The end of the year is a time for reflection, a time to look back and appreciate those developments which have left an indelible mark in one's life. For me, that would be Robin Hood. About eight months ago, I caught an episode on BBC America whilst aimlessly flipping through channels one night, and, well... let's just say that it escalated from

I HAVE A GLOVE-REMOVING FETISH! I cannot help it. I'm just so damn preoccupied with the gloves. It's a complete and utter...fascination!
I KNOW, AND NOW YOU HAVE STARTED ME ON IT AS WELL! Like I said, my eyes jumped straight to their hands in all of there scenes, because there is just so much going on there all the time! Seriously, a hand/glove Guy/Marian spam is, like, a necessity at this point in time.
I have been so tempted alllll night to do that thing I used to do with the early season 1 scenes with the shirtless scene and just analyze it second by second and point out all the important breathing.
*coughyoushouldtotallydoitcough* I kept slipping into turning this post into one of those, actually. I was like, lala, brief exposition, highlight a few points, okay... OMG GUY MARIAN SCENE I HAVE TO POST LIKE FIFTY MILLION CAPS BECAUSE EACH IS ESSENTIAL AND SIGNIFICANT IN ITS OWN SPECIAL WAY. But anyway, yes, I think we might have to fill the dreary interim between the finale and next season (because there simply HAS to be a next season!) with over-over-over-analyzing every tidbit from this year.

You have no idea how desperately I wanted this to be a permanent fixture. But, sadly, I think it's disappeared in the more recent episodes. A damn shame, too, because I liked the idea of them both leaving marks on each other. Which seems really, really twisted of me now that I think about it.
No, seriously, I feel exactly the same way about this. But I think it's still there... maybe...? It seems to fade in and out of prominence, and sometimes it's hard to tell what might just be natural lines and shadows (and again, what a chore these past few minutes have been, closely examining various pictures of Guy's face spanning both seasons, trying to determine which is which), but if you watch the unmasking bit from 2.11 it certainly looks like traces of the scar are still on his cheekbone. I don't know, am I right? It's certainly subtle to the point where, uh, I could just be making it up. But now I kind of feel like I see it in 2.10 as well. Ah, well, what's importance is that we believe that it's there, and the world is a happier, more whole, Guy-and-Marian-bonding-over-mutually-inflicted-injuries-er place.
AND HE HAS THE SWISHY HAIR! Swishy hair is one of my biggest loves.
Guy's hair in this scene is, no lie, one of my personal favourite things the whole series over. So fluffy and emo! And come to think of it, all of my Most Attractive Guy Moments are when his hair is in some state of disarray -- after he's been doused in 2.03, and then when he's rescuing Marian in 2.06.
And I think he only had the best of intentions in this scene, and i do think his smile was about...just...how much he was truly surprised by her acceptance of him and how much he still loves her. And he messed it up.
Maybe it's just all the time spent as a Guy apologist, but I seriously got zero creepy vibes from this scene. Misguided and ill-time? Oh yes, timea a lot. But not lecherous and exploitative.
I love, love, love how easy the writers made it to believe that a LOT more happened than was shown. Oh, most perfect thing that has ever existed.
I think what you meant to say was that "This was the most perfect thing that has ever happened!" ;) Seriously, there is just no reason for Guy to phrase it that way unless much more was going on in between the scenes. And then his incredulous laugh in response to her insistence on returning to the convent only further cements my belief that he has recently received firsthand knowledge of exactly why she would be poorly suited to a nun's life of chastity.
Oh man. I honestly think she would've said yes. Just...she was so damn PROUD of him.
Oh, I know. I do wish the Sheriff would have at least given her time to answer, but then words probably couldn't have said any more than what was written all over her face.
