I rewatched a Nine episode the other day, but it didn’t hit me until I was rereading some things I had written about “The Robots of Sherwood” that my expectations for a good episode of this show have fallen from “compelling plot with excellent characterization and a healthy dose of introspection about the nature of humanity” to “nothing in this episode was actively incomprehensible, poorly characterized, or offensive.”

I don’t have much of a point beyond that at the moment, that’s just a really depressing idea to contemplate.
