May 9th, 2011 - 3:51pmDid anyone notice the big continuity blunder with the boatswain?
booboo
May 9th, 2011 - 3:55pmWe sure did, stood out a mile, it was quite distracting for a while wondering where he had gone
KORSAIR
May 9th, 2011 - 4:00pmProbably caused by a bit of bad editing methinks

May 9th, 2011 - 7:45pmMaybe he was a Silent in disguise so everyone forgot him.

May 9th, 2011 - 11:42amWho is that Alan Rickman soundalike in the preview of The Doctor’s Wife?
The Adventure Games
May 9th, 2011 - 10:32amTHAT EYE PATCH WOMAN APPEARED AGAIN! HER NAME IS APPARENTLY KOVARIAN. She freaks me out so bad. Imagine bumping into her and you hear her say CALM, JUST STAY CALM! She is probably going to appear in A Good Man goes to War and have something to do with the cliffhanger. I think she has something to do with that mysterious woman in The End of Time Part 2. We will just have to wait and see.

May 9th, 2011 - 11:42amWhat mysterious woman in End of Time?
doctorwhoforever
May 9th, 2011 - 7:20pmthe time lord that looked at the doctor as they all were destroyed/teleported. well i can’t remember what happned to them but her.

May 9th, 2011 - 3:41amAbout Lucy Saxon/Regenerating girl.
Actually we think she could be Lucy Saxon as a child.
CG
May 9th, 2011 - 11:40amDidn’t The Master say in The Sound of Drums, that he wanted to understand the Doctor’s fascination with humans so he married one. Or something said along those lines.
Which rules out Lucy Saxon being able to regenerate
TardisBlue
May 9th, 2011 - 1:26amSydney Wade -Young Lucy Saxon / Cole
From IMDB. Sydney Wade plays the regenerating little girl.
Lucy Saxon is the Masters wife.
Girl regenerating must be Masters daughter.

May 9th, 2011 - 1:08amIf you mix up Idris ,you get Disir which phonetically sounds like Desire .She desires to bite his neck.
Also the first part of her name is Id . The id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual trends; Wikipedia.

May 8th, 2011 - 5:34pmwho is that weird woman? :I she has popped up in 2 out of 3 episodes. I think she will have a big effect on Amy later on in th series and it will probably be good like BAD WOLF
MachoMan99
May 8th, 2011 - 5:36pmsorry guys. 🙁 ‘The series’
jedijim
May 8th, 2011 - 4:28pmThis was a decent episode, and you got to admit this time the “monster” was HOT !
MachoMan99
May 8th, 2011 - 5:38pmHELL YEH :)! and i found the song so attracting like to the guys in the episode and I think Amy’s HOT as well
spaceBUZZ
May 8th, 2011 - 1:49pmWhat i personally think the reason people don’t like this episode is because last weeks was so complicated people were ready to work a lot of stuff out but no, this episode was a very relaxed episode and so not at all complicated. But god i wanted to see a silent.
MachoMan99
May 8th, 2011 - 5:39pmthe silent freaked me out __-
imagin bumping into 1 o’ them
superdalek
May 8th, 2011 - 11:21amI think I have a theory about the end of Day Of The Moon… Jeferson (The little girl.) is Amy’s daughter but a confirmed theory on another website is that River Song is Amy’s daughter. So for Amy to have a time lord child say The Doctor or River gets shot and either pour the regeneration imto Amy and her child ACA: River becomes time lord and it sort of goes round in acircle.
Feel free to disagree.
spaceBUZZ
May 8th, 2011 - 2:40pmWell then, if the doctor and amy have a child aka the little girl and river is amys daughter then if the doctor is rivers father then river fancies love and kisses her dad like there is no tomorrow
superdalek
May 9th, 2011 - 3:52pm1. I didn’t understand a word of that.
2. The Doctor would be more of an uncle/godfather to Amy’s child because she is married to Rory therefore RORY is the father.

Rory is the child’s father!!!

Jason doctorwhoone
May 8th, 2011 - 7:50amFraid i didint enjoy this one. The only thing i really liked was Amy just doing Pirates of the Caribbean [ keeped on expecting Johnny Depp to turn up as Captain Jack Sparrow himself . . . . SAVVY !! 😀 ].
Lily Cole’s Siren wasint even scary, i doubt she frighted many Children, just keeped making silly faces as far as im concerned, she didint even say a thing [ well, atleast she keeped herself quiet, unlike the Silence who clearly didint live up to their name ].
Thank god theres and Ood this coming Saturday, they are sure scary when they get possessed, and are a real fan favorite for many.
Doctor Who Star 100
May 9th, 2011 - 5:36pmI liked the siren, it was a break from the over-creepy aliens! and you weren’t the only one expecting captain jack (sparrow not the other)! i enjoyed it, big time!!!!!!!!!!
Fox Mulder
May 8th, 2011 - 1:47amI loved it, it was awesome I liked how the pirates got to fly through space, who is the girl with the eyepatch ? a Holographic doctor awesome, loved it .

May 8th, 2011 - 7:34amYes , what did happen to him
Doctor Who Star 100
May 9th, 2011 - 5:37pmyeah, i was thinking about him last night, What happened to him?
jack
May 7th, 2011 - 11:21pmone 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 🙂
CG
May 7th, 2011 - 10:16pmI 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?
Alex
May 7th, 2011 - 10:19pmYeah 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!
The Dark Side of the Moon
May 7th, 2011 - 11:33pmI 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
PaulG
May 7th, 2011 - 11:46pmfunny you should talk about the Troughton pirates…did you take a close look at the actor playing McGrath, the first pirate to be taken? His name is Carl McCrystal, but with the addition of some black hair, he would look a great deal like Patrick Troughton’s Doctor…there’s a possibility for a great crossover episode….!
Anonymous
May 8th, 2011 - 7:17pmActually Steven Moffat wants to move away from coplicated series arcs (although no doubt individual stories will still have it), his plan is have less episodes every year which connect into the main storyline, last year he could only do it with one (Amy’s Choice) but this year he has got the number up to three (Curse of the Black Spot, The Doctor’s Wife and Mark Gatiss’ episode).
Alex
May 7th, 2011 - 10:16pmI 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.
Anthony Harding
May 7th, 2011 - 9:27pmEyepatch woman seems to be Amy’s Midwife?
Anthony Harding
May 7th, 2011 - 9:29pmApologies. Had not seen previous posts. 🙂
Alex
May 7th, 2011 - 10:17pmIts interesting. It feels like Amy is dreaming about being with The Doctor and the “real world” is where the woman is.
Anthony Harding
May 10th, 2011 - 8:33pmOh yeah!
Hope they don’t do a “Dallas” on us :p
Geog
May 7th, 2011 - 9:06pmDefinatley better than the opening 2 parter
The Dark Side of the Moon
May 7th, 2011 - 11:28pmSeriously? Each to their own 🙂

May 9th, 2011 - 10:41amThe opening two were the best yet! i went to the premier and met moffat!
harold saxon
May 7th, 2011 - 8:44pmentertaining ,not as good as last 2 but thres aways a more subsued episode per season,it was good though,liked the swahbuckling.
Doctor J
May 7th, 2011 - 8:39pmI 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
jack
May 7th, 2011 - 7:39pmwell…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
The Master
May 7th, 2011 - 7:17pmBecause She Said, Calm Down And Things Like That, AndAlso, She Appears When Amy Sees That Picture Of Her And Her Child.
MachoMan99
May 8th, 2011 - 5:46pmWHO IS? 😛 Eye patch lady ?
Adam
May 12th, 2011 - 5:25pmI think the Eye Patch is Amys dauter grown up in the furtue and she keeps worriing then she appers
Nowyoufearmetimelord
May 7th, 2011 - 7:16pmI 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.
Respect the thing !
May 7th, 2011 - 11:35pmNot 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 !
CYBERDALEK
May 7th, 2011 - 7:04pmI was a bit disapointed with the episode to be honest. Not the best of episodes.
jason
May 7th, 2011 - 8:26pmwell it was better than Fear her
Tomo
May 7th, 2011 - 11:28pmAgreed! Fear her was just pants. And this was actually just light hearted entertainment 😀
The Master
May 7th, 2011 - 6:57pmThe Woman Who Keeps Appearing With The Eyepatch Is Amys Midwife When She Is/Isn’t Pregnant.

May 7th, 2011 - 7:07pmI thought this to
The Master
May 7th, 2011 - 7:20pmbooboo I Think That The New Story Ark Should Be Amys Pregnansy.
booboo
May 7th, 2011 - 7:24pmseems to be yes
simon w
May 7th, 2011 - 8:19pm@ 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
Anthony Harding
May 7th, 2011 - 9:30pmThat’s My Thoughts Exactly.

NotADalek
May 7th, 2011 - 6:54pmThis 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.
Fox Mulder
May 8th, 2011 - 1:57amSame thing happened to me so I agree , the impossible astronaut was OK, the Day of the moon was actually enjoyable, This episode was enjoyable from start to finish it was better than the first 2 eps yes
The Dark Side of the Moon
May 8th, 2011 - 8:36amThe wonderful thing about DW is we al have completley different ideas about what makes DW good….I thought the first two episodes were the best DW I ever seen (and I’ve been watching since 1978)…last nights was just an adventure story…forgetable but rather enjoyable. For me DW needs more timey wimey stuff otherwise the show could be about any old adventurer.
