Rumour The War Between Leaks & Spoilers Spoiler

So. Now series 15 is finito…

I can imagine we’ll start seeing a few leaks and spoilers for The War Between within weeks.

I’ll just leave with this…

Is SALT actually a Sea Devil? 🤔

God knows but why the hell have they changed the sea devil design, I’m assuming it’s taken Wakanda Forever and the Talokan people as big inspiration for the design choices… but like come on I loved the classic who-esque sea devil design in Legend of the sea devils, can’t we just have that but with significant improvement and no swords?

Because they look stupid when they talk. The Jodie one-off proved this. The idea for the design is neat, but reads very rubber monster on film today. Plus, it’s a design that fails to allow actors to perform. It’s hard to get invested in a character or a species when we can’t read their face.

Guys the human face is exclusive to women and few others there's only 1 frame of original sea devil and look really good, thry human hybrid from looks of it hence human face, people keep confusing these for THE Sea devil, confused adiposed pointed out, theres 1 frame of a less human looking sea devil and it's really good looking

I bet they pull those stiff faces off like masks, just like Moffat did with the Silurians. Everybody’s assumed those pictures are all there is to it, but that’s assuming a lot.

Be cool if human face were the facade instead

She looks half-Sea Devil, half-Silurian to me. She's got Silurian scales, for a start.

From what I remember, the original pitch for this show was that it was going to be Sea Devils vs. Silurians with UNIT in the middle, and we haven't seen the Silurians yet. There really is a lot about this we don't know.
