This is an excellent analysis, which I added to my memories! I actually rather morbidly liked that their story ended this way. I always respect narratives that end tragically or with a hint of gloom, said usually have a certain way about them, and consequently are more affecting even years later. I was deliberating whether or not to buy the Robin Hood series 1 & 2 DVDs, after the finale I can safely say I will buy them without hesitation!

I loved the inherent irony that the one thing Guy truly loved and believed could save him, would be the one thing that sent him on the road to total self-destruction.
