Robot of Sherwood isn't bad

I can't say much about Robot of Sherwood. It's rather insubstantial and silly, fairly standard throwaway episode. I mean, yeah, it was dumb in a silly way, but it was entertaining.

There's isn't much to say at all. Capaldi is ever good, and Coleman isn't that bad, she's just kinda fangirling the whole time. Her scene with the Sheriff is actually quite good. Robin Hood and his arguing with the Doctor is funny, but the Merry Men I think could have been used more. The forest itself is very nice, something right out of Merlin. The robots are interesting designs, but are fairly bog-standard generic villains with no real EVIL motivations. While they have a nice presence and look, there just there because we needed a villain.

The only real thing to talk about is the controversy about the ending. While I understand they changed it, as it was a grisly subject, you can feel the end was a bit of rush job. While the Sheriff being Terminator 2'd in molten gold was cool, I still think it would have been cooler if he had been a robot, as the episode title doesn't really work.

But yeah, it's enjoyable and not half bad. A bit silly and disposable, but at least it's not Listen...

Final Grade: C

Insubstantial, throwaway episo...wait what was I talking about again?
