Pretty cool revel and enemy as well Jonathan_ View profile Like Liked 0 27 March 2025 · 37 words Review by Azurillkirby Liz Shaw didn't get a lot of characterization in Silurians, so it's very nice to see her get more time to shine here. I love how this story describes Liz's admiration of the Doctor, in particular. B.
