Oh Guy and the Sherrif and their homoerotic oh-so-wrong relationship… It’s not even subtext anymore; Keith Allen flat out admits it in the latest Radio Times article. Where it is also revealed that Richard Armitage surfs the web for BDSM porn about Guy. No, seriously, Richard is in your internetz, reading your bondage ficz! Oh Ricky, I will write you dirty, filthy BDSM if you want, I promise! I know how to make it good for you, baby… Um. Moving on… “Would you rather have a woman than this?” Haha, blatant! Is it me, is that sibling relationship sort of… really fucking creepy? “Men is good but a woman is better” be as it may, she gets good lines. O hai Marian, you looks pretty! Come join my gang! – oh you sweet talker you. Her and Robin’s new relationship status isn’t without problems… Oh Guy, he’s pissed! Also so hurt. I said after the season1 finale that Marian’s betrayal was the final straw and would push Guy into full-blown psychopathy. And it looks like I was right. Guy here is so much darker and angrier than he was before. Kudos for Armitage for being genuinely scary here. Oh wow, he actually torched the house! And was ridiculously sexy whilst doing it. Sheriff and his birds… AHAHAHA, HE SHOVED THE TOOTH INTO HIS OWN GUM OMG *dies from laughter* How much leather can one man wear? They must have slaughtered an entire herd of cows for Guy’s outfit. “I’m not being funny, but…” Oh Allan. Allan and Much fighting! Oh why is everyone so mean to Much? I want to smack Robin for laughing at Allan’s “You’ve always been weak” – God, that’s just… You just don’t do that to your friends. Robin is such an asshole sometimes. Also I sort of want to see some Allan/Much now, which is new. Well, mainly I just want to see Much get angry for once and fucking punch someone the next time they call him names. Allan is greedy (but also hot) and gets caught. Love Robin and Much crouched together and that little touch at the back of the neck. Ooooh, Rose is a trap. Oh Allan, using his brother’s name. Allan torture! “Chop, chop!” Hee! I love the Sheriff! “Somebody saaave maaaaaah chiiiiiiildren!” Oooooooookay, they had prosthetics in the Middle Ages? Who knew? What is this evil Cabbala Sheriff is leading? I senses conspiracy theory. “From rank to skank, to hero to zero.” LMAO Black knights! *sniggers* Is that a little star-shaped jewel in the Sheriff’s tooth? Ooh, is it wrong that I find Allan being all sweaty and beaten quite, um, hot? Suspended over a snake-pit? The Sheriff has truly embraced his Master-villain role. O HAI ROBIN’S HIPBONES! *licks* Oh my, the kink factor has certainly increased for this season… Go Marian! And still no one notices her breasts. Come on… her clothes aren’t that baggy. Ooh, Robin’s superhuman escape from the snakepit of doom. Seriously, the kink! Leather boots and cat-o-nine-tails… She!Sheriff is dying… “Pretty boy” Hee… Well, he is. Keith Allen does amazing job in that scene. Sheriff is not someone who actually knows about love and grief, not really, but it’s his sister, emphasis on his. Sheriff doesn’t take well someone meddling with things that he considers to be under his ownership. And so it’s not really love or grief that Keith Allen portrays; more like hurt and outrage of a little boy whose favourite toy has been broken. Times hundred. Marian is wearing H&M’s summer collection from 2003… “See you on the Dark Side” – cultural references wtf! OH MUCH SAVING ROBIN’S LIFE!!!! And yet Robin is such a fucking prick for him. God, this emotional rollercoaster starts again: Love Much, hate Robin for treating Much like shit, love Much more, unable but to love Robin because Much loves him, love Much with a force of a thousand burning suns, hate Robin even more for not seeing how awesome Much is… Oh Allan… He thinks that Robin knew he was in the castle. Um, now I want some Allan/Guy… Guys speech is… convincing. Because Robin, for all his heroism, really is blind for the emotional needs of his followers. Because Allan’s wish for blunder is not really about the money, but about status, both outside and within their little group. And because that’s something what Robin has always had (first as an Earl of Locksley, then as a famous hero), he just doesn’t understand what it is like to be without any standing in life. Oh Much, he can’t go on without his Master. ROBIN HOW CAN YOU BE SO BLIND JESUS. God, what did I just say? *points above* Preview of the next episode: gjlkfadjlkgfalk Djaq *re-evaluates own sexuality* Overall: I find it almost impossible to be objective about this series. Because it’s Robin Hood; it’s like crack fanfic made for telly, a show that gave us tree!porn. How can anyone not like it? It would be like… like not liking puppies. Which are generally stupid and often piss on your carpet, but omg so cute and irresistible. *sighs* Yeah. Robin Hood. Still not the height of TV drama, but more entertaining than most (though not all) things I can think of to do on a Saturday night. Fun and friendships and swordfights and laughing in the face of historical accuracy and nekkid pretty men being tied in ropes and thinly veiled political references and awesome one-liners. Robin Hood is back and I, for one, am giddy with excitement. *** P.S. I won’t be around for next Saturday because I’ll be at Connotations Slash Con
getting drunk writing porn discussing the role of fanfiction as an expression of post-post-modern feminism.
