***Guy is kind of like an expanded version of s3 Doctor Who. The Doctor went dark that season, but even when he was inflicting horrible punishments on people...I couldn't help thinking he just needed a hug. The poor heartbroken man was so alone and he lashed out at the world in some really iffy ways, and the Doctor's moral compass is a lot more reliable than Guy's (The Doctor's sometimes takes a while to remember to return to north, but Guy's has been demagnetized entirely so it's basically useless except the rare time he realizes it points at Marian, and I'm not sure this is a great metaphor so moving on)***
LOL. You're so funny, I kept visualizing a compass whirling around and around and... and I AGREE with you re: THE DOCTOR. He was very much THE LONELY GOD that season. Guy DOES occasionally do something NON-Marian related that still suggests something going on. Ex. 2x3. Sherry told him to off the kids. He could/ would not. No Marian around. (Though perhaps he knew how she'd react if she heard...So she's his "North?")
***Actually...if I can find wiggle room in what I remember of whether Guy left Seth there or not, I think it suddenly becomes a lot easier to work with.....Actually come to think of it it's not unreasonable that he didn't, because as I recall Seth was still warm as if he hadn't been there too long, but Guy had been back in Locksley so as to chase after the Outlaws when they stole the horses, so there probably is wiggle room to be found.***
Exactly what I was wondering...Everyone always trots this out as evidence of guys total wickedness, but was it really? No angel, to be sure, BUT....Seth is warm, Guy is behind the soldiers, then rides into the forest, is smacked by a small branch (poor Richard), and (still) smirks into uncharacteristically bright lights in mid-forest. Cut to opening credits.
***I will probably need to start rewatching things as I get up to show time, for quotes, to make sure I remember the plots correctly as in what order Guy knew and did what. But making sure to watch it from his perspective this time and not just a fan looking for reasons to forgive him like I did last time.
Yes! I did that with 3x10,11,12,13 (parts thereof) just to make sure I was on track with the Gizzies, re: the little things - eye movements, etc. (And, let it be said yet again, while rewatching - Malcolm is a total and utter prick! But there you go...We all got that on the FIRST go-round, I'm sure. Good Luck! Can't wait to read! (Enjoy the icecream.;-)
