			Well it seems like we're in a minority because review-wise this episode seems to be getting panned all around   everyone just seems to want grim dark serious Capaldi 24/7 with super serious plots. I was glad to see he can still do a campy Doctor while still giving it his own distinct flavour.

			Yeah, I've long since realized my Doctor Who tastes fail to coincide with the masses. I'm mostly OK with it these days. I particularly enjoyed this episode because, despite the Doctor not being a fan of it, there was a lot of lovely banter featured.

			I'm with you two actually. My opinions rarely seem to line up with the rest of today's audience for this series. And this was another great episode.

			I did find anything egregiously bad with this episode. I enjoyed it too.

			This is going to go down as the episode where Capaldi finally clicked for me. I've been a little unable to fully accept him as the Doctor until now, but the fight with Robin Hood and especially the bit with him examining the Merry Men have definitely banished my reservations. This is definitely the Doctor. And as far as the episode itself goes, I loved it. It very much felt like the Tardis somehow landed in The Princess Bride and everything about it was just plain fun. Robin was hilariously over the top and his interactions with the Doctor were fantastic. I also liked the Sheriff, although I found him eerily reminiscent of Anthony Ainley (not that that was a bad thing, just kind of weird). |

			Just found out about the Patrick Troughton easter egg in this episode and it's blowing my mind a little.

			I can not wait for next weeks episode. The trailer is perfectly chilling, if Capaldi clicked this week, then next week he'll own it.

			I liked this episode. Surprised we didn't see Missy this week though, I thought for sure she would've brought one of those Robot Knights or the Sheriff to The Promised Land. And the thing about the internet is you can never make it happy. He'd be dark all the time and they'd bitch about that. What did they want him to do; cut off Robin's head?
