She doesn't like to do as she is told. That's clear. Rather like our friend Alice . . . I think a lot of heroes prefer to do what they want. |

“Brett… How come you go by a Breton name?” “Cultural assimilation, my lord” Well, we've already had Alaric the out-of-place Visigoth, and Robert/Robin, the proud Saxon with the quintessentially Norman name . . . |

Have I missed sth.? Why is he called Robin Hood? Did they explain it? Is it his real name? Nobody really knows. Lots of ideas about it though. Just do a Google search. They could do some explaining. I agree. Be fair. They are fitting the whole Robin Hood story into just 6 episodes. Yes, this is really difficult. |

First, you'd need to find out if he was real, or just a legend. Or a symbol of hope. Well, you must have spent a lot of time contemplating that question with respect to Blake, Madam President. |

These workers need to form a union. Then they can engage in constructive negotiations with the management about pay and conditions. |

Plague, what plague? Indeed, we're about two centuries too early for villages deserted due to plague, aren't we? |

Just noticed this ep is a lot shorter than the others. Did they have to edit out something unspeakable? |

And I bet someone's filmed in that nasty hole before. Dr Who, probably.

Why is it always a mine??? Good to see the inevitable mine of so many sci-fi series has a long pedigree. |

Or maybe make-up had done some really dramatic plague victims with blood, pus etc and they had to censor it out. "You're not sulking, I hope?"
