Shame they had to kill off almost everyone but left Kate alive. I found Robin's death and reunion with Marian pretty sappy, though. "I'd like to be a pessimist, but this is a luxury I cannot afford."

So they killed off Robin and he went into the light with his beloved Marian? ;-) Details please.

So they killed off Robin and he went into the light with his beloved Marian? ;-) Details please. Spoiler [+] That's pretty much it. First, they allowed Allan-a-Dale to be disgraced by Isabella, only to have him shot by the Sheriff's men (yep, Keith Allen was back and alive) before he could redeem himself by warning the gang that the Sheriff was back with an army. Then, in episode 13, all hell broke loose. Guy gave Isabella a vial of poison so she could take the honorable way out, but she instead seduced and killed her prison guard, stabbed him with his own knife, and then used the poison to coat the knife blade, which she used on both Guy and Robin. Meanwhile, the Sheriff ran Guy through with his sword in much the same way that Guy ran Marian through. Isabella and the Sheriff use the escape tunnel and may or may not have been trapped and killed, since Robin brings down the entire castle with some extremely flammable stuff (not the Greek fire/gunpowder of series 1) provided by Archer. Robin wasn't stabbed, though, only cut, so the poison worked slowly enough to give him time to make his farewells to the gang and go off into the woods to die alone. Marian, looking more radiant than she ever did when alive comes to bring him into the afterlife. Very misty à la about 20 previous such scenes.

Oddly, I could imagine another series without Jonas Armstrong, but not another one without Richard Armitage. I wasn't a big fan of Kate. I'm tired of the adjective "feisty" being a substitute for character. But that's more a comment on the writing than the acting. [By the way, were any of this season's producers a writer/producer like Minghella was?] David Harewood's Tuck, I like. He was given some dopey lines, but he did the best he could. And aside from Little John, he was the only adult in that gang. Allen

The BBC will not be producing a fourth series. It would all be rather pointless with all the main players gone. I would not have minded a series built around the Archer character and set in the same period, but I would want it to stand on its own without attempting to channel the Robin Hood legends.

No big loss. Maybe next time we get a Robin Hood series it'll be something worthy of the subject. I'm looking forward to the movie.
