"Robot of Sherwood" reaction post



Really happy to finally be able to post a squeeful review of a Twelfth Doctor episode! This was marvelous. I don't think I've laughed that much at a Doctor Who episode since "City of Death."

Favorite parts:

-- The Doctor insisting that it can't possibly be Robin Hood, and suspiciously sonic-ing everyone and everything in sight! I loved the bit with the apple! Oh, and the "have you ever been to Nottingham?" line was hysterical. Except now I wonder how hard it was for the film crew to find sunny days for filming, especially in Wales!

-- Every single reaction Twelve had to Robin, and every single reaction Robin had to Twelve. Lots of scenes reminded me of "The Two Doctors" with Six and Two having a go at each other. Especially when they were chained up together in the dungeon.

-- Twelve being all childish, and sulky. Shades of Four, there. I especially liked him boasting about how long it would take him to die of old age.

--How great Clara was in this. It's nice to see her kicking ass.

A couple of little quibbles -- I could've done without the protracted "you're a legend, just like the Doctor" scene at the end -- but overall, an incredibly fun ride. Best of all, I really liked Twelve in this. Still don't think he's going to be one of my favorite Doctors, but I do want to like him!
