Doctor Who: Episode 12: The Pandorica Opens (Spoilers)

[TimeLord]

In relation to the cybermen logo (too many quotes to fit!) I swear that in the first trailer after the first episode in this season I saw a stylized cyberman head in place of the Cybus logo...can anyone confirm or deny that?

I can confirm you did indeed say that. Probably in the Group

 

[Plinglebob]

Just skimming through the episode again, and there are a couple of things I'm not sure I like or not.

1) The bit at the begining where we do a jump through various people the Doctor has interracted with this series. I liked the idea, but I felt with was a little cheesy. The picture was quite nice though.
2) The Cybermen. Bit they were the Alternate Universe modal.

Things I liked:
Rory - After Martha and Rose treating the people they left at home a bit like crap, I liked that Rory was portrayed as a decent guy that Amy really loved and I was so glad about that and REALLY PISSED when they killed him. Even though he's fake, its still good he's back.

River - I've always liked her because, like Rory, she's a different kind of companion and someone whos a bit genre-savvy and playful rather then wide-eyed and sarcastic. I loved the message she left from the dawn of time.

The Doctor - Matt Smith has now sealed his place as the best Doctor since Baker. His timing is spot on and even though Tennent could go from happy to angry easily, I felt he went a little too far. Matt, on the other hand, feels a bit more like he's just holding back. Also, his bit about noticing things was very funny.

The plot - I was banging my head against the desk as penence for not seeing the end coming. They got you thinking when it was pointed out that Amy doesn't make sense and from that I should have got it quicker. The only thing I don't like is that Moff amy have written himself into a corner and wwill use an RTD escape, but I live in hope.

Role on next week.

EDIT:

Does anyone else think that this:

?There was a goblin. Or a trickster, or a warrior. A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. Nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it ? one day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.?

Sound incredibly like the Doctor and the TARDIS?

I did in last weeks chat.

Anybody else think the ultimate big bad of this season could be Omega?

Spoiler: Omega

Unlikely. He did state that everyone was scared of it, and the last thing mentioned that everyone was scared off was either

Spoiler

Squuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeee!

or

Spoiler

Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!

But what about

Spoiler: The most dangerous person in the Universe

Just thought of something. It's a bit convoluted and incredibly geeky, but stick with me.

It's been suggested that the Doctor stole the TARDIS from Gallifrey rather than getting it by any "official" means, so it's possible that it was another Timelord's before his. And due to the infinate size inside the TARDIS it's possible that there are areas he's never even been or aware of. In these areas could be a secret Big Bad who the Doctor was unaware of, which may have been biding his/her/it's time until he/she/it could make "silence fall" and orchestrated the whole alliance.

1)YES!
2) Have a sconce up the page there for a solid theory.

 

[TimeLord]

I must say, you are quite the retard.

Oi, watch your language in my thread!

 

[PoliceBox63]

Ending made me say What. The. Fack.

How can they come back from

Spoiler

every single star supernova'ing destroying the whole of existance?

Also, what did the stone wall infront of the TARDIS door mean?

1.It has not happened yet, they are trying to stop it.

2. The tardis lands in front of a wall from time to time, and you can turn around, but river song did not have enough time to turn round, so she is supposedly dead.

I must say, you are quite the retard.

It clearly happened ages ago seeing as light does not travel at an instant speed. For all those stars to go out they must have all nova'd millions of years ago and yes we zoomed up from amy so it did happen. An we're still in the past wtf you guys :O

Meant to say "Bit of a pity they were the Alternative Universe modal.

Yes, the Doctor's TARDIS was stolen, but it is an older model to what other Time Lords used. I always assumed that The Doctor's TARDIS was put out of action in replacement for the newer models, and so The Doctor stole it when it did not have an owner. Otherwise, seeming its a living being, surely it would have rejected The Doctor in favour for its previous owner.

 

[SnipErlite]

I had £50 riding on Samuel Jackson coming out of the box..shit.

I was betting Eccleston would be in there, or Tennant. Now THAT would be cool

I half guessed that The Doctor would be in he Pandorica, although I hoped an incarnation would come out of it, not him going in 0_O

The plot thickens....

That's... Actually a very interesting theory. I doubt it's so - the Old Series references are few and far between - but it'd certainly be a great reveal.

Just to point out but the cracks are throughout TIME and SPACE. As a result everyTHING is being destroyed at every TIME.

Please tell me you are being sarcastic. I really don't want someone insulting me right now. I will now justify myself. Right at the end of the episode, you saw loads of explsions going off around the Earth. Logic tells us that would be the stars supanovuh'ing. However I must say, I was a bit stupid on the second point, because as a person I sometimes over-analyse things, looking in too deep for a meaning, and missin out the simplest solution.

OCCAM'S RAZUR.

We cleared now?

The creatures in Vampires in Venice escaped "through" a crack to get to Venice!

Maybe in a few more incarnations.

 

[Spacewolf]

dunno seemed rather predictable and boring to me no intrigue just oblviouness on the part of the characters
