I totally agree with you about this episode, only I was expecting it to be super awesome for some reason (I think I love pirates too much), so I wasn't that happy with it. It felt lazy. Generally, though, I was cool with it until the CPR scene -- TV shows never get that stuff right (I know, I'm married to a doctor who can't shut up about it) but that was egregious even for TV. And yeah, why was the Doctor just sitting there biting his knuckles?
I loved Pirate Pond too. But I kind of missed River -- never thought I'd say that!
River really adds something to the dynamic, I think. I really like her, though I don't know how well it would work if she was full-time.
I completely forgot to mention the part where the Doctor conflates bacteria and viruses. Argh! That is my berserk button right there. I must have blocked it out.
