They have mouths for talking the eyes just flashed when they did talk, kind of like a Dalek. Still you can clearly see in their first appearance that they are eyes though, there's some POV shots that are divided in three.

Basic plot summary of Cold Blood, the second part of this story:

Oh dear God, please don't let this episode pull some shit like having the humans and Silurians make peace with one another in the end, thus contradicting Warriors of the Deep.

No, but it will still render Warriors of the Deep totally useless.
Well not really. If you showed someone a picture of a Silurian from Doctor Who and the Silurians and one from Warriors of the Deep, they're going to recognise they're the same species. Going from the pics so far, the Silurians in these new episodes really are completely different. With human eyes. Like something off Star Trek Voyager.

A story that most of the viewing audience will remember well....
As long as they're reptilian humanoids with bony crests on their heads, I don't think the differences are important.
OH NOZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! The whole of reality will implode if that happens.

Does everyone watching the new show have to have seen WotD for it to treated with the least bit of respect by the writers?
Specifically the Voth from Distant Origin. Not only are the Voth conceptually the Silurians, but the new makeup for the Silurians is *very* similar to the Voth...
Which is only fair, really...
Might as well put on a Jem'Hadar or, as David says, a Voth and call it a Silurian then.
Of course being this different is important. They're meant to be the same sodding race as we saw in classic Who.
Actually, as I understand it they're not, quite - they're going with the idea of there being being various Silurian races, same as there are different human races, or indeed different dinosaurs
Damn, if only Chibnall was a writer instead of a costume/makeup designer.
Oh, wait...
That one - well, two - I'll give you...

Well you can't really blame someone on a DW discussion forum for complaining when they take classic villains and make them look bloody awful. At least when they turned the Cybermen into idiot robot clunkers who get Jedi mind-tricked by a sonic screwdriver, they went for the bollocks sci-fi chestnut of a parallel universe. These Silurians are meant to be the same race as we've seen before.Data: " "Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing."
Come on now. It's not as if the Silurians looked good before. You don't want them to deviate from what's been established decades ago, fine, but the problem here is not that the new Silurians look "bloody awful". That would be consistent.
