Line 82:
** 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.
* [[Colour
* [[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.
Line 101:
* [[Full Name Ultimatum]]: The Doctor towards Amy, though in a slight subversion. He doesn't use her full three names but rather calls her by her full first name, Amelia, and it's not an intentional ultimatum. "You only call me Amelia when you're worrying about me."
* [[Genre Savvy]]: The Doctor while walking the plank.
* [[Good Colors, Evil Colors]]: When the Siren is happy and doing her "job", she looks like a beautiful glowing young woman, lit in green. As soon as someone interferes, she turns red and demonic.
* [[Historical Domain Character]]: Captain Avery.
* [[Implausible Fencing Powers]]: Amy is shown as being pretty deft with a sword, enough to hold off 4 dedicated pirates. {{spoiler|Justified somewhat in that said pirates are actually more terrified of the Siren than her, as getting even so much as a nick puts you in her sights}}.
Line 133:
* [[Troperiffic]]: According to [[Word of God]], you simply ''can't'' do a pirate story without using every single pirate trope there is, such as [[Walk the Plank]], [[Pirate Girl]], [[Pirate Booty]] and so on.
** Although, apparently [[Talk Like a Pirate|no-one says "Yo-ho-ho" any more]].
* [[Universal
** Considering the scene where the Captain was able to figure out the basics of how to pilot the TARDIS with just a glance, the audience is probably just supposed to take it that he's just that good a Captain.
** He figured out what a few of the instruments do. That's nothing like knowing how to pilot something -- just because someone can spot and know what the wheel, compass, and gyroscope of a plane do doesn't make him a qualified pilot.
* [[Unusual User Interface]]: To sign the consent form, place your hand in the golden ring.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: There were a quite a few pirates that just... vanish without explanation, such as the one Toby stabs.
** That particular pirate vanishing from a tiny locked room, no less. {{spoiler|Though as all the pirates are on the spaceship at the end of the episode, he was presumably zapped away off-screen at some point}}.
* [[Worst Aid]]: See CPR. It's highly unlikely CPR alone would rescue somebody who almost drowned. On top of that, whatever Amy is doing doesn't even resemble proper CPR. And it was [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|explained to her by a nurse!]]
