[TimeLord]

Matt Smith gets fried in the chair.

Turns into Tom Baker (reverse regenerating....somehow)

Tom Baker breaks those locks, takes a Roman cloak, turns it into a scarf...somehow

Tom Baker then kicks Rory, and tells him to grow a pair...somehow.

Several hundred, I am enjoying your style though!

Any questions?

Yes. Are you perchance a fan of Tom Baker? (I kid, that would be rather spectacular to watch).

 

[Outlaw Torn]

I almost thought for a minute that the Daleks came out of the box and I was like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

That's what I thought to, then thought 'haven't they already done that (counting in head) half a dozen times or something?'. I kind of lost track of how many times the Daleks have been 'brought back' and just how many things appear to be crammed full of Daleks. I imagine that my shoes probably have a couple of Daleks in them, they just get caught in the treads.

I kind of figured out the ending a couple of minutes in, it was pretty obvious when you think about it but I couldn't work out how the TARDIS unpleasantness would fit in to it all (which it turns out never actually happens anyway). One more week to go then.

Of course I have questions!!

What colour is his scarf?

[HEADING=3]"So I return to my command after one week and discover we've been playing host to Cleopatra, who's in Egypt... and dead!"[/HEADING]
Quality delivery by that actor.

 

[Paddin]

This was truly the greatest episode for quotes and moving avatars ever.

My favourite part was when The Doctor finally realised he was talking to Rory and he was like "Rory? How are you doing? ....."

And in that speechless part just throws his hands up at him like "what the fuck?!"

rofl. It has to be the best acting from people who end up being plastic fakes XP

 

[PureChaos]

most of the episode was OK, the last 10 minutes where it all came together was brilliant

How did you guess? I've actually managed to convince myself that it could actually happen xD

 

[Shemming]

It would have been awesome if Chuck Norris came out of the box.

The colour of awesome. Not visible to the naked eye.

The amount of times The Doctor says something along the lines of "but I destroyed all daleks in existance. Thats impossible!"

Also it always gets to me the look of horror he has on his face when he sees them. I mean, come on.. Its hardly a horrifying surprise anymore

For the record, they've 'come back' a total of four times in the new series(not including this one), those being:

http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Army_of_Ghosts
http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Daleks_in_Manhattan
http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Stolen_Earth

So they've actually came back once per series. Make of that what you will

 

[Chipperz]

I can see I'm near alone in hating it.

Yep.

Aren't you edgy.

Anyway, I predict that this man shall save the day

Not quite, but a certain Vortex Manipulator of his that was recently aquired by a certain other person could certainly bail said character out of a certain near death experiance.

THEORY TIME!; River uses the Vortex Manipulator to escape the TARDIS before it blows and travels back to the Pandorica, where she and Rory help bust the Doctor out. Then there is Universe Saving... somehow!

Also the whole thing has been a plot by Davros who hacked the TARDIS to make it explode and rallied the universe against the Doctor in order to make sure it explodes.

My current theory is similar - I reckon the Vortex Manipulator is Jack's. It was broken by the Doctor, but that doesn't mean it couldn't get fixed in the future, only to have him lose his arm with the Manipulator attached.

This could then lead to Jack getting summoned by a "bio matrix scanner identifier thingy" (They don't ever get technical in Doctor Who, so why should I? ) that grabs Jack from the nearest available timestream - ie, the same date, and teleports him from Cardiff to the TARDIS, where he can use his infinite undead powers to somehow shut it down. I forsee wibbly wobbly time-y wime-y science. Or him taking the blast long enough to hold it - it might be absorbing the power that turns him into the Face of Boe? Either way, with Jack in as a "Fixed Point", he can rescue the Doctor, they can stop the TARDIS from ever exploding, and therefore reset history so that Rory and Amy never died.

Or Amy gains some power to manipulate the time streams by remembering something removed from time and uses that to save herself, ressurect Rory and get the Doctor out to save the day. They like their deus ex machina in this series, but I can't complain 'cos it's very entertaining.

To be honest guys and gals, I saw all of that episode coming. Within the first ten minutes I'd outlined all the major plot points that turned up over the next forty (except the android romans), and wasn't proved wrong.

I hope they come up with something less obvious for the conclusion, because I was expecting a belter of a final episode, and so far it's kinda pedestrian.

All I can see when I read this is that bit in Futurama when the guy gets hit by a car and wakes up in a casino that is actually a plane with a gremlin on the wing destroying it but noone will believe him because he's actually Hitler and Eva Braun can't talk because she takes off her face and she's a mutant fly! bender's response to the whole thing; "Saw it coming"*

No. I call bullshit. There is no WAY you guessed that all the Doctor's enemies from the last five series teamed up and made up the legend of the Pandorica to trick him into coming to Stonehenge so they could trap him under it. I'd believe you if you guessed that the thing that was meant to be in the Pandorica was the Doctor, because they've made that abundantly obvious throughout the series, but don't try to pull that crap that you saw all that coming in the first ten minutes, because that is clearly a lie.

*I couldn't find the clip on Youtube. Funny scene though.

What about the series 1 episode "Dalek"?

[not_the_dm]

They're not

crappy 'thou shalt not meddle in time' laws

they are actual boundaries they're not like "oh don't go over 50mph" they're laws like the laws of phyisics are laws

May i point out time travel is also breaking the laws of physics?

Details, details....

Stephen Hawking said that time travel to the past wasn't possible. To the future on the other hand...


Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey!

I will admit that I don't see why time travel the past is impossible. All the energy that composes the matter in your body still exsists in all times, just in different arangements. I don't think it would be possible to trvel to before the big bang, as time didn't exsist then, assuming the big bng theory is correct, which seems likely given the data we have.

 

[Cowabungaa]

I was just thinking, this episode really reminded me of The Empire Strikes Back; everything's in the shitter and looking very very bleak. And coincidently, that's my favourite Star Wars movie.

Now here's to hoping that the following episode will not involve small, furry creatures saving the day.

Well, that was their debut in the revived series wasn't it? It was also probably the only come back of the Daleks that people actually wanted.
