A Confused Fan: But what did the series 6 Silents actually want? Peace in the universe? If so, why kill innocents? They didn't act like people with the pure intentions of staving off another Time War. It's bad writing. Kovarian seemed to behave out of malice or revenge if anything. Again, it's bad writing not explained by the wave of a hand as was attempted in Time of the Doctor. | A Confused Fan: But what did the series 6 Silents actually want? Peace in the universe?

:Indeed. It's not so much that the Silents of the Papal Mainframe are different, it's that they're unrecognizable different. All they do is blunder round the place trying to extract confessions. They seem to have no awareness that there is any other way they could live their lives. Now since they're revealed to be genetically engineered beings, they simply wouldn't be given any attributes that were extraneous to their purpose. All that is fine but there seems to be no path by which they could become the Silents from Series 6. Which suggests that they were engineered differently for a different purpose. Which means they can't speak to the questions that, that particular brand of Silents raise. The questions of the true purpose of those Silents and why the behaved as they did remain unanswered. As do may other questions this episode was supposed to answer.[[User:DCT|DCT]] [[User talk:DCT|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:30, February 4, 2014 (UTC) | |||
