Samuel and Jacob set sail into Series 6 with The Curse of the Black Spot. They discuss the episode’s evolving mystery, the clever reveal behind the Siren, Hugh Bonneville’s performance as Captain Avery, and why this well-constructed adventure works better as a mystery than as a full-fledged pirate story.

Episode Highlights:

Why the story is enjoyable, but less memorable than the surrounding episodes.

The Doctor repeatedly revises his theories as new clues emerge.

The Siren’s true purpose turns the apparent monster into a healer.

Hugh Bonneville brings intelligence and authority to Captain Avery.

Amy’s sword fight includes some clever visual foreshadowing.

The episode’s darker moments sometimes clash with its playful pirate tone.
