Heroes - 2x07 and Robin Hood 1-4
Nov. 20th, 2007 11:08 pmCatching up on my TV now that I'm back home.
( Heroes: 2x07 )
Robin Hood: 1x01-1x04
This is cute. I don't have much to say beyond that. It goes for a bit of drama and succeeds moderately at achieving it, but the show can't really reach any depth because it's too busy being likeable... not unlike Robin himself. Nevertheless, it IS likeable and I do like it.
I know I've got a season and a half to go, but I have a secret hope that if they ever do an episode about Robin attending jousts, that they will borrow a bit from the novel Ivanhoe, of which Robin Hood was a supporting character. I would particularly love to see Rebecca on screen. I can easily imagine it being made into a two-parter; the first with the jousting celebration and the highway kidnapping, and the second half with Robin leading the castle raid and the huge battle.
Somehow, though, while I've no doubt the jousting and disguises will come into play, Ivanhoe and Rebecca probably won't be in it.
