Conversely, we know nothing about Much's family but he had one of the most distinctive personalities.
Actually, Much actually says in the first or second episode that he has no family. He was likely taken in as an orphan at an early age to be Robin's servant/companion and was probably raised and educated at nearly the same level as Robin, only with a decided class... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Grammar Hammer) http://theblueboarinnrobinhooddiscussions.yuku.com/sreply/205 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 20:42:57 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: BBC Robin Hood Reviewed ]]> http://theblueboarinnrobinhooddiscussions.yuku.com/reply/204/t/BBC-Robin-Hood-Reviewed.html#reply-204 feeds@yuku.com (WoodsyLadyM) http://theblueboarinnrobinhooddiscussions.yuku.com/sreply/204 Tue, 06 Nov 2007 12:00:38 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: BBC Robin Hood Reviewed ]]> http://theblueboarinnrobinhooddiscussions.yuku.com/reply/203/t/BBC-Robin-Hood-Reviewed.html#reply-203

I gather Will gets angry in the latest episode. I haven't seen it yet, and so I don't know if that's a personality or responding to immediate circumstances. But in the whole first season, I didn't see much personality from Will.

You also got a lot of backstory in Robin of Sherwood right from the beginning. You know about Robin's father, Much, and Will Scarlet's background, etc., all in the first two-part episode.
Absolutely! You actually got an origin there!

You wouldn't be far wrong. So far, in series 2, we've seen latex-based makeup (Ep. 1), a German dressed in Biedermeier style (Ep. 2), and modern photorealist portraiture (Ep. 4), as well as Marian in a variety of Madonna-like corsets.

The legend must continue to evolve, the trend continues for Robin Hood to be aimed at children alongside the BBC's successful output like Dr Who, but they seem to maintain very little respect for the roots of the medieval legend. The series dumbs right down on what I expect 'modern children' would describe as 'booooring historical detail!!!'.

If you want to see people who are way overly invested in the current Robin Hood, you should check out the IMDb boards. (And yes, I do post there as poordogabone-1.) Those folks seem to think somehow that television is real life.

It hope it doesn't come as too cruel, but well I honestly didn't like the first series. I had to get this out of the way, because I really haven't updated my site since the new series premiered. It probably would have been too strange just to continue ignoring the new show.
