But... it being called Doctor Who And The Silurians is awesome.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the reply I made some moments ago.

What is truly awesome is the DVD cover, which renders the title simply as "And the Silurians"

'every episode is about something slightly different'

Moffat uses this very effectively in S9, importing it to the new series episode formula so each story* is a two-parter, but the two halves each have their own USP. (The way each story title is a mirrored pair is a great conceit to flag this up, too.)

*Sleep No More the exception, because Face the Raven is deliberately tripping the rhythm of the series to generate a trough-peak of pace into the finale.
