One or two loose ends...

The finale was very cleverly done and makes sense in the most part but there are one or two things I need to try and figure out (apart from the stuff we know we don't know... yet )
- right at the start when Rory is with the (dead) Amy this is just after the Doctor was put in the Pandorica... what actually sets off getting the Doctor there coming back from the future with the funny hat on?
Everything then happens from this point with Rory using the screwdriver to set the Doctor free, sort Amy etc but we don't find out just *how* the Doctor manages to re-appear in the first place?
- the other one is probably an easy fix but...
- the other odd one is how when she does imagine him back he comes dressed for the wedding. He also doesn't seem too surprised by all of this, considering how down he was about 5 minutes before? What with the blue book does River somehow have more of a role in what happens than first appears???

- we get to 2000 odd years later, in the kinda parallel world where Earth is about to be erased as the calm eye of the storm is finally getting the erasure treatment
- which works out conveniently around the time the Tardis was going to explode that the alliance tried to stop happening but it kinda happened anyway in a roundabout way, or actually thinking about it did happen on that day as it's where the external force placed it during the last ep?
- so some clever jumping around with the Vortex manipulator and Doctor rides Pandorica into the heart of the storm et voila everything back
- but the Tardis still exploded? So even if Amy used the power of memories to bring the Doctor back through the crack, as he still looks to exist in some form would it be that strong to bring the Tardis as well?
- the other odd one is how when she does imagine him back he comes dressed for the wedding. He also doesn't seem too surprised by all of this, considering how down he was about 5 minutes before? What with the blue book does River somehow have more of a role in what happens than first appears???

Rory, after he had been guarding the the Pandorica told the Doctor what he told him 2000 years ago when he had a dead Amy in his arms. From this, the doctor was able to go back 2000 years using the vortex manipulator to tell Rory what Rory has just told him.
The Doctor managed to escape the Pandorica i as future released doc came back and told Rory to release him from the Pandorica.
Of course the Doctor wasn't surprised.
You did hear the story he told her when she was seven didn't you?
The one he reminded her of in the Forest?
How he stole (sorry Borrowed) the Old / New and very Blue Tardis.
Wibbly wobbly timey wimey. It's like in The Lodger. The Doctor reads the note from Amy even though she hasn't placed it there yet. She can't place it there until he sorts out the TARDIS, and he can't do that until she places it there.
It's time travel, I'm afraid.
She remembered him and the TARDIS and all of it, so that would bring it all back. "If it can be remembered, it can come back."
That's why he told her to remember, in the hope that she would.
Thanks. I couldn't think of how to explain it.
It happened in Forest of the Dead, too.
She was erased completely because of reality ending. The only reason Amy, the Doctor, River Song, Rory remained was because they were "anomolies".
Time was unravelling, probably everyone left in the world had gone by that point.
How to you think young Amelia was left in the museum, her Aunt must have dispeared before starting a search for her.
She was erased from history. This was explained in the episode.
I think the "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" line refers to the Doctor being old, but its a new incarnation (and new series/ era) and the TARDIS being "borrowed" and of course blue.
Yes.
Ahh now this is clever, he saves himself by going back to the previous events and putting the clues in, thinking in reverse time so he tells her to remember the story before he's actually gone and told it to her as his timeline is going backwards as he goes into the void... genius
Just have to accept the paradox theory and then it's all tied up :cool:
