Not only is there nothing in the episode \\\"[[Recap/StarTrekS3E22TheSavageCurtain The Savage Curtain]]\\\" to indicate that the Excalbians are based on silicon (in fact, the word silicon isn\\\'t used at any time in the episode), but a comment by Mr. Spock at the beginning of the episode says that the life forms on the planet are carbon based.

->\\\'\\\'\\\'Spock\\\'\\\'\\\': I still read a suggestion of carbon cycle life forms on the planet surface, Captain.

Note also that the example is a Administrivia/ZeroContextExample because it doesn\\\'t say anywhere that the Excalbians are silicon based.

** The Excalbians from \\\"The Savage Curtain\\\" are also heat-lovers, but they can survive at lower temperatures because they are [[SufficientlyAdvancedAliens much smarter and more powerful]] than the Tholians, or humans for that matter.
