DW 8x03, "Robot of Sherwood"

[kindkit]

I actually liked this one a lot. It was silly fun and reminded me of some of the lighter classic Who stories. I liked the in-jokes and literary references and enjoyed most of the meta (though I could've done with a bit less of people telling the Doctor what an awesome hero he is--it's one of my least favorite aspects of new Who). I did like the bit at the end when Robin said that if they pretend to be heroes well enough, other people might become heroes in their names.

Nice performances from the supporting cast, too, especially the Sheriff of Nottingham.
