Did the Silence want to stop the events of "The Name of the Doctor?"
Churchill: But what was the question? Why did it mean your death?
Doctor: Suppose there was a man who knew a secret. A terrible, dangerous secret that must never be told. How would you erase that …

What Silence fell?
As explained in "The Wedding of River Song", the phrase "silence will fall when the Question is asked" should be translated as "silence must fall when The Question is asked," and, as explained in "Let …

Why didn't River Song immediately know when she was meeting the Doctor for the first time?
While I do think that it was mainly because they didn't know Tennant would be leaving so soon, the matter is not without a number of possible reconciliations:
1) It could be that the events of "The E …

How did the Doctor join the others outside the TARDIS without opening its door?
A small-but-critical detail here is that Vastra, Jenny, Strax, and the Great Intelligence are all inside the TARDIS as well.
When Vastra wakes up, she looks around the room and the camera, seeing thi …

Why didn't the Doctor just snap his fingers? (spoilers)
Snapping his fingers opens the police box doors, which as we saw, were not the doors to the tomb because the doors to the tomb (i.e. the doors that were locked with his name) led to a staircase that h …

How does River Song know when and how she died?
No, the River seen in "The Name of the Doctor" is from after the events of "Silence in the Library." You are correct when you say that we're seeing her "saved" mind that is stored on the Library's dat …

Why didn't the Doctor and Elizabeth just try to dispose of the Zygon paintings?
Things like this come up frequently in Doctor Who. In this instance, the Doctors could not have destroyed or buried the paintings because doing so would have created a paradox. They had already seen t …

Early on in the episode, the Moment is shown to be capable of opening time fissures that lead to different points in the Doctor's history. It was the force that brought Smith's, Tennant's, and Hurt's …

Why doesn't the Doctor regenerate immediately in “The Night of the Doctor”?
He died too quickly for his body to regenerate - ergo, the Sisterhood of Karn had to first bring him back to life before giving him the elixir for regeneration.
There are a few precedents for this in …

Where was Rassilon in the Day of the Doctor and what happened to the Ultimate Sanction?
The events of "The End of Time" are canon and happen in parallel with those of "The Day of the Doctor". The General's assistant, Androgar, even references the High Council and their plan to carry out …

Where did the Doctor get the vortex manipulator?
Put simply, he picked it up off the ground after River left it there, presumably on his instruction.
There is a scene in "The Pandorica Opens", right before the Doctor gives his big speech to the ali …

Why didn’t the Doctor give Rose some regeneration energy?
Rose is a human, while River is a greatly mutated and modified one.
There is literally nothing in Rose's body that could make use of regeneration energy. Her biology is not that of a Time Lord and ha …

The Doctor doesn't "frequently change fixed points." The only occasions on which we have seen something that was explicitly denoted (either directly or indirectly) as fixed time be altered have been i …

Could Amy and Rory come back by saying that they wanted to be buried in that graveyard?
Amy and Rory are not trapped in the Winter Quay. As a result of their actions in the episode, the Winter Quay never existed and is at the heart of a paradox. They're stuck in the past and incapable of …

Why doesn't the Kovarian chapter just cancel its plan to blow up the TARDIS?
It is implied that the Kovarian Chapter is not aware that destroying the TARDIS will destroy the universe and create the cracks in time. They just see it as a means of killing him, but ironically,they …
