* They can't get trapped in car doors like neckties can. Eleven was wearing a necktie that Amy Pond [[NecktieLeash grabbed]] and slammed a car door onto, then later in the episode when he got the chance to change clothes, out of the choices he had he ultimately picked a bow tie. Coincidence? Perhaps not.

Design-wise it has similarities to both, minus the BiggerOnTheInside traits. Like the Pandorica the Void Ship seems designed to be indestructible; it was designed to escape the universe and space-time itself, and implicitly immune to [[HellIsWar the utter chaos of the Time War]]. The Doctor didn't even destroy the Void Ship, but it just got sucked into the Void due to being covered in Void Stuff. The Genesis Ark is a Time Lord prison meant to hold millions of Daleks during the Last Great Time War. In order to seal the Doctor away forever the Daleks looked over everything they still had on these two hyper-advanced vessels and combine their best traits to make the perfect prison; one where [[AndIMustScream the Doctor would never succumb to the flow of time]] like the Void Ship, with the Alliance either pitching in or there mainly to hoodwink the Doctor so he can actually be lured into the Pandorica.

While the purpose of each New Paradigm Dalek is more or less spelled out, the Eternal's purpose isn't. However, it wouldn't be hard to imagine the Daleks wanting an "insurance policy": pretty much everything after the Time War has been either the Daleks recovering from the brink or whatever Dalek force being a survivor of the Time War. In addition the only reason the Ironsides were able to use the Progenitor Device (which itself was the only one known to survive) is because they conned the Doctor since their (presumably) Davros-derived DNA wasn't considered pure. Not wanting to be stuck in the same cycle of coming back from near-extinction and rebuilding before their plans get mucked up again, the New Dalek Paradigm made the Eternal to fulfill the same function as the Cult of Skaro, just without the willingness to divert from [[AbsoluteXenophobe the prime directive]] that Sec had. In-universe this would explain why we never see the Dalek Eternal after "Victory of the Daleks"-since the Eternal's role is to keep the Dalek race alive [[GenreSavvy it was smart enough to know being on the front lines was risky]] and being a behind-the-scenes figure would avoid confronting the Doctor.

Doctor. Despite the setbacks the Daleks have never been driven to near-extinction since "Victory of the Daleks" so the plan clearly worked.

[[WMG: The Kovarian Chapter wanted to MercyKill the entire universe]]
It's been commented that the Kovarian Chapter's two plans make no sense because in trying to stop a new Time War, they come close to destroying the universe twice. But maybe they were just fine with this because they considered another Time War to be a FateWorseThanDeath for all of existance, and would rather everyone be dead than suffer through it.

[[WMG: The real reason the Doctor calls Rory "Mr. Pond"...]]
...has nothing to do with the Doctor's confusion of Terran customs, TheMaidenNameDebate, or any veiled comment on [[HenpeckedHusband who wears the proverbial pants in their household]]. Amy Pond was, as the Doctor would later observe in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E4ThePowerOfThree "The Power of Three"]], "The first face this face saw." She succeeded where the Doctor failed in solving the dilemma of the Space Whale in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E2TheBeastBelow "The Beast Below"]]. In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E8TheHungryEarth "The Hungry Earth"]], the Doctor declared her to be the best person to represent humanity in negotiating with the Silurians. Over the season, in the Doctor's mind, the name "Pond" came to represent the best of humanity. When Rory was willing to stand guard over Amy and the Pandorica in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E13TheBigBang "The Big Bang"]], he became worthy of the title "Pond". Two years later, in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E2DinosaursOnASpaceship "Dinosaurs On a Spaceship"]], when Brian Williams risked his life to co-pilot the Silurian Ark to safety, the Doctor called him "Mr. Pond". When the Doctor calls Rory or Brian "Mr. Pond", it's simply the highest compliment of which he's capable.

[[WMG: Bow Ties Are Cool Because...]]
* They can't get trapped in car doors like neckties can. Eleven was wearing a necktie that Amy Pond [[NecktieLeash grabbed]] and slammed a car door onto, then later in the episode when he got the chance to change clothes, out of the choices he had he ultimately picked a bow tie. Coincidence? Perhaps not.
