Also I would if in regards to Ape saying they steal your voice, that it was a silent in Midnight?

Nah, unlikely. Moffat has created the creature from scratch and they keep emphasising it is new. :tongue:

But there's something in the recording and lack of a mouth. We had the Weeping Angels who moved when you closed your eyes, now we have Silents which are supposed to be worse. So maybe they have some sort of perception filter as well as being able to be disguised, like their ship in the Lodger. Maybe they have the power to strike you dumb.

Speculation. :moon:

Very creepy. :afraid:

I'm guessing (well it obviously is) that the thing in the suit with the face is the silent but it's quite strange. It looks like a mask, almost like a scream type mask or the mask from The Mask but way more creepy.

I think that the trailer looks like that Moffat is just reusing his old scripts again, but this time with the added bonus of a kid with a really bad american accent. The tape thing, the creepy child, I think it even had the same phone sound as the Empty Child. He did this for the comic relief thing too, basically the same thing as Time Crash except a slightly different setting, also reusing weeping angels. Really starting to dislike this about him.

They're really loving the reflection thing.

Anyone else think there's something in it?

I think it's supposed to imply there's nothing in the suit?

Seems odd that it's supposed to be a reflection but the words on the TARDIS are the right/wrong way round.

What's this?!

Could he be re-visiting a previous iteration's regeneration?

Reply 7172

Yeah, that part I'm confused with. Old console room, but only Rory and Amy appear to be there. There's something in the explosion, for sure.

Awesome trailer, thanks for posting btw. :h:

Other things I've picked up with the help of Digital Spy.

River + Silents + Lodger Tardis?

Doctor screaming no as Amy fires... (could she be shooting him?)

She's not shooting The Doctor. She's standing behind him and he looks at her, while she's pointing the gun away from him.

It looks like a reflection/time bubble (?), look closely at the action within the explosion and Rory's head movement. Perfect synchronisation.

Ah, this is true. Explosions tend to not be reflective XD Makes you wonder what it is.

I was speaking to my housemate about it - perhaps the TARDIS never actually gets rid of old console rooms, and merely moves the entrance to the TARDIS somewhere else. So the old, destroyed console room is left behind somewhere else in the TARDIS.
