More different reaction to tonight's Doctor Who



Oh Doctor. You always have to outdo yourself. Nevermind Ten having turned, what, seven or eight people into slightly jaded people who were willing to kill to defend their world from destruction. Eleven just turned the whole human race, for a thousand generations, into people who would kill aliens who weren't particularly hurting them as far as we can tell, without those humans having any choice in the matter or any memory of what they've done. Oh. Snap.

I mean, sure, maybe they're going to crack apart the universe. But what are the odds that they're cracking apart the universe because humans started exterminating them?

The more I think about it, the more I like your idea of the Doctor's plan being what pushes the Silence to crack the universe. Cuz yeah, the Silence are killers and show no sign of stopping--but since humans and their media spread across the universe, the Doctor just backed the Silence up against a wall. And there's nothing scarier than a cornered Silent!

Plus, I love when there are ramifications for huge sweeping choices.

(Also, I love the phrase "original-recipe!Ten"!)
