I have no idea how I did not know of this sooner, but as some kindly soul at robinhoodbbc just brought to my attention -- Robin Hood series three finally airs in America starting this weekend! !!!! Why am I excited about this? I've already seen it all -- repeatedly -- and angsted about it all -- repeatedly. I also know there's about a 0% chance that I'm going to convince any of my American friends to finally watch it, but, you know what? Who cares. It just excites me in general to know that it will be on MY television.
And it also excites me to revisit the BBC America Robin Hood page! From the people who brought us the character playlists (including "Question of Lust" for Guy and "Shadows of the Night" for Marian, SERIOUSLY PERSON WHO MADE THIS I AM KIND OF IN LOVE WITH YOU) and Vaysey's blog (featuring gems like: "Robin Hood emerged from his hibernation - and he starts shooting people left and right. I was shocked. Robin Hood does not kill! I was so shocked, in fact, that I dropped my tooth.") (and, okay, I would say that I'm disappointed that both features have now been removed from the site, except... well... continue on, gentle reader) come new exciting extras like Hunks of Sherwood Forest (how much am I cracking up that Tuck is on there? THIIIIIS MUCH) and and and THE BEST PART EVER -- !!!!! -- JUST CHECK OUT THE VIDEO PAGE. I mean, is that one giant love-letter to Guy/Marian or IS THAT ONE GIANT LOVE-LETTER TO GUY/MARIAN? There are all of, like, two clips that actually feature Robin, and basically every single Guy/Maz Best Scene Ever is included. The "Marry me... and live!" scene has been titled "CHOOSE LIFE!" When Guy (sort of) helps Marian escape in 2.06 -- "A God Amongst Men." (Okay, I know that is part of the Sheriff's quote, but I am choosing to also attribute the choice of title to the fact that Guy is legitimately romantic in the first half of the clip.) I AM NOT EVEN EXAGGERATING WHEN I SAY THAT THIS HAS MADE MY ENTIRE DAY. And then the Armitage interview bits are, as always, amaaaaaazing and yet ruinous to my heart. Most of them are ones I've seen before, but I think some are new to me -- the one where he talks about 2.10, for instance, and how Guy asking Marian to marry him was for once not about having her as a possession but about saving her as a person who he loves -- fsdkjdejl;sadf;ljdfsalkjfal;jf;das I WILL NEVER BE OVER THEM, I WILL LOVE THEM FOREVER, OMG OMG.
