Also a shoutout to whoever wrote this very salty episode summary on the RH wiki.

OP, I will literally never be able to thank you enough for exposing me to this.

Robin Hood Rewatch - 3x09: A Dangerous Deal

Sigh.

I mean, where do I even start? I remember this episode being bad, but I’m astounded at how truly terrible it is. Really the most misogynistic trashfire of an episode this show ever had the misfortune to produce.

Ranting ahead. Quite a bit of it.

#robin hood bbc #isabella thornton #god THIS EPISODE #i hate so much of what happens in it and yet it's the one i remember best not just from this season but from the entire series #i love isabella's evolution and how it COULD have been explored #world's out to get her? she's apparently terrible no matter what she does? FINE. she'll be the one person on her side! screw everyone else!#insert 'good for her' meme here!#yet i despise the way all of it is framed and all the crap the writers shoved down our throats and expected us to agree with #i love meg and i think her dynamic with both isabella and guy had SO MUCH potential #but i hate the double standard her story set between guy and isabella and the ending she was given #despite having (sort of) made my peace with the fact she was never meant to be more than a one-off character and easy parallel #and then i just... hate everything about robin and kate in this one. separately and together #and tbh i have also wondered at times if my intense dislike of kate was actually some form of internalized misogyny #asking myself 'are you sure you didn't just hate her bc you assumed she was a replacement for marian with the whole robin/kate thing'#and 'don't you think you were just pitting her against isabella like there could be only one important female character' through the years #... in a way it's kind of weirdly reassuring to go back and realize that #no actually i did have some solid reasons to hate the way she was written AND framed #and those same reasons still seem pretty legit from my pov even today lol #anyway this analysis and the other one i reblogged are just spot-on #thank you for writing them op
