Just wondering - why does it say that Silurian's red thingy in the forehead is an eye? For me it's more like an augmentation of sorts, they're technologically advanced after all...The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.73.22.123 (talk).

Because they call it an eye, so it must be an eye. -<Azes13 13:27, August 8, 2012 (UTC)

Citation needed[[edit source]]

The {{fact}} present in the lead demands a source for what I assume is the co-existence of Silurians and Sea Devils. However, were I to put Warriors of the Deep, this would immediately appear to be the source for all those alternative names, when it isn't. Are we to simply put all the necessary sources in the lead? I think this would be best, but perhaps in groups so an not to disrupt the flow. I know it's not convention to source leads, but I certainly think it should be. Hopefully someone can see through all the superflous text here, as I appear to have hidden my own question.--Skittles the hog - talk 22:08, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

I think the citation is required for the fact that the Silurians are from the Silurian period, which is contradicted by most of the other sources and mentioned in the Behind the Scenes section. I'm just going to remove that bit.-<Azes13 03:49, September 15, 2012 (UTC)
Sorry if that wasn't clear. The Fact tag I added was for the "lived during the Silurian" rather than "co-existed with Sea Devils". -- Tybort (talk page) 10:21, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

Non-use of weaponry[[edit source]]

Would the armies of Silurians using weapons post-2010 contradict what this page says about them usually not being armed? Or should this be a "Wenley vs. Wales" distinction? -- Tybort (talk page) 22:57, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Weakness[[edit source]]

When Alaya is killed with a stun gun, I thought it was odd that she died from something so simple. Are the Silurians really susceptible to electricity? The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kurai the Tsukikage (talk • contribs) .

Was it an aquatic silurian or a land living one?Homo reptilia 18:56, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Land living, she's from the new episodes. She's the new one in the main picture on the Silurian page.

oh yeah now I remember her. Mabye there was a more powerful setting on the stun gun or mabye since she lived underground she had water on her and was electrocuted.Homo reptilia 22:36, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

You do know that you can kill a human with a stun gun, right? It's not that much of a stretch to assume you could kill a Silurian the same way. -<Azes13 04:08, January 1, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I know humans can also die from stun guns. However, I figured it would have been on setting that wouldn't be strong enough to kill her which led me to believe they may be more susceptible.

Naming issue section[[edit source]]

Is the "naming issue" section of this page anything other than conjecture along with describing inaccuracies in made up scientific names? If so, don't even behind the scenes sections violate T:NO RW when doing this? -- Tybort (talk page) 21:52, July 4, 2015 (UTC)

Tabbed gallery - infobox[[edit source]]

Unusually, this page has 3 images in the infobox side by side. Should these be updated so they appear within a newly-agreed upon tabbed gallery instead? — Fractal Doctor @ 13:03, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
