Talk:The Question

The initial thought in the article is correct. The question must never be answered. But what is the question? It is hidden in plain sight, meaning that it is an obvious question. It is also a question that if answered would destroy the very fabric of time and space. It is therefore very dangerous. Only Time Lords can answer it because they can go to anywhere and to any time. The Doctor is the last of the the Time Lords. That is why "The Silence" wish to keep it a secret and will stop at anything to keep someone from answering the question, even if it means killing the Doctor. They consider themselves the good guys but they are extremists and as such also pose a danger to the universe.

What is the question that is hidden in plain sight? It is definitely not "What is the Doctor's name." It is an age old question, and the answer in the wrong hands could destroy the universe. That is why no one being, not even a Time Lord must ever reveal the answer to the question.

This is a brilliant strategy by the author to include such an intriguing cliffhanger. I would have also included it in one of my stories had I been able to do so. The question could apply to any story. What is the fundamental age old question that must not be answered?

"Spoilers!"
