Doctor Who: Series 6: The Doctor's Wife
WARNING: PROBABLY DOESN'T CONTAIN SPOILERS!
Back again with more Doctor Who musings. Better late than never, eh? Skipping The Curse of the Black Spot, let's move swiftly onto the The Doctor's Wife. After all, I think it's probably best.
Well, this has been quite disorientating, huh? With three very distinct episode styles thrown at us thus far, Series 6 is turning into a bag of pick 'n' mix that's bigger on the inside.
First, there was the Moffat mind-blower; an opening two-part tour de force with more inexplicable mysteries than you could shake a moon landing at. Impossible astronaut? Dead Doctor? Creepy orphanage? Regenerating girl? What's going on?! Bless Steven Moffat for thinking that any newcomers could possibly join in at this point. N'yaaaww.
And then there was Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Spot.

And while we're on the subject, I swear some of the peripheral pirate characters just seemed to disappear partway through...
