|thoughts = I wondered how they'd keep the Master contained given his mind control powers, and as it turns out... they really didn't. He just faked it and took over a whole damn facility, with the Doctor so far none the wiser. I enjoyed seeing him watch some... clankers? Stop-motion 1970s BBC stuff.

So the "sea devils" name just came from one scared mumbling guy also saying things like "Monsters!" That's... a pretty poor source for a name we're still using 50 years later. The doctor says they're like the Silurians, but evolved to live underwater. So did the Silurians and "sea devils" cover the surface and underwater during the same period? These sea devils seem fine above water for at least short periods, though, which seems like a pretty big evolutionary advantage over Silurians which probably don't do as well underwater.}} | |||
