I’m not emotional, it just gets irritating to have people bang on about things that the insist are important when there’s no clear reason to think that (how many times did people bring up the absence of ducks in the pond in Prisoner Zero as some big hidden mystery that would eventually be revealed?).
typoink - I take your point that Moffat tends not to leave white space, and particularly when you’re dealing with a race that use white space as a weapon you’d be a little surprised that this wasn’t explored more. I think you’re right, that we’ll find out there’s more to it with the Silence than just those episodes. For example, what’s their connection with Melody as they were the ones raising her, it seems. As ever it’ll all become clear in the fullness of time, I think Moffat has demonstrated that he comes good on his promises in that respect.
