Line 74:
** The Silurians have elements of Category 2, with the Doctor castigating UNIT for being trigger-happy. But the Silurians themselves are conflicted, with some of them wanting peace and others releasing a plague on London.
** The [[Big Finish]] audio drama "Blood of the Daleks" features a beleaguered human colony being contacted by "benevolent aliens". The clue's in the title. (And at the end {{spoiler|they make the same mistake with the Cybermen}}.)
** ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S2S28/E12 Army of Ghosts|Army of Ghosts]]'' demonstrates a variation whereby the visitors are not aliens but {{spoiler|[[Killer Robot]]s called Cybermen}} from a [[Parallel Universe]], being deliberately brought to ours by the Torchwood institute. (In the first act of the episode, the {{spoiler|Cybermen}} take on a "ghostly" appearance and do not speak). During the period where the visitors are assumed to be friendly, humans call them "[[Our Ghosts Are Different|ghosts]]", and many even think they really are the silent spirits of their deceased loved ones. The Doctor says "No one's running, screaming, freaking out", to which Jackie responds "Why should we?" Correct answer, for the [[Genre Savvy]]: ''Because you aren't, which means they're probably dangerous''.
*** There was a great line at the end of that episode.
