she who the river could not hold

I have to agree dying "for love" is the most unromantic, unrealistic and most irresponsible thing a "family show" can put on the air. It goes straight back to the heart of gni's original arguements. Maybe I don't understand this being American but do the British really believe that your only purpose as women is to act in the name of love? Your greatest achievement is to go out and let a man kill you and claim love was the reason why? Perhaps for the writers of Robin Hood this is a tragic and romantic demise. Here in the United States we call it domestic violence and it's not romantic at all. Perhaps the next time they'd like to look into using a modern concept like this they should visit a few battered spouse centers and half way houses for families broken by domestic violence and ask them how romantic they think it is. I know one group of women at a woman's shelter who have no intention of watching even if the actors do their lines stark naked on a cable channel between totally gratuitous sex scenes. So no matter how much they talk about keeping it fresh - they've lost the current subscriptions of 50 workers, volunteers, and the shelter because we've all had BBCA pulled and have each written a letter to have it removed from the U.S. air until it begins putting out responsible "Family" billed programming.
