Inconsequential, thy name is ‘The Curse Of The Black Spot’.
If ever a stand alone episode has suffered from the excessive momentum of its predecessors this was it. Whatever followed the massive cliffhanger from last week was always going to be a little bit of a let down, so instead of explaining anything, we’re just moving on. All those questions that we have are to be put to one side for a little bit as we get a lighter, less ongoing-plot heavy episode instead.
This is very much Doctor Who by the numbers. That’s not to say it’s a bad episode. It’s a pretty good episode, with one or two really good ideas, and an intriguing narrative. It’s just that it was exactly what you might expect from Doctor Who. There was no effort made to make it more than your standard Doctor Who, no twists, just your monster of the week time again! There’s pirates, and a mermaid, and a spaceship and everything. This is totally what Doctor Who is all about.
The latest series of Doctor Who kicks off with the show travelling to America. The Doctor, Amy, Rory and River come together to discover what the world has forgotten about the events of 1969, but only after a deadly encounter with an impossible astronaut. We discuss all the twists and turns in our commentary!
