I’ve been watching episodes of Robin Hood while I try to shake this cold that’s been plaguing me for days. So here’s some tragic Guy:
“You know the worst crime a man can commit? Betrayal”
“You have been constantly in my thoughts. Without you, I no longer feel quite whole.”
“We should be spending more time together, so that we can understand each other better. I want to know you.”
“So tired. Every time I close my eyes, they come…demons. Clawing at my brain. How can I get some peace?”
“Do it! End it, please!…I live in Hell.”
“I loved her as you loved her! I’ll never ask for your forgiveness. I can’t forgive myself.”

Not a great Robin Hood fan, as you know. But Guy suffers so well… 😀

I’ve been meaning to comment on this post, which captures the essence of Guy as tragic lover.

But then looking at makes me sad and I can’t think of anything to say.

that pic with the knife to his face “do it! end it, please!” just reaches something deep inside of me.

You know how on one of the Twilight DVDs you can choose either the Jacob or the Edward bits and just watch those? I wish I could do that with Robin Hood so I could skip all the idiocy of the Merry Men.
It makes me irrationally angry that a show that was technically for little kids glorifies such a dysfunctional relationship as Robin and Marian’s. He’s always such a bag of dicks towards her.

as much as I like how they turn the generally accepted assumptions on their heads ( who is “good” and who is “bad”) I agree that any lessons that could have been learned regarding Robin and Marian were wasted.
I think we need a “team John” choice for Sparkhouse too 😉
