Line 70:
* [[Apocalypse How]]: Class Z. It'll be as if the universe never existed.
* [[Apologetic Attacker]]: Rory is forced to kill Amy, apologising all the time.
* [[Back
* [[Badass Abnormal]]: Rory, since he is actually an Auton.
* [[Badass Boast]]: Eleven delivers his best speech here, telling everyone fighting over the Pandorica to remember just how many times he's beaten each of them, and to do the smart thing..."Let someone else try first."
Line 175:
** The Cyberman reattaching its head is very similar to a scene in ''[[The Faculty]]''.
*** Or a certain death-scene from the game Dead Space.
** The idea of agents/replicants who do not know their true nature and, on a signal, activate their attack goes back to ''[[The Manchurian Candidate (novel)|The Manchurian Candidate]]'' (hence the [[Manchurian Agent]] trope) and, more recently, ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' (Rory's shock as he activates and tries to march off is similar to the [[Tomato in the Mirror]] Cylons).
*** Also a bit [[Dollhouse]].
* [[Skyward Scream]]: The Doctor calling out to every monster in the sky: "'''I. AM. TALKING!'''"
* [[Subverted Trope]]: Count 'em.
** [[Back
** [[Evil Versus Evil]]: Looks like the [[Legion of Doom]]'s been just fooling the Doctor with their fleet.
** [[Real After All]]: The Doctor has passed off the Pandorica as a [[Fairy Tale]], now he sees the real thing. Except it ''is'' just a [[Fairy Tale]], and this one has been created by the allied villains as both trap and bait for him
Line 207:
* [[Title Drop]]: ''The Pandorica Opens'' is the title of Vincent's painting.
* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: Rory
* [[Took a Level
** How many fans felt about the Cybermen in this episode.
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: Vincent, Churchill, and River Song for the villain alliance's [[Kansas City Shuffle]], along with the Doctor himself. River again, and potentially the villains themselves, for the as yet unrevealed real [[Big Bad]].
