There are 2 likely answers. One is that in the original timeline the Silence were never driven away, but that was changed when the Doctor, Amy, and River travelled back in time to 1969. The obvious problem with that theory is that the future Doctor and Canton already knew what was going to happen. The more likely reason is that the Silence weren't actually all driven away from Earth. Since we will almost certainly be seeing the Silence again this season, it is likely that the Silence are still all over the planet in 2011.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 14:20, May 14, 2011 (UTC) | There are 2 likely answers.

That's possible, although the TARDIS-style machine on Aickman Rd. was abandoned, and was being operated automatically by a hologram. In ''Day of the Moon'', the Doctor implied that after he and River killed all the Silence in the TARDISish machine, the automatic hologram turned on and took the thing to Aickman Rd. Of course, it's possible that there were silence in ''The Lodger'', and we just don't remember them.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 15:16, May 14, 2011 (UTC) | That's possible, although the TARDIS-style machine on Aickman Rd. was abandoned, and was being operated automatically by a hologram.

Revision as of 15:33, 14 May 2011
Here's something that's been bugging me from The Impossible Astronaught/Day of the Moon. While the Silence were driven from Earth by humanity in 1969, there is a single Silence on a cliff overlooking the Doctor's death/funeral in 2011.
So what they heck is he doing there? He can't be there by accident, as Earth is an incredibly dangerious place for the Silence at that point in time and they wouldn't be just wandering around the desert. If I had to guess there are 2 likely answers:
- The Silence is on an offical mission and is there to ensure the Docotor's death goes off as planned.
- The Silence in question is a turncoat who was invited along with everyone else and simply got envelope 5 (which no one else knew existed). Falrinn 03:53, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
