Mr. Stephen Fry, Doctor Who is DEFINITELY NOT children's television, chicken nuggets and whatever. This was pure, brilliant drama that wannabe writers could only imagine to accomplish.

sometimes I forget that this man weaves the some of the most intricate of sci-fi plots we have seen on new Who.
Yes, this is very true. I'm glad Moff is in charge of this scale of a finale. I just still wish he'd phone up RTD a bit more often to ask about important things like emotional depth!...

Oh my, all the Who monsters in one episode. GUYS. This is RUSSELL T DAVIES' dream scene.
I THOUGHT OF THIS LATER AND I GOT SOOOO HAPPY FOR RTD. He must have been having such a fanboy squee.

It's more than just using your memories, I'm sure.
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. Also uh, what kind of child reads and loves Pandora's Box? I read like Alice in Wonderland and Nancy Drew.

I love how Amy reacted to the ring with the Doctor, and the scene with the Doctor talking about memories was BEAUTIFUL, STEVEN MOFFAT. YOU GOT IT RIGHT! When she asked 'who was she?' thinking the ring belonged to someone the Doctor lost, I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF ROSE. DON'T DENY IT, YOU DID TOO. The Doctor's face was a sad sad smile, both for Amy's loss and also his own, perhaps.
SORRY TO COPY YOUR WHOLE DANG PARAGRAPH BUT UH YEAH, THIS WEE SCENE WAS POOOOOOOETRY. There's been what could almost be considered a lot of Rose references in this series. What happened to you, Moff? COMING AROUND I SEE EH!? HOW'S ABOUT A REWRITE OF THE GIRL IN THE FIREPLACE? WE SHIPPERS ARE FORGIVING. JUST GET ON WITH IT.

So, who's controlling the TARDIS and trapping River Song and keeps saying 'SILENCE WILL FALL'?
FOR REAL, I DON'T RECOGNIZE THE VOICE EVEN A LITTLE. Unless it's Dalek Khan...again. But I have a LITTLE more faith than that.

So, because I've seen this debated elsewhere:
Do you think Rory Williams was ever real, or was he like, just a Roman in the storybook, and Amy somehow constructed him into her real life because of her ~weirdo powers of childhood imagination~ or something?

Yeah yeah yeah. xD

Collective fanboy squee more likely, with DT and Phil Collinson and Benjy Cook and basically every single person of the Who crew! THINK OF THE E-MAILS, CATEY.

Might have something to do with the fact that the Doctor visited her in a Box. (This hindsight just came as I was typing your reply.) But still, WEIRD.

I think RTD called up the Moff and told him not to upset the Doctor/Rose shippers. xD LOLOLOL. Did he grow mellow about Rose? I mean, there was even a FOOTAGE OF ROSE in the last ep. Maybe he found doctor_rose_fix. Hahahahahaha. Late Shippers are always welcome too.

Unless it's Dalek Khan...again. But I have a LITTLE more faith than that.
Could it be the Dreamlord, somehow manifested itself to life? Not very likely, I know. BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHO'S VOICE THAT IS AND IT IS MAKING ME PERPLEXED.

I think that .... Rory Williams was/is very real. I'm quite certain of it. Rory as a Roman/Auton was, I think, a result of the picture of the them together in the book, so I think it's just her memories being played with in a very screwed up way and everything was mixed up and whatever. No no, Rory was/is real, definitely. I'M STICKING TO THIS THEORY BECAUSE I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT RORY WAS NEVER REAL. I CANNOT HAVE AN UN-REAL CHARACTER AS A FAVOURITE.

Speaking of weirdo childhood imaginations, do you think that Amelia would've managed to imagine an alternate!Doctor into life? A sinister version of the Doctor because Amelia was mad at him for making her wait so long? Could that be the voice behind the Silence? AHHHHH NEXT WEEK ARE YOU COMING SOON????!!!
