I think this episode is alright. There are a lot of reviews that call it forgettable or the worst in the season, but it's really not that bad. It's fun filler! It doesn't need to have some big purpose or meaning. Maybe I am swayed by nostalgia because I loved it when I was younger, but I really do think it's a fine episode. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it's an episode about pirates being stalked by a siren doctor in a show about an alien with a time machine.. it's not going to be perfect. It has plenty of fun adventure, funny dialogue, and alien nonsense near the end. Overall this episode doesn't deserve nearly as much of the hate as it seems to get.
