Booby and the Beast
Robin being all self-important. Djaq loves a puzzle. Djaq/Robin vibes...
Count Friedrich is so cute and awesome.
I really like assertive asshole Guy. I mean, I don't like him, but I am stirred... I guess he seems more deliberate, less childish, more in control? (And then that in turn makes it a bigger payoff if he's reduced to begging or otherwise brought low. Especially by Marian/TNW, since Marian has to put up with him...)
WTFingH is with these costumes?!?
Djaq in that dress! Fuuuuuu!!! (And then of course she just gets waaaay sexier...)
I loooove Much in this ep. And the W/D/A. And Allan with Guy, and Guy with Allan, and Allan's general discontent...
Did I mention Much?
This ep has one of those things I really, really hate in fiction: The thing where you plan and practice to do one thing, but when the situation changes, you don't abort the mission, and then it works out ok. No, no, no. NO! Successful missions and rescues and so forth require a keen balance between playing by the book because there's a reason the book is written that way and thinking outside the box for site/mission-specific details. Of course, Robin gets to skip over this in favor of being genre-savy: "It could be the end of England! And by the way, this show is called 'Robin Hood'. It's not called 'Sheriff Vasey Wins Again'."
Also among Gisborne's greatest sins is his frequent murdering of the poor contractors on the Death Star. This seldom gets called out by fandom, that I have seen, and certainly not as often as ditching one baby. Also, it must really, really suck to be a guard. Where do they get these people?
