Is it just me or does this seem to happen a lot with DW? That a perfectly serviceable episode gets sandwiched between two great ones and therefore looks worse than it actually is?
My personal theory as to how the rest of the crew got "freed" from the siren (since Amy had to prove she was married to Rory to get the siren to leave him alone), is because Rory was
I think at the time, some people were already tired of the pirate craze, so that could have had an impact on episode's mediocre reception.
This was my first episode of doctor who! I'll always have a soft spot for it, regardless of objective quality. I still think it's a great introduction to the doctor who universe.
So Amy wanted to become a professional pirate before engaging in a sword fight, can you
I can't get over a barrel of water on the deck of a ship in the middle of a storm somehow being calm enough to reflect anything.
Given this came out at the same time as On Stranger Tides, people probably got sick to death of Pirates in media.
I really like that Thursdays at 11 AM I’m able to sit down and watch Harbos videos.
You know what this video about the pirate episode made me realize? There has been little episodes in New Who about zombies. Empty Child is sort of zombie but not quite, and there is that one of the hospital where the I-forgot-her-name possesses the Doctor. And I think that's about it. I don't know, I feel there is a lot you can do with zombies on a sci fi almost fantasy setting of DW.
I really love the pirate setting, so I’ve revisited it several times because of that. The same with A Town Called Mercy. I quite like that it’s light on the overall series arc, because it makes it very easy to revisit without needing to remember the context surrounding it.
All I remember from this episode is that my dad walked in at the very end when Amy was hugging shirtless Rory and crying and he was like "Isn't this a family show?"
I had no idea about Avory. So cool!
You really got to cover series 6 at the right time, hope your relationship with luna goes well!
The list of series 6 reminded me that god complex exists and that you will cover it soon. So hyped, love that episode
Series 6 has a major weakness, it's all plot and almost no character especially with the Melody/River revelation seeming to have literally no effect on Amy and Rory after Let's Kill Hitler even though that should have shaken their entire world but they just move on like nothing happened with pretty much no reflection on what that actually means for their characters.
I like all of season six, but I find episodes like this one to be gems. I never understood why it was hated, but I try not to listen to them.
Just imagine Matt Smith with his own a jar of dirt, what a riot that would be. 😆
Guys I think Harbo MIGHT be in a relationship
Just now getting to watch to video after a busy week. Thanks for the great content! Can’t wait to rewatch this episode after watching this
This is pretty much the only new who episode I haven't rewatched 10 times so seeing it again made it feel really new
