:4. If Silents are artificially engineered, then Kovarian could have engineered her batch differently, and then those helping the Doctor defend Trenzalore could have been engineered based on Kovarians ideas. Also, they draw in electricity from around them before shooting it out, so their conducting abilities might be an exploitation of the materials of their synthetic forms.<br/> | :4.

::1.When the Doctor discovered the cracks in The Eleventh Hour his diagnosis was that they were the product of two parts of space and time that should never have touched "pressed together." That's pressed not pressing which is different. | |||
::In Flesh And Stone he repeats is diagnosis and speculates the cause as an explosion so big it cause every point in history to crack. How this relates to the forbidden contact or indeed how even a TARDIS explosion could do this is unexplained and unclear. The date of the explosion is also identified. These details about the explosion the cracks and the date are revisited throughout the series whenever it is felt the audience needs their memory jogging until, while River is flying the Tardis in The Pandorica opens the following events occur: a crack appears in the TARDIS console, an unidentified member of the Silence declares "Silence Will Fall" and the TARDIS explodes - in that order. The implication is that the crack causes the TARDIS explosion rather then the TARDIS explosion causing the crack. The TARDIS explosion then spreads the crack though time. There is also the suggestion that the crack is what lets the Silence enter to detonate the TARDIS. This is currently a theory, but the series has to resolve the point so naturally revisits it in The Big Bang. | |||
::The Big Bang doesn't actually contain anything new on the cause of the crack. It's main detail is to tell us that although the universe is erased Amy has basically had a blueprint of it all downloaded into her head while she slept. The Doctor says all Amy has to do is remember in order to use it. I suspect there's a bit more to it than that, Amy apparently brings back something she naturally can't remember. She presumably also "brings back" all the things we just watched. Obviously though the Silence got erased, they can't know that they failed when they get restored. So what's keeping them from a repeating cycle of trying to blow up the TARDIS? Well, nothing. Except the Doctor at the end of series 5 made something very clear: | |||
::Rory: You just saved the whole of space and time? Take the evening off. Maybe a bit of tomorrow. | |||
::The Doctor: Space and time isn't safe yet. The Tardis exploded for a reason. Something drew the Tardis to this particular date, and blew it up. Why? And why now? | |||
::(The phone starts ringing.) | |||
::The Doctor: The Silence, whatever it is, is still out there, and I have to.... | |||
::Willful attack at a strategically selected weak point. Not an accident. | |||
::4.Kovarian isn't actually in charge of the Kovarian faction, it's probably just a term used for identification. The use of language in The Wedding Of River Song makes this perfectly clear. Those "Silents just seem a cut above in every way, they just demonstrate so much more independance than these. | |||
::8.Unfortunately I should now be excited about Series 8 and I'm really not, three years and then this? It just makes the whole arc feel banal.[[User:DCT|DCT]] [[User talk:DCT|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:58, January 3, 2014 (UTC) | |||
