    • Goofs
      Even after the Doctor identifies the blaster as "Silurian", she describes it as an "alien gun". The Silurians aren't aliens, but native lizards of Earth. In the past, the Doctor has referred to them as Earth's original owners.
    • Quotes

      The Doctor: I gave you your chance.

      Queen Skithra: A chance to be like you?

      The Doctor: A chance to evolve. But you were too stupid to take it. When you die, there'll be nothing left behind. Just a trail of blood and other people's brilliance. No-one will even know you existed.
