I'm intrigued to see how Big Finish bring the Silence back, given how they were so inter-weaved with Matt Smith's era.

I never would have thought of having the Silence show up. Props to Big Finish.

It's quite daring to do a box set with no monsters.

Perhaps, it's a group gone rogue or perhaps after the events of Trenzlore became 'set', Kovarian's Silence appetite for control wasn't sated. There is a lot to see 'wrong' in the galaxy, after all....

Despite their name, I think the Silence will work very well on audio. I expected them to show up on Big Finish eventually, but I never would have guessed it would be in the UNIT series. I wonder how that'll work considering the Silence are only on Earth to kill the Doctor, who won't be in this release. It looks like an interesting story for sure.

I've got to give Big Finish credit for using The Silence in a way I wasn't expecting. I assumed they'd pop up when the Eleventh Doctor Adventures got going, or perhaps in a Classic Doctors, New Monsters set (who knows how many times The Doctor might have encountered them if you open up the possibility that he can't remember it), but having them make their debut in UNIT is an inspired idea.

It also nicely builds up momentum to their inevitable apperance in The Adventures of River Song.

The Silence appear to have two phases to their history. In Day of the Moon they are Earth bound as they need to use humanity to build them a spaceship, but it is clear that someone starts to interfere with them as after centuries of them exploiting humanity towards building an Apollo rocket, they suddenly have child mel and an incomplete attempt at a TARDIS.
Later on when we see them they are very clearly part of the church of the silent, but I think this story is positioned as being more about the ones surviving the slaughter of Silents on the Earth in the sixties. If these ones have been left behind by the church then it'll be more of a terrorist type situation potentially.

It's the "no one remembers the Silents" gag that has already gotten old in less than a week.
