    to everyonw who said anything about the doctors companions from series 1 to 4 are not returning as the new head of Doctor Who said that he was not bringing back companions that Russel t davies created

    but anway

    the lodger was agreat episode they should make a craig owens figure but the episode was brilliant i really like when the doctor head buts craig and pases info on to him that was 1 of the best things in doctor who ever!

    and

    the pandorica opens will be one of the best final parter episodes ever to be in doctor who the cybermen daleks sontarans ect etc dont know what way it is but this is gonna be brilliant i hpoe we get to see the actual aliens and not just there ships

    What is particularly interesting is the destruction of the TARDIS – which assuredly cannot be allowed to happen, since this is the only TARDIS (we know of) to be in existence.

    I reckon because in Series 4 not only did we have Daleks in the finale we also had Sarah Jane, Rose, Martha, Harriet Jones, Captain Jack etc.
    I reckon this year is the opposite with more foes than friends and I think the Rani is inside

    the doctor must have as many enimies in the universe as friends, and to his enimies point of view, he is the most evil thing in the universe, that saying, ‘it contains the most feared bieng in the cosmos’ or whatever may have been written/said by one of his enimies.

    Its got to be The Doctor thats in the Pandorica. Possibly, maybe the real Doctor was imprisoned and put in there at some point during the eleventh hour and then the doctor that has been throughout the series is a future/alternate doctor. The cracks may be the doctors escape attempt from the Pandorica trying to get out. Just some throughts, fanale looks brill tho.

    I think loads of enemys will come out and omega will be in the pandirica, It makes sense cos it says he was like kicked out and a joker and all and if u listen 2 the trailer it says that it is the trickster from sarah jane (who is a main in the a–)
    I hope it rules!

    The Lodger melds into Pandorica because one of the Roman soldiers is credited as being in Saturdays episode.

    Just one word – Valeyard. I think the Dream Lord was the Valeyard attempting to imprint himself upon our reality.

    The Cybermen make an appearance at some point in the series, probably in The Lodger. The events in the finale seem way beyond them.

    I’ll bet anyone who has been sucked into the crack will be in there. They keep making references to Rory, if he wasn’t coming back I don’t think they would keep mentioning him.
    Also, what happened to the wedding ring, did the doctor get rid of it, or is it still in the tardis?

    Not sure if this has been said already…buuuttttt…in regards to the pandorica holding the most dangerous threat(s) in the universe…could it be that the Doctor himself is the biggest threat in the universe and when he reached into the time crack he was (obviously) seeing what is to come and (as a theory) he will become the prisoner inside the pandorica…or something like that. The reason I thought this is because he has been a bit ‘dark’ at times in this series and there has been a lot of suffering and mistake made by him as this series has gone on. Also in one episode he says “No there afraid of me” referring to his enemies etc fearing him. So to me it would be logical for them to imprison him or kill him for good…just food for thought

    i reckon everything that has been eaten up in the crack will be in the pandorica and amy will get stuck in there with rory. Maybe river song will go in the tardis with the dr. cant wait until the finally. Also the lodger looks good.

    i think it is the cybermen because in the trailers it was the cybermen
    but they havent been on yet well the not in the lodger episode the big bang and the pandorica opens. and the crack leeds to them river song is back
    but i think evryone missis ROSE TYLER and MARTHA JONES they were the best so far so is AMY POND.

    I thought we were supposed to interpret the woman in “The End of Time” episodes as the doctor’s mother. In any case, she wasn’t nearly important enough to that series to come back again.
    I would love to see another episode with more than one regeneration (like “The Five Doctors” in the old series). The Pandorica seems like a good excuse to have them come back, no?

    If you look at some bits of the serise You will see that we have seen Two Matt Smiths! Also regarding “whovian addict” chat regarding the woman looking at David Tennant with Rassalon? did you look at the chap who was next to her who didn’t show his face? If you got it have a look.. he looks remarkably like Matt! If it isn’t the doctor’s tardis the crack is from another univerce so could it be another doctor? Can’t wait!
