Episode summary
A year has passed since Robin of Loxley's death; the band of outlaws has scattered, and the people's enemies savor their triumph. Now, a Norman nobleman and Earl's son, Robert of Huntingdon, has been chosen by Herne the Hunter to continue Robin's work and lead the resistance in Sherwood. Though Huntingdon is appalled by the oppression and cruelty he witnesses daily, he is unwilling to relinquish his privileges (and responsibilities) to lead the life of a poor outcast in Sherwood. But after an ill-fated party brings Marion of Leaford to Huntingdon Castle - where she ...
Fun and viewer review
With the death of Robin of Loxley in the finale of season 2, "Robin of Sherwood" continues with Herne the Hunter summoning a new Robin Hood. This time it is Robert of Huntington, the son of an earl.
The episode begins immediately after Robin's death, when Robert goes to Herne and denies his destiny. He doesn't think he can lead Robin's men, or be accepted by them.
A year passes, and Maid Marian comes to Huntington. At the same time, Lord Owen of Clun is visiting. Owen becomes obsessed with Marian, ultimately kidnapping her to be his wife. Robert realizes he must save her and reassemble Robin's men to help him. This will not be easy after so much time has passed, though. They have gone their separate ways after a quarrel.
Jason Connery does a fine job stepping into the role of Robin Hood. He is an opposite to the previous Robin, which I think was done to keep fans from feeling like they were simply trying to replace him. Michael Praed, the original Robin, was dark haired and his character a commoner. Jason is blonde and his character the son of an earl.
"Robin of Sherwood" is one of the best takes on Robin Hood, in either TV or film. There is a deep mysticism to the Sherwood Richard Carpenter has created, and a conflict between Christianity and the more pagan religions. I hope this becomes available on DVD in the US soon!
