SPOILER ALERT FOR IGGY

Watched S6ep3. Better than I expected. I was expecting something riddled with injokes related to the Pirates of the Carribean, but instead got something that isn't really centered around pirates and their arrr matey stuff.

Even Swashbuckling Amy worked much better than it should. She didn't magically turn into a highly athletic fighter, you could tell that she was all over the place and the whole fight scene was awkward from the get go. Her bit only worked because the pirates (the doc and rory, as well) were dumbfounded (and she got taken down as soon as people got their bearings straight). The scene was cheesy and cute. Same goes for the doctor getting rid of the reflection in Toby's pendant, and the doctor hugging the TARDIS at the space hospital.

I didn't like the drama bit at the end with Rory being revived, though. I mean, if they keep this up Rory's death/near-death scenes and Amy's tears will no longer have any effect in the future. Gotta avoid overusing the drama.

The crew at the end was kind of cool. Very star trek-y (I wonder if they're going to show up again in some of the later episodes).

NEXT WEEK: the neil gaiman ep?
