*bounces up and down impatiently for new series* :D

Yeah, Now I'm certainly leaning in that direction as well, but I had been hoping that River was a Silent or at least closely connected with the Silence. It was my favorite theory as to her identity because it would explain so much. Now I have *no* idea as to, as Octavian says, "who and what [she is]". I'm also still trying to figure out if "Silence will fall" is a bad or a good thing for the Silents. So much to ponder!
