DW: S08EP03 – Robots of Sherwood
So here we go,
the next episode of Doctor Who. The season started so good and than that episode started. What can i say… i am not a big fan of that episode. Actually it is a funny idea to let the Doctor met Robin Hood. I like the way the Doctor searchs the whole time something that proves that Robin Hood is not real. Also i love how he dislike him.
But than there is just a great time of showing off. This is really boring and not so much fan as you think it would be. It was funny when the Doctor came to a sword fight with a spoon, but after a few seconds it was just silly. But that is actually the whole episode. There is not much story in it. Robin the hero… he was never to me a hero and after i watched Robin Hood the serie from BBC. I find the Robin must save Marian story annoying. I love a Maria, who fights her own fights and mostly she saves Robin. This is fun to watch, but all this other things… Here this he must save Marian story is not the main story, but the Doctor saves her. Also everything Clara do is flirting with every man in this episode. She can do so much more and i don’t mean to be annoyed of the both man, because everyone is. I wanted to have more Clara action.
What i like is the last part where Robin tells him that he is Claras hero. I don’t know if he is right but the Doctor was a hero for many people for Rose for example or Amy. But he isn’t a hero and i think that is really important. But also Robin is not wrong. He isn’t a hero either. The Story the tell about that is what makes him a hero. The people, who tell the stories make them heros. Because that is what people need.
Also what i find kind of annoying is that it was again robots. So we have Robots in the first episode, Daleks in the second and Robots in the third – we have just robots… the universe is big, there should be something else to tell.
We will see what the next episode will bring us.
