What's in the Pandorica? Your opinion

I have a feeling that the Pandorica isn't really a prison, but a TARDIS.


From there I am not sure where to go, maybe after the Doctor is thrown in he realizes that it is one and uses it to stop his TARDIS from exploding.

Two possibilities out of dozens:

-- It is THE TARDIS and ends up replacing 11th's TARDIS after it's destroyed.

-- It's the first TARDIS, the Original, the template, call it what you will.
 
The Timewyrm, a legendary enemy in the habit of personifying trickster goddesses of war, another could be the War Chief, he helped the War Lords build tardis like ships perhaps like we saw last episode. Also the cast credits have an actor uncredited with a role yet which could be a give away.
 
I like the idea it's a prison as well as it's one for Amy - why the cracks in the universe exist and why the TARDIS landed in her yard in the first place. (The Doctor already has a God complex, completely deserved of course. ;) )

"The Pandorica is a fairytale, isn't it?"

"Amelia Pond - sounds like someone in a fairytale"

Ok, not exact quotes, but you get the drift. I have suspected all along that neither Amy nor Rory (especially Rory) are all they seem. And the funny timey-wimey stuff at the very beginning... still needs explaining.

I also think we need to unpack a bit more the stuff about the Doctor hating himself more than anyone else in the universe could.
 
I think everyone is missing the obvious...the Pandorica is actually Superboy Prime's prision. The Guardians sent him to the Doctor's universe so that he could deal with him after the DCU grew tired of hearing him wine and bitch. They have been observing the Doctor's universe for centuries and understood that he'd have no problem dealing with the brat.
 
It's definitely a Tardis, there is a picture of it open and you can see that it is 'bigger on the inside'.
 
Maybe I'm nuts, but I keep thinking this is all related to the Time Lords and some kind of continued attempt to re-emerge from the Time Lock. All this talk about "end of time" and
stuff being removed from existence wreaks of the Time Lords. I know that lots of folks think that Moffett want's to make a clean break from the previous series so my theory would make no sense.
Or, maybe this is his way of tying into the big picture. I can't believe the Time Lords would just give up after coming so close to freeing themselves.
 
the timelords can make anything bigger on the inside than the out, but a TARDIS, not that theTimelords use that word, or should use that word, since it's just something Susan just made up, which supports my theory that Susan is the Master, is a ship
 
The Timelords call them "Time Capsules" or ships.

Only The Doctor calls it a TARDIS because Susan came up with the name.
 
I think it is the Valeyard aka the Doctor #13. And the crack was caused by the Valeyard merging his TARDIS with 11's. Like what 10 was afraid of in Time Crash when his and 5's briefly merged.
 
Every time another species has created similar technology, it's been given a different name. The Doctor specifically called it a TARDIS. Not a DARDIS. not a SKARDIS. Not a SIDRAT. Additionally, several Time Lords and other species familiar with both them and their technology, like the Karn Sisterhood, have referred to them as TARDISes, too.

Becuase most of the language we are hearing, even the english, is filtered through the TARDIS' translation buffer, and it's just trying to be cute...

Actually?

When Susan was aboard IF she was a Timelord, some say she wasn't, then since we know that the doctor is part of the translation filter attached tot he TARDIS, would Susan have also have been hooked into the loop as a workhorse rather than a leech like Ian and Barbara, that they could have been translating alternately, or in series or in parallel? The same too goes for Romana, but that would free up a lot of room for thinking and saving the day if his brain wasn't being used for a babel fish while he's factoring in against life and death.

I wonder if the Master and the Monk were so generous with their TARDISes translating for "everyone"?
