I'm liking this new Doctor, he seems a little darker than Matt Smith's and that's a good thing to me. I didn't really are for this week's episode though. They had far too much buildup with the Merry Men and no real release. Why point out that they were over-the-top stereotypical then just drop it? It seemed like they were trying to do a lot with the episode then just dropped all their ideas mid-way and went with "evil robots".
And the arrow hitting the ship caused an overload? Really? That makes zero sense. Moffat has gotten EXTREMELY lazy with his vehicles for resolving an episode.

They didn't. It was a focus of the episode. Basically even though The Doctor didn't believe in them, and neither did the viewer, there are a few legends that are real, namely Robin Hood and The Doctor. This allowed a moment for Clara to show full faith in and acceptance of the new doctor for the first time so far.
So often the companion is the surrogate for the viewer, I enjoyed making The Doctor the audience surrogate for a change.

This was certainly dumb (but not a moffat written episode). But the arrow didn't cause the overload. Not that this makes it more plausible.
