* DroppedAfterThePilot: Viewers might be forgiven for assuming that Jeffrey (the Locksley villager that impersonates a monk in an attempt to free the condemned prisoners) was going to be a regular (or at least recurring) character, especially given his resemblance to Friar Tuck. However, he's not seen again after the pilot.

* ShoutOut: The show's creators are on record for saying they didn't initially include Friar Tuck in the show because they felt he was too much of a comedic character. As such, the character of Jeffrey -- a rather rotund man who ''pretends'' to be a monk in a bid to get clemency for the condemned men -- is a nod to this absent member of the Merry Men.
