So far, I do not like this new Doctor. I liked him as Malcolm Tucker and in the Musketeers, but I don't like him as the Doctor. Still like the show, but he just doesn't "do it" for me. Maybe he'll grow on me or whatever.

Over here, there's a bit of a scandal about the BBC forcing the show to rewrite a scene due to violence (the final fight with the sheriff). IMO, the way the scene came out works much better flow-wise than the original.
I saw the redacted scene and thought it made the story worse. I liked the villain as presented when it aired better than that version.

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.
But this was a lighter, funny episode that is aware of this issue. The moment where Clara demands a plan not including the words "sonic screwdriver" was wonderful. This post was edited on 9/9/14 at 10:53 am

I think there was a line kept in that maintained this plot point, but it was hard to hear. Something about being half machine I think.

Anybody watch Listen yet? I don't want to post spoilers if people haven't had a chance to see it. I think it lived up to the hype of being a great episode, but not at all in the way I expected.
