"The whole universe will never have existed"....
So how to escape from this?
1,894 years later...
Amy's garden... I sense some "timey wimey" aspects to this one, we seem to back at episode 1... but with no Doctor
No stars in the sky, there are no such things as stars... But what is the Sun if not a star?
Daleks in the museum! and the Pandorica and who else...? A post-it note for Amy? How come nobody else notices it; a psychic paper post-it?
Those daleks are going to wake up later aren't they?
Amy's touch opens it, time energy? But she hasn't travelled yet? But Amy's in the Pandorica! "OK kid, this is where it gets complicated!"
Now back the 1,894 years... Universe ended 102AD... Hold on Rory is not an Auton any more?
Even more "timey-wimey" stuff... and the sonic screwdriver
Ooh, two timelines; two Doctors?
History has collpased, echoes in time, the Universe never happened, last light to go out... Very odd! A Nestene duplicate... Not an Auton...
"She's mostly dead"
1996, two Amys
"Earth alone in the sky"
Great line - "Why do you have to be so human?" - "Because I am not"
Rory is an iconic image
Wouldn't flames have melted plastic Rory?
It's Rory the Nestene/Auton security guard
Even more timey-wimey stuff...
Excellent retracing steps stuff... Cheap and nasty time travel and now 2 Doctors - one not very well!
That wasn't good news he whispered was it.... 12 minutes
History is still collapsing, reality will never have happened... dying will be a result
One dalek still around
The sun is an exploding Tardis! So there are no stars...
RiverSong is experiencing Groundhog day, for 2000 years
"Fezs are cool"
Flying Daleks aren't
"Due to kill me" "the light"
Extrapolate the whole Universe from the light in the Pandorica, reboot the Universe
A moment of infinite power... almost completely impossible... big bang 2 and a nearly dead Dr
Do dalek's ever call for mercy?
"Rule 1, The Dr lies"
Now The Dr is in the Pandorica
Reality still collpasing, history still being erased...
BIG BANG 2
The light from the Pandorica recreating everything and the vortex manipulator to do the travelling but won't that kill The Doctor?
We all wake up where we ought to be ... don't remember ... cracks in time will close but The Doctor will never have been born! "He doesn't really know me yet, now he never will..."
Nice acting... and an explanation... Amy your house was too big... Amy is the Doctor?
"You are special..."
"... gottcha"?!
"Geronimo"
The Doctor escapes... but who is that... 2 Doctors again and the crack in the Tardis monitor disappearing...
Was that crack in the road there in The Lodger episode?
Love the flashbacks and the theories about two Doctors were correct and the clothing aspects... Very clever... "Remember what?"
Back to episode 1 again... and the conclusion/explanation for everything is...?
"Silly old Doctor"...
"A story in your head" So is the whole of this series a dream like Bobby Ewing's in Dallas? How does this affect "The Cannon"?
Why can't they close until he'd on the other side of the cracks?
"Bye bye Pond" But she's in the other Tardis wearing odd sunglasses...?
This will be the wedding day that never was/should have been/ will The Doctotr appear again?
Will there be a resolve?
RiverSong!
Happy or sad? "Why am I sad"?
Someone left it for you... a woman ... the book of The Doctor's life is blank!" OMG
Amy is remembering and there is "someone missing"... She's telling the story of "my raggedy Doctor" who was real. Can she Tinkerbell like bring the Doctor back?
Clever or dangerous?
Something old, something new, something BLUE? Brilliant!
And so well dressed for an imaginary friend...
The Doctor can dance... well we knew that.
The doctor leaves and there is RiverSong... Not more bloody "spoilers!"
A proposal! No not really? Oh so confusing! "River who are you?" "You're going to found out very soon and I'm sorry but that's when everything changes..."
Who's on the phone? And Amy stays with The Doctor - Good and Rory> Well you can't have everything!
Incredible episode and I will mull it over later... Mrs NotaSheep missed it, just got back so another viewing tomorrow after the football!
I have done a bit of mulling but have yet to watch it again. I liked the episode and it was refreshingly not the usual Russell T. Davies season ending full of explosions and battles. I preferred the more cerebral feel of The Big Bang. However there is a central question that has not been answered... Who, or what, was the voice in the Tardis in the last episode (The Pandorica Opens) intoning that "silence will fall"? Have I missed something, The Doctor was lured to Stonehenge by the alliance of the evil but who made the TARDIS explode? Surely it is the exploding Tardis that caused the cracks in time, that created the alliance, that imprisoned The Doctor in the Pandorica and so on... So at the end of the episode/series, we still don't know who or what was the cause or indeed why. Oh well that should give me something to think about until the Christmas special...

A very clever and moving finale to the present Dr Who season. Outside of the classic SF stories of Mike Moorcock and Fritz Leiber, it was hard to believe this is a family programme !
You certainly had to think, which in the days of "Big Brother" is not a bad thing in the current climate. I suspect viewers will have to watch it again, because there was so much going on. Matt Smith is a superb actor. RTD's choice was an impeccable decision.
River Pond's haunting remarks at the end evoke a forthcoming tragedy which even The Doctor cannot see coming.
Great stuff and I am sure this will generate discussions in Dr Who forums for a long time...
