Doctor's Wife - Disturbing Realization - Spoilers : comments ["You look Time Lord."]

No, but you're kind of missing my point, which is that the Doctor is again telling others to kill. And it is a first option not a last. When she ate the Master, it was a tad accidental, since he fell into the Eye of Harmony. And it was after the Doctor had given the Master a chance.

The killing for killing's sake in this new series bothers me.

I see. I am one of those people who don't think he ordered the complete genocide of the Silence, since they have spaceships. It's a big galaxy and they can leave.

"It's a big galaxy and they can leave."

This. It's implied in the previous season that the Silents are on several planets, harassing several different species at different points in time.

I doubt they were all killed, or even most of them. They have the option of pulling up stakes and going off to find greener pastures, and probably did so.

Can you cite your references, please? I admit that since I have not been impressed with Moff's era that I haven't watched most of the episodes more than twice. So, if it was there, I just want to know.

Just off the top of my head:

We know the Silence killed Rosanna's people. We have a strong hint that they're behind the Alliance which imprisons the Doctor. River and the Doctor identify the technology in the suit as belonging to dozens of species. And that their underground TARDISes stretch across the entire planet.

Shooting twelve of them hardly seems like genocide when they clearly have an intergalactic empire.

As with so many things during Moff's time: We don't know that. It was never shown, never told to us. What we had was all the humans aiming guns at them and River going "GI Jane" all over them. Which leads me to believe that they are all being killed "You should kill us all on sight".
