Fortunately, I didn't watch this episode to review it, as I don't have enough time today, so I am relying on the synopsis on Wikipedia!
Now I thought this story was alright. The plot was great. The TARDIS lands aboard a 17th-century pirate ship stranded in the middle of a calm ocean. The ship's crew have been terrorised by a Siren-like creature. It was fantastic. Until the crew went through into the Siren's hospital thing. We found out that she's a good creature and it wants to help people!
Hugh Bonneville was easily the best though. His casting was great, and played Henry brilliantly. His voice is great, and really suited the part.
In that last bit, I was screaming at the TV, things like kill Rory forever, and Kill Amy off instead, but when Rory woke up because of CPR, it was unrealistic. If you perform CPR on somebody, it just kepps them alive for a little longer. They still need their heart to be shocked to really kind of wake them up completely. Don't ask me, my strong point in science isn't biology, but chemistry.
It's nice that Henry goes off with his son at the end, and nice that they return for a cameo in a few episodes time, but it doesn't make up for the rest of the shite in the story.
Overall, I know this was a very short review, but that's all I really want to say, and I am constantly thinking up new words to make it look slightly longer, just like I am doing now. And now. And now. So I give this a 5/10, due to an appalling ending. I believe my next review is The Keeper of Traken or The Sound of Drums trilogy, which should be here tomorrow.
