The Pandorica Opens (Bonus Blog)


Congratulations you guys! We worked together, got 100 followers on Instagram and now you get a bonus blog! The most votes were for "Matt Smith as the Villain" so here it is!


The Pandorica Opens; Season 5 Episode 12. Matt Smith (the Doctor) gets a clue from his friend Vincent Van Gogh, a painting that eventually leads the Doctor, Amy and River to Stonehenge. Underneath Stonehenge is the Pandorica, a box that is told to hold a creature more evil than anything else in existence. 

Van Gogh's message to the Doctor
The Doctor inspects the box and figures out that it is opening, from the inside...River proceeds to tell him that just about everything he has ever encountered in his 900 years is out there, above Stonehenge, waiting to "take the Pandorica" Matt deals with them in such a suspenseful, well spoken way. Take a look below.




Little does the Doctor (Matt Smith) know, the Pandorica was built to contain him. He had scared all these different races, the Cybermen, Daleks and even the Sontarans, so bad that they got together and planned a way to capture the "taker of worlds"; the Doctor.

Different Races Gathering To Capture The Doctor (Matt Smith)
The Doctor begged and pleaded that something bad was going to happen should they lock him in the Pandorica, but they did not listen to him. They put the Doctor in the box and sealed it tight.

The Villain Is Captured
Matt was the villain in this episode, though his actions may have been for the best, to the alien races, he was the bad guy.

Saturnynes


The Saturnynes are another terrifying species that Matt Smith has to deal with. They are in the episode "The Vampires of Venice" in season 5, episode 6.

You are made to believe that the Saturnynes are vampires throughout msot of the episode. Girls as young as 17 join the House of Calvierri to gain a better place in society. Once these girls, such as Isabella, daughter of a boat builder, join the house, their family never see's them again.


Isabella and her father

Rosanna Calvierri and her son, Francesco, choose the girls that make it into the house. Signora Calvierri only lets them in if Francesco "likes" them.


Rosanna and Francesco Calvierri

The Doctor brings Amy Pond and her fiance Rory Williams to Venice as a sort of...wedding gift. Shortly after arriving the Doctor notices Isabella's father causing a scene while he tries to look for her. This causes the Doctor to investigate.

Soon enough, we find out that these girls in the school have vampire like fangs, walk around outside with their faces covered, and that they don't even have reflections in a mirror.

The Calvierri Girls

We eventually find out that the Calvierris and the girls, are a lot worse than vampires. They are in fact, amphibious arthropod aliens who drink blood. They have razor sharp teeth, legs that comes from the abdomen, which are multi jointed and end in blade like bones that can pierce their prey.

The Saturnynes look like humans because they use a perception filter that manipulates the brainwaves of anyone looking at them..

They are eventually defeated by the Doctor (surprise!) by disabling the elements manipulator that stops the flooding of Venice. Rosanna commits suicide because she failed to secure the future of her race. I won't say anymore because spoilers.
