I didn't really get the episode. So, the Mermaid doctor took them to the infirmary even though they only had a tiny scratch? And then she didn't know how to heal them so they had to stay there? But then at the end we saw them on the bridge of the ship so they weren't in the infirmary. If she couldn't heal them, doesn't that mean the kid would die soon?
I quite enjoyed the episode as a lightweight, escapade of the week type of DW. Matt Smith in particular gets better all the time.
Wasn't remotely convinced by dying!Rory and Amy's tears. I think we get that she loves him now although honestly, as a couple they don't remotely work for me. I don't believe in them or get a real sense that they would love each other except that they keep telling us it is so. And why revisit the pregnancy/not pregnancy scan scene from the previous episode? Are they going to end EVERY episode this season that way, with the Dr wondering what's going on in Amy's womb?!
Really liked the creepy insert we got of the woman gazing through the door at Amy - nice continuity. I expect she's going to pop up every week!
Loved Hugh Bonneville in this - he's such a class act.
