Dr Who Episode 3: The Curse of the Black Spot.

*Spoilers*

Hmmm …

You know, I’m not sure if I’m stunned or not, by tonight’s episode of Dr Who.

Well …

Maybe that’s sounding a touch harsh.

It’s accurate, though.

I’m not stunned by The Curse of the Black Spot.

However, I’ve got to admit, I did enjoy it

The Curse of the Black Spot opens with the Doctor, Rory and Amy finding themselves on board the good ship, Fancy: commanded by Captain Henry Avery, the Fancy has a Siren problem.

No, seriously, a siren problem.

In this case … ?

It’s a turquoise painted siren — played by Lily Cole, who I’d last seen in The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus — who appears out of the sea, whenever one of Captain Avery’s band, whenever one of them is injured.

There’s a reason for that …

As we eventually find out, the siren isn’t actually malicious.

And is going after the injured member’s of the crew for a very good reason: seemingly …

She’s the emergency medical hologram for a ship, stuck in a dimensional hole in space, in the same point where the Fancy is …

Hmmm … !!!!

Yes … !

Quite … !

Right, sorry, just got distracted by an old friend, there … !

Carly, soon as I get the chance, I’ll try and post up a Permissions Check How To!

At any rate …

As I was saying … !

The Curse of The Black Spot wasn’t quite the stunner the opening two episodes were.

Saying that … ?

I’m thinking that, when we look back on the season, episode three will be the light and fluffy episode, countering the darkness of the previous two episodes …

And what looks — from the various preview clips and trailer, floating around — Episode four, next week, sounds as dark.

On the other hand … ?

The Curse of The Black Spot may not be the best episode of the three, we’ve seen in season six, so far …

But it’s definitely fun episode … !

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.
