    Not sure what you’ve been watching this evening but it certainly wasnt Dr Who ! This WAS a sharp, well executed, predominantly ‘stand alone’ ep that was there for the light relief and entertainment of the viewer. Something that it acheived on every level. It served as what it was, a chance for the viewer to catch their breath after a very hard hitting opening 2 parter. Far from “Could do better”,this was a well timed ep, keep it coming Mr Moffet !

    I am so happy SM is enforcing his version of Who on us….it was much needed after the tripe of DT/RTDs last couple of years. DW is a bout a alien time traveller and I welcome every second of timey wimey stuff…BUT…that said, I agree you cant have ‘full on’ episodes, every week…so as Alex said, it was nice to watch something your didnt have to study. IMO, this was a throw away episode that will bearly be remembered but rather enjoyable – 6/10

    Agreed! Fear her was just pants. And this was actually just light hearted entertainment 😀

    one of the lovely things about this episode,
    is that i didn’t need to explain it to my mum, yeah she got confused with last weeks episode, and the week before 🙂

    Yeah it was relaxing to not have to “study” the episode and just be entertained , which is what the episodes are sometimes all about. Loved it!

    Its interesting. It feels like Amy is dreaming about being with The Doctor and the “real world” is where the woman is.

    I thought this episode was a refreshing change from the over complex timey whimy episodes that Moffatt insists on dominating his version of Who.

    I liked the ending and the Pirates left to plunder all of space. Maybe an origin of sorts to the Troughton Space Pirates episode?

    I loved this episode. Another twist which made the ending , really lovely. The Siren (Lily Cole) was very beautiful and I loved the fluid singing. Bring on the next episode which could be a turning point for The Doctor. I hope to see River-song soon but I believe she only stars in two-parters.

    I really liked Curse of The Black Spot it was really good to watch. I can understand why most poeple did not like it because of Rory’s neer death so what the episode was good

    @ The Master It funny I had the same thought’s that she could be / might be Amy’s Midwife/ Nanny to the baby that she is/ is not carrying. not as good as the first 2 episode’s

    well…i have to say i did think this episode wasn’t as good as i had hoped..it just had far to many moments when i was annoyed or cringed. because too many things just did not add up or things that just didn’t work or seemed silly! BUT dont get me wrong i love the program a lot and im still a huge fan, its just a shame this was not as good as the last two amazing episodes

    Because She Said, Calm Down And Things Like That, AndAlso, She Appears When Amy Sees That Picture Of Her And Her Child.

    I thought this episode was going to be good, you can’t go wrong with pirates, right?… wrong. it was probably the worst episode of the last 6 series, weak story, Amy being a pirate was cringeworthy, the 1700’s captain accepted spaceage tech very well, the Doctor was’nt much use in it,compare it with ‘Blink”Dalek’or
    the unquiet dead,it really was just a black spot, I thought Who was going to sharper,darker and clever under Moffet, not happening, must do better.

    The Woman Who Keeps Appearing With The Eyepatch Is Amys Midwife When She Is/Isn’t Pregnant.

    This episode was a lot better then the last two, I didn’t think I was going to like it but I did. Hopefully Series 6 can pick itself up.
