In true Moffatt style though, this answers a number of questions whilst leaving others really glaringly wide open.
If the Silence are a religious order rather than a species, where do the aliens who we've been referring to till now as 'the Silence' fall into the hierarchy? Are they at the top and running things? If so, how are they running things when everyone forgets who they are? Strictly through post-hypnotic suggestion? If so, do subservient races know what "Silence will fall" actually means? Is Kovarian's Holy Army an alliance organized by the Silence against the Doctor in the intervening millennia between 1969 and Demons Run?
Were the Silence effective in modifying Melody/River in some way when they captured Amy back in Day of the Moon, or was that just the beginning of their plan? If so, what did they do to her?
How did baby Melody get from Demons Run back to 1969? What did the Silence do to her there? And did she actually live from 1969 up till 2011 continuously, or did she hop ahead to the 80s somehow?
