I looked at the Big Bang page on the wiki and everyone seems to think an old master villain is coming back. So what is in the pandorica?

• It's not the Beast, the whole 666 thing is bull, and while he may be a goblin, I doubt the Doctor would call him a "Trickster."
• It's not the Master. Bringing him back would serve no logical purpose.
• It's not Omega, same reason as above.

I think the Pandorica is the TARDIS. Or a TARDIS. Discuss. the twelfth doctor 19:27, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

It's Bill Cosby. The evil dude. 19:29, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

It's a prison of some sort. It will release all of these enemies. User:Solar Dragon/Signature 19:36, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

I agree that it wont be The master or the Beast for the reasons you said but as for omega he was eating stuff up like the cracks in the three doctors but your probably right no logical reason to bring him back in peter davisons era why now. As for it being a Tardis well the genesis ark was kind of a prison and a tardis . But I don't thinks its the doctors tardis Winehousefan, 20:40, June 12, 2010 [UTC]

It may be Time Lord technology again thoug. I doubt it as they have played that Time Lord technology prison before with the Genesis Ark. User:Solar Dragon/Signature 19:42, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah LOL this would have Daleks cybermen and time lord tech and [rumoured] Billie Piper bit simiilar to Doomsday. But are the enemies neccessarily coming out of the prison though I read on this wiki that they were trying to throw the doc in. Though I suppose they could get out and then chuck him in. I think whether it is a tardis or not the rumors of it being connected to the the time lords are true as the lodger was all about a Tardis someone building a Tardis obviously something else from gallifrey is returning. It might be some super Tardis unlike any we have seen different from even the genesis Ark, though I suppose that is still a bit doomsday. Winehousefan: 21:55, June 12, 2010, [UTC]

In the trailer for the next episode it looked more like it _attracted_ all the other aliens. Rubbernecking? :) 82.95.255.5 20:02, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

River song was kind of like "look doctor its the daleks", plus you saw there were all spaceships flying towards the earth, whether they had just sort of been released or they were flying there toward the earth because thats where the pandorica was, is very hard to tell at the moment. I guess it could either be them being released and river could of been saying thats whats coming out when she went on about the monsters Daleks cybermen and such. Or that could have been them arriving and she was either telling them whats just arrived or what will be attracted here. I read that there is the most feared thing in the cosmos in the pandorica so again it could be the monsters escaping from it or coming there to stop it opening either is possible.

Yes, and the Doctor even asks why all the aliens are converging on the Pandorica. So, clearly they're not coming out of it.

All we know about what's in the prison is the Doctor's "goblin, trickster, warrior" quote (from the Radio Times weeks ago, but now we know it's the Doctor saying it), and it's the most feared being in the cosmos. Sounds like a very special prison to hold just one very dangerous enemy, not a prison full of all kinds of stuff.

And if it's an ancient prison that's passed into myth even among the Time Lords, whatever's in there presumably hasn't been running around in the new series. So no Beast, no Master, no future Doctor. Who exactly could have put them there post-LGTW?

OK, I suppose the Master could pull a Brer Rabbit--he begs, "Please Brer Rassilon, do whatever you want to me, zap me with your glove, torture me to death, but don't send me back to the beginning of time to be locked in the Pandorica for all eternity", because he somehow knows that it's the only way out of the time lock. But it seems too soon to bring him back.

I still think it's going to be an all-new enemy that Steven Moffat invented that's going to scare the pants of everyone. That's what the Moff is best at, after all. --Falcotron 05:19, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Listing what we know about what's in the Pandorica:

• It's a singular being.
• It's something that the Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans, et al can all agree is too dangerous to let out.
• It's soaked in the blood of a billion worlds.
• It's a trickster, or a warrior.

I can only think of one thing in the universe that meets all of those: the oncoming storm, the destroyer of worlds. Monkey with a Gun 06:00, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

See Combom's blog for the best version I've seen of the "it's the Doctor" argument. But, even though I'm the one who indirectly gave the idea to Combom, I still don't think it's the Doctor. --Falcotron 06:02, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
