    i like the idea of amy not being human also she may have been change more than realised by the angel that was in her head,
    we know the cracks lead to different time zones because the doctor has found them all over time but they must have originated from the same place, so maybe the doc will get out of the box enter a crack and be taken to the exact time when the tardis explodes and stops it somehow
    thats possible

    Pandora’s B i’m sure the Doctor said that the angels feed on time energy this could be why they didn’t fall out of existance also the doctor did stick his hand in a crack and nothin happened to him so maybe ppl involve with the time vortex directly are not effected in the same way

    maybe all cracks are not leading to the same time etc and maybe amy is not human sarah jain son and tht girl on the libary ep if she was rigged to a big enough computer could explain how her memoirse so powerful and can explain why rory became a auton 0r maybe the doctor/dream lord move his mind or meomys into the atuon which ofc would had to have been after he gt locked up so it can loop each time

    well creedence in one of my earlier posts i did theorise about a paradox event think of it this way,

    The Tardis destroys existance
    If existance never happens the Tardis was never made hence it can’t destroy existance
    everything reverts back to the beggining of time, (The Big Bang)

    It could be Timothy Dalton and Timelord”ish” crew orchestrating all this from their void exile – blow up the universe and all their nasty enemies (and everything good in the universe as well) . They can then leave the void and build a new Timelord universe out of the ashes of the old one. The Time War and being lock up in the void has made them as nutty as the Daleks and many time more dangerous.

    I’ve just thought, if the angels fell into the crack, how come they didn’t fall out of existence, nobody forgot them. That can’t have been all of them that fell into the crack then, so a return in episode 13?

  • Creedence

    June 20th, 2010 - 11:13pm

    if the tarids is the crack rory sacfiing him slef blowing up the tardis could close it if its im ofc

    in the first ep he said a few things to amy here are a few

    Do everything I tell you, don’t ask stupid questions and don’t wander off.

    Trust me, I’m the Doctor.

    Everything’s fine.

    The way to close a crack is to open it completely. Then the forces released make it snap shut again.

    or….

    Beans are evil. Bad,bad beans. lol

    17:20 – Doctor leaves (no jacket)
    18:02 – Doctor comes back (with jacket)and tells Amy to remember

    Doctor coming back along his timeline to reinvent himself in Amy’s memories created by the alliance in ep12?

    Question is, what does he mean by what he said to her when she was little? I just can’t remember.

    if the pandorica has a time lock the doctor want age at all just think of gallifrey there all stuck at one point in time never ageing never dying just stuck in limbo

  • TheCultOfSkaro

    June 20th, 2010 - 10:52pm

    i really dont think the other tardis is a future version of the docs because we know the tardis is telepathic and the doctor is against violence so it wouldn’t of killed 16 ppl tryin to find a pilot,

    i agree that river could know so much due to the doctor sharin his mind but then surely she would of known wot the angels where and the living shadows from the library

    Now as with Jack i think the tardis can sense that Amy is a significant mistake in the time line that could explain its willingness to get away from her,

    sorry im late ^^ good to see u still posting cult right even if the doctor did regrenerat he would still be stuck there – there will must likely do a touchwood buried jack in the past and when jack went there unlocked him from inside tht touchwood container but unlike jack the doctor will age faster this could explain how i think in the libary epsoide she makes a quote about his looks how he looks like how he should but his eyes are to old i think….what if he ages in the paradona i dont mean like 100 years older but like 2-3 maybe 5 as his age is slowed down thats if the pandora dont stop him aging completey also about river we forgot something- what time/era is river actuly from? the doctor likes his companion in the present and would u think he get a perment companion like rose or donna was from like the preseent but if u have notice the younger he gets the younger his companion looks tht there might be just my eyes also i see u are intriged with lodger so hes to more puzzsles.

    1. why did the tardis trap amy inside it( before u say it needs something in it to work actuly what bout the christmas specail with the rangork i think it is well DAVID TENNETS DEBUT he virtural somen it to its self).

    2. why dose the tardis have a hard time re-miltiesingise when amy is around look at kid amy he said it take him like 2secs turned out to be like something like 20years. Once is a unlucky happening but twice something is wrong there . But then again it only has tht problem in the present time zone dont it.

    Also one thing your forgeting rive might have the doctors memoreys because he gived her them well shared them the doctor wants some companionship which wont leave him and with river she can be tht person as she no so much about him…maybe he does what he did to james corden and david tennet with elizberth oh yeah or maybe the timestamp thingys ^^

    ofc i have my ideas on the lodger wannbi tardis but has anyone thought it was matt smiths tardis rebuilding its self could explain why its takki oh and the old man could off in fact been the doctor… and again like the red hair aunty dissapered so anything dont conflicks with each other…

    Yes it could also explain why it was acting on its own accord maybe seaching for the doctor or someone which has travled with him so it can resume building… as i recall the machine scanned the james right but if i recall he had the doctors memories inside him a human memory is not as complex as a timeloads so james should been able to give it strick straigh forward comands while the doctor cant interfeae with it anyone no why….? his tardis (omg how far featch did this one even sounded lol)

    the little girl will save the doctor cause she believes

    cleverrr!, i still hope the part about the museum happens

  • TheCultOfSkaro

    Fish at the beggining of ep 12 river is in prison in the 51st century so she could in effect kill some one in ep 13 as she now is the 21st or 150ad so i’m assuming she has been arrested by time agents

  • Stedders

    The Romans are Autons controlled by the nestene consciousness, and in the episode “Rose” they needed a live person to copy or host – maybe a sign that Rory (and the romans) is/are alive?

    Also near the end of the first episode little Amelia looks to the sky and the tardis is heard landing – this is just after he leaves to try out his new tardis. So does the tardis return to little Amelia’s time to make her remember or tell her something . -Which means she knows all along what might happen one day and has been acting?

  • mattsmith(LL)/pond

    June 20th, 2010 - 10:15pm

    i thought that!!!
    i actully cannot think of who she kills.

  • Fish

    June 20th, 2010 - 10:08pm

    If River is in prison at the beginning of episode 12, then surely that means she has already killed whoever she kills, so that rules out killing someone in ep. 13.

  • mattsmith(LL)/pond

    June 20th, 2010 - 10:05pm

    ahh i feel pretty sorry for him, he will be bored and he has no patinets

  • TheCultOfSkaro

    June 20th, 2010 - 10:04pm

    because the pandorica has a time lock the doctor would be trapped in a single point in time so wouldn’t need to regenarate

  • mattsmith(LL)/pond

    June 20th, 2010 - 10:01pm

    yeah,
    it is omega

  • mattsmith(LL)/pond

    June 20th, 2010 - 9:56pm

    could the doctor regenerate inside the pandorica x

  • TheCultOfSkaro

    June 20th, 2010 - 9:54pm

    she must use the vortex manipulater she aquired from the blue thing at the beggining of last nights ep,

  • mattsmith(LL)/pond

    June 20th, 2010 - 9:51pm

    could be, i wanna no how river song gets back maybe she teleports

  • TheCultOfSkaro

    June 20th, 2010 - 9:42pm

    i really think theres some sort of higher power controling the Tardis maybe Omega,
    or the other tardis did something to it in the lodger which has made it controlable by a 3rd party outside the tardis we havn’t seen yet

  • mattsmith(LL)/pond

    June 20th, 2010 - 9:36pm

    cause it landed inside a rock, and then it started to blow up

  • TheCultOfSkaro

    June 20th, 2010 - 9:32pm

    The Rock thing baffled me i dont think it blew up because the doctor was locked away, it has more to do with amys weddin day because really the two dates are canny far apart the tardis took River to that date so maybe whoever or whatever was controlling it made tardis sink into the earth as a last attempt to stop anything from stoppin the explosion

  • mattsmith(LL)/pond

    June 20th, 2010 - 9:31pm

    does anyone no why the tardis landed in a rock

  • TheCultOfSkaro

    June 20th, 2010 - 9:28pm

    thats a hard one stedders the only explanation i can think of is because the “Time Explosion” if you can call it that is resonating from the earth the universe is collapsing in on it so the earth would be the last to go
