Could not agree more.  it's been fake-out after fake-out with 11. his death was a fixed point in time! except it wasn't. the fall of the 11th at trenzalore! when he turned off the antigravs.

@avclub-37fbc3a475dad8f4729a4825ab147fde:disqus  I guess I'm gonna have to be the bad guy who descends into pedantry, because your post is so tantalizingly written that I can't believe it's not some sort of elaborate test, and I'm pretty sure I can pass it.

1) "Silence will fall" or "Silents will fall"?
2) I don't think they get a happy ending.  They had their chance and kept turning it down.
