Oh, the plan was DEVIOUS. The outlaws had all made their way to the Holy Land, all in the name of protecting their poor King from the big bad Sheriff. Didn't they know that I always account for every possibility? I had a Saracen spy all of my own, Nasir, pretending to be a messenger from Prince Saladin, offering what King Richard always wanted - peace. The prince, you see, would meet man-to-man, unarmed, with King Richard in the desert. But instead of a peace offering from Prince Saladin, King Richard would get a knife in his throat from my man Karim. And there was a twist that was simply genius: I employed Nasir to tell the King that someone was out to kill him. But, wait for it, the treasonous assassin was not one of the Black Knights. It was his most "loyal servant," a man he'd trust with his life who travels with a Saracen woman. Yes, his would-be killer was Robin Hood! Brilliant, I know. This way, I would trick the King into getting rid of his
own beloved Robin Hood and then, when he least expected it, my assassins would strike him down.
It seems our pretty little leper Marian tried another means to kill me. She recruited poor sad Gisborne to come into my chamber and murder me. She said she'd vouch for him with the King so that Gisborne would still be awarded absolute power. But Gisborne, in a display of loyalty, chose my side. Perhaps I'd taught my little Gizzy well after all. Gisborne asked for my blessing to marry Marian. Come again? Well, he added, he'd return Marian to England, taking her by force. (Hmmm, in that case, I'd sing at his wedding!) But no so fast, Lady Marian. She tried to kill me...TWICE. You think I'd let that pass? A clue... I paid Marian a little visit and informed her that Robin did not die in Nottingham. All the better for her: now she and her outlaw love could die together.
So my Black Knight friend and I brought the little leper lady into the desert, where Robin and his outlaws were rotting out in the sun. I informed them of my plans to kill King Richard. What did I care - they were soon to be a feast for the vultures. Oh, they thought they could put a spy in my camp? Hah! Thought Robin's little bride could make attempts on my life? Ha-HAH! I bid my friends so long. I had a King to kill...
Robin Hood always messes up my sense of theater. The meeting was to have taken place in the desert, but instead of the King emerging, it was Hood! There was no way I'd let him stop me from achieving my goal. I took to the streets of the city. By the way, did you hear that I ran into my old friend Carter? Funny who you meet during travel! Apparently, he's now working for the King! Well, he was, when he was alive. (Bye bye Blondie!) After some running about, I finally had a clear shot at the King on horseback. I took it and shouted, "Long live the King!" He fell from his horse and was badly injured. The King had fallen from his high horse...quite literally, in fact. It was as satisfying as I'd always dreamed. Guy had the opportunity to finish him off, but little leper Marian decided to stand in the way. Not again, I thought. Her little leper charms would seduce him, but, much to my surprise, he drew his sword and sliced her right down the middle. I
confess, I didn't think Gizzy had it in him!
My pleasure was short-lived; Robin and the outlaws showed up, and we had to make a quick escape. So close to victory, only to have Hood and his gang rip it from my hands! Once again! Will luck always be on their side? I feel the fortunes changing, though. Before we departed, I left the outlaws a message that will be my rallying cry: IT'S NOT OVER HOOD! WE WILL HAVE ENGLAND!

It has been posted at BBC that RH3 will start on March 28 so let's hope the BBCA will show it shortly there after. But please don't hold your breaths because it may be Sept. before the US sees it.
I don't think they should leave Robin without Marian and let Gisborn get away with this. I hope it is resolved well and that Gisborn is separated from the Sheriff, and that the inuendo that the Sheriff has a crush on Gisborn is either played out or discontinued. I saw the show both times it was on and was so upset that the season should end this way. I hope that it is a bad dream and that there is a better way to do it. I do like the show and the take they have on the reality of the times.
marian should not have died and if jonas does not play robin they might as well just end the series!
Sir guy in this whole story is a sexy decoy for Marion. He is absolutely gorgeous.
I have been thinking about the last episode. It is morally wrong to have her die. The producers just sent a message that when good verses evil,that evil will win.I believe that is why the audience is having a hard time accepting it. Myself, I would fix this mess with dream sequence of Robin Hood and re shoot the end of the season finale.
I CANT BELIEVE JONAS IS LEAVING!!! I WISH HE WOULD STAY!!! HE IS SUCH A TALENTED ACTOR AND I LOVE THAT SHOW!!!
MARIAN DEAD IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT I LOVE SIR GUY!!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT THAT MARIAN WAS GOING TO LEAVE ROBING AND GO WITH GUY BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. HE HAD TO SLICE HER TO RIBBONS!!!!!
Can't tell me Sheriff doesn't have a man-crush on Gisborne. Still, I do believe it's time to turn the telly's off if this is the way the fans are to be treated - to insult our collective intelligence like this is simply obscene. Does no-one listen to the outcry?! And what's this about Armstrong leaving?!
I KNOW WHY DID HE KILL MARIAN! THIS HAS TO BE A DREAM!):0
I can't believe Gisborne killed Marian either. I felt the chemistry between them was stronger than it ever was between Marian and Robin!
