 I think I've got it. You confess to them about your sins, they either tell you to forget these sins or just implant some kind of acceptance so that they feel better and don't dwell on the sins and maybe also to convince them not to do it again e.g. murder. Although this then brings up the point of why not just implant every child when they are just born with some kind of command to not break any laws. Also, with such a power, surely it was inevitable that there would be a rogue bunch eventually. --[[User:Coop3|Coop3]] [[User talk:Coop3|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:58, December 30, 2013 (UTC)
+I was trying to avoid causing confusion by putting my post beneath the person I was responding to. Sometimes these forums can move quite quickly and it can be hard to tell who's being addressed. It's what I've been doing since I joined. I'd say it's never been a problem in the past but as it could be the reason why even one of my posts wasn't responded to I can't know that to be true. I can know however up until now no-one has objected to me or anyone else doing it. Now on to my concerns  alluded to earlier.
+. In The Eleventh Hour there is a crack in time which turns out to be caused by the Silence attempting to prevent the Doctor giving his name and releasing the Time Lords leading to war. Is the destruction of the universe less of a disaster than this implending war?
+. In The Pandorica Opens many of the species gathered here form an alliance to prevent the destruction of the universe, but the aren't remotely concerned that this war might not be in their interests?
+. What was a Silent ship doing abandoned in Aickman Road?
+. The "Silents" presented here appear little more than drones or slaves, they certainly don't display the intellect, imagination or many of the gifts possessed on the so-called "Kovarian faction" nor does there seem to be any need for them to. Then again it also doesn't explain why they need to shoot lightning from there hands either.
+. The fact that this episode didn't deliver all it promised was disappointing but it wasn't surprising, Steven Moffat had quite clearly written himself into a corner with the nature of his "first question" whatever the answer was it was liable  to fail to meet the required crisis it was supposed to, because it meant revealing something about the mystery of the Doctor, Steven Moffat sidestepped it completely.
+. However this meant that the continuing theme on which the drama was built that mystery of what the Doctor had been running from all his life (meaning since he stole the TARDIS and fled Gallifrey) remained unanswered.
+. Thus we don't know why the Doctor reacted the way he did when he learned what the question was. Dorium seemed to understand the crisis that was at hand, but what happens here doesn't seem consistent with the nature of that crisis because most importantly...
+. The Doctor still failed to answer the question in circumstances we were clearly told he would not be able to fail to answer the question. That was the crisis and the fact he still managed not to answer was a cheat.[[User:DCT|DCT]] [[User talk:DCT|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:22, December 31, 2013 (UTC)
