Howling:The Pandorica Opens SFX Teasers
The Spoilers
- Steven Moffat’s on top form with a brilliantly crafted episode – the perfect start to a two-parter.
- The Doctor and Amy visit the oldest planet in the universe, where the first words in history have a familiar ring to them.
- The stakes are every bit as high as in an RTD season finale.
- Characters from earlier in the series make surprise appearances before the opening titles – and we’re not just talking about the series recap.
- There’s something funny going on at Stonehenge.
- If you thought “The Lodger” looked like a money-saving episode, you soon realise where all that spare cash went.
- There’s a scene in a bar rather reminiscent of the Star Wars cantina.
- There’s an armada of alien spacecraft.
- The Doctor gets to deliver one of his “Get out of here!” speeches.
- There’s a brilliant scare involving a human skull.
- You could market an entire range of action figures on the back of this episode alone.
- Amy’s engagement ring is crucial.
- It’ll make you want to go back and watch the whole series again.
- Someone other than the Doctor pilots the TARDIS.
- The Doctor and Amy face a foe reminiscent of fembots.
- There’s a fantastic nod to The Thing.
- The Pandorica does indeed open.
- It also closes.
- The episode ends in a cliffhanger so devilish that it seems utterly inescapable. It’s going to be a very, very long week.
- 26 June 2010 is a very important date indeed – and not just because it’s the day of the series finale.

2. I suspect, it would be a message from River or something so they'll meet up.
3.Yay!! Can't wait.
4. I agree with an earlier post, VINCENT VAN GOGH PAINTING.
5. The Pandorica obviously.
8. The different aliens coming together for the Pandorica's Opening of course.
12. Hmmm Can't wait to find out how it's crucial :D :D XD
13. Umm some sort of revelation or flashbacks? Or The Doctor travelling back?
14. I suspect Amy because I saw a concept art for a page from River's Diary and it's a picture of Amy and the words 'Tardis Pilot' written underneath, and I think it's a good time for Amy to tell river about the brakes or something.
16. The Thing? As in 'The Thing' from The Fantastic Four? The big rocky guy? ok... how peculiar.
19. WOW OMFG I can't wait till tomorrow now. :( Hmmmm. XD
20. The supposed wedding? Or the day something comes or something along those lines?

16; The Thing... must be the Family Addams Thing 90.21.233.121 14:14, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
Nope, the crawling cyber head was a very clear homage to the crawling head in John Carpenter's The Thing. A bit less gore though.
