Well, I've seen the latest episodes.... but I've been holding off on commenting. Mostly because I've simply been that effing busy, but also because the episodes 1 to 3 had me distinctly troubled, which is a shame after the intense anticipation I had waiting for the new Doctor.

Then we get two generic-new-series episodes written with a generic Doctor in mind because no one had actually seen Capaldi in action yet. Though too their credit, they're not that bad as generic-new-series episodes go. And left me wanting to get hold of DVDs of the Robin Of Sherwood series I grew up on.
The Barn Witch Project seems to be the episode where things have finally clicked into place.

Also, freeze-framing the promo for Time Heist reveals that the Abslom Daak Dalek Killer comics are now canon. Cue flame war.

Into the Dalek almost seemed like a filler show, it did a decent job, and made the Doctor back to the monster he could have become.
I disagree with Listen. I actually fast forwarded through parts of it, as plodding as it was. Danny so far hasn't shown any interesting traits whatsoever. He makes Rory look forceful. Clara going back to the 1st Doctor just seemed contrived.
Loved the Sherwood episode, even if the ending was hack. They seemed to enjoy themselves in this one, a mix of the 70's adventure episodes only mixed with the curmudgeon 12 has turned into.

Re: the end of Robot - would it have been that difficult to shoot the arrow through the hole they'd blasted in their own cockpit wall earlier?

Now I just want to see if Ian is going to make a surprise appearance in the next episode.
