Knights & Knaves Alehouse

I started following TLE but then it seemed like any information provided by it was peripheral to what was happening on the Island.

Are you avoiding the spoilers?

OK, who's looking forward to the upcoming "premiere"? So far the IIIrd season has shown a bit of promise.

This particular series (i.e. the old one) is set in the twelfth century. The Friars weren't even established by that point, so Friar Tuck would not even have been a Mendicant Friar.
