(First watched 2024-06-12) The only serial to slap Doctor Who in the title like it's a novelization, I think? His new non-stolen car is more of a jalopy, but a good fit for him. Unless it rains, I guess. | (First watched 2024-06-12, -14, -16, -18, -26, ) The only serial to slap Doctor Who in the title like it's a novelization, I think?

I'm with the Brigadier on this one, a scared man going nuts and drawing on the wall doesn't imply much... certainly not that he's reverted to a caveman state making cave drawings. Those caves down there must be pretty huge, though, to have room for what seemed like a pretty big dinosaur. | I'm with the Brigadier on this one, a scared man going nuts and drawing on the wall doesn't imply much... certainly not that he's reverted to a caveman state making cave drawings.

Through episode 5: if this serial were part of most other shows I'd probably describe it as "very Star Trek", but the aspects I mean are very The Doctor, too. We have humanity and Silurians, both distrustful of each other and with scared people who'd rather see the other side wiped out, and the Doctor in the middle trying to forge a peace. | |||
I already knew the gist of Silurians from Eleven-era episodes, but it is a very interesting one. A previously dominant species goes into hibernation, and takes so long to come out of it that a new intelligent species has evolved and taken over the planet. I don't think this jives with modern theory, but here they seem to explicitly connect the Silurians' hibernation as a reaction to the Moon appearing, which they did not expect to become a moon but to remove the planet's atmosphere and make it unlivable for a long period. | |||
