The episode felt a bit too much like filler - killing time so that no mystery can be solved too soon -, which can be great, but with so many question having been raised so far, I suspect this may have left the viewer feeling impatient and perhaps a little bored.
The second appearance of the behind-a-hatch, with-an-eye-patch lady was, for me certainly, the most interesting part of the episode. Who is this woman?
The theme of reflections and "mirror-universes" felt significant and relevant to the rest of series six, but how it is relevant remains unclear.Although I did enjoy parts, such as Amy dressing-up as a pirate and I know it was meant to be fun, but the plot of the episode felt a bit silly. And with minimal references to the overlying themes and mysteries I found myself becoming slightly bored at times.
The Curse of the Black Spot has not been my favorite episode of the series so far, but it was still a great (almost) hour of television.
