The Saturnyians saw silence, not silents. It is pretty much confirmed at the end of Vampires in Venice, when silence literally falls. The idea seems to be that at "the end of all things," there will no longer be any things to make noise, so there will be silence. So far, there hasn't been any indication that there is anything called a Silent. And, Moffat didn't write the Empty Planet, and he hasn't really done that kind of play on words in his past stories.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 01:44, November 23, 2010 (UTC) | The Saturnyians saw silence, not silents.

The clue is in the quote and it happens at the end of The Vampires of Venice - all sound turns to eerie silence without explanation. This whole Silents thing comes from the fact that there will be a character called The Silent in the opening two-parter of series 6. It is probably one of them. The new enemy in the same story, which could be The Silent for all we know, plays a huge part in the arc and harks back to series 5.

Why are we all so sure that they're saying "Silence will fall"? Why not "Silents"? Rosanna Calvierri said that the Saturnynians ran from them. The Saturnynians saw them and the end of all things through the cracks.
It's the sort of twist I'd expect from Steven Moffat (to play with spelling and pronunciation like that). And it makes some sense in my mind, too. Those who are silent are those who do not stand up for themselves. If one does not stand up for himself, who will stand up for him? How bad would it be to remain silent against some massive evil? The Silents will fall, but those who fight will remain. It's along the same lines as "Give us the Son and Heir" that we heard in SJA: The Empty Planet.
I think it could work out like this. Now, you tell me why or why not. Memcginn 16:32, November 22, 2010 (UTC)
