A view of greatness to come..., 29 May 2006
Author: ewok from Sweden
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
As a double episode it is kind of poor and out of the four double episodes I would rate this as the third. The problem with this, is the same as the problem with the entire first season. The action is kind of weak and enemy soldiers rarely get killed. The silver arrow isn't the best prop either.
However, in this episode Michael Praed makes his first appearance as Robin of Loxley. He is as charming and gloomy as he is through the entire series. Mark Ryan is really great as the silent Nasir. My favorite however is Robert Addie as Gisburne. The entire cast is great, but these three really stands in front of the others.
There are three reasons that the series is so great. 1 The cast is magnificent. 2 The environment at which the series takes place in. 3 The mysticism that was brought to the Robin Hood legend. The magic wasn't tacky as in other series that gone this route. It was mystical and some times at the verge of scary.
All these three elements were present in the first episode and that was what made this episode great.

Bad story, bad acting, bad action!, 30 August 2007
Author: ejs_lars from Denmark
I don't get it! Why on earth so many rate this episode and the series as a whole so high. Maybe because I didn't grow up with this version of the Robin Hood legend, living in Denmark. I was first fascinated by the book of Howard Pyle and later "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1955) series when a neighbour got TV. It was about social justice and injustice, rebellion and brave fighting, taking from the rich and giving to the poor, comradeship, loyalty and patriotism and not least: Humour and never forgetting the joy of life! The mood in this episode is rather dark, mysterious and loaded with the weight of destiny. I could live with that as such, but then accompanied with bad acting, laughable, clumsy fighting and a lame plot, I had to give up!
