It would have been awesome if they could have gotten a past Doctor to be the one in the Pandorica. Maybe Eccelston (though unlikely after that interesting tidbit from earlier today lol) or even Tennant. Maybe an even older Doctor like the 7th or 8th. Or hell, Tom Baker even....

Concept artist Peter McKinstry, whose site yielded some spoilers for the opening of the Pandorica the other day, has apparently also offered up another piece of concept art for this year's Christmas special. Which looks like a very familiar foe that we haven't seen in quite a long time. (Note: I can't actually find this on McKinstry's site, and I haven't seen it posted anywhere else. But our own Bluehinter posted it in comments yesterday, and I trust him, of course. Plus it looks genuine.)

Ok here's my take:

The Doctor is the most feared being in the universe.

All this time the Pandorica has been transmitting throughout the universe that he will be in this point at this time at this place (Stonehenge) - we get this from the clip above.

Therefore all the Doctor's greatest enemies have gathered at this point to capture the Doctor and place him inside the Pandorica/Prison.

River Song who meets the Doctor for the first time lures him to this point and effectively "kills" him but will realise later (in the big bang?) what she's done.

With the Doctor effectively dead inside the pandorica the bad guys will finally win - this is the "silence" that falls which prisoner zero suggested since everyone in the universe will die.

The cracks in time are caused by the tardis exploding and the doctor's death and some sort of paradox which i havent figured out yet.

Amy Pond will solve the whole thing.

But why are there no ducks in the duck pond???

I'm pretty sure the paradox involved here is Amy remembering Rory after picking up the wedding ring.

And I'm pretty sure the "silence" that falls has nothing to do with the Doctor's enemies really. They made it pretty obvious several times throughout the series that the cracks and what's behind them is the silence, not one specific race or another conquering the Universe or something. The cracks are probably from the Tardis exploding, but I also think it has to do with Amy specifically, because as they showed last week when Amy picked up the wedding ring that crack started to glow and then open up. Not to mention the cracks do seem to be following Amy (or the Doctor I suppose if you want to get technical).

Can't wait until the episode airs already so we get some answers. How much you wanna bet the cliffhanger for The Big Bang is gonna be huge? lol

At the BAFTA screening of The Pandorica Opens tonight, BBC reporter, and Doctor Who fan, Lizo Mzimba interviewed Matt Smith. During the conversation Matt revealed that he had been for a costume fitting, for the next series, earlier this morning. The original Tweet read:

Talking about the Doctor's costume after the screening Matt Smith reveals he 'went for a costume fitting this morning for next year!'

10 Teasers!

1. Hello sweetie writ large. Literally.

2. "This is royal collection and I'm the ****** *****!

3. Cleopatra's comin' atcha!

4. Drahvins, Zygons, Draconians, oh my!

5. A nifty new Cyber-feature is revealed.

6. An unlikely alliance is formed.

7. The Pandorica opens. And closes.

8. We finally find out where those pesky cracks are coming from.

9. Death. A whole lot more death than you probably anticipated.

10. But don't despair, the last word of the episode is "love".

and 20 more!

1. Steven Moffat’s on top form with a brilliantly crafted episode – the perfect start to a two-parter.

2. The Doctor and Amy visit the oldest planet in the universe, where the first words in history have a familiar ring to them.

3. The stakes are every bit as high as in an RTD season finale.

4. Characters from earlier in the series make surprise appearances before the opening titles – and we’re not just talking about the series recap.

5. There’s something funny going on at Stonehenge.

6. If you thought “The Lodger” looked like a money-saving episode, you soon realise where all that spare cash went.

7. There’s a scene in a bar rather reminiscent of the Star Wars cantina.

8. There’s an armada of alien spacecraft.

9. The Doctor gets to deliver one of his “Get out of here!” speeches.

10. There’s a brilliant scare involving a human skull.

11. You could market an entire range of action figures on the back of this episode alone.

12. Amy’s engagement ring is crucial.

13. It’ll make you want to go back and watch the whole series again.

14. Someone other than the Doctor pilots the TARDIS.

15. The Doctor and Amy face a foe reminiscent of fembots.

16. There’s a fantastic nod to The Thing.

17. The Pandorica does indeed open.

18. It also closes.

19. The episode ends in a cliffhanger so devilish that it seems utterly inescapable. It’s going to be a very, very long week.

20. 26 June 2010 is a very important date indeed – and not just because it’s the day of the series finale.

And with regarding the fact of wanting to go back and watch the series again, I'm wondering if the discovered scene with The Doctor wearing the wrong clothes was on purpose

I'm hoping you're right! :)

Schedule for the 55-minute long The Big Bang

The final episode of the current series of Doctor Who, The Big Bang, will be shown at 6.05pm [on Saturday the 26th] according to the BBC Press Office. The programme will run for 55 minutes, 10 minutes longer than normal.

The early start is to avoid clashing with one of the two World Cup matches taking place on the day. One match will be on BBC One and one on ITV, but which on which will not be determined until the results of the first round matches are known the day before transmission. If England win their group, their match will be shown immediately after Doctor Who on BBC One.

      Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.

      Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By RejZoR · Posted

      It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • Paint.NET can finally be downloaded from the "right" place

      By dismuter · Posted

      You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
