lonesparkAnd in today's edition of "Competence and physics are dependent on plot necessity," aka Robin Hood, I was reminded of something someone said about Romans.
It comes in two flavors:
"Except for the horse, and the gifts, and the castle, and the land, and the adoration, and the mind-blowing sex, what has Guy ever done for you?"
Alternately,
"Except for the critical information that saves our asses, what has your presence in the castle and relationship with Guy ever done for us?"
I wouldn't mind too much if Marian was executed as a result of spying, or killed protecting the outlaws, or some such thing. That happens to spies, she does seem like someone who might be prone to heroic sacrifice when Working Within the System doesn't work out. It's just, y'know, she's a badass, so she should go out like one.
