Doctor Who/Recap/S32/E03 The Curse of the Black Spot: Difference between revisions

** Near the start of the episode, the Doctor asks Amy what she thinks she is doing and she replies "Saving your life." This may be a [[Call Back]] to The Impossible Astronaut.

* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: A ship is a ship.

* [[Compensating for Something]]: The pirate's guns, according to the Doctor.

* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: Despite the fact there is no possible way to do so given the situation, [[Cloudcuckoolander|the Doctor]] is less concerned about walking the plank and more concerned that the pirates aren't doing enough evil laughing as he walks the plank.

** Combining the above two, the black spot may also be a reference to the spot Jack Sparrow gets on his hand in ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]: Dead Man's Chest''.

** The story line of a son refusing to believe that his missing father was in fact a pirate and not a law-abiding man recalls Will Turner and his father Bootstrap Bill from POTC.

** {{spoiler|The Siren}} is a virtual doctor similar to the EMH in ''[[Star Trek]]: [[Star Trek: Voyager|Voyager]]''.

* [[Sirens Are Mermaids]]: This is actually one of the least mermaid-like sirens around, although the Doctor calls it a mermaid in passing at one point.
