One of the locals kills the Silurian prisoner and ruins the peace negotiation. The Doctor manages to get the Silurians to hibernate for another 1000 years. Sadly Rory is killed and his existence erased by the crack from previous episodes. Amy and the Doctor leave.
Vincent And The Doctor June 5 2010 Written by Richard Curtis and directed by Jonny Campbell.
The Doctor and Amy visit a Van Gogh exhibit at the Musée d'Orsay in 2020. They see an evil creature in the window of a church and go visit the artist. Turns out the creature is a Krafayis warrior that's been blinded and left behind by his warrior pals.
Vincent is the only one who can see the creature. He kills the beast with his easel. The Doctor takes Vincent into the future to see how much the world still loves his paintings.
The Silurians story was pretty good but but I really liked the van Gogh story a whole lot.
There was a video commentary for episode 9, a featurette on the Silurians and a video diary.
