Meh, overkill. All you need to do to escape a nuclear explosion is drive 200 yards and hide behind a Jeep. I know, because that was the approved method in The Claws of Axos.

Didn't something similar happen in The Hand of Fear, too?

IIRC the light was described as a restoration field in the episode.

And the op forgets that the vortex manipulator was wired into the Pandorica so it's simple enough for the Doctor to re-wire so that it doesn't stasis lock him when it closes and he can pilot the Pandorica using the vortex manipulator into the exploding Tardis.

So no, no plot holes.

I thought you just had to lie flat on the ground with your hands over your head. That's what the yanks told us all in the 60s.

Besides, the Doctor said Amy wasn't actually completely dead before she went into the Pandorica...

No, the OP is right. It's not a timey-wimey plot-hole.

More spacey-wacey.
