Ben Miller as the Sheriff was brilliant.

This particular episode had a lot of really good character moments, and I thought the actors were brilliant - but as a story, it would have benefited from being more simple. The episode tried to do too much. I think this is the kind of thing that would have been much better in a Classic Who format (one story drawn out over several episodes). The writers just keep backing themselves into corners and just making really terrible stories. I thought this was better than the last one, but the writing needs to get better quickly.

I think the episode tit...*Spoilers for the Episode*<br />I think the episode title is 'Robot' of Sherwood, instead of 'Robots' is because in the original cut, the Sheriff was originally supposed to be half-machine. But they cut the scene out due to an decapitation-which I was surprised was actually featured in the episode in the first place.<br />Personally, I love this episode. I do. It's hilarious, has it's clever moments (I thought using the plates were particularly clever), and it's all wrapped up with a happy ending. Sure it's got it's faults (I thought I heard the guy say they were supposed to fire the arrows ten times, not once), but I loved it. It's exactly the kind of DW episode I love, apparently. For some reason, I seem to really love the historical episodes, or at least the ones that take place in the past.<br />Next week looks pretty dang cool, though-really creepy. <br />Thanks for the link to my review!<br />-TeganTegan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11197087001988013919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-2510759275329932412014-09-09T11:26:27.594-04:002014-09-09T11:26:27.594-04:00I basically agree with everything!

Aliens stuck on earth again?! It was predictable and the first thing I thought was, Geez, you just did this two episodes ago! Did you think I would forget?--That routine has gotten a little old.<br /><br />I also love the new Tardis interior; I would love to know what those symbols mean in that gif, too! Also I love the new interface in this Tardis--the last version with the all the random appliances looked kinda cheesy and cheap, but this one looks more sleek and spaceship-like.<br /><br />Clara was also even less annoying to me in this episode too, which I'm glad because I really dislike disliking main characters. She seems better suited for Capaldi's Doctor for some reason. :)<br /><br />~JamieJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17203554335912426375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385233731099220276.post-12838600823145997692014-09-09T10:41:03.915-04:002014-09-09T10:41:03.915-04:00I actually really loved the episode, nothing in th...I actually really loved the episode, nothing in the plot bothered me until the end with the arrow which did seem a bit cheesy (haha) but other than that, this might make my top Doctor Who episode list just because it was so fun and it had a lot of great humor. And I'm just maybe a bit biased because I love Robin Hood- and I loved the way he was portrayed here. :D<br /><br />Overall, I really liked this one.

I'm also a big fan of Robin Hood and I think they did a really good job with him here. I hope the rest of the season is this enjoyable :). Season 8 seems to be off to a good start.
