Oh, wow, you're totally right! He brought them to the house of their future/our past, right? Or something... I don't know, it's confusing. I couldn't figure out if it was their house or a house he bought for them. How did Rory know there'd be champagne inside? Or did there just happen to be champagne inside? Hmm, I've got to think this through.

I totally agree, I thought Eleven was very much like Ten this episode.

I feel like the house is potentially the one we saw in TIA but I'd have to rewatch to be sure. Still I think this is all part of some massive time loop that will hurt your brain if you think about it too hard. We know Moffat loves the timey-whimey though so I really think anything is possible. I don't know that Rory knew there'd be champagne. I think he went in to check out the house and found the champagne. I'm guessing if the Doctor got them the house he stocked it?

Yeah he was very Ten-like but he came about it in a different way. Which is good. I like that they are the same and yet not.

I think that it might have been the TARDIS inside his door, but not his TARDIS or his and another at the same time - maybe 9s? when it was all destroyed from the Time War... the cloister bells were sounding in the soundtrack which said to me that there was distress...

Ooooh that's an interesting theory about the TARDIS. I like that. I do hope that we will find out later what was behind there but I'm guessing that's a slim chance.

Oh. Oh. (Here from Doctor Who Daily, don't mind me.) If that's true, that explains a lot about The Impossible Astronaut. With Amy looking for signs of the Doctor in stories and books. And why the Doctor was traveling on his own in the first place. And why he was older and so happy to see them and--

OHMYGAWD, MY BRAIN.

Hello! WELCOME! Always happy to meet new people so glad you found your way here.

LOLOL yes the more you think about the massive time loop the more it hurts the brain. There are flaws in the theory I know, but I feel like there's also something that will happen that will break this loop and fix some of those flaws. We shall see. I'm pretty confident it's a loop though. It just makes too many things fall into place for it not to. Also, time can be rewritten so maybe it will be rewritten in such a way that this time Amy and Rory will get to properly raise their daughter....

No, no, it makes perfect sense. People have been speculating the Doctor's death stopped something from happening. Moffat does like to lean toward wibbly-wobbly, balls of time, here, after all. With Blink, the Doctor saving the day... from an experience that would have otherwise ended badly for Sally.

And the Pandorica. How did the Doctor get out the first time? At one point, in his timeline, he got out, and then he was always out.

What if we're seeing the beginning of a loop? The Doctor says, in TIA, that Amy and Rory were supposed to be off making babies, implying that they left to grow up. In the last episode, the Doctor forces them to grow up and that implies they have children of their own, which creates the loop and my brain. MY BRAIN.

Oh yay! I'm so glad it makes sense to someone else too.

I like the idea that we're seeing the beginning of a loop, that seems like a logical guess. AHHH is it two weeks from now yet? I want aaaaaaaaaaaaanswers!!!!

My brain hurts too!!!

Except if that was them at the beginning of TIA, then Amy hasn't become pregnant or been kidnapped yet, has she - so how would she be able to ask that question about their daughter? And would River even exist?

I really hope we don't have some tear-jerker ending where to sort his death out the Doctor has to switch to a timeline with no River.

Well it's a loop that's dependent on it being both their past and their future and since time can be rewritten perhaps the way things have played out with Melody actually could change. I don't know exactly, I just think there are enough signs that we can make an assumption that this could lead us back to TIA. I could be completely wrong. I don't think it would wipe out River though - I think she's a key player in all of this. We'll just have to see what happens in two weeks. EEP it's so soon.
