Robin Hood Season 3

With the end of the third series of one of my favorite shows BBC's new "Robin Hood" being just around the corner I decided to review the rest of the season as a whole.

The series began with the lackluster episode "Total Eclipse" in which the new character of Brother Tuck was introduced. His character was meant to replace the missing Will and Djac but he added neither humor nor wisdom to the gang. The whole first episode consists of Tuck trying to help Robin overcome his anger over the death of Marian which ends in Robin becoming exaclty like he was in the first series. The episode's plot was too much for it's own good and in the end me and my two siblings were bored and appalled. So what kept me watching? Guy of Gisborne of course! His guilt over the death of Marian was well played out and his performance in the episode was amazing.


The new Gang introducing Kate and Tuck.

The next three episodes in the series served the introduce Kate with Gisborne being sent away for two of the three episodes. Without Gisborne the episodes were dull beyond belief and then the worse character in the history of Robin Hood was introduced. Kate became a wannabe Marian with her feisty attitude and horrible imitation hairdos! Instead of possessing the grace and charm of Marian she was downright annoying and whiny! Much and Allen both fell for her the moment they saw her but she seemed to have eyes only for Robin!

Episode 5 "Let the Games Commence" was very well done with the reintroduction of the new Gisborne whom seems more determined than ever to capture Robin Hood. Another Character introduced is Gisborne's sister the beautiful and charming Isabella. Robin rescues her from her pursuers at the beginning of the episode and immediately falls for her. She is very unlike her brother initially, she has heart and spirit! She truly cares for Robin and the people of Locksley. For the next two episodes she shines out along with Gisborne holding the series together then along came Episode 7.


The graceful Isabella.

In episode 7 Isabella and Robin's relationship was discovered by Gisborne whom was not pleased to say the least. The episode ended with Isabella revealing how much she was really like Guy with the writers having obvious characterization problems. Within the next few episodes Robin suddenly turns to Kate and Isabella suddenly randomly turns out to be more evil than the old Sheriff of Nottingham.

Prince John is introduced in episode 6 and 7 and he is the most annoying pushy character in the series besides Kate. He is not even funny to watch, he is just bad! He gets the Sheriff and Guy to fight each other which ends in the sheriff's death. Once he leaves things do get a little better.


Evil in its most annoying form; Prince John.

Light beings to shine as a new girl Meg comes into Guy's life while he is in prison. She see's the good in him, reminding him of Marian and how he could be a better man. After that the next few episodes lead him right into becoming a better man. He and Robin discover the share a brother and reluctantly join forces to rescue him. Robin and Guy together take complete command of the show bringing it out of the Prince John and Kate dumps! They learn to trust each other leading them to save their brother and become good friends.

Their brother Archer is as good of a shot with a bow as Robin but he is a money loving scoundrel who wants to leave England forever. He does not like Gisborne and Robin because they both have nothing, having lost their titles. He learns of his rich Sheriff sister Isabella and joins her before having a change of heart to rescue his brothers and join them. He could be a great character if he didn's suffer from the same sudden characterization switch as the other new charaters.


The devious and silly Archer.

Overall the series seemed to jump fro one thing to the next. The writers seemed to not know what they wanted as they constantly changed their characters from good to bad, bad to good. The saving grace of the series was Guy whose character was flawlessly played by Richard Armitage. Evey moment of his struggles are easy the belief as we watch him transform from bad to good on screen.


The amazing Guy of Gisborne, outlawed!

The series was okay, not great. Kate was annoying and should never have been a love interest for Robin. Tuck was boring. Prince John was annoying. Archer was iffy. Isabella had potential which the writers killed. Guy was amazing. Robin was too much unaffected by Marian. Overall 3/5 stars. A low score in my book.

I don't think I've ever written such a long review but its because I can't wait until tomorrow evenings final episode in which it has been revealed that 3/4ths of the old characters will be killed off. Marian is also set to make an appearance which is what is earning most of my attention! It will be a finale that is a must see!

Psalms 142

1. I cried unto the Lord with my voice, with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.
2. I poured out my complained before him I shewed before him my trouble.
3. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path, In the ways wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.
4. I looked on my right hand, and beheld but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me: no man cared for my soul.
5. I cried unto thee, O Lord I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
6. Attend unto my cry: for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors for they are stronger than I.
7. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about: for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

I decided to open my post today with a Psalms I just read. God is my portion forever and my help through every thing I go through. Today I think about how he wants the best for my life and how he will always be there before me to lead me and guide me.

Proper Party Manners!

There are some things you should do at a party and there are somethings you shouldn't do!

-When invited to a party you should RSVP if you are planning to show up! Unexpected guests are one of the most frustrating aspects of a party so if you want to attend please make your intentions of doing so a couple days before the party and if you are unsure it's okay to decline or to say "maybe"; the classic maybe is better than silence.

-When you hear about a party in which you did not receive a formal invitation from the host of the party then do not just show up to the party anyway! Showing up to a party without an invitation adds even more stress than not RSVPing for a party! If you were not on the guest list than there were no plans to have you attend and in a dinner party with limited food you were not planned for! Showing up to parties uninvited is one of those rude things that has somehow become popular in our society today and it is rude! If you weren't invited it isn't always because you weren't wanted, some people want to limit the amount of people attending their party and you were one of the cuts made. If you feel that your not being invited was a mistake then it is customary to call the host first before showing up!

I just had to throw those two points out there, I have many more but they seemed a bit redundant so I stopped writing them!

Review: Britt Nicole has been one of my favorite artists since I first heard her song "You." She has been working on a new album for quite sometime and the first single from that album has now been released. The song is called "The Lost Get Found" and it is basically a song of encouragement. I love the songs happy vibe as it reminds me of the sunshiny fun summer that I am still waiting for. Overall 5/5 and I take this song as an indication of what is to come and I can't wait!

Psalms 73:25-28

25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.

27 Those who are far from you will perish;
you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.

28 But as for me, it is good to be near God.
I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge;
I will tell of all your deeds.

These verses have really spoken to me over my time in high school where I found myself unable to do anything without God! The greatest Hope I have is the ability to call out to him and the knowledge that He will always be there to answer me, in fact He is there before I call. Jesus is always before me and beside me and He constantly gives me the strength to endure!

"Up" review

I was going to post this at the end of the graduation photos below but I decided to make it separate!

Review:
The time has come fore me to give you a review of the Pixar movie "UP" which I saw last night with My family and Jess. What an amazing film it was, I cried three times. It was funny, sweet, and and action packed; everything a movie could want. It was a great film for families and I highly recommend it to everyone but I am going to give it 4.5/5 stars because I liked last year's Pixar flick "Wall*E" a little better (just a little though both are great). O and I saw it in 3D which I do not recommend, all it does is give the animation slightly more depth, there really aren't any (or very many) screen popping images so in terms of price see it in 2D.
