I've got a theory (DW series 6 vague meta thoughts)
It's in its infancy. And I'm not sure what I think of it.
Yes, I know I haven't talked about Amy, Pirate King of the High Seas.
1. Why didn't the Doctor try to help bring Rory back? Answer: (in keeping with the theory I haven't yet expounded upon) The Doctor was testing something.
There are two roads to this theory. Road one is the more basic one, the one which isn't much of a theory at all. Road two is a bit sick and twisted and brings me back to a thought I had last season round the time of Amy's Choice (or possibly after the Silurians).
Road one is that Amy is remembering being stuck in some wacky place while they stole her baby (hence, eye-patch lady), and doesn't really explain the Doctor sort of standing back doing nothing while Amy failed at CPR (to be fair, I can't name any instance of Doctor-given CPR off the top of my head, but he did have... such an odd look on his face during the whole thing)
Road two is that this is all in Amy's head (I had a thought about how last season was memories and fairy tales, and this season is nightmares and dreams--but I was high on no sleep and Midsomer Murders, so my intelligence on that is suspect). I don't mean all of it, mind--the Silents, for instance, are real. But I mean things like Rory dying and then not-dying, pirates, a spaceship that exists in another universe, and a Siren-cum-holographic doctor.
Road two's Doctor is enough like the real Doctor that a part of him is a bit "..." about it all, and thus, his testing--
We know that Amy would rather die than live without Rory (Amy's Choice, again). If this is all in Amy's head, then she, logically, controls it. If Rory dies, he can't stay dead, because Amy's subconscious won't let him.
The Doctor in Amy's head has now figured this out (if it's not all in my head, and if it is, I sense a ridiculously long fic in the offing).
(Road two also has a fork in the road in that Rory and the Doctor could be the real them, injected into the matrices of Amy's dreamscapes/hallucinations)
2. The Silents said You are Amelia Pond. We do you honor. You will bring the Silents. (I checked) Amy will bring the Silents. But how? Also, how fucking scary is it to be told by freaky-ass aliens who are ruling your planet that they're doing you honor?
3. I once considered the thought (in an unfinished fic) that Amy causes the explosion that destroys the TARDIS--she causes the cracks in order to bring Rory back to life. Because I thought then, and still do, that Amy wouldn't want Rory dead, that she would try to save him, even if it meant destroying the universe to do it. (Amy is a woman who loves passionately, and desperately in some ways. This is not saying she's a bad person, there are a lot of people when faced with the choice of the person they love and the fate of the universe who would choose the person--and Amy believes in the Doctor, that he can fix anything, so even if she makes that choice, he can fix it, right?)
4. We still don't know why the TARDIS exploded. You can argue that the Silents cause it, that it's implied (and maybe it is)--but then again, "Silents will fall" was already predicted, during Amy's time when River left the TARDIS. And the Silents did fall. After the TARDIS exploded, but before it exploded.
5. Everyone says time can be re-written. It's repeated a lot. But. But, I'm not sure it ever actually happens? Rory died, but he came back to life. The cracks closed, but the TARDIS exploded. River's diary was empty and full at the same time. Amy has no family, but her mum and dad were always in that great big house (why did they move there in the first place? It wasn't because they were gone and her aunt had to take her in, after all) [perhaps I'm grasping at straws here]
6. Amy is going to bring the Silents to Earth, and in doing so, save the Doctor (or think she's saving him). Amy is going to cause the cracks, Amy is going to explode the TARDIS, Amy is going to end the universe (but they've already saved it). --take your pick of my crack theories.
7. It feels too simple that the Silents cause the TARDIS to explode (the supposition during Pandorica was that the "Doctor in the TARDIS" would cause the end of the universe, only Dr. Song was there and not the definite article, and the universe didn't end anyway, so--). I suppose it's possible, though. Why would they do it? What is the point of their existence, aside from taunting Amy (why did they kidnap her, anyway? Why not Canton? What is so special about Amelia Pond whom they shouldn't even know, given that it was 1969?)
8. I have too many parenthetical statements going on, good grief. (and I haven't even talked about the pregnancy that never was, and there I go again)
9. The Silents are the stuff of nightmares, pirates are dreams. The Siren is both (myths and legends again, eh). If this is all inside Amy's head, it's very elaborate (what are they trying to accomplish?)
And it probably isn't.
I shall now go back to, um, idk. Not-thinking, possibly.

Our new 'crack in the wall' is the lady with the eyepatch.
But with the Silents going all the way back to the first Smith
episode, I think there's more to it than just that.
Crazy eye-patch lady might just be an illusion put in Amy's mind by the stress of the possible pregnancy, and the Doctor's 'death' amongst other things. Remembering these things can put a great strain on the psyche, combined with the whole 'not remembering Rory' thing last series leads me to believe that Amy's on some kind of nervous breakdown track, really.

My friend thinks River is Amy's daughter... I'm hoping not because I ship those two like whoa...

As long as there is a damned reason for the CPR debacle. I like the idea this is all in Amy's head. Would explain how Rory, the NURSE didn't tell her the correct way to do it... Amy wouldnt likely know off hand.
Amy causes the end of the universe. Man, she and Rose should chat.
5. I know that's standard tenant of the DW verse for obvious reasons. I've always subscribed to theory that you can't change the past because it already happened. If you change something... the universe and time itself will compensate to ensure the eventual outcome. Yeah, I just read "Replay" which is about a guy relieving the last 25 years of his life ala groundhog day. He decides to try and stop the Kennedy assassination by writing a threatening letter to JFK from Lee Harvey Oswald so Oswald is arrested and in jail while Kennedy was in Dallas. So someone else assassinates Kennedy. Other guy is assassinated by Jack Ruby.
