bbc [Official] Doctor Who Thread

[thefonz]

Those are valid questions which will be answered next week - hence the cliffhanger 2 parter.

Winston called River the same we he called The Doctor in VOTD.

Pandorica was built by the alliance of enemies.

[Dark Atheist]

I get the feeling that the voice could have been the crazed dalek, the one with davros, we never seen them die, it was just implied

[thealexweb]

When river song managed to get the tardis door open and it was just a rock wall what was that, I don't get it. Was it the closed door of the pandorica?

[Osiris]

Whoever or whatever was controlling the tardis positioned it in such a manner that she would not be able to exit and hence the tardis engines would not shut down. So yes it was a rockwall anywhere, it did the job.

[84Mark]

How did Winston make that call to River Song 5000 years in the future?

Winston didn't call River - he called the time vortex to try to get to the Doctor - but the TARDIS re-routed the call to River.

Doctor Who averaged a respectable 5.9m for BBC One on Saturday evening, according to early overnight data.

not sure how genuine these are but leaked GFX from this weeks and next weeks episode!

[Orange Battery]

This series really should have been called 'The exciting adventures of the young Dr Who'

Full cast of... yes Im going to say it Baddies, a Doctor who seems to have forgotten all his life lessons and turned back to a teenager oh and a companion who I actually wish has died as she is that unimportant.

I have always been left in suspense for a Dr Who series Finale however I really don't care what happens this time.

I understand what you mean, that magazine ages ago for Series 4 finale contained the episodes story line, like the Doctor getting zapped by a dalek :( Grrr hated that.

[Corris Veteran]

Doesn't matter, they are still blatant spoilers, I was hoping to not get the last episode spoiled in anyway, but cheers anyway, the pictures can lead to some obvious conclusion, you've ruined the show for me!

:p

though in all seriousness, should link possibly spoiler pictures instead of showing them, for those that don't want to see anything.

Loved this episode :D Can't wait for the next one.

I wasn't too sure about this season when it started, but I'm loving it now!

[LightShadow]

Yeah, I read about the Doctor in the Pandorica. And when it opened I was like he's gonna be in there. And when it was empty, I instantly knew he was going to be put in there :(

Also, I'm working on a Custom Trailer sort of for The Last Episode, and it's basic as I'm using WLMM but :p Will be up later today,tomorrow :)

The most recent episode of Doctor Who Confidential, titled Alien Abduction, included a scene where the director used music from Raiders of the Lost Ark to help the actors with pacing and mood whilst filming The Pandorica Opens.

[LOC Veteran]

I really enjoyed Confidential this week. Normally some of the Confidential episodes are just light hearted looks at how they make the episode of that week, but this week was just really informative about the episode and showed some interesting things outright.

Plus, I love their theme song :D

[Rappy Veteran]

It's not exactly a spoiler as such, but here's an interesting post picking up on all the hidden "fairytale" images and threads in the first 12 episodes of the season, and speculating a bit on how they'll play out in the finale

501 The Eleventh Hour: Amelia Pond, name like a fairytale. Apples. Young woman goes on an adventure with her imaginary friend in her nightie, telling her not to grow up (Peter Pan).

502 The Beast Below: The Queen walks among the common folk. The beast that eats children is actually a big friendly giant.

503 Victory of the Daleks: A fake man turns human thanks to having emotions (Pinocchio).

504/5 Time of the Angels/Flesh & Stone: Amy Pond, dressed in a red hoody is chased by something evil through a forest. The Pandorica is a fairytale. River: Aren't we all?

506 Vampires of Venice: Innocent girls going into danger in a great big castle. To me it has a really big fairytale ring to it.

507 Amy's Choice: Rory's ultimate fairytale coming true is actually a dream.

508/9 The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood: People being taken to a different world. A city sleeping for a 1000 years.

510 Vincent and the Doctor: A beast, that seems evil and ugly actually has a lot of goodness in it, it is just misunderstood. (both references Vincent and the Krafayas)

511 The Lodger: An impossible love is brought together by something evil. A kiss breaks the curse.

General: Multiple sharp teeth reference. Evil wearing a disguise. What seems evil actually being good.

Found ^^ on Twitter :)

Interesting idea (not mine): The Alliance realise that the universe has ended around them and release The Doctor from the Pandorica, Rory puts Amy who he has shot into it to keep her alive.The Doctor then figures out that he needs Amy to remember everything that happened.The voice in the Tardis is Steven Moffat.

There are no ducks in the duck pond because the duck pond is not real - created by Amy's memories by the Alliance and thus the whole series is a trick (not a dream) to lure the Doctor to that moment.

Thats my idea too! If you take out the ducks from a duck pond you get Pond, Amy Pond.

I don't know, making the entire series like a Newhart or something similar type thing doesn't seem like Moffat to me. But, I could be wrong of course. Then again, weirder things have happened on TV....
