I’m still stuck on what happened to the sonic screwdriver. Gonna have to google the missing scene.

@geoffers, that still doesn’t explain what happened to the sonic screwdriver. I also realized this morning after I had some coffee that he used the 11th Doctor’s sonic, but in Deep Breath, he had a brand new sonic screwdriver with a ivory handle. So wondering if the wonkiness with the sonics are part of the plot or an oversight by the prop department.

 

 

They have established in the first two episodes that people who the doctor have manipulated into killing/sacrificing themselves will end up in Missy’s heaven. He even admits he’s manipulated people into to this at some point during the episode. So it seems this Doctor is grumpy, cynical, darker, and probably burntout from caring about people all the time. Plus with the all black outfit, this one is practically emo/goth. LOL I’m looking forward to seeing him question his morals and his character as the series progresses.  The 10th and 11th were  against genocide and murder, especially after having fought in the time war, and this one might think the bigger (universal/dimensional) picture is more important than one species or one person.

Hi. New to the forum and glad to find a place to discuss the show.

I wasn’t as jazzed about this episode as I wanted to be. It was a little silly, but the funny moments were still funny. One thing that I noticed is that neither the Doctor nor Clara grabbed the sonic screwdriver from the Sherrif. I’ll have to watch it again to be sure, but did anyone else notice? He managed to get thru the episode without using his sonic, which was a great twist, but I was expecting the Doctor to figure out how to get it back or at the very least complain about it falling into the vat of molten gold but nope. I was even expecting Robin Hood to slip it to him just before they left.  It shows up in the preview for the next episode, so I’m kinda hoping they explain how he got it back or if he got a new one. Seems like a huge oversight.

Also not sure how I feel about the sonic screwdriver being used like a gun to blow up random non-computerized stuff.  It’s just weird.

I also like that we really got to see him using the new TARDIS console. Typing in coordinates on a computer keyboard seems so sensible. This doctor is no frills. I love it.
