Talk:Campra

Silurians
My reasoning for saying that Silurians were native to Campra was the fact that a new series Silurian's skull is clearly seen. It has the three pronged forehead and a long forked tongue. CoT    ☎  20:56, July 10, 2016 (UTC)


 * Sorry for a delay in replying. Note also that I am not the one to decide this matter. My problem with Silurians on Campra was that they are known to be native to Earth and not known to successfully settle anywhere, to the best of my knowledge. I don't think they can be native to Campra at all. This would mean a major contradiction to the established facts. Actually, it would contradict the definition of Silurians. Lizard sentient species can develop on other planets by should not be called Silurians, name based on the geological history of Earth (I know its misdated). It is, in principle, possible that some group left Earth (cf. Dinosaurs on a Spaceship) and settled on Campra, but even this would be a significant addition to the Silurian history. Personally I would be hesitant to make such a change based solely on a skull. I mean, the First Doctor fooled professional archaeologists with his skull of the Piltdown Man. And we're not even professionals (well, I'm not). But as I said, I'm not the one who decides.
 * By the way, just for the record, by the time only skull remains, it is unlikely to have a preserved tongue. I took this thing to be an Argurian creeper.
 * Also, I looked at the skull more carefully now, and it seems that the middle prong is not actually in the centre of the forehead. So I would not be surprised if it is actually four-pronged with the left two prongs obscured from view. Amorkuz ☎  06:50, July 17, 2016 (UTC)

The Sea Devils did get their own colony in The Poison Seas... But I think that's besides the point. What does logic have to do with deciding what kind of skull this is? I just made an edit that makes absolutely no sense over at Human-Dalek (check the beginning of the history section). How could a race that was seemingly created in 20th century New York be part of an alliance with the time lords in the Dark Times? Who knows. All I know is that I saw the spitting image of a Human-Dalek. I think this is similar. The only thing that matters is wether this skull looks like a Silurian skull.


 * Honestly, I wouldn't even call this a major contradiction of established facts. We've seen many examples of Silurians living on other planets.

As for the skull, if the "tongue" is an Argurian creeper then what are those red leaves that are covering the city? It seems to me that the tongue was put there so the skull could be more easily identified. But, if you see four prongs where I see three, I'm not sure how this can go any farther. Hacked isn't really the most important of stories. I'm sure we can just leave this page frozen in time for some future editor to run into. When that happens I'm sure they'll say something if they agree with me or just continue on their merry way if they agree with you. CoT    ☎  13:21, July 17, 2016 (UTC)
