[> Worry 'cause I'm wearing a hat now! -- Chani, Sunday, May 08, 08:35:03am (81-65-192-252.rev.numericable.fr/81.65.192.252)

It was fun, with a few clever things here and there, mostly the siren being a doctor, the mirrors stuff that has to be big on foreshadowing things and, above all, I love the "Rory! Toby! The Tardis!" :- )

Oh and "I'm confused" leading the doctor to mention a club and that they shjould have t-shirts!LOL

Eventually, after paying tribute to pirate films (and Amy reminded me of another redhead, Gena Davis!)and mythology, the show rewrote the legend of the Ghost Ship.


Eyepatch Lady must be a nurse or an OB GYN doctor in some alternate reality in which Amy is giving birth.


But overall that filler or standalone was not a great episode, and the scene after disconnecting Rory was terrible (and before that why were The Doctor, Amy and Avery the only one the Virtual Doctor didn't put in sick bay?). The cryfest working miracle was such a bad cliché. Also didn't Rory teach her to pinch the nose before blowing air inside of the mouth when performing CPR?

It really shows when Moffat doesn't write episodes.

I didn't mind the inconsistencies too much, I had a highly skilled CPR instructor sitting next to me for this episode and he never said boo-he's learned that they NEVER get it right.

The captain was based on a real English pirate. That was cool. Confusion over commands during the storm? That was fun. Amelia vs Amy....is worrisome. Poor Rory almost dying yet again? Oy!!

I wonder if being pregnant/not pregnant is causing those flashes Amy is experiencing, I have to say that Patch Lady is pretty creepy no matter what. Thinking back to last season in the cottage in that wee town, wasn't that Amy pregnant and they were trying to hide in the nursery?

Poor Tardis, she's been through a lot the past while. Eleven is a tough go for her!
