  • The sheriff's fixation on Marian is questioned and explained through royal blood and her availability outside court.
  • Will withholding the brother revelation while undermining the group is criticized as contrived and obstructive; he is proposed as another weak link.
  • Azeem apparently both loving a family at home and having none to return to is flagged as a possible contradiction, followed by a joking secret-brother theory.
  • Little John not knowing his own river is shallow enough to stand in is considered implausible.
  • Azeem disappearing for a long stretch after the childbirth scene is questioned given Freeman's billing.
