More actions
Ok.. So i have had my theories about the next 2 episode but there's one thing that i wanted to point out.
In TEH when the Doctor meets Amelia, he asks her name and she says 'Amelia Pond' then he replies "Amelia Pond! Like a name out of a fairytale" but also in FaS The Doctor and River are having a conversation and River says "when the Pandorica opens". The Doctors reply was "The Pandorica. Ha! That's just a fairytale".. So maybe this whole thing is a fairytale or maybe a fairytale consuming Amy?

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Further to the fairytale motif (I don't think its as substantial as a story arc) there are possibly nods towards fairy tales throughout the series. Red Riding Hood has been discussed elsewhere but what about Amelia giving the doctor an apple (Snow White), the doctor talking to the cat (Dick Whittington) and possibly even Beauty and the Beast (TBB and the end of VotD with Bracewell being restored to humanity).Any others?81.141.84.225 12:52, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
