My concern about part 2 is that since "Pandora's Box" plays such a big part of this storyline then I fear the very RTD concept of "Hope" will be a big part of the resolution.
I was thinking the same thing.
But Hope is already in the box.
And on the forum.
The Doctor might Hope his way out of the box.
He got out of a birdcage so anything is possible.

More like a Brittle-star starfish actually.

>_< I was hoping to get through a day without thinking about the abomination that was the Doctor-in-a-cage episode!
Haven't read the million pages since last week's episode, so here are my thoughts (which may already have been poo pooed earlier).
Not a bad first episode, didn't see the end coming, with the Doctor being locked up. I think the voice on the intercom sounded like Davros, but I have a horrible feeling this will all be down to the Dream blokey from earlier in the series; and it'll end with a young Amy waking up in a piss soak bed, but I hope not.
Oh, and didn't River Song die in a different episode? So she can't die now too.

Pah! They were 9 inch screens you know!
Projection sets which had the tube at the bottom pointing up at a mirror which reflected it onto the translucent screen at the front.
Gave off dangerous amounts of xrays but fortunately most went upwards to damage the people in the room above instead of the watchers.
Quote: Matthew Stott @ June 19 2010, 8:48 PM BSTDid anyone else notice when they said only the Doctor can control the Tardis? Were they just wrong, or does that mean River is a future Doctor; or that it was some future Doctor, or Matt Smith's Doctor, or something, controlling it? And whose voice was it in the Tardis? Was it future Doctor? Or just an automated ship voice? Hmm.
Cough.
But also River said the Doctor taught her how to drive the Tardis, so that tends to rule her out as a "future Doctor" because they rarely meet each other.

Yeah, I think the minimum theoretical turn is a four-point turn.

Could be earlier on her personal time-line.
Not a bad episode. Cyber R was a little bit of a waste of space.
Maybe the Dr has a sex change and is Riversong?
There's an interesting little tit-bit on the front cover of this weeks Doctor Who Magazine relating to the next episode:

Since we're playing Theory Roulette, my latest is that the Doctor's in his little box for two thousand years, during which time the Alliance of Monsters makes Earth a living hell and generally f**k up the entire universe. The Doc realises that the only way to save everything is to destroy the Tardis, create a new big bang, and literally reset the entire universe.
And if that happens Moffat's got a blank slate to do what he likes with future series, including bringing the Timelords in as they'd no longer be time locked.

I think the Doctor has been preparing some sort of escape throughout the series; remember the alternate Doctor appearing in the second Angel's episode, asking Amy to remember something.
