Doctor Who 5.12 The Pandorica Opens Review

“There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior. A nameless terrible thing soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the Cosmos. And nothing could stop it or hold it or reason with it. One day, it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.” - The Doctor

The Doctor looking at the Oldest Graffiti Ever: And it's a message from our favourite mystery lady!

Brilliant. Fantastic. Explosive. In short OMG!!!

What else can be said about the penultimate episode of series 5 of Doctor Who? Well plenty, and as I pretty much said last week, the shit has most definitely hit the fan! There was action and discoveries and some very emotional moments topped by an amazing cliffhanger. But there were also some humorous and romantic bits as well.

20 Teasers for Doctor Who 5.12 The Pandorica Opens

Once again, SFX has pulled through for all of us Doctor Who fans with these 20 relatively spoiler-free, but tantalizing, teasers. Are we saturday yet?

1. Steven Moffat’s on top form with a brilliantly crafted episode – the perfect start to a two-parter.
2. The Doctor and Amy visit the oldest planet in the universe, where the first words in history have a familiar ring to them.
3. The stakes are every bit as high as in an RTD season finale.
4. Characters from earlier in the series make surprise appearances before the opening titles – and we’re not just talking about the series recap.
5. There’s something funny going on at Stonehenge.
6. If you thought “The Lodger” looked like a money-saving episode, you soon realise where all that spare cash went.
7. There’s a scene in a bar rather reminiscent of the Star Wars cantina.
8. There’s an armada of alien spacecraft.
9. The Doctor gets to deliver one of his “Get out of here!” speeches.
10. There’s a brilliant scare involving a human skull.
11. You could market an entire range of action figures on the back of this episode alone.
12. Amy’s engagement ring is crucial.
13. It’ll make you want to go back and watch the whole series again.
14. Someone other than the Doctor pilots the TARDIS.
15. The Doctor and Amy face a foe reminiscent of fembots.
16. There’s a fantastic nod to The Thing.
17. The Pandorica does indeed open.
18. It also closes.
19. The episode ends in a cliffhanger so devilish that it seems utterly inescapable. It’s going to be a very, very long week.
20. 26 June 2010 is a very important date indeed – and not just because it’s the day of the series finale.

Amy Pond's Mother to Make an Appearance on Doctor Who

According to IMdb and Tardis Wiki, Amy's mother will make an appearance in Doctor Who episode 5.12 The Pandorica Opens.

She will be played by actress Karen Westwood, and at this point the character is only listed as being ''Amy's mother.'' I figure that it could possibly be only a small role.

Also take note that nothing is officially confirmed yet.
