Was that wannabe TARDIS actually explained at all, or was it just me missing something huge?
No way in hell was it really a TARDIS in progress. It just had a perception filter on. Sure afterwards when you see the ship implode it's not bigger on the inside (correct me if I'm wrong)
I believe you are wrong. Matt Smith says that it is someone attempt at a TARDIS
Isn't it in some way just an attempt at mimicking a TARDIS, because if I remember rightly TARDISes have some kind of proper sentience, so you couldn't really replicate it?

i hope they ditch the whole mighty morphing power daleks thing.
Trust me, it's not that bad, in City of the Daleks you pretty much only see red ones, so I assume the series will have mostly red ones too, maybe an engineer or a strategist thrown in the background.

I know you are joking but I can still poke a hole in your comment that River Song dies human. That would mean she would have to go from Time Lord to Human to Time Lord to Human then die. I doubt that
And if RTD was still in charge, I'd be straight down the bookies to place a bet :)
"you know what we do right? we say that the pandorica is the Container of the order of reality right, and the crack is because of the time war timelords sneaking out from last series right so then the doctor has to deal with a really big event... what can we do to make it better.... oh I know let's bring back all the companions and it takes them all to save the day but not before the whole universe gets turned into a copry of the doctor right and then we'll throw in some daleks and wow just wow it'll be so exciting. and put in some gay references coz I am gay like, I am russel t davies there isn't actually a t I just made that up coz my name is shit right."

btw I've nothing against gays

The Red Daleks are "Drones" so it makes sense

Although the sequence with the Doctor playing football was quite cheesy.
I thought it was a nice touch. After all, the 5th Doctor got to play cricket.

A fairly weak episode and not just due to Sir James Corden, but for the fact the writing was on the whole mediocre.

I think the lets get the Doctor to do and say stupid things (football scene, headbutt scene etc.) dominated the episode too much. I guess the variety in writers can cause some discrepency in the character of the Doctor at times. The ending had no coherency either.

And finally not enough Amy Pond!

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Amy is meant for Rory. Can't have the Doctor messing about with that, what with his and River's impending/prior nuptuals.

Pfft, Amy clearly wants the Doctor, do you not remember her lunging on him?
Besides, Rory never existed anymore remember... Wow, that sentence hurts my brain. Also why do we all assume that River was definitely his wife, people lie all the time

And Stephen Moffat said that River wasn't who we thought she was, but she probably isn't Amy.

Loved this episode, it was one of my favourites of the series despite the hideous Corden infestation. The writing just seemed to crackle in a way it hasn't for a few episodes, and putting all the focus on Matt Smith really let him shine. I await the 2 part finale with bated breath, it appears like an enormous fanwank with every single character from the rejuvenated series meeting and BLOWING UP in SPACE.

Be great if it's just Tom Baker in the Pandorica..


Walks out, punches Matt Smith in the face. Then takes over as The Doctor from now on! :D
yes.. just YES! (and very YES to punching teenage skeletor in the face!)

here's hoping its not just some "weapon capable of destroying the universe" cop-out in there.
