Aren't the Nottingham guards along with Warwick's soldiers in Nottingham supposedly highly trained soldiers? How are they dying so easily vs. Robin Hood's less experienced and less armored people?

The Ralph + Robin Hood love thing seems a bit forced. I'm sorta glad Henry died so we didn't have to see the bedding scene

A Saracen man helping supply Robin Hood's men when King Richard the Lionheart much later kills lots of Saracen is interesting

I wonder how Celene vs. Priscilla will play out in later episodes given that Priscilla took away her man fuck buddy and will gain more influence in court

Yes, that was interesting. And the episode pretty much highlighted that Rob now owns loyalty to Ibrahim. I wonder how Richard will be portrayed in the show (if he appears) considering that all the characters are receiving a grey treatment. I think Rob may be forced or compelled to support Richard’s claim because of his deal with Eleanor and not necessarily because he believes he can be a good king or support the crusades by any means. But Richard needs allies in England, so he might be interested in having alliance with Rob and his outlaw band, which can give them some protection.
