The Silence and The Weeping Angels are somewhat similar but either way I think they are both awesome. Well the Weeping Angels were awesome in Blink but after that they were lame.

I'm a bit confused why the silence just disappeared after the season premier. I mean, they can't all be dead.

Because maybe at some point they got tired of being killed on sight and went into hiding, and when people cant really remember you, that would make it kinda easy to never be heard from again.

Note: the following contains spoilers for Episode 12 of Series 5 and Episodes 1 and 2 of Series 6.

I don't think the Silence are done for. It's clear that at least one still exists and looks at Amy at the beginning of Episode 1 (immediately before the Doctor is shot), which occurs in modern times. Also, in Series 5 Episode 12 ("The Pandorica Opens") a strange voice to whom no actor has yet been attributed says "Silence will fall", cauing the TARDIS to explode. While the Silence have "fallen" from their previous status as humanity's puppet-masters, I'm under the impression that Moffat's not finished with their signifigance in the season or its plot-arc.

Well, we saw the angels again, so I kind of expect to see the silence again...

S6E1 was set in two time periods. At the beginning, there's modern day, where the Doctor, River, Amy, and Rory meet. Then, there's 1969, where they all go.

I think that was a joke to the fact that Season 6 of the original series was filmed in 1969

The BBC website has brief synopses of Series 6 Part 2, alongside a reasonably interesting long trailer.
They also released a teaser trailer of a skeleton (presumably the Doctor's) holding a dying sonic screwdriver.
You know, from the BBC's S6P2 trailer, I now have a fledgling theory that Madame Kovarian is somehow River Song. Even knowing how River dies (or rather, lives), there's any number of plot devices Moffat could pull to achieve this, although I doubt it'll be the eventual case.

Is there a first air date?  I know it's fall, but didn't know when...

They do look awfully familiar...

There seems to be no exact date, but I do recall hearing that it was returning in August. I don't remember whether the source was credible, though.

If River can regenerate, then there is no reason she couldn't grow up to be Kovarian and evil first, and then regret her life and become the nicer River Song later.

However, [spoiler]the British trailer actually has River in that outfit. Though it could be a Moffat double bluff, that would be a huge spoiler. I can't imagine he'd let that one through unless it's true and revealed almost instantly in episode 8.[/spoiler]
