As a side-note (brain is not up to proper comments today): on the subject of in-depth discussions, and meta about Silver in particular, I highly recommend seeking out interviews with Luke Arnold, particularly the two eps of Fathoms Deep (a fan podcast) he did.
He is legit fannish, and has put even more time and energy into over-thinking and analyzing this stuff than the rest of us. Basically he's a self-identified "uber-super-blacksails-fangirl" who also happens to be in the show; it's pretty adorable.
He has some fascinating meta on his take on Silver's thought processes (without ever giving the impression that he thinks his reading is more valid than anyone else's).
Jon Steinberg's also very good for insight into the showrunners/writers' perspective.
