    And these two timelines of the doctors (RED and BLUE) are pressed together, but are cracking apart. In one timeline there is no duckpond, in the other there is. So the amalgam is a duckpond with no ducks.

    I think it all has to do with the two doctors. All along we have been watching two Matt Smitch Doctors. One with a RED bow tie, and one with a BLUE bow tie. Go back and watch and you will see. And the dream lord was not evil, it was the Doctors subconscious trying to tell him there are two timelines. Watch that episode again. One time line is the RED bowtie doctor, one is the BLUE bowtie doctor.

    Also note that Amy does not have a mum or dad, just an aunt. And we have never seen the aunt. But her Mum have her an apple with a smile on the skin of it that looks just like a crack on the skin of the universe.

    And Amy and River have the exact same watch.

    My theory.

    The Doctor is the most-feared being in the cosmos. His enemies (they all appear in the finale) fear him, the Time Lords fear him. So I would say that the Pandorica is a maximum-security prison and the Doctor will get trapped in it (series cliffhanger). Some possible clues are:

    In The Eleventh Hour, Prisoner Zero says “The Doctor and the Tardis doesn’t know what caused the cracks”. We now know that the Tardis is involved in the big-bang explosion, so how did Prisoner Zero know this ? Prisoner Zero had escaped from an unnamed PRISON – was it the Pandorica ?

    In Flesh and Stone River Song tells the Doctor that she killed a man, “the best man she ever knew”, to which the Doctor replies “Who ?”. She also told the Doctor they would meet again when the Pandorica opens, so is she involved in imprisoning him and believes she killed him in the process ?

    Also one last thought – if Rory was erased from time, why does the engagement ring still exist ?

    i think that the pandorica is the alien from the begining of the univers and the crack was created by the big bang at the begining of the univers beacaus the doctor said that the crack was created by a powerful explosion

    I think the tardis creates the crack in some soon to come episode which the master bumps into on galifray. The master now inside the crack takes controll (with being the most powerfull being taken by the silence) of all the other things swallowed by the crack. Meaning the master’s in the pandorica.

    Has nobody figured what is inside the pandorcia? well I’ll give you a clue, he wears a bow tie, and he is the most feared being in the universe. and he’s not already in there he is going to be put inside it by all the things that hate him.

    I like DoctorWhoNerds theorey about the date on Rorys issue card. That could be why Amy can’t remember. The only thing is why would they travel in time? I’ve also heard that rumor and I think it could be what happens. I would love it if it did and I’ve seen those pictures of Rory too! I want Rory back :’)and finaly it doesn’t have anything to do with Pandoras Box does it? Hmmm….

    I’ve heard a rumor that it’s Rory and everyone else who was absorbed by the crack inside the Pandorica. That would, I suppose, make a bit of sense as they might have been ‘soaked in the blood of a million galaxys’ because they have been erased by time. Another reason it could refer to Rory is because he was seen as a Roman warrior in the pictures that havn’t yet been released by the BBC. Anyway tell me what you think. I personaly think that the rumor could be true as Rory is deffinately returning (due to the pictures seen and why else would they keep refering back to him? The 10th Doctor and Rose never refered back to Mickey after he stayed in the Parallel Universe and he was still alive!)and it would make sense. I also like the idea of the Doctor being inside the Pandorica as well and also the fact that Amy can’t remember the Daleks or anything could have something to do with Rory’s odd issue date for his nurse name tag. I don’t know, it’s very confusing….

    I’ve looked at several spoilers and episode guides, the weevils from Torchwood are there, the silurions, the nestene (Christopher Eccleston Series) and several others like daleks, cybermen, sontarons, Van gogh leaves a warning for the Doctor in a painting, type in “the pandorica opens” on google, some good sites, especially Dr Who wiki! 19th of June is also my birthday!!! Happy Time Travelling!

    I think that it is very stupid of the writers to set ep. 4 and 5 after this episode because now we know that riversong won’t die and Karen Gillan said she will return for series 6 and Matt smith is also staying and Matt smith is 1,000,000X better than david Tennant

    This has to be the best way to end Matt Smiths 1st series outing the doctor! To add to the fact that the crocked smile would have to be the best story arc ever! The cybermen, Autons, Slitheen, Daleks, Sontarans and many more a re returning makes it even better. On top of that, IT’S WRITTEN BY STEVEN MOFFAT!!!!!! The best writer for Doctor Who ever! Just hoping Amy dosen’t die or leave the TARDIS!
