YESSSSSSSS! Someone else who knows RoS! *fistpump* And yeah, I swear everyone who watched the show, even those strange creaures who weren't actively in love with Loxley, was absolutely *gutted* by the end of The Greatest Enemy. Those shots from the last stand where he's silhouetted up on the hill in the bloody sunset, firing his last arrow at the sky before he breaks his bow? Ooooooooh, shivers, what I wouldn't give to have a good print of that; absolutely iconic. As far as obsessive fandoms go this is one that, thanks to being so unavailable for so long, has probably even done me more damage than the doujinshi habit -- suuure, it's FINALLY available on DVDs from a US company now, but I was such a fiend that I actually mail-ordered box sets of first VHS NTSC videotapes, and later on region-free PAL DVDs, straight from the studio in England back when each was released. (And I'll probably still pick up the US DVDs one of these years just for a backup and so I have something I can loan to folks who don't have any ready means to convert PAL-NTSC or view discs with wonky region coding...)

I still haven't seen Secret Adventures because as per past comments, I tend to be very very laggy about picking up video fandoms. But I've seen an awful lot of stills from it and I must say, damn, that man is aging WELL. I'd still jump his bones in a heartbeat. ;)

This was always one of my favorite promo shots: great view of those smoldering eyes.

But yeah, after carrying that torch for twenty years, it's probably no surprise that I pretty much have a Pavlovian reaction to the sight of longish dark-chocolate hair and green eyes. XD
