Having allowed for all that, though, there's still plenty that doesn't seem to make sense and the various schemes do seem severely overelaborate. As Icecreamdif says, if all they needed was for someone to shoot the Doctor, they could have found plenty of willing hitmen who'd have done it for a little money -- and probably several who'd have done it for free. I, too, hope SM has a trick up his sleeve that will eventually make sense of why the Silence have gone about things the way they have, rather than Keep(ing) It Simple, Stupid! --[[Special:Contributions/2.101.53.95|2.101.53.95]] 20:47, October 30, 2011 (UTC) | Having allowed for all that, though, there's still plenty that doesn't seem to make sense and the various schemes do seem severely overelaborate.

Perhaps the Doctor's fixed death was that it had to be an astronaut suit. The death could be a paradox, after all, in one of the episodes we got told that the death was only fixed because it happened at a tender point in time and a tender location. Of course, the only fixed point was in actual fact River in a space suit shooting a Teselecta. As all paradoxes must start somewhere, there probably is a reasonable explanation and I'm interested to see what speculation there is on this unknown reason.

It may have something to do with the fact that in order to make the weapon regeneration proof they needed a time lord within the suit to find a weakness or something like that. We know that something called the Judas tree can kill a time lord, and considering how important it was in LKH I think it may be relevant to the plot.

"Maybe the silence falling that comes from the question being answered is somehow even worse than the total event collapse." — Icecreamdif<br />{C}This is what I thought too, however I also considered that perhaps the Silence simply considers silence falling to be worse than the destruction of the universe, while we might consider the destruction of the universe worse, basically a case of [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlueAndOrangeMorality Blue and Orange Morality]. Basically they believe anything is better than the question being answered, remember they also kept trying to kill the Doctor in the collapsed!timeline in Wedding of River Song even though that would leave the Doctor dead but the timeline still collapsed. | "Maybe the silence falling that comes from the question being answered is somehow even worse than the total event collapse." — Icecreamdif<br />{C}This is what I thought too, however I also considered that perhaps the Silence simply considers silence falling to be worse than the destruction of the universe, while we might consider the destruction of the universe worse, basically a case of [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlueAndOrangeMorality Blue and Orange Morality].
