I did very much enjoy RoS - I hope this review doesn't come across as though I didn't, and once I got past some of the stylistic quirks, I can easily understand why it's considered the definitive Robin Hood retelling.
And the bees were not CGI, they were horse flys. There was no CGI at the time.
Of yeah, of course there was no CGI! Silly me. It did look like some sort of bluescreen/superimposed special effect though.
Yeah, I noticed that both series ended their finale with Marion being fatally (or not so much...) injured. It feels as though our show copied the basic idea the first time and then decided to "up the game" for the second season finale.
7 Poor Knights is actually one of my favorite episodes because it shows the true nature of the cruaders and establishes the merries relationships along with Marion's value to the team because of her knowledge of "noble" goings on.
My fovourites would have to be "Alan A Dale" (I love the nod to the ballads), "The Prophecy" (with Marion's father - nice twist!), "The Children of Israel" (such a clueless Guy!) and "The King's Fool" (a good alternative look at King Richard - if only our show had done something like this!)
