Howling:The Silurians wake up after Earth has been abandoned.

I hate these continuity errors... in the 29th century, the Earth is ravaged by solar flares, and everyone has left the planet on ships, traveling for year sin search of new homes. But in Cold Blood, it says the Silurians awaken 1,000 years after 2020, making it 3020, when Earth was left quite a damn while ago and already in ruin and probably uninhatiable. The Silurian at the end narrates that they indeed wake up 1,000 years later, but how will they make peace with humans when there are no humans to make peace with, and how will they survive the surface?

 * Maybe they use their technological skills to make Earth habitable for themselves, or even they go back into hibernation. Perhaps the Doctor intended for this to happen, for the Silurians to have Earth in humanity's absence. The evil dude. 05:23, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * I brought up the fact that maybe he chose that time because earth would be inhabited but someone replied with the fact that if the earth is boiling then the Silurians won't be able to survive either. I was not able to come up with a good counter point for that but I didn't look back to TBB yet either to remember exactly what was said. V00D00M0NKY 06:20, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also remember that time is in flux. The events that happened there now change the future forever. Now, with Elliot, Moe and that all spreading the myths, stories and ledgends, the human future may change. Some other things may happen etc and the humans may not need to leave earth.

 * The Silurians promised the humans all kinds of advanced technology. We know that they can bio-activate the ground, create energy barriers, and all the other stuff they did in those two episodes. Maybe they can do something to protect the planet from the (presumably temporary) solar flare activity. In fact, the energy barrier technology might be enough in itself.


 * The problem is the timing. Let's say Elliot gets the whole world ready for the Silurians to come along and give us this great tech in 3020. So far, so good. Then, in 2870 or whatever, scientists discover that solar flares are going to kill us all. What are we going to do? Sit around and wait for 150 years and hope that enough people survive to rebuild civilization when the Silurians finally wake up and deus-ex-machina the problem away?


 * The only thing we could possibly do, other than what we did in The Beast Below and The Ark in Space, is to build short-term off-world habitats and float around the outer solar system for 150 years instead of going out to look for other planets. Not so bad--but if the Doctor or Amy had told Nasreen and the Silurians about the flares, it could have been a lot better.... --Falcotron 14:13, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
