The “Nightwatchman” in action! – Scene 7 [Final]

It’s time for one last scene of the Nightwatchman in action!

So far, she did a really good job in helping the oppressed people of Nottingham.

She also managed to escape the bad guys, especially the evil Guy of Gisborne who wants to stop the Nightwatchman and unmask him (as he still thinks it’s a man #blind)

What will happen this time? Well, see for yourself…..

Well….what can I say? Perhaps……WOW!

I got really attached to both Marian and the Nightwatchman in their adventures over 2 seasons of this show.

And know she is trapped, pinned down by Guy, he rips off her eye mask….finally he realizes the Nightwatchman is a woman.

I guess he also realizes now that it’s his beloved Marian under the mask of his hated Nightwatchman.

He slowly yanks down the fabric that still covers her face pretty well.

Finally, the Nightwatchman is UNMASKED!

There is quite a lot I really love about this EPIC unmasking!

The fight is done quite well, and the way she reacts to her more and more desperate situation is great.

She really sells the fear very well as her face gets exposed by him.

He is so shocked that it is Marian that he runs away at first.

He stills doubts that it was her all the time, wanting the see the scar he inflicted on the vigilante.

So, as she is forced to show that scar it’s like a second unmasking …in a way.

Perhaps a “NO!” or a “STOP!” would have been nice as he was about to unmask her…but she always stay silent in his presence as she was concerned he would recognize her voice….or at least realize that the Nightwatchman IS a woman.

So, it fits quite well, that she didn’t protest as he was unmasking her.

Well….I think this is one of the most thrilling unmaskings ever made in a movie or TV show. Especially I was so into the storyline after having seen over 20 episodes with her.

Ok, the Nightwatchman should have had more appearances, but well…I posted all 7 scenes of her….so, that’s not too bad.

Spoilers about Marian’s future in the show…..

Tragically this unmasking indirectly leads to Marian’s death just 2 episodes later as Gisborne is now really enraged.

At the end of season 1, she was already presumed dead. The producer loved the strong reaction of the audience as I saw in the bonus material on the Blu-ray set.

So they came up with the idea to “top” that and kill her off, this time for real!

I don’t like that decision at all, even it is a drastic and unusual way to kill off the big love of the main character! That was certainly not expected.

Of course, that also means that there were no more Nightwatchman scenes in the final third season, which was just ok for me.

I will re-watch seasons 1 and 2 at some point….but not season 3 😉

The “Nightwatchman” in action! – Scene 6

[Post 2 of 2 for today]

As promised another scene with the Nightwatchman today!

Robin is imprisoned and gets tortured by the bad guys, time for the Nightwatchman to save him!

Especially as the woman inside that costume is in love with Robin 😉

But Guy of Gisborne is determined to catch the masked vigilante and find out how actually is under these masks!

Sorry, due to some technical difficulties 1080p+English isn’t available for this blog right now (just for this scene).

But I’m sure you can live with it well.

WATCH the video before you go on!

Well, that was a pretty close call for the Nightwatchman!

I love how he demands her to unmask herself! Luckily she won’t give up easily.

It’s great how the situation even gets more dangerous for her as the Sheriff sneaks up on her and holding his pretty big dagger to her throat. His diabolical smile…. is awesome!

Now she is really in big danger, every second a hand could reach for her masks and begin to UNMASK her.

I just love the tension in such scenes….really well done here!

In my version, a hand would actually start to yank on her mask but she would then escape the danger quickly.

I do have one more scene with the Nightwatchman…..and that is the best one, you might imagine why 😉

The “Nightwatchman” in action! – Scene 5

Time for another scene with the Nightwatchman in action!

I intended to post 2 scenes today…but the 2nd one was problematic. The audio switched to german every time, even I selected to use the English one.

Even there isn’t much dialogue in this scene, I want the damn program to work and that you all can watch the scene with English dialogue for the best experience.

But, don’t worry, I will upload scene 6 next Thursday, so you won’t have to wait for long.

And the BIG, last scene 7 will then follow on a weekend.

I really like this scene big time! By this time I care about her in the show a lot and really rooting for her. She gets trapped in that room, the evil Guy of Gisborne is just outside the door, breaking it down pretty quickly. With the axe and the damaged doors he somehow reminds me a lot of a certain Jack N. in “The Shining” 😉 , especially as he is watching her through the damaged door.

You can see the fear on her face, she is breathing heavily through the cloth cover above her mouth. She now she can’t escape….he is outside the door and there are plenty of guards there as well.

A great setting!

As soon they rush in they would overpower her sooner or later and then would UNMASK her! Her life as well as her father’s life would be in grave danger as the Nightwatchman is a big enemy of the Sheriff. He would also find the woman that he loves under the mask….but she is in love with someone else…..

The way he sneakily attacks her with that dagger….wow….worthy of a real villain.

Of course, she survives that in the end, even she actually seemingly dies.

But that was revealed one episode later….providing a major cliffhanger.

As I already knew she would be in season 2….I wasn’t surprised….but imagining watching the show back then when it first aired….they surely tortured the audience quite well. 😉

The Nightwatchman returns for two more scenes!

(or NightwatchWOman as she should be called)

 

Check out my first post about her if you haven’t already:

Only a very short scene, but already a really good one for me!

The villain has stopped her, everything is at stake for her as he really wants to know who the Nightwatchman is.

The moron hasn’t realized that the masked vigilante is a woman….damn, he must really get some glasses! 😉

I love that she managed to suppress a scream or moan as that might give away that the Nightwatchman isn’t a man like nearly everyone believes so far.

She does everything to keep her identity as safe as possible…in all regards.  And I really love that!

And it won’t be the last time he tries to capture her… 😉

Another fine scene! Great to see her putting on her maskS 🙂

Luckily for her father, she is in full costume as these bandits rob the house…she saves the day!

The fight scene is done really well, and with her full masquerade, it’s rather easy to put a stuntwoman in that costume and do the action part…

I just love action scenes with such a masked woman! So much can happen, and it’s a real thrill ride for me.

In the end, she is victorious and unmasks herself for a chat with Robin, a nice bonus!

And I do have 3 more scenes with her….she will get in a LOT of trouble….. as evil Guy of Gisborne wants to know who is behind these masks of hers!

 

The “Nightwatchman” in action! – Scenes 1 + 2

So, what’s interesting about this “Nightwatchman” character in this TV show? And how it is relevant to this blog?

Well, what only some folks in the show will find out is…that this masked vigilante is actually a WOman. So the correct title would be NightwatchWOman 😉

I keep referring to her as the “Nightwatchman” because it is the name of the vigilante.

This one is actually one of the very best recommendations that were ever made to me! THANKS a LOT!

It will lead to an entry in the “Hall of Fame” in the next weeks 🙂

I somehow totally missed this TV show and in the end, the recommendation lead to me buying every three seasons of it on Blu-ray.

Each season has “only” 13 episodes but they greedily split each season into 2 blu-ray boxes with just 2 discs each. So I had to buy 6 Blu-ray boxes to get all 3 seasons.

But since the show isn’t new anymore…it wasn’t very expensive (besides the very last box).

This one is another perfect example while I love such characters in (long) TV shows. You really get connected to these characters and every scene has much more intensity for me than it would have if the character would just appear in some minutes during a random video. The character has much more depth and I am much more interested in what will happen to him/her throughout the show.

Yeah, it costs a lot of time to watch all these episodes, but it was more than worth it in the end. And not only for the Nightwatchman scenes, I enjoyed the whole show quite a lot…especially seasons 1 and 2.

In total, I have not fewer than 7 scenes with the Nightwatchman, today I wanna present the first two.

Here is the first scene as an appetizer….

Even this video with less than 2 minutes wasn’t welcome on Youtube, so I had to go with plan B…. even that means that I have to make these posts without any videos on my Youtube channel. 🙁

Yeah, not much to see her as we get only some glimpses on the Nightwatchman.

But it is her first appearance and her background is explained to Robin and us.

And the next scene will be verrrrry interesting 😉

Well…..where to begin?

Let’s start with the costume: At that time only very few sexy fabrics were invented/in use.

I think they make a LOT out of the available materials. I like her leather top that….if you get a good look…. clearly gives away that the Nightwatchman is a woman ;-), even she tries her best that no one notices that with her costume.

I LOVE that she really takes a great effort to hide her identity. Actually, her whole masquerade has 3 items! The hood hides her hair, the rather big eye mask is concealing her face alongside the scarf that covers the lower part of her face.

She has so much to lose if someone would figure out who she is, and she does everything she can to protect her secret identity. A+

If you have seen at least one of the 3652 (or so) Robin Hood movies…you know that Marian is his big love. And that makes his reaction to the unmasking so pleasing to me.

He thinks the Nightwatchman is some kind of murderer (“he” is not) and finds Marian under these masks…. I love such a constellation!

The unmasking is filmed quite….odd. He pulls back her hood …but then she quickly decides to unmask herself completely. Well, it makes sense as they know and love each other (most of the time). As she realizes that there is no escape for her, she rather unmasks herself than letting him do it.

I would have rather preferred her to defend her mask and to put up a fight in a scene before he pins her to the ground, but well she will have some thrilling fights with others ;-).

And this was only the beginning…soon the evil “Guy of Gisborne” will try everything to stop the Nightwatchman.

Guy is also in love with Marian….. and really HATES the Nightwatchman at the same time.

Again…I LOVE such constellations! 😉
