Re: Doctor Who
Probably not hugely important. Although there was a new character introduced that will probably be reoccurring. Other than that there was a couple of callbacks to the story arc. It was definitely a good episode though, so watch it when you can.

Re: Doctor Who
Saw both of the episodes accidentally- apparently the previous episode was shown at 8 instead of the present one. They were both decent episodes, but I felt Robot of Sherwood let me down in terms of writing, acting, etc.

Re: Doctor Who
You gotta admit though, the Doctor fighting off Robin Hood with a spoon was worth the watch.
Re: Doctor Who
Episodes "Listen" and "Time Heist" were both quite good. Listen was an excellent return to the creepy Moffat episodes of old, and Time Heist was just an all-around good episode. Still say Danny Pink feels like an utterly pointless character. I hope I'm proven wrong, but I kind of doubt it.

Re: Doctor Who
"Robot of Sherwood" was loads of fun, "Listen" was good, if not a bit confusing.
"Time Heist" was also fantastic, but also confusing. Danny Pink seems pretty pointless, and the trailer for the next episode gives me the idea it'll be focusing on the romantic subplot, which I really hope it doesn't do.

Re: Doctor Who
Apart from one single Doctor Who critic, I don't know anybody apart from me that hated Listen. The other episodes this series were either good, but not excellent (Into the Dalek, Time Heist) or just above average (Deep Breath, Robot of Sherwood.) Listen was just... tired and boring.

Re: Doctor Who
I actually disliked Listen, for much the same reasons you named (although as of this series Clara is redeeming herself, IMO). I wouldn't say I hated it, though.
Time Heist was a really good episode with a slightly underwhelming conclusion that didn't quite live up to what it had promised. However, the actual premise of the episode is utterly inspired - a heist to steal something that you know you want more than anything, but without actually knowing what that thing is, making half the motive of theft to simply find out what it was in the first place.
The obvious plothole is quite unfortunate, though.

Re: Doctor Who
There was an obvious plot hole? I guess I must not have caught it yet, but then, I can be a little slow as far as fridge logic goes. Would you mind pointing out for me?

I am loving Series 8 thus far! I'll be more in-depth later, but I love Capaldi. He is amazing!

Re: Doctor Who
I think last night's episode confirmed my suspicions that Danny Pink exists for the sole purpose of creating pointless drama between Clara and the Doctor.

Re: Doctor Who
I rather enjoyed Mummy on the Orient Express. Plot was pretty interesting, and there was just the right amount of tension. I also liked how they showed this Doctor is not as heartless as he appears at first glance. Looking forward to the next episode.
