Episode two rewatch time! Again, it's just notes tippytapped while watching so I can get back to procrastinating writing! Idea to rewatch comes from roh-fics.livejournal.com/ :)
Why doesn’t John know what house Alice is in? Wouldn’t she just have been in the one they were in when he was still living with her?
I've decided this is just more proof he's not from Locksley, or he would have known exactly what house she lived in. (And frankly, if he knew all along that she was in Locksley, he surely would have looked in on her and realized she had a kid long before this episode).
Oh, good question! I totally didn't pay attention last week...
There’s an odd edit there when Much turns around that I’ve never understood… was there supposed to be another scene there or something? Oh hang on, just rewound and rewatched, it cuts just before he appeals to Will too.. what is going on here? The only reason, other than some weird unexplained ‘artistic’ one, is that they’ve cut bits of the scene out or something, but I don’t know why they couldn’t have just re-shot it, it was only Sam in front of some trees, how hard could it be?Oh yes, I always notice this - strange, isn't it? I'm thinking, inline with roh_wyn's idea about the first two episodes being a bit different and a sort of pilot for the whole, whether this is related to some of the weird camera stuff from 1x01. I reckon what they've done is chopped bits of Much's please to everyone, and then cut out a second or two of the intervening turning from one to another, so that you get the impression Much is very frustrated because he's

Ah you could well be right about the Much thing, it makes sense for 1&2 to hae been a pilot thing, because (apart from finales) they are the only eps that follow on from each other like that aren't they? Gahhh I just thought of Much trying to appeal to them all and it reminded me of Allan :( This is the kind of thing I really miss in later episodes :'( meh I know... and it's not like we can even write any into series four! Brilliant review! Thank you :) I promise I'll get to reading yours I'm just struggling with s4 too much to give anything else much heed at the moment!

:'( I'm watching 3x12 and 13 tonight. I love to see him, but it breaks my heart every time :(

ETA: Oops, this was supposed to be a reply to your comment not the whole post - sorry! *lol* No worries :) I've been struggling with s4 too actually. I've mostly overhauled my Phoenician chapter, but my s4 has been lagging behind. I have five whole episodes fully written, and synopses for {mumble} more and ideas about everything else :)
Mrow... I was meant to watch 3x12 and 13 a while back for Archer research but I couldn't bring myself to do it so just watched 3x11.... watched 3x09 (I think) earlier as research too and was sad
I have.... technically I have five fully written but I would like to tweak two a little if I have time, I'm just working on the sixth now (I got stuck on it for a while but I'm pretty happy with my idea to solve it, espeically as I'm more character- than plot-based so writing eps is definately proving to be a challenge!) but I know I'll have to play with it a bit to bring it under the word limit. Have plans (some more detailed than others) for 7,8,9,11,12 and just a little teaser thing for 13 (you said we could do that, right? Just leave it all suspense-y?) so I just need something for 12!
I know what you mean, it's much too sad! :( I watched 3x10 and 11 last night, and I really adore Allan in 11. He's so so sooo sweet with John. And if you leave the DVD menu screen while you're waiting to watch it, you get to watch him fighting over and over again :D
It sounds like you're doing much better than me with s4! And yes, absolutely leaving your 13 all suspensey[1] is good! I can't decide whether or not I'll do that yet, but it's certainly in the rules :)
[1] I'll be disappointed if I find out this isn't a real word, *lol*!
