It really did, it really really did. That’s good 'Who!
It was a good episode
Now THAT is how you do a cliffhanger! :eek:
It was pretty fantastic- now here’s hoping the second half lives up to the first without hitting that oh-so-popular (in NuWho at least) reset button.
With Moffat running the show now, I’m sort of thinking that all of our assumptions no longer apply. They could, literally, do anything after this episode.
I had no doubt Rory would be back, but making Rory into AutonRory was kind of genius! I’m thinking he’d (or maybe even Amy’s younger self Amelia would) play a part in setting things right in the finale.
But I can’t wait to see what Moffat cooked up for us. Hopefully not a RTD reset button type situation.
btw, was anyone else reminded of LOST during the montage at the end of the episode with the soaring music?
speaking of Reset buttons…
My suspicion, is that the only way out of this is to hit a MASSIVE reset button. One that undoes time to a point before the doctor meets Amelia (Amy) .
Perhaps all the way back to before the 11th doctor…
But. I think it will be Back to when Grown up Amy went with the doctor…
Disclaimer… - I have yet to right about any storyline prediction on ANY show.

Who cares I LOVED IT and need saturday to get here now now now!
I don’t know if this has been mentioned or thought yet. This whole Arc has been a setup from the first episode. Now my question is is Amy real? In that she is the nexus of all this trap for the doctor. Was she born or created by one of the factions. BTW I guess we will find out what those imprints in the ground were in the next episode. BTW where is Doctor Song? And WTF is that voice. Of course all the villains band together to save the universe by sealing up the one person that can fix it. BRILLIANT as always they sure are. Oh and yes can’t wait for next week.
I’ve watched everything up through The Pandorica Opens. I haven’t watched the finale yet. (I’ve acquired it through somewhat dubious means since I’m on the wrong side of the pond and it hasn’t aired here yet.) I’m kind of hesitant to watch the conclusion because then the season will be over and I’ll have to wait almost a whole year to get more of the Eleventh Doctor.
I have tons of questions and speculation while I wait though. I have this vague sense that there is something wrong with Amy Pond and something wrong with the village of Leadsworth, but I can’t put my finger on what it is.
In The Pandorica Opens, the Doctor says that Amy’s life doesn’t make any sense. In Cold Blood, when Rory fell into the crack in time, he was erased from Amy’s personal history. He was never born. If Amy’s best friend since childhood never existed, her whole life should have turned out entirely differently. But Amy seem relatively unchanged. She doesn’t remember Rory, but her personality and everything else about her remain the same. It’s like there’s this big gap in her life where Rory should be, but the Universe never healed up around it. The Universe never filled in that gap. There’s just this big crack through the center of Amy’s memories and the pieces on either side of it no longer make any sense.
There are other weird gaps in Amy’s life and memories.
[ul]
[li]Amy was raised by an aunt whom we never see.
[/li][li]Amy lives in a house with too many rooms.
[/li][li]Leadsworth’s duck pond has never had any ducks in it, yet Amy still knows that it’s a duck pond.
[/li][li]Amy doesn’t remember the Dalek invasion of Earth, and she should.
[/li][li]The Doctor tells Amy to remember what he told her when she was eight years old, but she can’t remember.
[/li][/ul]
Plus, I still have some questions on my mind.
[ul]
[li]Why does Amy, at age 21, still live in the same house, in the very same bedroom, where she lived when she was eight years old?
[/li][li]If it is the night before her wedding, why is her bedroom still filled with childlike toys and drawings? It looks like the bedroom of a much younger girl. Is she just nostalgic because its the last day of her “childhood”?
[/li][li]In The Eleventh Hour, there’s this weird shot of Amelia in the garden waiting for the Doctor to come back. Little Amelia Pond, sitting on her suitcase, looks up and sees something that makes her smile. What did she see?
[/li][/ul]
I don’t know what it all means, but it seems to mean something. (I’ll swing by the thread for The Big Bang after I’ve seen the finale and let you know if it all makes sense, or if I just have more questions.)
Thankfully, we only have to wait until Christmas to see more Doctor Who. Looks like the regular season will start in the spring of 2011.
