trinsyIt is a sad, sad day for BBC's Robin Hood when my three favorite characters are the Gisbourne siblings. And then Robin is dying, and not only am I not as upset about that as I am about Guy, but all I can think as everyone cries and demands, "HOW CAN WE GO ON WITHOUT YOU?!?" is, "Dudes, chill, he's not that cool. You'll be fine." And it's sad, because for the first two series, Robin was that cool. Like, if he had died at the end of series two, his gang freaking out would have been totally understandable. But then they turned him into a total asshole so it's like, I don't even care that he's dead. I'm glad he's dead. It's seriously no wonder they didn't renew the show. Should have stopped after series two.
How I Like To Think The Story Ends: A few days after Robin dies, the gang goes to sort through the rubble of Nottingham, and Kate is killed slowly and painfully in a freak fire. For a few minutes the gang freaks out, but her death lifts the evil spell she'd cast over them, and then they're like, "WTF, why did we even like her?" And then they all move on with their lives.
Since Nottingham has been destroyed, there's not much for them to do. Tuck, channeling the spirit of Gandhi like eight hundred years early, starts a monastery based on the principles of peaceful protest. Whatever. Little John goes off to find Alice and little Little John, promising to return if things start to get bad again. He lives a very happy and fulfilling life.
Archer and Much eventually get together. There's some angst at first, of course, because Archer is still a little rough around the edges, plus there's the awkward first time when Much accidentally says Robin's name, which sort of ruins it for a while. But eventually they push past it, and Much realizes that Archer appreciates him more than Robin ever did, and Archer is no longer alone in the world, and it's awesome.
Richard finally gets his ass in gear and comes back, and is all upset to find out that Robin is dead, and feels super super guilty, because he should. He finds out Archer is Robin's younger brother, so he gives him Locksley, and then makes him the Sheriff of Nottingham once it's rebuilt. Archer and Much live long and happy lives together, helping the poor and being an adorable couple. Also, sometimes Will and Djaq come to visit them with their eight adorable children. THE END.
Seriously, BBC. Do it right!
