History Recap / DoctorWhoS31E12ThePandoricaOpens

** BadassBoast: The boast, while awesome, did not really make the Legion of Evil Aliens flee, it was all part of the plan.

->''"Hello, Stonehenge! Who takes the Pandorica takes the Universe! But bad news everyone -- 'cos guess [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall who!]] Hah! Except you lot -- all whizzing about, it's very distracting. Could you all just stay still for a minute, because I. AM. TALKING!"''

The one where the madman gets put in a box, and Rory [[DisneyDeath got better.]] [[DeathIsCheap Again.]] [[ActuallyADoombot Sorta.]]

[[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E3VictoryOfTheDaleks Cabinet War Rooms, 1941]]. The Allies have found a painting in Arles, and it's confirmed as a genuine van Gogh. After seeing the painting, UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill gets on the phone to the Doctor. River Song, in a 51st century prison, gets the call instead (relayed by the TARDIS) and breaks out after talking to Churchill. She makes her way to the Royal Gallery, and gets caught nicking the painting by [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E2TheBeastBelow Liz Ten]], who lets her go after ''she'' sees the painting. River then is able to procure a Vortex manipulator fresh off the wrist of a Time Agent (so fresh they're still attached!) after a bit of haggling, and travels in time.

We join the Doctor, who's taking Amy to the oldest planet in the universe. There's a message on the cliff side that no-one's ever translated, but that changes today. "Why today?", Amy asks. Because of the TARDIS' TranslatorMicrobes, answers the Doctor. They open the doors and see, in fifty-foot letters, "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E6TheArmageddonFactor Θ Σ]][[labelnote:*]][[GratuitousGreek For those who don't know the Greek alphabet]]: [[DontExplainTheJoke Theta Sigma]][[/labelnote]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E4TheTimeOfAngels Hello Sweetie!]]" River's also left the Doctor some coordinates, which take the TARDIS to Roman Britain (102 AD), where River's playing Cleopatra. As soon as the Doctor gets there, we finally get a peek at the painting: it's the TARDIS, and it's exploding!

* ObliviousToHisOwnDescription: The Doctor tells us of the legend of the being trapped inside the Pandorica: "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. 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 doesn't seem to realise that sounds exactly like what his enemies would describe him as.

*** The episode takes place ''before'' [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E4TheTimeOfAngels "The Time of Angels"]]/[[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E5FleshAndStone "Flesh and Stone"]] from River's perspective.
*** The Atraxi ([[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E1TheEleventhHour "The Eleventh Hour"]]), Paradigm Daleks ("[[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E3VictoryOfTheDaleks Victory of the Daleks]]") and Silurians ("[[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E8TheHungryEarth The Hungry Earth]]"/"[[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E9ColdBlood Cold Blood]]") are part of the Alliance.

** The Doctor's Academy nickname, ΘΣ or Theta Sigma, first mentioned as far back as the Fourth Doctor serial [[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E6TheArmageddonFactor "The Armageddon Factor"]], is part of River's message.

** The Doctor's speech to scare off the alien fleet is possibly what River [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble will be/was referring to]] when she talks about armies fleeing in his wake in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E9ForestOfTheDead "Forest of the Dead"]].

** The Doctor's "No plans, no backup, no weapons worth a damn!" calls back to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E12BadWolf "Bad Wolf"]] in Series 1.

** The Doctor's fate resembles Merlin's (trapped forever in an impenetrable prison by someone who uses his own power against him). In the Seventh Doctor story [[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E1Battlefield "Battlefield"]], the Doctor turns out to ''be'' Merlin. He should have paid attention to the end of that particular story...

* TomatoInTheMirror: Rory is not the human Amy and the Doctor traveled with. He's an Auton.

* NotNowWereTooBusyCryingOverYou: The episode makes an OverlyLongGag out of the Doctor completely failing to make the connection that the person he's talking to is Rory, a companion he had mourned the loss of in a previous episode. It ends up being just a simulacrum of Rory, but one that seems to have Rory's soul.

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E4TheTimeOfAngels You should never put the Doctor in a trap.]]
** This time Rory is the one wielding a sword, unlike [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E6TheVampiresOfVenice last time]].
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E2TheMindRobber Not the first time the TARDIS has exploded.]]
** For the supposed threat of ending the existence of the universe, the Doctor is kept imprisoned by [[EnemyMine all of his enemies]] who are afraid of him. In this respect, he has become, in the eyes of his enemies, a threat no better than '''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime RASSILON HIMSELF]]'''.
** The Doctor's Academy nickname, ΘΣ or Theta Sigma, first mentioned as far back as the Fourth Doctor serial "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E6TheArmageddonFactor The Armageddon Factor]]", is part of River's message.
** The Doctor's "No plans, no backup, no weapons worth a damn!" calls back to "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E13ThePartingOfTheWays "The Parting of the Ways]]" in Series 1.

** The Doctor's fate resembles Merlin's (trapped forever in an impenetrable prison by someone who uses his own power against him). In the Seventh Doctor episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E1Battlefield Battlefield]]", the Doctor turns out to ''be'' Merlin. He should have paid attention to the end of that particular story...
** The Underhenge's background music contains a lot of cues from the Cybermen stories of the Tenth Doctor.
** The Doctor's speech to scare off the alien fleet is possibly what River [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble will be/was referring to]] when she tells the Tenth Doctor "Armies will flee in your wake" in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E9ForestOfTheDead Forest of the Dead]]".

We join the Doctor, who's taking Amy to the oldest planet in the universe. There's a message on the cliff side that no-one's ever translated, but that changes today. "Why today?", Amy asks. Because of the TARDIS' TranslatorMicrobes, answers the Doctor. They open the doors and see, in fifty-foot letters, "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E6TheArmageddonFactor Θ Σ]][[labelnote:*]][[GratuitousGreek For those who don't know the Greek alphabet]]: [[DontExplainTheJoke Theta Sigma]][[/labelnote]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E4TheTimeOfAngels Hello Sweetie!]]". River's also left the Doctor some coordinates, which take the TARDIS to Roman Britain (102 AD), where River's playing Cleopatra. As soon as the Doctor gets there, we finally get a peek at the painting: it's the TARDIS, and it's exploding!

* TearsOfJoy: Amy cries once Rory names himself to her and she has no idea why she's so happy.

* VictoriasSecretCompartment: In the jail scene, look carefully where River takes her knock-out lipstick out from.
* VictoryThroughIntimidation: Subverted. The Doctor's epic speech ''seems'' to work, but it turns out that his enemies were luring him into a trap.

The episode opens in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E10VincentAndTheDoctor France, 1890]]. Creator/VincentVanGogh is ill and screaming his head off, and the entire town can hear him. His doctor explains to Vincent's landlady that he's ill, but she's more concerned about his new painting. It's weirder than usual.

[[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E3VictoryOfTheDaleks Cabinet War Rooms, 1941]]. The Allies have found a painting in Arles, and it's confirmed as a genuine Van Gogh. After seeing the painting, UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill gets on the phone to the Doctor.

River's also left the Doctor some coordinates, which take the TARDIS to Roman Britain (102AD), where River's playing Cleopatra. As soon as the Doctor gets there, we finally get a peek at the painting; it's the TARDIS, and it's exploding!

Cut to the trio on horseback, riding to Stonehenge. River and Amy have a Timey-Wimey conversation about their goodbye [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E5FleshAndStone last time]]; "I'll see you again when the Pandorica opens," River had said. Maybe she did say that, but she hasn't yet. Maybe she will have. They move aside a stone and go under Stonehenge. Inside, they find a huge box carved with complicated patterns and symbols: the Pandorica. More than just a fairytale, then, and something's trapped inside. "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", the Doctor says. Indestructible, can't be caught or reasoned with; it would just drop out of the sky and tear down their world. How did it get caught? Like all fairy-tales, a good wizard came and [[{{Foreshadowing}} tricked it]]. Amy takes a moment to mention that it's a bit like PandorasBox, her favourite book when she was a kid; all the bad things trapped inside it that came into the world when the box opened. This arouses the Doctor's suspicion: Amy's favourite subject at school, the Romans, and now her favourite childhood book. "Never overlook a coincidence. Unless you're busy, then always overlook a coincidence."

At least 10,000 starships -- but it could be 100,000, a million, a hundred million; the scanners are going into overload. A voice comes through; Daleks. Dalek battleships, at least 12,000 armed to the teeth. Not a problem because they have the element of surprise! The three of them can sneak attack the 12,000 battleships... and they'll be killed... you know what, never mind. Then Cybermen, too; but we can [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E13Doomsday turn them against each other]], the Daleks are so angry they'll fight anyone! Then there's more coming through: Sontarans, the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E4AliensOfLondon Slitheen]] family, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E1SmithAndJones Judoon]], [[Recap/DoctorWho2006CSTheRunawayBride Roboform]], [[Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures Chelonians]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E1SpearheadFromSpace Nestene]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E1Galaxy4 Drahvins]], [[Recap/DoctorWho2005CSTheChristmasInvasion Sycorax]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E1TerrorOfTheZygons Zygons]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E1TheEleventhHour Atraxi]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS10E3FrontierInSpace Draconians]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E4TheVisitation Terileptils]]. They're all here for the Pandorica. What could it possibly be? Everything that's ever hated the Doctor is coming for him tonight. River tells him to run, just this once, just run; he can't win, he can't even fight.

Back to Underhenge, the Doctor keeps scanning the Box, when Amy pulls out [[ChekhovsGun the engagement ring]]. "Are you proposing to someone?" she asks. No, it was a friend of his, the Doctor says, someone he lost. He tries to coax Amy into remembering Rory: sometimes, people fall out of the world, but they leave things behind; faces in photographs, half-eaten meals, luggage, rings. Nothing is ever completely forgotten; if they can be remembered they can come back. The night he picked Amy up -- her house was too big, too many empty rooms. Doesn't it bother her that her life doesn't make any sense?

Suddenly, something is shooting at them and the Doctor needs to get a closer look. He has a brilliant plan --

Amy manages to stumble behind a big door and shut it. It rattles a bit and falls open, revealing the Cyberman with a sword stabbed through it and pinned to the wood. Amy passes out, but Rory, in full Roman gear, catches her and carries her out. The Doctor scans her and starts babbling, looking at two huge [[{{BFG}} Cyberguns]]; Cybermen, Cyberweapons, why is one of them in there, was it locked in by one of its own? There's something right in his face that he's missing, something right in front of him, something big. He'll get it in a minute. He walks away from Rory and --

There's commotion above them before the Doctor can answer, and the sky above Stonehenge is filled with all kinds of alien spaceships. They're surrounded. The Doctor tells River to get the TARDIS to him, while he grabs the scanner and shouts into it. He addresses each and every single one of the starships: could they all stop whizzing about please, because "'''[[LargeHam I!]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E7TheIdiotsLantern AM!]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis TALKING!]]'''". Who has the Pandorica? He does, next question. Who's coming to take it? Look at him:

->'''The Doctor:''' [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E13ThePartingOfTheWays No plans, no backup, no weapons worth a damn]]. Oh, and something else I don't have: Anything. To. Lose. So, if you're sitting up there with your silly little spaceships and your silly little guns and you've any plans on taking the Pandorica ''tonight''; just remember who's standing in your way. Remember every black day I ever stopped you. And then, [[ChewingTheScenery AND THEN]], do the smart thing. (''{{beat}}'') '''''Let somebody else try first.'''''

The TARDIS is still uncontrollable, the doors won't open and again that creepy voice from ''nowhere'' says "silence will fall". The Pandorica gives off a high-pitched whine and suddenly all the Romans stop, [[TomatoInTheMirror including Rory]]. A light comes from the Pandorica and when the Romans start up again, the ones underground are frog-marching the Doctor towards it. In reality, the Romans are perfected Autons, part of the Nestene consciousness, made to forget what they really were -- until it was time. Rory's [[HumanityIsInfectious struggling to keep hold of his humanity]], while trying to get Amy away. "I'm Rory! I'm Rory! I'm Rory --"

"-- Williams. From Leadworth. My boyfriend. How could I ever forget you?" Oh, ''Amy''.

Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans; they've all formed [[LegionOfDoom an alliance against the Doctor]]. They have deduced that the cracks in time are threatening reality and erasing all other universes, and that they have spawned from the explosion of the TARDIS. They're here to save reality from the Doctor under the (false) logic that only he can pilot the TARDIS, shutting him in the Pandorica (while he shouts desperately) in hopes that the TARDIS won't explode without him around. Elsewhere in time and space, River opens the TARDIS doors to... a slab of concrete, as behind her the ship starts to explode. "[[TearJerker I'm sorry, my love.]]" The alliance has failed. We zoom out from Rory holding Amy's body, a shot of the Earth against stars and galaxies exploding until all fades out in a black void of nothingness --

** It's worse than that -- a Cyberman claims that "[[AC:All universes will be deleted.]]" -- meaning it's a ''[[ApocalypseHow/ClassZ Class Z]]''.

* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: "I hate good wizards in fairy tales. They always turn out to be him." It's a ShoutOut to the Seventh Doctor story "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS26E1Battlefield Battlefield]]", where the Doctor was revealed to be Merlin. It may be worth noting at this point that the Doctor's fate at the end of the episode is quite similar to Merlin's (sealed in an impenetrable cave[=/=]castle of air[=/=]whatever for the whole of eternity) and may lead to thematically similar results (without Merlin, Arthur's Britain falls; without the Doctor, the ''universe will cease to exist'').

** The Doctor's Academy Nickname, ΘΣ or Theta Sigma, first mentioned as far back as the Fourth Doctor serial "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E6TheArmageddonFactor The Armageddon Factor]]", is part of River's message.

*** The episode takes place ''before'' "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E4TheTimeOfAngels The Time of Angels]]"/"Flesh and Stone" from River's perspective.
*** The Atraxi ("The Eleventh Hour"), Paradigm Daleks ("[[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E3VictoryOfTheDaleks Victory of the Daleks]]") and Silurians ("[[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E8TheHungryEarth The Hungry Earth]]"/"[[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E9ColdBlood Cold Blood]]") are part of the Alliance.

** The Underhenge's background music contains a lot of cues from the Cyberman stories of the Tenth Doctor.

** This isn't the first time someone's yelled [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E7TheIdiotsLantern "I! AM! TALKING!"]]... only that time, the Doctor was the one being shouted at.

''[[[TemptingFate The rest of the Cyberman walks in and picks up its head]]]''
* DarkestHour: To catalogue: Amy is dead, Rory's the undead Auton who killed her, the Doctor's locked in the perfect prison, River's in the exploding TARDIS, the crack in Amy's wall is about to devour all of time and space and that's ''because'' these things are all true. It could only be worse if there were snakes in here.

* {{Dissimile}}: The Doctor uses one to explain what the Cybermen do: "It's just like being an organ donor, except you're alive and sort of... screaming" .

''[a loud clatter is heard from outside.]''\\

** The Doctor notices something's oddly coincidental when he founds out that Pandora's Box was Amy's favourite book, and Roman history was Amy's favourite subject.
** The fact that the half-disassembled Cyberman attacked Amy and the Doctor in an attempt to assimilate them, yet ''hadn't'' done so to any of the Roman troops who'd been camped nearby, is an early sign that the Romans are plastic, not flesh.

%% For out-of-universe FridgeLogic, see Headscratchers/DoctorWho2010Series.

* HeroicWillpower: Rory uses this to fight his Auton programing. He lasts much longer than the other Autons but the ArmCannon comes out regardless.

** The new race of realistic "autonomous Autons", with emotions and memories, first appeared in the AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho audio "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoNEDAS2E3BraveNewTown Brave New Town]]".

** Variation -- the message relayed by the one-off heroes at the beginning turns out to have been sent by the LegionOfDoom pretending to respond to it.

* LegionOfDoom: The Daleks, Cybermen, the Sontarans, the Judoon, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E10LoveAndMonsters the Hoix]], [[Series/{{Torchwood}} the Weevils, the Blowfish]], [[Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures the Uvodni]], [[Recap/DoctorWho2005CSTheChristmasInvasion the Sycorax]], the Silurians, the Autons and Nestenes, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E1TheEleventhHour the Atraxi]], [[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E4TheVisitation the Terileptils]], the Draconians, [[Recap/DoctorWho2006CSTheRunawayBride the Roboform]], the Zygons, the Slitheen, the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS3E1Galaxy4 Drahvin]] and the Chelonians (from the Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse) have all joined forces to attempt to prevent the explosion of the TARDIS and thus TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt by imprisoning the Doctor in the Pandorica. It also counts as an EnemyMine for the Daleks and Cybermen in regards to "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E13Doomsday Doomsday]]". Of note is that the Atraxi, Weevils, Uvodni and the Blowfish are merely easily-missed extras in crowd shots whereas the Terileptils, Draconians, Drahvin, Chelonians and Slitheen only "appear" as name-checks by River. River also mentions the Haemogoth, an obscure race that were only mentioned in a novel.
* LookADistraction: The Doctor and Amy both do this in turn to draw the cyber-arm's fire. "LOOK AT ME! I'M A TARGET!"

* NotUsingTheZWord: Just like in their [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E1Rose only previous appearance]] in the Revival Series, the Autons are never referred to as Autons. Their being controlled by the Nestene Consciousness is mentioned, but not their name.
* NothingIsScarier: Never have the words "silence will fall" been more scary. ''Even the background music stops.'' Earlier in the episode, we suddenly hear "silence will fall spoken by a hideous, rasping voice out of goddamn nowhere, just before the TARDIS is hijacked. The source of the sound, and hence the source of the tampering, is ''never shown''.
* ObliviousToHisOwnDescription: The Doctor tells us of the legend of the being trapped inside the Pandorica: "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. 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 doesn't seem to realise that sounds exactly what his enemies would describe him as.

* PoisonAndCureGambit: River puts micro explosives into a dealer's wine and then offers him the detonator to buy for her black-market Vortex manipulator.

* RevengeBeforeReason: The Alliance is too busy locking the Doctor away to listen to him explaining why locking him in the Pandorica is a ''very bad idea.''
* RoboticReveal: Rory and the other Romans are revealed to be autons when they react to the signal and produce [[ArmCannon handguns]].

* SealedEvilInACan: The Doctor investigates the eponymous Pandorica, which is advertised as containing the most feared being in the universe and is starting to open. It's empty. The Pandorica was created by [[LegionOfDoom a coalition of the Doctor's enemies]] to trap him inside, because they believe he will destroy the universe, and it's opening so that they can put him in -- due to time travel, he has arrived before the myth started. The Doctor is predictably fascinated; "What could be so dangerous?" he wonders. You.

* EldritchAbomination: The Pandorica was built to hold "a nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies". [[spoiler:It's [[HumanoidAbomination the Doctor]] himself]].
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: The end of the episode -- the whole universe is {{RetGone}}.

'''The Doctor:''' ... Hello again.

* EldritchAbomination: The Pandorica was built to hold "a nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies". [[Spoiler:It's [[HumanoidAbomination the Doctor]] himself]].

* EldritchAbomination: The Pandorica was built to hold "a nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies": [[HumanoidAbomination the Doctor]].

* LookADistraction: The Doctor and Amy both do this in turn to draw the cyber-arm's fire. "LOOK AT ME! I"M A TARGET!"

->''"Hello, Stonehenge! Who takes the Pandorica takes the Universe! But bad news everyone –- 'cos guess [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall who!]] Hah! Except you lot -- all whizzing about, it's very distracting. Could you all just stay still for a minute, because I. AM. TALKING!"''

The one with the Doc-in-a-box, where Rory [[DisneyDeath got better.]] [[DeathIsCheap Again.]] [[ActuallyADoombot Sorta.]]

* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: "I hate good wizards in fairy tales. They always turn out to be him." It's a ShoutOut to the Seventh Doctor story "[[DoctorWhoS26E1Battlefield Battlefield]]", where the Doctor was revealed to be Merlin. It may be worth noting at this point that the Doctor's fate at the end of the episode is quite similar to Merlin's (sealed in an impenetrable cave[=/=]castle of air[=/=]whatever for the whole of eternity) and may lead to thematically similar results (without Merlin, Arthur's Britain falls; without the Doctor, the ''universe will cease to exist'').

And then the [[MusicalisInterruptus background music stops]], mid-note.

* MusicalisInterruptus: "Silence will fall" because the Universe has just ended and the musicians no longer exist, that's why.

** BigDamnVillains: Hohoho, they think they're saving the universe. [[UnwittingPawn They're not.]] [[DoubleSubversion As of the next episode, they actually did.]] Just not as they intended.

* TookALevelInBadass: Rory is no longer making a fool out of himself when he tries to fight. Now he's a Roman centurion, a proper Roman, filled with "Roman stuff" who can bring down a Cyberman! With a ''sword''.

The aliens must have dropped the VillainBall, because [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome they all get the hell out.]] For half an hour, anyway, to decide who gets to take the first shot.

"-- [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Williams. From Leadworth. My boyfriend. How could I ever forget you?"]] Oh, ''Amy''.

'''River:''' ''[pulls out a blaster and disintegrates a table]'' [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Where do I come from?]]
