Heartbreaking....

"...because this show was genuinely one of my favorite things in life. It had so many wonderful things, and even after the second season ended, I held out hope that the third season would work its magic to make the lack of Marian-Djaq-Will bearable. But no. The last few episodes literally had me crying--all the characters I had loved since the beginning met lackluster and pitiful ends. I felt so bad that this is how I would last remember them. The new characters weren't terrible per se; they just could not compare with shoes left behind. Isabella was God-awful, and I wishing for her death the moment I saw her on screen. Call me a traditionalist, but to see an evil, manipulative and selfish character replace the determined and righteous Marian was just too much. Tuck was promising but faded into just another prop piece with an occasional line or two. I can say though the last three minutes were my favorite part of the series, but I didn't like what I went through to get there. I really wish I hadn't seen this season, it just left me feeling empty and depressed over what became of the show."
What the heck happened?

"Okay, I admit it...I only starting watching this show because of Richard Armitage. (I bet 90% of you are the same.) Seasons 1 and 2 crackled with sexual tension between Guy and Marian. Then it died, because, um, she did. He killed her. Oops, did I give something away?
Without that tension, this series descended into a cesspool of poo. This season was just plain dumb. Okay, RA is still gorgeous, but the plots - if you could call them that - sucked. And after all that's happened, Robin Hood still seems like a goofy, hormonal teenager. Too bad, because this show was great before."
