6x03: Curse of the Black Pearl Spot

Not gonna lie... didn't really get any of that. Didn't make any sense to me, and not in a "hmmm, wonder what that means?" way; more like a "what is this?!" way.

Had a good premise (even if I'm rarely keen on the type of ending this one had) but it just didn't feel good. Feels like Stephen Thompson was trying to do

I only got it because there was a plot almost EXACTLY like it in Star Trek, where a manically lonely EMH (Emergency Medical Hologram) goes bonkers and does pretty much what the 'Siren' did.

Basically, this spaceship crash landed betwixt universes (even though that whole rift thing between 9 and 10 should have made that impossible). Because of the way it landed, all mirrors became portals between the ship's universe and our universe.

The crew were all killed by a human virus of some sort. The automatic medical hologram, the siren, went off on one because there was no one to heal, travelling to the other universe and taking anyone who was there back to the ship to heal them.

The 'black spot' was her taking a skin sample to test. Her 'singing' was oral anesthesia to keep everyone unconscious.

... basically, yeah, a very sketchy plot that could have been done better IMHO

OK, I get it more now. But urgh. The idea sounds good, but to me, NONE of it worked. They should have made more of how the boat was in an unusual place, or how there were readings from the TARDIS that didn't make sense or something. Just that it didn't appear to be your average pirate ship.

And the whole mirror thing was just stupid. Basically, this was Steven Thompson trying to be really smart and scary a do the moff thing and just failing. Miserably.

Very sketchy, agreed.

Thank you :)
