(Largely misguided. The ''point'' of this is to be minimalist, to present only the barest minimum needed. Making this longer is precisely the opposite of what we want. We want it to be as short as possible while still making sure everyone can follow the basic, necessary, plot beats. Fair point about Kingston though.) |

After | After regenerating once more into The [[Eleventh Doctor]], played by [[Matt Smith]], the Doctor crashes his TARDIS into the backgarden of a young girl named [[Amy Pond]], who is is troubled by a sinister crack in her house. This crack is a tear in time and space through which an intergalactic criminal has escaped into her house. He tries a short hop into the future to repair the TARDIS, but finds himself flung years further than he thought and reunites with a now-adult Amy, played by [[Karen Gillan]]. He resolves the alien threat and again, travels onwards into the future but again skips forward two more years - during which time she became engaged to [[Rory Williams]], played by [[Arthur Darvill]]. | ||
The two travel on a few minor adventures before encountering River Song yet again, as more of these cracks in the universe menace them - even erasing a horde of [[Weeping Angel]]s from ever existing. Shook by the encounter with the Angels, she tells the Doctor that she is getting married to Rory in the morning. Unbothered, the Doctor allows Rory to join the group, and they travel together for a while before Rory is eventually becoming erased by a crack, causing Amy to forget all about him. Guided to [[Stonehenge]] by a network of clues left by people the pair recently encountered, they comes across both River and a prison spoken of in legend, the [[Pandorica]], which is sought by an alliance of the Doctor's enemies. | |||
It becomes clear that the setup is a trap engineered by this alliance, taken from Amy's memories - including a remade Rory. The opening of the Pandorica was timed to lure the Doctor so that he could be imprisoned within it, as they believe him to be the cause of the end of the universe. While he's in the Pandorica, the TARDIS explodes, creating the cracks in time and wiping out most of the universe. Through a series of complex temporal events, the Doctor escapes from the Pandorica and uses the fragments of information on the previous iteration of the universe stored within it to reboot everything, using his exploding TARDIS as a power source. Whilst he himself is temporarily erased, Amy's memories revive him and he shows up in this newly rebooted universe on Amy and Rory's wedding day. | |||
