Well.

We were right in a way that the Pandorica was made to hold the Doctor. It looks like Rory isn't actually alive, but is a construction made from Amy's memory. When Rory first spoke about waking up with Roman memories, I thought it was the other way around -- that Amy had stolen him from the past because she loved Roman history, and that being a Roman was his true life that he woke up to after dying in Amy's life.

Instead, it was the Alliance of Big Bads using Amy's memories to construct a trap for the Doctor. I wonder if that's all it is.

There's still Jacket Doctor. There's still the need to remember. The Doctor said it right out loud in this episode -- if something is remembered, it can come back. That's what the duck pond meant, like I said. But I don't know how that will play out, or if it will mean anything, or if Amy can still bring the real Rory back now that she's remembering him, because she can't be dead just yet.

Was Jacket Doctor controlling the TARDIS? Did he cause it to explode? Did he do something to stop it from exploding? How is a future version of the Doctor out there when the present version is locked inside an unbreakable cage? Will a crack appear inside the Pandorica, allowing him to escape into the past and effect the changes we've seen on the timeline?

I don't know! However, I'm willing to bet there's still more going on here than meets the eye.

But that was a fantastic episode. I adored -- I mean truly loved -- that speech he gave to the assembled alien fleets from atop the rock. That was incredible. I must retype it here for posterity.

"Hello Stonehenge!

Who takes the Pandorica, takes the universe. But, bad news, everyone. 'Cause guess who!

They sent you lot, you're all ... whizzing about, it's very distracting, could you all just stay still a minute, because

I

AM

TALKING!


Now the question of the hour is, who's got the Pandorica. Answer, I do. Next question, who's coming to take it from me?

C'mon! Look at me, no plan, no backup, no weapons worth a damn, oh, and something else I don't have: Anything. To. Lose.

So, if you're sitting up there in your silly little spaceships with your silly ... little ... guns, if you've got any plans on taking the Pandorica tonight, just remember who's standing in your way. Remember every black day I ever stopped you, and then, AND THEN ... do the smart thing.

Let somebody else try first."
