The Doctor, Amy and Rory land on board a Pirate ship, after some tomfoolery the Doctor and co witness what's been haunting the crew, a Siren summoned by any injury, big or small, that mesmerises her victim with her song, then destroys them upon touch.
Oh the imagination of this episode huge, I don't see lots of love for Curse of the Black Spot but I really liked it. It's not buried in complexities, you can watch it as a lone episode. I've always been intrigued by the Sirens of the Sea and Pirates, what an interesting tale. The music is possibly the best I remember in Nu Who, so bewitching and melodic, it fits! More beard jokes, can't be bad.
I especially loved Hugh Bonneville and Lee Ross's characters, they could have easily overdone it, but both restrained.
I struggle to see why there are so many negatives, I get it's a little bit of a fairy tale, no more so then then 2010's A Christmas Carol. It's a swashbuckling fun episode, that's easy for a new fan to watch, it's not bogged down in story arc or complicated plot. The ending is also very touching. 8/10
