So, I was talking to the wife and came up with the idea that, perhaps, the Silence--though creepy as hell--aren't evil. Are they enemies now? Most definitely. But, all we really know is that they want the Doctor dead because of something in his future. My guess is that they may come from a timeline where the Valeyard is actualized. The question is then whether, foiled plan to kill the Doctor or not, they were able to significantly alter things to where the Doctor doesn't become The Valeyard (which, I think, Timelord Victorious was hurtling toward) or simply delay the inevitability of fate as it were?
Good theory!! I hadn't really thought of it that way. But, be sure to take into account The Silence have been on Earth "since the wheel and the fire". So, if they're something of a benevolent force, it remains to be seen as an example.
Agreed. Still having a hard time rectifying The Silence as quasi-benevolent force with "You should kill us all on sight."
Still, Dream Lord has had me thinking of that darker aspect of the Doctor (parasite or not) since last season.
Moffat has done a great job of rehabilitating classic enemies (no more hybrid Daleks, Cybermen that may or not be of Cybus background) while creating new enemies (Weeping Angels...I repeat, Weeping fucking Angels). Perhaps, he is laying the groundwork for a return of another classic villain.
As a continuation while also a diversion, I think it is clear that Moffat isn't going to be the one to bring back the Master or Davros. Davies completely fucked those guys, IMO. Maybe, one or both of them will come back during a future incarnation but, my money is on Moffat not even trying to clear up all of that stupid.
Got me thinking, when did the doctor tell River his name (the one referenced in Forests of the Dead). The theory that he told her his name on the day of their marriage was not true (technically), unless the doctor's real name is "Look into my eye".
I'm guessing he gets to tell her his name on the fall of 11th thingie, when the doctor finally answers the oldest question in the universe.
Also, I bet the doctor's real name is Snidely. Snidely McTimey.
This is amazing. Over 90 different Doctor Who fans from around the world pooled their personal musical resources, passing around the "Vale Decem" piece from Tennant last episode. Each one chose a specific part of the song their instrument or talent was confined to, and played just those parts. Then, they mailed/emailed the recording on to the next person. And so on and so forth. Check this shit out:

it's the one where he matches the broken sign up to the one of the side of the TARDIS at the end. Van Gogh episode next week, but I'll be out partying. . .
Vampires? I think that's In Cold Blood (or whatever the title of that 2nd ep where the snake bitch killed Rory). the doc fished the broken sign out of the crack.
Shit!! You're absolutely right! I was mistaking it for when he and Rory pause at the end of Vampires right outside the TARDIS. Same setting, different scene/episode.

Get your priorities straight here,Grimm. You could go party and get drunk. Maybe take a girl or two home with you.You'll just end up having drunken sex with women who you may never see again Or you could stay home and watch an old episode of Doctor Who and read comic books during the commercial breaks. The choice seems obvious here.

Grimm, tell us later about the STD's you caught because you forgot to bring condoms.
Oh, you did bring condoms? Good man.

I'm surprised that Pro hasn't mentioned that it's Matt Smith's birthday.
whomod said: I generally don't like it when people decide to play by the rules against people who don't play by the rules. It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness. This is true both in politics and on the internet."
