Storyline
The Daleks, Cybermen and others have imprisoned in the Pandorica the most dangerous creature in the universe - the Doctor, who they say will in the future destroy the universe. Moving to 1996, a preteen Amy Pond visits a museum with her Aunt and opens the Pandorica, only to find the adult version of herself inside. Traveling back and forth in time, the Doctor tries to make sense of it all and find River Song, who is also missing. He realizes that there is only one explanation for a starless universe. Written by

Trivia
Steven Moffat had suggested that
Matt Smith wear a fez in this episode to give the Doctor some character, as well as for comic relief. Others on the production staff, who had seen Smith's enthusiasm for costume items for the Doctor, were concerned that the fez might become a permanent part of the Doctor's wardrobe. Moffat had, however, already written the fez-destruction scene (in which, in one fluid movement, Amy throws the fez in the air and River shoots it) with this in mind.

Goofs
When Amy wakes up in present time her nails are still painted orange as they've been. After greeting her parents and once the scene cuts to her phoning Rory (she's still in her pajamas) her nails are now painted red for the rest of the episode.

The whole season was worthless. I remember watching the show as a kid and finding it interesting but nothing really worth my time. When it came back with RTD holding the reins, it was brilliant. That first season with Christopher Eccleston as the Doctor made me actually take a step back and say 'Well finally there is something to waste an hour on every week.' Of course I was upset when David Tennant took over, it took a few episodes for me to get used to him, but IMHO he turned out to be the best. Now he's gone and in all fairness to Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant, I had to give Matt Smith a chance too. Wrong, wrong and really, really wrong. I wasted 13 hrs. watching that travesty and I would just like to ask for a refund. If it was canceled tomorrow I wouldn't even flinch. I put the 5th season of Doctor Who in the same category as I put the Torchwood disaster, Children of Earth. A waste of time that should be totally disregarded by anyone who calls themselves a fan.
