Sir Guy's diary

Jul 24, 2013 17:35

Disclaimer, so no one calls the police: this is the fictional diary of Sir Guy of Gisborne from the Robin Hood BBC TV series. This season he basically has two settings: homicidal or suicidal, so please also consider this a trigger warning.

"Poison! Why, Guy: you shouldn't have!"

Egad.

Shockingly, Isabella wasn't very grateful! *shakes head*

Somehow, despite all this reforming of his character, Guy still manages to be a complete arse to his sister. He still doesn't seem to think he's ever done her the slightest wrong. Isabella is Evil, and Robin agrees, so no one worries about it. Damn writers.

Oh, Guy, you were wrong about just about everything. Ever.

He's hopeless. He can't even manage to kill his evil boss properly.

Come on! It's a BASIC SKILL, GUY.

(I don't know why that struck me as so funny, but it really did.)

Dear lord, even if Guy missed the heart, how the hell did someone in medieval times survive a wound that could be easily mistaken for being a heart injury? DOES NOT COMPUTE. Is the Sheriff actually a robot?

I think the robot explanation is as good as any. Guy stabbed him in the chest with a great big dagger. Actually, looking at it again, it looks like he got him in the sternum, and the Sheriff is wearing a lot of heavy clothing, so maybe...

...Nah, I think by rights he should be dead. :)

If there was blood, then I'm really not sure how he would be around. Even if the injury itself wasn't that bad, infection control was non-existent then and that's a chest injury. In this instance, I can't fault Guy for not being thorough. There's no defense against deus ex machina.

Actually, there was no blood (they never show any blood, because it used to air before the watershed). If they'd had Vaisey say, "I put a plank of wood in my top because I wanted to fake my own death," it might've made sense (especially given that they've faked deaths in exactly that way twice before on this show). Or if he'd only been slightly injured (he was wearing a really heavy brocade jacket thing, and Guy stabbed him whilst hanging by his fingertips from the battlements, after all), and decided to take advantage of the situation and fake his own death. But no, he said he'd been seriously injured. *eyeroll*
