    on a prev post i was sayin a do believe Amy could be some sort of invention of the Doc that he will make after the day is saved, sort of like how rose spread “Bad Wolf” through after defeatin the daleks in Chris Ecs last ep

    about the date thing if it isn’t in fact 150 ad then River would have to be involved in the trap because she left the co-ordinates on the cliff face for the Doctor

    did anyone realise that they never confirmed that it was ancient times, first he saidbrittan 2 30, no 2 30 in the afternoon, then he saw the romans and concluded it was ad. it could be around amys time even. and the romans were the living plastic ppl from the first episode of christopher eccelston arnt they? dosnt that mean that rory must be alive because they need a live person to copy like mickey. i think little Amy will save the day. and did anyone notice that the shadow running around the house that we presumed was prisoner zero in the first one was quite Matt Smith shaped. There is also the thing in every episode about fairytales, amelia pond, fairytale name, the poem in the beast below, etc etc. in every episode! its kinda come to a point with the fairytale pandorica and the fact the trap was made from amys mind, like a fairytale dream.
    And what was that about “amy dosnt it bother you that your life dosnt make any sence?”
    Oh and Moffat wont bring bak tennent or anyone from russle t davises majour plots like darvis or the dr 2.0. and if anyone ever brings rose bak i will stab them cause that has been done to death.
    also its possible he will just awnser a few questions and leave tonnes left over for the xmas special to awnser.
    One thing i know for sure is u cant realy predict moffat, i mean this is the man that wrote Jekyl AND Coupling! two things on opposite sides of the television spectrum! i have no idea what he is going to come up with next.

    Just started watching doctor who .. so i don’t have a strong understanding of the series. BUT….. I think this is the doings of the daleks. another trap!!The darleks gather all of the doctors enemies, get them to believe that the doctor is responsible for the cracks and will be responsible for the “end”. I even think amy was part of the trap as well even though she dosn’t know it. How could the doctor resist but to take on another traveler in his tardis. Amy seems a little strange to me. left home all alone, needs help with prisoner 0 in the house, can’t remember certain things that happened( not about Rory but about the daleks with churchill episode).If thats the case then A: the daleks have their time (doc out of the way ) and the bang won’t really happen or it will but the daleks have a way to escape.B: this is the end of doctor who 🙁 Iam hoping someone gets him out!!! Rory…Amy….DR.Song….The Bloody Queen….the docs daughter…his SCREWDRIVER!! And whats up with doc. song? “I’ll see you when Pandorica opens” (hint hint) Who did she kill? the doctor? she won’t say. Could she be part of the trap? Love Matt Smith and Karen Gillan . Hope they bring back Rory or just keep the robot 🙂 Iam looking forward to many many new episodes!!!

    gavin and staceys Joanna Page … Time Lady in final episode but also being credited in episode 12??? on imdb that is could be some kind of joke to fool people into thinking such crazy ideas of things to come but otherwise who is the time lady maybe the embodyment of the tardis heart after exploding which seeks out the keys players to help the doctor and set things straight?

    i like that theory if you read up on the Doctor its said that as far as Timelords go the Doctor barely made the grade so, So maybe not Rassilon himself but the Timelord council could have arranged for something else to be left on earth during the re entry stage on “The End Of Time” because for all the Doctors smart there are alot smarter in Gallifrey,

    i’m hoping to see more of the dreamlord and thats a nice approach to it but if it wasn’t the phsycic particles that caused this what event caused the Doctor to manifest such a worthy enemy,
    Bare in mind that the Dreamlord does have alot of traits of The Trickster so this could be his attack on the Doctor

  • DoctorDan

    June 21st, 2010 - 2:01am

    It was said The Valeyard was a dark incarnation, but The Dream Lord could be the mental manifestation while The Valeyard is the physical maifestation of The Doctor.

    Also, could the cracks be caused by the link being broken at The End of Time? Could Rassilon have had a Plan B after the Tenth Doctor broke the link? It may have been a fail-safe to make him choose the Earth or the whole universe. Just a thought.

    wouldn’t say a prev Doctor because in effect The present Doctor would of then already known,
    A future Doctor could have somethin to do with it tho,
    Now correct me if i’m wrong but The Valeyard is infact an evil future regenaration of the Doctor isnt he
    and as far as i’m aware the Dreamlord was just a effect caused by the physcic particles in the Tardis engine,
    Would like to see more off this charecter as i see alot of story potentual in someone who can essentually control the Doctors actions

  • DoctorDan

    June 21st, 2010 - 1:24am

    Could a previous incarnation of The Doctor play a role in this? Cult, makes sense about the ArchAngel. I’m wondering if The Dream Lord is The Valeyard?

  • Creedence

    June 21st, 2010 - 1:18am

    RW tht impossible as the doctor refuse to sovle things with volience

  • RWR142

    June 21st, 2010 - 1:16am

    Anyone imagined that the Pandorica is a/the TARDIS, and the Doc has organised the whole thing to bring his enemies together?

  • TheCultOfSkaro

    June 21st, 2010 - 12:57am

    drwhonu 1 i think thats in refference to the pandorica because if it is true that Amy will free the doctor as a child in the museum it would mean he’s been locked away for nearly a millenia
    Bound to change him drastically

    i dont remember the series or episode but it was david tennant when they took his blood sample and made his daughter to be a solider, well she survived at the end of the episode any chance she could have something to do with river knowing so much about the doctor and stuff ??

  • Creedence

    June 21st, 2010 - 12:49am

    maybe after this ep the matt will be following in his shoes not davids come on after the ending he had matt couldn help but be fallowin his susssecers shoes

    Hi, just watched
    Doctor Who Confidential ep 12. on timecode 1 min and 20 sec, the director says “its the death of the doctor or the doctor we know”.
    strange he should use those words. what do we make of that. check it on iplayer.

    i don’t know why the daleks have joined with anyone really they want to be a master race

    The Judoon however makes more sense than any of the others really as the Doctor has went against the Shadow Proclomation on many occasions he would in a sense be on the run from the Judoon

  • DoctorDan

    June 21st, 2010 - 12:33am

    Also, why would the Cyberman and Daleks conspire against The Doctor? In Doomsday, the Cyberman proposed an alliance, but the Daleks said no.

    Also, why would the Judoon help against The Doc? I thought they were space police and they wouldn’t help criminals like The Daleks.

    in theory couldn’t amy be something that the master has created hence she’s the connection, while he was makin the arch angel network he surely would of thought of a plan b

  • DoctorDan

    June 21st, 2010 - 12:26am

    I do like the earlier theory about the rest of the Timelords going off their rockers and trying to cause the cracks. Rassilon and the rest alomost escaped the time lock once. Maybe The Master found his way out or made a connection with The Doctor to have him appear at Pandorica.

  • TheCultOfSkaro

    June 21st, 2010 - 12:26am

    but while the master had the tardis it was restricted between the two points in time so this would have limeted what the master could have done with it

  • Creedence

    June 21st, 2010 - 12:21am

    dout it but he did have have the tardis for awhile

  • TheCultOfSkaro

    June 21st, 2010 - 12:20am

    Has the Pandorica been mentioned in any other series?
    i don’t think it has

  • TheCultOfSkaro

    June 21st, 2010 - 12:18am

    Nice thought doctorDan but the master was locked in the timewar with the rest of the timelords so how would he of escaped?
    they only did the first time cos the master was on earth so there was a direct connection, do you think the master may have done somethin simaler with the doctor?

  • DoctorDan

    June 21st, 2010 - 12:14am

    Could The Master be the one that saves The Doctor? The Tenth Doctor did spare him despite Rassilon trying to bait him. It could be repaying his debt to The Doctor by getting him out of Pandorica. Just a thought.

  • TheCultOfSkaro

    June 20th, 2010 - 11:58pm

    or like the echo at bad wolf bay, somehow projects himself through time to arrange certain things,
    How about this if the tardis explodes the energy from the heart must go somewhere wot about the doctor he has to be the strongest link to the tardis maybe he absorbs it and uses the energy to alter and arrange the events thus far whilst still in the pandorica

  • Creedence

    June 20th, 2010 - 11:44pm

    We know the doctor is trapped right he cant use his arms or anything…wat if cult maybe ur right a consince the dream load makes a return this will let him out the pandora in tht it will also let him talk to kid amy but he cant touch just be like a whisper …

  • TheCultOfSkaro

    June 20th, 2010 - 11:37pm

    i’m starting to think that amy is somehow a creation by the doctor that he will make afetr he saves the day sort of like how rose spread “Badwolf” through time after destroying the daleks not sure how but maybe he creates a conciousness with his mind and inputts it in an auton something along those lines

  • Creedence

    June 20th, 2010 - 11:31pm

    thing is the master said everyone had turned into him right apart from the ones immune to his scarns im thinking would amy be turned into the master i reckon she would have immunity to it well kid amy anyway this could be because shes not really there but is effcet just think bout she dont remembers the daleks this is all the times there attacked also the proffeser also didnt no he was controlled till there told him
