There were many things I enjoyed about this program. Mainly, the storyline. It was very slow, which I usually don\'t care for, but most sea-faring tales I can recall seem to take their time in leaving port, so to speak.

Conan Doyle creates another mythic landscape with this tale - one I had not been aware of prior. I am so used to the whole Sherlock Holmes settings, that this was in such contrast to Hound of the Baskervilles, and the rest.

Among the other things that struck me well with this tale was the consideration of sound editing. I just love when you tap into one of these programs to discover that someone, whether it was H.Brown or someone else, had paid the mind to put special attention on what was going on behind the main characters. In most cases, this tale allowed me the opportunity to feel as though I were on that boat. Wonderful escapism!

Lastly, the acting, as is typical, was superb, though the Captain\'s voice did often make me frown.

On the down side, it was again, quite slow moving. I had the patience, so it didn\'t cause me annoyance or anything, but it was noticeable. The only other thing that got me to \"snap\" out of my immersion was the sound of the spectral woman. In part because I didn\'t expect it and in part also because the teaser at the start of the show suggested a polar bear, the effect of the moaning woman struck me peculiar. I wasn\'t sold on it immediately. Once it was in there, it became elemental; but upon introduction, it sounded odd... out of place. &nbsp;A very unique episode for sure!<br>
