yes i reckon davros is conrolling the tardis and the cracks may be the void so thats how the cybermen may have come back
i reckin aswell that the master will return next series and i reckon the dreamlord has something to do with this all and its all probably a dream.But when amy got shot i reckon she will become a cyberman like the romans and the tardis blast has reset time but its also odd how amy cant remember the daleks.

Right,
“The girl who believes in the stars” is quite obviously the younger version of Amy Pond. There are even pictures of the young Amy on doctor who website galleries for this episode. As for the cause of the cracks, that has already been explained. The tardis exploded (in the future) which sent shockwaves back and forward through time creating the cracks we’ve seen so far. As for WHY the tardis explodes I am not sure. Somebody (presumably Davros manipulating one of the cracks in time that reached him in the past) is controlling the Tardis and could be trying to destroy it. Or another possibility could be because of the Doctor being locked away in the Pandorica – and the Doctor and the Tardis being somehow linked together.

As for everyone saying “Or the doctor could just use his screw driver”… please shut up. The Doctor has been imprisoned. His arms were quite clearly locked in place in the Pandorica chair, and therefore he can’t use sonic screw driver (what with it being in his jacket pocket).

To those saying “Rose will come back and save the day” (or another companion).. again highly doubtful. I doubt they’d bring back companions now that the actors/actresses have got their own new careers. And to those hinting “The master will return”… no. The master was Tennant’s big baddy… they’re not going to try and recycle recent villains. Davros is more likely however….

My belief – The first episode young Amy said she heard “Voices” through the crack in her bedroom wall. VoiceS – plural. Not just “the prisoner has escaped”. Yes yes it didn’t say what she heard.. but it seemed to suggest more than one. Considering cracks have gone back through time, it’s possible the Young Amy will go through the crack in time and arrive in either some strange location or at Stone henge area to help. The older Amy is now Dead…. with her Death Rory regains control and his humanity (much like the scientist in London – the Darlek bomb man) and finds the young Amy. Together they either rescue the Doctor directly, or find River Song and they all do it together.
It’s also possible Davros will come back as a main enemy in this season finale. Although further opinion suggests he could be rejected by the “New Daleks” as they have evolved and he is a primative Darlek… again… just an idea.

The episode will finish with Time being “restored” somehow, and therefore Rory never died in previous episodes, and “Robot Rory” never shot Amy. Rory and Amy will get married and it will be happy happy. The Doctor will go to leave and either Rory and Amy will stay behind… or Amy (possibly with Rory) will be all like “You’re not leaving without me”…

maybe amy saves the day by remembering everything, cause the doctor said sometimes if you remeber something for a long time it comes true,
and like if rory brings her back she cud thinks of the doctor
doctorwho

i also think maybe river song is the doctors doughter since we have never seen her agen and river song knows everything

i think river song kills rory, but we dont know yet, i reckon it is davros controlling the tardis, but if it was why would the darleks say only timelords can controll it, i think maybe the dreamlord has something to do with it

I think the time lady everyone is referring to is the lady from the end of time who you never found out who she was. The one that kept talking to Donna’s grandfather. Not sure how she would come back but it would be cool. Also, I think the tardis explodes, hence the cracks in time and the piece of the tardis that is found. Wouldn’t it be interesting if the explosion of the Tardis unlocks the time war. I’m sure amy, river, and the doctor will live but I don’t know how yet. I’m sure more of it has to do with Amy because there are a lot of unanswered questions about her like why didn’t she remember the darleks invasion of earth, ect. The bigger questions are who is saying silence will fall and what causes the Tardis to explode, is someone controling it?

Some of my other observations are: I’m pretty sure River song is not the rani or anything like that because she sacrifices herself in the future to save the doctor. They obviously have history and its good. The person she kills is not the doctor unless they are talking about his current regeneration. He has to be alive in the future.

Remember River used a Vortex Manipulator to travel into the past now if she can’t escape the TARDIS where do you think that little gadget is currently located?
Sorry if thats a bit much I really need a refresher course in grammar!

and if the doctor imagined himself back outside the pandorica it might happen, or he could just use his sonic screwdriver 🙂

well think of it as this;

the doctor says to amy
” well sometimes if you keep remember things for so long they come back”
well then maybe rory thinks of amy, amy comes abck alive and then the same with the doctor xx

Things to remember:

There’s one thing you never, ever put in a trap… ME.

A weeping Angel stole the Doctor’s coat – then it magically reappeared but this was never explained.
In the same episode, the Doctor told Amy to remember something (I forget what) about when he met her as a little girl.

River is supposed to have killed a “good man” that people said the Doctor must not be told about because he would stop helping.

So, I reckon River kills (or at least is believed to have killed) the Doctor, child Amy has some kind of role in this, perhaps the jacket going and then coming back indicates the Doctor travelling in time and the Doctor should never be put in a trap, which he has been. Plenty there to theorise about. 🙂
