I noticed this too, as it was happening, and thought it very odd. However, I actually have this odd feeling we didn't get the whole story behind that yet. To me, through the whole episode, it seems like the Doctor knows more than he's telling anyone - and we haven't found out everything that led up to the beginning of the episode yet. There are a WHOLE lot of unanswered questions about how Team TARDIS finally found out about the occupation and I just got the feeling in that last scene with the television that somehow the Doctor knew more/remembered more than he strictly should have. "You are way out of time," everyone somehow remembering what happened afterward, etc...

If there is more to that ending that we do not yet know, I am more than willing to eat my words when the time comes :)

I'm afraid of what we're going to get another out-of-order Doctor, a bit like last year's finale in that we're getting mind-tricked. I really, really wasn't fond of the trick last year, so I'm definitely not now. It just seems...lazy, and makes the Doctor seem somewhat cowardly that he can't just do things sit-of-the-pants. A common trademark of his.

I don't think he intended to get all the Silents KILLED, nor do I think many - if ANY - did. Remember, they have to blink out of view for a SECOND and you don't remember they were there. Getting away? Not too difficult. And he TOLD them all what he was doing. It's like saying, "hey, I just doused your in gasoline, and here's a match, and I'm gonna light it in 5... 4... 3..." They know they WILL die, it's not just a bluff. But they have the chance to leave and survive ( ... )
