The Time of the Wolf
BBC Series Robin Hood
We recognize the leader guy in this from the previous Cromm Cruac episode. He's also Riff Raff from the Rocky Horror Picture Show!! The Sherrif is upset because he's ordered to give 200 men and grain for a Wales attack. In the meantime Wickham is under attack by wolves, and Edward's son is off romping with Robin etc. The Sherrif shows up in Wickham, taking all their grain.
We've got a lot of Marion - Robin love going on here, with a "promise me we'll never be parted". We've also got the arch-evil Riff Raff with his horde of candles. Robin and Marion decide they're going to get married. Next thing you know, the grain is stolen, the Sherrif turns on Gisbourne, Guy takes off and the Sheriff swears to slay him. Next thing you know, Guy has joined up with the Fenris crew.
In no time at all, Robin and his friends are captured because, of course, the kids were used as bait.
A fake Robin is constructed by the bad guy, meant to terrorize the villages. Really he is Robin with fake yellow teeth :) Soon the Sherrif is captured too. The 'Evil' Robin kills Riff Raff, then faces Hern. Now it's Robin (good) vs Robin (evil). The good Robin wins - but for some bizarre reason strips the evil Robin so now he looks like the "Good Robin". Marion promptly finds the dead Robin and in a classic Romeo and Juliet moment believes that HER Robin is dead.
Now the Sherrif finds the body and thinks he's all set. However, as he brings the body in for showing off, it starts to turn back to clay. In the meantime, Marion has turned into a nun!! As if that can be done in 12 hours?? Now she doesn't have the strength to be his wife? Surely if The Sound of Music has taught us anything, it's that becoming a nun can never be about "hiding from something" - it can only be about embracing something. I find this whole thing ridiculous.
It seems that Marion got tired of the series and was bowing out. Since this is the end of the series, it apparently didn't survive her departure. I just wish the series ended on a better note. It was very hokey and disappointing.
