Doctor who - The Curse of the Black Spot

For my first Doctor Who blog review, I'm starting with episode three, The curse of the black spot. A brief description of this episode is that the TARDIS is marooned onboard a 17th-century pirate ship where the Doctor is soon being forced to walk the plank at gunpoint, until the Doctor discovers that the ship has been plagued by a mysterious Siren, who is quickly putting the crew under her spell.

To start with I'lll give this episode a 3 out of 5, not because it was a bad episode, just because from the series trailer I'm expecting even more amazing episodes. The storyline itself in this episode i thought wasnt as indepth as they usually are, there were a variety of plot twists involved, however i thought the Doctor seemed to be able to find solutions to problems a bit to easily....like it a bit more complicated and more mystery.

Every episode Matt, Karen and Arthur, give a great performance, so for future blogs if I dont mention how they've performed, then take it as a given it that they were awesome! One thing I loved in this episode was how they brought up the fact that Amy and Rory are married and that they are actually using it within the episodes. Especially how at the end Rory and Amy were heading off to bed, a thing I dont think has ever happened in the TARDIS, the assistants sleeping, made it feel very down to earth. Having the marriage talk included was brilliant, as I was slightly worried that them being married was not really going to be brought up and would take a back seat, looking forward to seeing how that develops throughout the series.

I'm still not quite sure yet whats happening with 'Amys hullucinations', and also whats happening about Amy being pregnant, is she, isn't she?? Am sure they'll get to that in a few more episodes though, so many unanwsered questions! Overall I thought this was a great episode, not going to make too many more conclusions yet this early on will have to wach on a bit more.

Eagerly awaiting next weeks episode, which is 'The Doctor's Wife', until then though, keep being nerdy!
