Howling:What's the connection between the Big Bads?: Difference between revisions

::::: Since people do not recall the Silence as soon as they take their eyes off of them, we have no way of knowing how many times The Doctor has viewed them in his earlier incarnations. We only know the incidents that have been included in the Series 6 narrative. I'm sure that the novels and comics will have additional encounters.

== Thus far ==

::: Perhaps this statement means that while the storyline continues into the 50th Anniversary episode, that the action leaves Trenzalor, the TARDIS tomb and the Doctor's timestream and the story goes in a different direction, to a different location while, at the same time, working towards resolving some loose threads. Of course, even in the two-parter, [[The Impossible Astronaut (TV story)]] and [[Day of the Moon (TV story)]] there were 3 months between events in the first part and the second part. But they were both set in the U.S. [[User:Badwolff|Badwolff]] [[User talk:Badwolff|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:51, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

BioniclesaurKing4t2, "if the Whisper Men were empty shells to start with": In ''[[Clarence and the Whispermen]]'', which is available online [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvZMSrktskw here], they say, "We are not men, we are the Intelligence." That strongly suggests they're not even empty shells but projections -- albeit tangible ones -- & have no existence at all except what the GI gives them. Whether they were solely for "the purpose of Trenzalore" or not is another question. The GI might have used them for other purposes that we've not seen -- not that it matters much, unless we eventually do see them used for something else. Since the GI has supposedly now been destroyed in the process of corrupting the Doctor's timestream, we may not see them again, except maybe in flashback. (That'd be a pity, because they're rather effective monsters.) --[[Special:Contributions/89.241.75.103|89.241.75.103]]^{[[User talk:89.241.75.103#top|talk to me]]} 10:54, May 28, 2013 (UTC)

:The Snowmen seemed to be made of snow that had a real material existence. The Wisper Men (or Whispermen) seem not to be made of any actual material. To me, it just seems as if the Great Intelligence has got better at it & no longer needs to use pre-existing material. Apart from that, though, I'd say they are the same. --[[Special:Contributions/89.241.75.178|89.241.75.178]]^{[[User talk:89.241.75.178#top|talk to me]]} 22:26, May 28, 2013 (UTC)

@[[User:Badwolff|Badwolff]], if the seires ended on a cliffhanger, then '''technically''' there were no two-parters ''in'' the series.  Call it semantics, call it a play on words, call it misleading even, but it was technically accurate.  06:24, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

The problem with that, which must be '''in'''convenient for him (at least sometimes), is that he now can't stop speculation by making a statement. People simply say, "Moffat lies, so we can't rely on that," & speculate about what he's concealing. Anytime he '''needs''' to be believed, he's snookered himself. (I was 89 earlier.) --[[Special:Contributions/78.146.179.140|78.146.179.140]]^{[[User talk:78.146.179.140#top|talk to me]]} 12:01, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
