Story Arcs of Series Five

Hello, hello, hello...there are more arcs than ever before this series, and I'm here, updating my old list that I made of the possibilities...

The Cracks in Space/Time/Spacetime

This is the most likely arc - it hasn't been done before, and Prisoner Zero taunting the Doctor that he didn't know what caused them.

5.1: A crack appears in Amy's wall.

5.1: Prisoner Zero taunts the Doctor.

5.1: The same shape turns up on the TARDIS scanner, before being switched off by the Doctor.

5.2: A similar crack lies on the side of Starship UK.

5.3: There is a crack on the Cabinet Room wall.

5.5: The cracks are explained to be the cause of a huge explosion on 26 June 2010.

5.6: The Vampires have come through a Crack.

5.6: There is a crack in the sky.

5.6: There is a crack in the TARDIS lock.

5.9: The Doctor finds a peice of broken Tardis in the crack.

According to DWM, 1.13 is 'The Big Bang'.

The Pandorica opening/silence falling

This is the second most likely arc, yet it seems to me a bit like 'the gate is waiting for you' and 'the darkness is coming'. Hmm...

5.1: Prisoner Zero tells the Doctor of the pandorica and the silence.

5.5: The Doctor reckons it's to do with the cracks, and the apparent continuity errors throughout the RTD era.

5.5: River Song tells the Doctor that they will meet again when the Pandorica opens, to which the Doctor replies with 'that's a fairy tale'.

5.6: Venice falls silent.

According to DWM, 'The Pandorica Opens' is the title of 5.12.

No Ducks in the Duck Pond

5.1: It could be a throwaway line, desigined to move the action along, or something very much important indeed...on my 'Eleventh Hour synopsis' on 3rd April, I reckoned this was part of the plot. Could it be...or is it too much like 'the bees are disappearing'?
5.5: It is revealed that this is to do with the Cracks, erasing the ducks.

A Madman with a box

5:1 Apparaently this may one day save Amy's life. How about in Amy's Choice, perhaps? Well, that wasn't right, but I'll leave it here anyway.

Amy's Wedding

5.1: Nobody's suggested this yet, but what if her husband's an alien?
5.5: Well, close enough: On her wedding day, the huge explosion of 26062010 initiates.
5.9: Rory dies and is engulfed by the crack.
