Howling:The Silurian Ark

The Silurian Ark is among my favourite of Doctor Who's spaceships.A space-ark with dinosaurs on board.... made by the Silurians. Nice looking too. I'm glad the Doctor and co. saved it and took it to a planet for the dinos to roam free. 83.223.121.252talk to me 18:09, December 6, 2012 (UTC)

Ummm, do you have anything to ask about? Because general appreciation for an aspect of an episode is not really what this forum is for. Imamadmad ☎  22:22, December 6, 2012 (UTC)

I'll ask it for him/her then, no point in getting a thread wasted since someone would open another one in the future anyway:

1. Space-faring Silurians...really? A small population escaped earth and the rest decided to just hibernate within a planet being crashed by a giant space object.

2. Ship's signature thingy...so any targeting missile from any enemy can be easily negated by throwing the signature signal thingy out the ship or launch it into space....

3. Bloodline operation thingy...it's like nothing we've seen from the Silurians; not only is the technology odd and seems unrelated to the Silurian technology we have seen, it's also kind of stupid considering that it's an ark, essentially a survival escape ship; you pretty much expect some of the people on the ship to die when its venturing into unknown space, programming a ship to return to a supposingly devastated planet when there are no relatives would certainly mean doom. If the passengers on the ship were all relatives, then there wasn't even a breeding population of Silurians, it would have been more like a suicide ship.

4. Homo...this bothered me since Moffat brought back Silurians; we know the name is a translation but how could the Tardis possibly translate some reptilian creature as something under the genus Homo--222.167.191.105talk to me 18:39, December 8, 2012 (UTC)
