I DVRed a movie on the Hallmark Movie Channel called Robin of Locksley, knowing nothing about it. Turns out it's a modern retelling of the Robin Hood legend set in high school starring all kinds of Canadian people you would recognize from other things and a young, very curly haired Joshua Jackson. Heeee. Amazingly enough, I can't find a single clip or picture of Joshua Jackson from this, even on his fan sites. But here is the "trailer" which is so wildly overblown, I can't even tell you.



HAHAHHA! Joshua Jackson plays the rich guy's son (last name Prince) who is the lead snob/bully at school (Locksley Academy). That trailer never mentions the archery club he founded, which he won't let Robin enter. And the last fifth of the movie set at a school Renaissance Faire when they are dressed up and having an archery contest.

If you watched Reaper, you'll recognize a young Tyler Labine (aka Sock) in this clip (dubbed in German). I am pretty sure I remember seeing this listed in my German tv guide, but I did not watch it at the time. Clearly my loss!


just for comparison, here is what he looked like all grown up on Reaper






Day 01 - A show that should have never been canceled
Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching
Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season)
Day 04 - Your favorite show ever
Day 05 - A show you hate
Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show

Day 07 - Least favorite episode of your favorite TV show

I really don't have a least favorite Robin of Sherwood episode. Maybe The Pretender, at least the scenes with the new queen who is supposed to be 12? Or The Cross of St Ciricus, with the Robert and Guy nonsense. Although that does have naked Will to make up for it. And then Time of the Wolf ends really unsatisfactorily, but it was not meant to be the series ender.

Much easier for X-Files (Badlaa, Hellbound), Buffy (Doublemeat Palace, Seeing Red, surely one of the season 7 episode I can't keep the names straight of) and Veronica Mars (One Angry Veronica).


Day 08 - A show everyone should watch
Day 09 - Best scene ever
Day 10 - A show you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving
Day 11 - A show that disappointed you
Day 12 - An episode you’ve watched more than 5 times
Day 13 - Favorite childhood show
Day 14 - Favorite male character
Day 15 - Favorite female character
Day 16 - Your guilty pleasure show
Day 17 - Favorite mini series
Day 18 - Favorite title sequence
Day 19 - Best TV show cast
Day 20 - Favorite kiss
Day 21 - Favorite ship
Day 22 - Favorite series finale
Day 23 - Most annoying character
Day 24 - Best quote
Day 25 - A show you plan on watching (old or new)
Day 26 - OMG WTF? Season finale
Day 27 - Best pilot episode
Day 28 - First TV show obsession
Day 29 - Current TV show obsession
Day 30 - Saddest character death

The whole movie is a goldmine of "before they were famous" clips. Totally amazing for the Pacey alone. This may be delusional, but I don't think of 1995 as *that* long ago, but seeing them use computers really really makes it clear how long ago that was. Robin is supposed to be some sort of computer genius. HILARIOUS.
