I always find this one decent, though as you say also a bit out of place... not just because it really was (it was switched with The Curse of the Black Spot in the running order quite late on) but because it just doesn't really feel like anything else within Series 6. That also being said though, there is a strong parenthood theme that seems to run through this series, and this is the fourth father-son dynamic explored in Series 6 at this point (Kazran and his father in A Christmas Carol, Avery and his son in Black Spot, and the father wanting to get home to his son in The Almost People, all before this). It's just about interesting and creepy enough to hold together, though arguably less ambitious than most of the stories in this particular series. I also never noticed before that the Amy voiceover at the start of the episodes actually carried on into the back half of Series 6... it was never used in British broadcasts at all, and always takes me by surprise!

As the poster Josh mentioned this one got moved, I always think thats a shame as theres a couple of little teases that would have been fun to have got on a rewatch- first they put Amy in a dress which seems deliberetly ambigous as to whether she looks slightly pregnant or not, especially notciable at the end when she and Rory exit the lift, and then of course the Doctors line at the end of 'good to see you in the flesh' being a hint that he has already got his suspcions before going to see the Flesh. Moved to after all those events these little touches are now lost as having significiance, and thats a pity. I think they felt the opening run needed a lighter episode to balance it out rather than another one with creepy aspects, and Curse of the Black Spot more fitted that. But personally I'd rather have seen where it was originally intended. Anf fun to speculate, if it had been where Black Spot now is, then it would have had a Amy sees eye-patch lady moment, where would have it gone? Also in Black Spot at least one character simply disappears without seeing what happened to them, I'd guess this was cut to make room for the added on ending in the TARDIS to make it fit the narrative at that point. Another reason I'd prefer for them not to have switched these two episodes around.
