Well there’s a variety of things about the season that need work, and my responses cover a range of specificity. I’m also assuming by this question I don’t get to go back and not kill Marian to start with. -Give Kate better characterization, a reason to be with the gang, some actually developed character traits, etc. I don’t have as much issue with the braid as most people but I’d still get rid of it. -Not have Robin involved with anyone so soon after Marian’s death, as much as I liked the Robin/Izzy screwed up relationship, I think it would be better if Robin at most was flirty with women that year. -Better arc out Isabella’s turn to the dark side, I don’t so much have a problem with the fact that it happened but it needed to not cause whiplash *within* episodes where she was on it. -Remember Allan’s former ties with Guy and Vasey, do more to establish how his character grew from the experience and to add more tension to the scenes involving him with his former allies. -Either let the 2x12 barn stuff serve to get the Robin-Much dynamic back on track or, if it didn’t work with their other character arcs, spend the season addressing and repairing that friendship. -Give Tuck better character development and an actual story arc. -Either have Vasey reappear earlier or not give away that he was still alive, the way they did do it was the exact wrong way imo. -Not write Guy out of those two episodes. Also, smooth out Guy’s character arc over the season, it was good but a bit spotty. -Not use Archer to force Guy and Robin into an alliance, either find a better reason or have them working separately at first only to join up later (aka the Nightwatchman-Guy scenario). -More Prince John. -Not kill of almost every character I really liked in the finale.
I think one of us needs to get a tinfoil hat because this is totally what I have been thinking.
