So many good reviews here, but I'd like to just add my appreciation of the story telling. The constant element is that we have a small band against large odds. Although they're highly skilled with their weapons, there are too few of them to overcome those odds without clever stratagems. Episode after episode, ingenious stratagems keep coming. But the writing keeps it real - sometimes things go horribly wrong.
The complexity of the plots is also admirable. The sub-plots that are used to get particular characters into particular places never seem contrived, as they always develop the characters as well, or reveal more back story.
The thing that really had me open-mouthed, though, was the way the new Robin was introduced into the story and into Marion's growing regard. Sheer genius.
