Couldn't live without him
It's five days since The Episode That Dares Not Speak Its Name - and the show has fallen under the axe. No Meg to run in to take the blow - because 1. they killed her already, and 2. there's no man in black on his new white horse

Absolutely agree: the problem with the short season lengths (most American shows have 22 eps in a season) is, if you don't get things off to a really good, solid start quickly (mangy lions and Lucky Charms boys ain't the solution), trying to cram it all into three or four eps makes for one rushed, confusing show.
It doesn't allow for character development or back story . . . it doesn't satisfy the true fans and it certainly isn't going to engage much of anybody new to the show. The show didn't really seem to take off this season until the lovely Ep 9 with Guy and Meg.
If you have any plans whatsoever to bring a show back, you better start planning well ahead by making the current season good and enjoyable. Which they obviously didn't care about 95 percent of the time. Otherwise, who is going to want to watch it?

Angel has one, so I don't see why not, and he is a pirate, so it's probably mandatory.
Thirteen's a long series for us - we usually only get six, and many shows I love manage perfectly well with that. This lot would have thought of twenty-two as merely an excuse for more rot.
For me, everything kicked off at ep six, which, not just on account of what may well be my favourite scene in any programme ever, but because everyone but RA within a hundred-mile radius of TS had to up their game or be blown offset and there was the Fight Scene of Awesome. Do You Love Me? and A Dangerous Deal were just something else entirely.

It's crazy, but I can't help loving it to bits.

( and if the Beeb hadn't messed around with the scheduling times it would have helped).
I do cling onto the joys of series 1 and 2 but for all that I do have series 3 to thank for the
delicious black pirate shirt in Guy's wardrobe and for the miracle that was Guy and Meg.
Let the AU fan fic begin I say. What if Marian and Guy had married, what if Meg had lived;
what if Robin ,Guy and co had won their battle and a redeemed Guy got to ride off into the sunset.............
And of course there's our VPG to play with too. Mon Captaine doux.
Not to mention the prospect of Spooks to come. Oh my Luscious Lucas.

He could make sure to have her name or a symbol that would be meaningful to her.

That's a very good idea...until he decides to entertain four rabid fangirls at once. Although he may well be vain enough to have one of himself, which would be plenty meaningful to all of us.
