Frankly, while I enjoyed the episode, I had some troubles with a few points with the plot. The one I was the most annoyed by was the fact that when first entering the space-ship, the doctor is able to throw something through the window which lands on the boat, despite there being no reflective surface on the deck of the ship
The props for the jewelry were subpar, normally something which I'd be okay with, but in this ep, they were clearly not reflective.
Some dude vanished. Poor soul.
Amy does about a minute of cpr at the ending before giving up. This despite Rory having lain in the water for less than a minute before getting picked up by the siren. This means he has more than 5 minutes left before he'd start taking notable brain damage (2 minutes of air and then 3 minutes before notable brain damage).
The death-by-snot felt odd, because the aliens had an overactive nurse on board, which should have been able to either stasis them or cure them.
Also, i'm pretty sure the ship was not from an alternate universe, but just out of phase, quantum-linked, one second out of sync, dimensionally sunk, ethereal, post-material, one with the dreamworld or something else like that. Alternate universes are apparently hard to get to in DW nowadays, so probability suggests something else made it be in one place.

I loved the Siren idea, she looked really cool (kinda reminded me of the White Witch's appearance in Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader movie for some reason). Her face sure grew distorted when she was angry! Cool to see the pirates(apparently) in space in the end. Would be neat to see them again far down the line.
The eye-patch lady is very odd. But I'm trying not to guess who she is as I want to be completely surprised.
Next week looks like another winner!sigpic

I don't know about this episode it was ok I suppose.
The Best Line was when they first went into the sick bay.
Amy: Rory!
The Captain: Toby!
The Doctor: The TARDIS!
It kept me guessing all the way though.sigpic

Can't believe I haven't posted in here yet!
Not a bad episode, all in all. Hugh Bonneville seemed to be having fun playing a pirate, I liked the slight continuation of the idea that mirrors are gateways to other places that Family of Blood touched upon and the whole idea that the Siren wasn't evil but simply something good taken out of the context of her normal surroundings was an interesting and welcome development. Also, would I be right in saying that is another episode where 'everybody lives'?And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves. Eleven's hour is over now... the clock is striking Twelve's.

Did I miss something?
How did the Pirate and the boy (I think his son) get freed from the Nurse and the sick bay to fly the ship? I think it was the same ship the sick bay was in too wasn't it? How did they get free of the nurse?
Lily Cole was nice as the nurse too. I liked her angry faceGo home aliens, go home!!!!
