Casualty Report!

After the Season 2 finale, there is one thing (at least) that we fans learned.

No one is safe.

Already this season, it is pretty common knowledge that Jonas Armstrong is leaving. Which most likely means that Robin will die at the end of this season. *sigh*

So here we have Robin Hood, without Robin or Marian.

Besides Robin, here are my opinions as to who will bite the bullet this season. Not literally, but you never know with this show.

According to an article from last year, the Sheriff will die this season as well. Originally, I assumed that Robin would be the one to do the deed. However, the dynamic between Guy and the Sheriff this season has changed my opinion. I think that when Guy arrives in London, he 'befriends' Prince John, and has no use for the Sheriff anymore. I also predict that the Sheriff won't make it to finale either. I say that Guy does away with his former boss between episode 7-10. Then PJ takes over as the main baddie for the finale.

As far as Sir Guy goes... I can't seem to see how he could possibly survive this season. However, killing of Robin, The Sheriff of Nottingham, Marian, Will Scarlett (effectively), and Sir Guy of Gisbourne... Your getting pretty low on legend here. Plus, if I were the producers, I have to consider that a vast amount of the people who watch this show are RA fans, and will only watch if he continues to be a member of the cast. I predict that Sir Guy survives, simply because they can't kill everybody, and because of his legion of fans.

Next we get to gang members. Tuck is safe, because David Harewood has said that he signed on for two series. Plus he's brand new. The same probably applies to Kate as well. I doubt she'll die in her first season.

All that remain are Little John, Much, and Allan.

I'm not too worried about LJ. Gordon Kennedy said he'd be happy to do more, and I can't think of a valid reason to kill him. You hardly notice he's there anyway. Much, I could see leaving, as Sam Troughton did not ever say that he was coming back. However, some people think this has something to do with the fact that he may have been in the middle of contract negotiations during interviews, and didn't want to sound too committed. I really hope this is the case, because losing Much would be terrible.

And now we reach my greatest worry. Allan.

Since Joe Armstrong doesn't do interviews, we have absolutely nothing to go on. All I know, is that last time they introduced a new character in episode five (Djaq joined in episode 5 of season one. Guy's sister, Isabella, comes in during episode 5 this season) they first had to kill someone. Remember Roy? I'll be content if I see Allan survive through episode five. After that, I think Allan will stick around (if Joe will agree to extend his contract) for the simple reason that if they get rid of the whole original cast, you'll lose a lot of viewers.

I can say right now, that unless the new characters grow on me, I will not be watching a season four (if there is one) for them. If they want to keep this viewer, they'd better be doing everything they can to keep Sam and Joe happy, because they are the only thing keeping me around.
