| | == Blood of the Cybermen == |
| | Just a quick something and I sure it's been discussed before, but under Production Errors, shouldn't we count Amy's lack of knowledge about the Cybermen when in the timeline of the Whoniverse, she actually met them in the Video Game: Blood of the Cybermen? Nevertheless, if there is an explanation for it, we should still list it as a bullet point and then we should give a possible explanation after it in italics. What do you reckon? |
|
| |
|
| The reference is on the series 5 article page, is it not? Plus, nearly every title this series that has been given beforehand has come true and the events of the finale were refered to as "The Pandorica Opens" in Flesh and Stone, and the title was given long before then. Heck, The Eleventh Hour title was given long before it aired, and people wouldn't accept it. The likliness is that this is the title, so let's stop being so damn highhorse.

| | == These Cybermen are Mondas Cybermen? == |
| http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KTJWhtuRLac/S_2shtln0sI/AAAAAAAAKd0/QXC6maWezCY/s1600/finale2.png
| | I don't think these Cybermen are from Pete's world. That makes no sense. River Song said they had spaceships, implying they were from outer-space instead of an alternate reality. The new series "Pete's world" cybermen redesign has sort of replaced the old Mondas appearance. In "A Good Man Goes to War" the 12th Cyber Legion, who also should be Mondas Cybermen, appear as the new redesigned Pete's world models as well. Also, in the graphic novel "Assimilation2" the Mondas cybermen appear as Pete's World redesigns as well. |
|
| |
|
| == Ridiculous Rumours ==
| | I think it is safe to say these are Mondas Cybermen |

| With this being the series finale, we are constantly going to be givin lots of rumours on the page, some which have been around for a while or some that we are going to have heard by someone who made up. We need to have all rumours sourced to help the page from getting constantly being barmbarded with pathetic rumours, if not they will be deleted. -- [[User:Michael Downey|Michael Downey]] 08:39, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

|
| Are you expecting the Rani rumours to surface like every other year? To be honest, there are pretty much few rumours this finale because of the lack of info. All we really know is something to do with a load of aliens featuring and Stonehenge and River Song. The only pure rumour is Omega. [[User:Delton Menace|Delton Menace]] 13:36, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

| ==For now and unmessyness== | | == unsourced cast == |
| Until it confirmed and the episode airs it is hard to determine which aliens who are appearing will be a villain/enemy so I have placed all confirmed appearances of previous aliens in the story notes section until it is actually confirmed who will be the villains as it helps to stop people messing with the infobox. -- [[User:Michael Downey|Michael Downey]] 11:54, May 22, 2010 (UTC).

| ==Enemies==
| | Just rewatching the episode and I noticed a big error, in my opinion. When River goes to Amy's house, she finds a book of the romans which also happens to have a photo of Amy and Rory in it. If Rory had never existed that photo should not exist, unless the TARDIS is able to land into the original timeline that was not altered by Rory's death and subsequent erasure. Thoughts? |
| Just putting this here as I don't want to go putting it on every talk page of the enemies appearing. Shouldn't we wait until they appear before saying that they are an Eleventh Doctor enemy or appear in these episodes? It may just be a false rumour for all we know. Or a trick. ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian;">[[User:Solar Dragon|<font color="green">The</font> <font color="red">Solar</font> <font color="blue">Dragon</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:Solar Dragon|<font color="gold">Talk</font>]])</sup></span>☆ 21:35, May 22, 2010 (UTC) | |

| It's not a rumours, it's actually supposed to be confirmed from those who get the biggest spoilers. They saw various filmimg images that revealed all of those enemies appearing in the finale, but they aren't aloud to make the pictures public until a certain date, or they could get into big trouble with the BBC.

| “There was a Goblin. Or a trickster, or a warrior. A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. Nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it – one day it would just drop out of sky and tear down your world.”

| so far the only enemy that can be definately confirmed in The Pandorica Opens are the "Cybus Cybermen". [[User:Sclera1|Sclera1]] 07:25, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

| | |
| | |
| It has been confirmed that all the monsters confirmed in the finale are playing enemies and not just monsters as newspapers say that they join forces to DESTROY the Doctor
| |
| | |
| The Blowfish is seen with the alliance but is not on the episode page
| |
| | |
| ==Omega and the Dark Tower/Death Zone==
| |
| To the best of my knowledge, the only source for Omega is "some video on YouTube said that someone on the set saw someone who looked like Omega come out of the Pandorica". (And I wasn't able to find such a video, but then I'm not sure what to search for.) Is that really enough to qualify as a rumor?
| |
| | |
| And the only source for the Dark Tower/Death Zone seems to be an anonymous blogger and a 13-year-old video blogger who both came to the conclusion that if there are lots of different enemies, the Death Zone is probably involved. The video blogger also based this on the hoaxed name for episode 13, "Enemies of a Time Lord".
| |
| | |
| If we're going to include these rumors at all, I think it's worth putting more than a fact tag. Maybe we could say that these are completely unsourced in mainstream media and are only the speculation of a few fans. --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 07:24, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

| == Crack in Time in City of Death ==

| In the classic story 'City of Death', when Romana's picture changes into a broken clock, on the face of the clock is a crack, just like the crack seen this series.

| ==Edit war over synopsis==
| |
| [[User:Olilorry]] and [[User:The mysterious]] have been undoing and redoing the same change, at least 4 times in the past 2 hours, using either no edit comment, or the exact same one ("we need a more informal synopsis") each time. Here are the two versions:
| |
| | |
| :A Van Gogh painting is ferried across thousands of years, communicating a disturbing prophecy to the Doctor. In 102AD England, Romans receive a surprise visit from Cleopatra. Nearby, Stonehenge conceals the Pandorica, a prison-box of legend. As it slowly unlocks, terrible forces gather in the heavens above. What bearing do growing cracks in time and Amelia Pond’s bedroom, have on all of this? There is just one certainty: silence will fall… (ref)http://doctorwhotv.co.uk/date/2010/05 (/ref)
| |
| | |
| :A message on the oldest cliff-face in the universe, a puzzle box opening from the inside and a love that lasts thousands of years... The fates are drawing close around the Tardis – is this the day the Doctor falls?
| |
| | |
| I believe the former is copied straight out of the doctorwhotv.co.uk article given as a reference, while the latter is copied from the leaked Radio Times episode description.
| |
| | |
| Anyway, I'm hoping that people can come to some kind of consensus on the Talk page rather than continuing to edit war. --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 08:47, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

| To be honest my synopsis are better more info[[User:The mysterious|The mysterious]] 08:58, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :I agree, there is more information on your synopsis. But there's some that's in the other synopsis and not in yours. For example, yours doesn't mention the cliff-face or the puzzle box.
| |
| | |
| :More importantly, as I said, both seem to have been copied directly from other sites, and we really don't know who wrote them, so we may be violating someone's copyright.
| |
| | |
| :I think the best answer is to try to merge the two together into something original. But I'd have to look at what the Manual of Style says above synopses and/or look over the other episodes before I'd feel comfortable writing it, so I'm hoping someone else will come up with something that makes everyone happy while I sleep. :) --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 09:03, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

| :One more minor thing. Your ref tag links to the list of all blog posts in May. While the finale spoilers were probably at the top when you added it, by this point they're not even on the first page. On doctorwhotv.co.uk, it's better to use the permanent links (like http://doctorwhotv.co.uk/finale-spoilers-5888.htm in this case), which you can get (among other ways) by right-clicking the story title and copying the link.

| Please everyone do not delete Rory. People have done it, ignoring the fact that there's a link ''right next to his name'' that says that he's appearing. --[[User:Golden Monkey|Golden Monkey]] 20:40, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :No, there is no link next to his name, either in Cast or in Companions.
| |
| | |
| :Two references have been given in the past to support this, but neither one actually does. The first states that Arthur Darvill, who plays Rory in season 5, will be part of a panel at BAFTA's pre-screening of the episode. The second states that Arthur Darvill appears in episode 13. Neither one says anything about Rory appearing in episode 12. If you have a new source, you haven't presented it anywhere. --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 21:40, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

| :The official Doctor Who website released pictures for The Pandorica Opens showing a man (who considerably looks like Rory). However, his back is to us.

| | |
| == Omega and the "nameless, terrible thing" ==
| |
| | |
| I removed the following two rumours:
| |
| | |
| *Omega could return after a video on YouTube said one of the set members mentioned him coming out of the Pandorica
| |
| *Omega has been rumoured to return on Youtube by a user named IJUSTSUBSCRIBENOW http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBuw0Dsi_Sg . The video was posted on May 6, 2010. The user claims to know inside information on Doctor who. This maybe the only trustworthy news of Omega returning as the Youtuber's other videos mentioned about the return of the Timelords and Gallifrey back in July 01, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgYMIUYKzpE. And a video about the return of Rassilon back in June 23, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8-owH6timQ . So this youtuber may well be worth listening to. - John Barrowman (Not the actor)
| |
| | |
| *An alleged leaked script for episodes 12 and 13 described some evil form of entity, describing a "nameless, terrible thing" soaked in the blood of galaxies, the most feared thing in the cosmos. This is thought to be referring to the ultimate "big bad" of the finale. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cameronkmcewan/4477193338/ There is also a fan rumour that the Pandorica opening refers to Pandora's box, with the same thing mentioning a puzzle box opening. It is thought that this opening of the box has something to do with the return of various enemies.
| |
| | |
| The first one was here in the past, with the exact same wording. Someone later edited it to just say "Omega will return" (with a fact tag). Since that shorter version is still there, there's no need for the long version, because it doesn't add any additional information. If someone could specify what video on YouTube is being talked about, or at least rewrite this into English (and what is a "set member"?), it might be useful, but as it is, it sounds like "I heard that someone said that someone said that Omega will return."
| |
| | |
| The first half of the second one has also been added in the past multiple times, with the same wording. I'm not sure why it's been deleted, because it seems relevant, but it shouldn't be added back without some discussion. On top of that, it's not accurate as written--a leaked Radio Times episode guide is not a leaked script.
| |
| | |
| The second half is a separate rumour, and probably doesn't need to be supported. I'll try to add it back in. --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 10:26, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it -- one day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world." May very well refer to the Doctor, from the perspective of his enemies. The Doctor has been called a Trickster or Warrior on many occasions, and the "blood of a billion galaxies" would refer to the people who have died for him, or all the invading monsters he has destroyed, may even include the genocide of the Racnoss or Saturnynians. --Samuel 12:11, June 5, 2010

| :<br /><br />Yet another synopsis to integrate?
| |
| | |
| The BBC issued [http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/proginfo/tv/2010/wk25/sat.shtml a press release] that summarizes the two-part finale:
| |
| | |
| :Doctor Who – The Pandorica Opens Ep 12/13
| |
| :High Definition programme
| |
| :Saturday 19 June
| |
| :Time to be confirmed BBC ONE and BBC HD
| |
| :
| |
| :The Doctor’s friends unite to send him a terrible warning; the Pandorica – which is said to contain the most feared being in all the cosmos – is opening, as the time travelling drama continues. But what’s inside, and can the Doctor stop it?
| |
| | |
| :The Pandorica Opens is written by Steven Moffat and stars Matt Smith as the Doctor and Karen Gillan as Amy Pond.
| |
| | |
| :Doctor Who is simulcast on the BBC HD channel – the BBC’s high definition channel, available through Freesat 108, Freeview 50, Sky 143 and Virgin 108.

| i highly belive omega is a huge possibility and could be in the next episode .but an even better thing that could be in it is the new regenerated version of the new master that the new writers have confirmed in reports on the radio staton in the uk they have mentioned that the master as well as omega will be coming back soon the radio station host as who was in the pandorica and they asked which is it the master or omega and the creators said you will have to wait and see so tommorow we will see.

| "There was a goblin. Or a trickster, or a warrior. A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. Nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it -- one day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world."
| |
| | |
| Am I the only one thinking that it could very well describe the Doctor from the perspective of his enemies?
| |
| | |
| Add in all his enemies coming together like this, and maybe the Pandorica doesn't contain ''anything ''yet; maybe the Doctor's arrived at the moment of the Pandorica's creation to become the creature that will be placed ''in ''it...?[[User:MarcusSLazarus|MarcusSLazarus]] 22:40, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

| == Oh, so you want RIDICULOUS theories, eh... ==
| |
| I only just got it pointed out to me that Philip Madoc appears in an undisclosed role in this story. While I realise he's a season Who actor and has had many parts, the one I remember most is as Doctor Solon, the acolyte of the renegade Time Lord, Morbius - the one who led the Time Lords against numerous innocent cultures before being destroyed so that Solon had to create for him a new body. What if Morbius, not Omega, is the evil Time Lord returning? What if the Pandorica was a resurrection machine, designed to rebuild his body, and hidden by Solon on Earth? What if all the monsters are being drawn there so that he can turn them into his new army?

| : The prisoner in the Pandorica being Morbius would be completely against all established canon AND everything of what little we know about the Finale. Morbius was unsuccessful in his attempt at domination, he and his army devastated Karn and a few other planets before being stopped before he was captured by the Time Lords and his body was disintigrated with only his brain surviving, which is later destroyed. That means that Morbius is well established as dead and CERTAINLY not 'soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies' or anything close to how the prisoner is described in the preview from the episode. Now I know that it is established that the Time Lords can resurrect people but that would have been something they had done fairly recently and the Pandorica has presumably been there for so long that it is a Fairly Tale even to the Time Lords, again making it pretty much impossible that it is actually Morbius, especially since the Doctor doesn't know who the prisoner is, beyond the legend, or so it sounds like, and the Doctor very definitely knows who Morbius is. Also, the description of the prisoner doesn't fit with Morbius' MO which is conquest and domination, not destruction which it sounds like the prisoner is all about. Now, of course, the ability of Time travel means that there are ways to explain how it COULD be Morbius, but they are all quite convoluted and I trust the writers are smart enough to know that if you have to do that kind of complicated explanation of why what they are doing goes against canon without actually disturbing canon then that is a bad set up and a bad idea.[[User:Doorofnight|Doorofnight]] 16:19, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| : Plus, the Doctor already faced a reborn Morbius in the audios ''[[Sisters of the Flame]]''/''[[Vengeance of Morbius]]'' in his [[Eighth Doctor|eighth incarnation]], and Morbius pretty clearly died at the end of that confrontation (Actually, his resurrection was erased from history), and given the convulted and elaborate circumstances necessary for him to come back THEN, it's highly unlikely he's still around to be trapped in the Pandorica now. [[Omega]], maybe; Morbius, definitely not[[User:MarcusSLazarus|MarcusSLazarus]] 08:43, June 16, 2010 (UTC).

| == Basecode of the Universe? ==
| |
| In one of the sections detailing clips from this and possibly episode thirteen, it says that 26/06/10 is the Basecode of the Universe. I think that has been misinterpreted, as River was saying that she could not read the 'basecode of the universe', whatever that is, and that the date was written in this rather than it being it. If that makes any sense.

| |
| | |
| It shouldn be noted that a lot of old enemies are namechecked, but only a number of them are appearing. So far, the only known enemies who ''are'' appear on-screen in either part of the finale as Daleks, Cybermen, Silurians, Sycorax, Blowfish, Weevils, Uvodi Judoon, a Hoix, Sontarans, and a Roboform. A majority of the others are only mentioned, and their ships might be seen. Apparantly, the original Cybermen are mentioned (they're to do with the Cyberhsips), while the Cybusmen appear. This is, without a doubt, due to budgrt reasons.

| == Major Cleanup ==
| |
| | |
| This page needs a major cleanup. All the enemies in the infobox need to be removed until the episode airs as they could easily be taken out. Some of the story notes/rumours/continuity are duplicates and need to be fixed. Some of the story notes are still rumours at this point. In fact, until the episode airs, there should be nothing in the story notes, or continuity sections. At all. The trailers for the episode and the next time previews do not count as canon, so any information gained from them should be removed, as should any information from released pictures, as some of these scenes could easily be removed from the final episode. Does anyone agree. I know it is the finale, but really, it is a bit over the top and a lot of information, much of it repetitive. [[User:The Thirteenth Doctor|The Thirteenth Doctor]] 22:41, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| I had a go at cleaning up quite a lot of things in rumours and story notes. I made it so that story notes now contains basic confirmed spoiler info and not tons of things. I left the return of young Amelia, the enemies who will appear or be mention, the returning series 5 characters (Rive Song, Liz 10, Winston Chruchil, and van Gogh). Just the notable returnies for until the finale airs. Rumours is now the ever-so-popular return of Omega and original Cybermen, the Timoreen thing, and who the "united friends" might be.
| |
| | |
| But on that subject, not only did that interview confirmed Liz 10 and what not are coming back, but so did spoilerists, and another thing about the finale on my TV guide from today. It sia dsomething about van Gogh's painting beng passed through the centuries and people such as Liz 10, and Winston Chruchchill and River Song being in possestion of it as some point down the line. Something like that, anyway. A spoiler review somewhere (probably Outpost Gallifrey) also mentioned the events of each episode being revisited from a different perspective, which furhter fits with this info and would explain ther appearance.

| == Theory of what The Pandorica is ==
| |
| | |
| What ever is in the Pandorica, it could be a weapon as different alien species all want to get it. This is what I think it would be used for if they got their hands, claws, tendrils, sink plungers on it:
| |
| | |
| Daleks: Use it to destroy all life in all Galaxys.
| |
| | |
| Cybermen: To show that if you do not convert, they will destroy you.
| |
| | |
| Judoon: Would use it to maintain Law enforcement.
| |
| | |
| Silurians: Would use it to destroy all humans off of the face of the Earth.
| |
| | |
| Sontarans: Would use it to destroy the Rutan host.
| |
| | |
| Slitheen: Would possibly use it to threaten other Raxicoricalfaliptorians in to not executing them.
| |
| | |
| Nestene Consciounsess: Would use it create a new homeworld, by removing the original inhabitants.
| |
| | |
| Zygons: Same as the Nestene Consciounsess
| |
| | |
| Chelonians: Being bred for war and having the contents of the Pandorica on their side no one would stand in their way.
| |
| | |
| Draconians: The sun shall never set upon their empire with the contents of the Pandorica on their side.
| |
| | |
| Uvodni: Would use it finish their war.
| |
| | |
| Other species such as; Weevils, Roboforms, Terileptils, Atraxi and Blowfish I'm not sure what they would use it for if you have any ideas please add on to this. [[User:Son of Icthar|Son of Icthar]] 15:40, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

| They (the bad guys from this episode a.k.a. [[The Alliance|the Alliance]]) took psychic residue from Amy's house (which included her memories) and then the Autons made an Auton which looked exactly like Rory.

| In fact, the cybermen in this episode make so little sense, they might as well be another species. I mean, when did Cybermen (any variant seen so far) become autonomous from the humans they were built from on any level? The Cybermen are a means to immortality, they don't "use up" or burn out the human as implied in this episode. Granted, they seem to have evolved (clearly more advanced than any technology in Pete's World, what with the tentacles), but it still doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Furthermore, many species have this capacity, the Time Agency is not of Time Lord or Dalek origin, in fact it is probably human. So if the humans of the 51st Century have Time Travel technology, it seems to make sense that many of the species seen could have created it also, or at the very least aquired it through other means (such as through the Blackmarket, as we saw River Song do). --[[User:Looq|Looq]] 22:16, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

I'm praying that she will return to life somehow and save the world - or does little Amelia see to that? I've gotta admit, that would be pretty cool - young Amy preventing her own death and losing memory of it, only for the memories to return when she's older.

The DWConfidential for this episode clearly shows that the actor playing the one-armed cyberman was indeed one armed himself. --[[User:Looq|Looq]] 22:07, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

| :I had, but some how I missed that bit. I've just re-watched it on iplayer, its right, there is quite clearly a shadow on the wall of an arm thats not there. --[[User:Looq|Looq]] 22:44, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

| | |
| Just this moment went to take a look at the specific scene and I can say, without doubt, that the arm shadow in question is nothing more than the shadow of the hanging wires and tubes coming out of the missing arm shoulder. I wont delete the error until everyone else has gone back to have a look. But you'll see I'm right. [[User:Pantohorse|Pantohorse]] 22:17, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

| On confidential it showed how made that scene... the guy who plays the damaged cyber-man is an actual amputee [[User:Springwood1984|Springwood1984]] 22:49, June 19, 2010 (UTC
| |
| | |
| Actually, that could very well be the shadow of an arm, if you're talking about the full-body shot of the cyberman walking into view. Because according to the Confidential, that was picked up later, and at that point the one-armed man wasn't available anymore, so they just put a green cover on the guy's arm and edited it out in post. It's very well possible that they forgot about the shadow it cast. [[Special:Contributions/86.83.239.144|86.83.239.144]] 01:37, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| You can see the shadow just as the cyberman walks into the room. It is seen for less than a second against the wall to the cyberman's left. In this part of the scene, a two armed actor was used, only once the cyberman stoped to pick up his head did the amputee take over.

| ==Remove Rory Williams from Cast Members==
| |
| Or at least update his character to something less misleading. Rory was not in this episode - though a replica was.
| |
| | |
| :It can be put as "Rory (replica)" or something like that.[[User:V00D00M0NKY|V00D00M0NKY]] 05:53, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :Don't think so. Rory is part of the cast. He is not the real Rory but he is still very much like Rory because he could fight being taken control of. Even if he couldn't stop himself from shooting Amy. Rory becoming a replica is apparently through the episode summary anyway.

| ::That's just like saying that Bracewell was a real human being because he had seemingly real memories and emotions. The fact is that the version of Rory in The Pandorica Opens is just an Auton with Rory's memories and something that will create near real emotions to enhance the believability of that actually being Rory. As close as you can get to being Rory but still not him. I see it currently says "Rory (Auton)" and I think that is perfect, though I'm not sure that belongs in companions since he is technically an enemy. He is still an Auton(enemy) after all. [[User:V00D00M0NKY|V00D00M0NKY]] 07:42, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| ::: Yes. On the cast lists he is currently fine but he should be removed from the companions list because he was an Auton - and since when are autons good guys? =P --[[User:The Brig|The Brig]] 20:38, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

| == Possible continuity error ==
| |
| | |
| According to the Monk in the first Doctor story, "The Time Meddler" (1965). The ancient Britons could not have built Stonehenge without the aid of his (the Monk's) anti-gravitational lift. Any thoughts?[[Special:Contributions/86.178.195.29|86.178.195.29]] 05:01, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

| :Did they even say that they built it in the episode? They could very well have just used it Stonehenge. They didn't have to create it. [[Special:Contributions/99.141.92.117|99.141.92.117]] 07:31, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

| |
| :Another Possible Continuity Error, I thought Sutekh from [[Pyramids of Mars|http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Pyramids_of_Mars]] was supposed to be all fearing, couldn't be stopped, they sort of reused a plot point didn't they?
| |
| | |
| == Silurians? ==
| |
| | |
| They are hibernating underground as far as I know. And didn't River list them when she was listing the ships in the sky? Why would the Silurians need a ship in that case? As far as I can remember they never ever left Earth(correct me if I'm wrong). [[User:V00D00M0NKY|V00D00M0NKY]] 07:46, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

| | |
| Aye, I think that should be down as a production error. --[[User:The Brig|The Brig]] 09:43, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| The list of races she says are Daleks, the Cybermen, the Sontarans, the Terileptils, the Slitheen, the Chelonians, the Nestene, the Drahvins, the Sycorax, the Haemogoth(? I not sure what that is or what she's saying there), the Zygons, the Atraxi and the Draconians. No Silurians mentioned so no ships [[User:Carnivius Prime|Carnivius Prime]] 11:03, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Also we do no know what period the Silurians are from, they could be from the year 10,000,000 for all we know. There Alliance is clearly using time travel as part of it's trap. --[[Special:Contributions/86.137.180.221|86.137.180.221]] 14:11, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

| == Wizards ==
| |
| | |
| When River says, "I hate good wizards in fairy tales, they always turn out to be him," shouldn't this be put in the continuity section as a reference to [[DW]]: ''[[Battlefield]]'' seeing that the Doctor is also known as Merlin?
| |
| | |
| == What do the Daleks hope to gain? ==
| |
| | |
| Why would the Daleks want to prevent the destruction of [all] the Universe(s)? Isn't that their goal? Imprisoning the Doctor would then be counter-intuitive, unless its just because of a grudge.
| |
| :What you are saying is that the Daleks want to allow the universe and themselves to be destroyed. No. They want to rule the Universe not be destroyed. {{User:Solar Dragon/Signature}} 10:25, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Yeah the Daleks don't want themselves to die so they'd be ok teaming up with the others to stop the universe being destroyed so it'll give them more time to conquer it. They'd be quite happy to start exterminating all their 'allies' once it's clear they don't need them. [[User:Carnivius Prime|Carnivius Prime]] 11:18, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Are we even sure the alliance is real? Think about it: Daleks are ruthless imperialists who perceive all other species as inferior (and, by the way, would never use the word "scammed"), the Cybermen are determined to convert everyone into themselves, the Sontarans are unstoppable warmongers who do not recognize the term "negotiation". Under no circumstances could these species ever cooperate with each other like this. What if the whole alliance is a kind of trap within a trap and someone or something much bigger is really at play here? --[[User:Jpx400|Jpx400]] 11:51, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| The alliance need to be alive and to stop the universe being destroyed in order to fulfill their own goals and it will turn out that Omega has been manipulating them in order to get to the Doctor and take revenge on him as the last of the Time Lords and the final one he needs to kill to feel avenged after they betrayed him. The Tardis from the Lodger was his and after the events of the Lodger he went to Amy's house on 26th June and set these events in motion before taking control of the Tardis and destroying it while the Doctor is trapped in the Pandorica. So the alliance is real but has been manipulated into that position be Omega or the Big Bad that said "Silence Will Fall" in the Tardis.

| | |
| == AM/PM Clock Confusion ==
| |
| | |
| We finally have a strong hint that the ongoing theme of broken AM/PM time transitions on clocks are intentional. When the Doctor and Amy arrive in ancient Britain, the Doctor gets audibly confused about "1.02 am, ... no, pm! No, A.D.". [[User:Hack59|Hack59]] 12:17, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

| | |
| == Other Greek Letters ==
| |
| | |
| The article currently identifies two of the greek letters following River's "HELLO SWEETIE" message on the cliff, but doesn't discuss the others. I've tried to decode them, but don't understand their significance. So, in case anyone else has any clues, they're
| |
| | |
| Φ ΓΥΔϟ
| |
| | |
| Which translate into the Latin alphabet as F GUD and I believe X. However, the last character is problematic as I can't find it in any Greek alphabet. It's closest to xi, but the resemblance isn't that good.
| |
| | |
| Any ideas what they might mean?
| |

| :The symbol is the obsolete greek letter Qoppa, alternately written Ϙ and equivalent to the letter Q. The entire thing is said to be a set of temporal coordinates. The Theta Sigma part may be part of the coordinates too, or it could have been a way for River to confirm that the message was for the Doctor. I happened to notice it and thought it was worth noting in the article. [[User:Ehsteve23|Ehsteve23]] 21:03, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

| By the way, who here was tricked by the Auton Romans? [[User:Llamaman201|Llamaman201]] [[User talk:Llamaman201|(talk)]] 17:08, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

| | |
| :dunno if needs a place here, but anyways yeah I was. Right up until they raised their hands all straight and you knew the fingers would drop down to reveal a gun. Them Autons have sure improved their realistic looks over the years.

| | |
| == Draconians? ==
| |
| | |
| The Alliance is made up of enemies and yet the Draconians aren't the Doctors enmy! They're the Doctors friends! I didn't see any there, either. --[[User:The Brig|The Brig]] 21:01, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :They weren't all villains. They wanted to save the universe: many of them were evil, but otherwise good species like Draconians probably felt the drastic measures were necessary for the good of the universe or something like that. --[[User:Golden Monkey|Golden Monkey]] 21:04, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

| That explains the [[Judoon]] and [[Atraxi]]. [[User:Matoro1|Matoro1]] 21:16, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

| | |
| You could argue the [[Atraxi]] as being enemies =P. They we're going to blast this planet and are listed as enemies on [[The Eleventh Hour]] page. You could argue the Judoon as being particularly hostile and dismissive of the human race. Does this class them as enemy? --[[User:The Brig|The Brig]] 21:20, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
