Talk:The Waters of Mars (TV story)

Sharon Duncan-Brewster
Okay, we all know she has an unknown roll, right? Well, on IMDB, she is listed as the rani! 11:27, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the IMDB is almost as user-generated as a wiki. And, like a wiki, mistakes happen. I have a friend who worked for Pixar that struggled for years to get an erroneous credit changed (they said she was a costume designer on a film that was made when she was eleven).

Anagrams and speculation.
Okay, we know RTD likes anagrams. But I'm removing the note that "This title is an Anagram of "Wars of the Master". Because a quick run through the Internet Anagram Server shows that so is "worse aftermaths", "earthworm feast", "Mere shorts? Fatwa!", "Ow - asthma ferrets", "swarms of theater" and "a hamster two-fer". - Monkey with a Gun 09:09, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The Master of Wars


 * Personally, I'm leaning toward "Ow - Asthma Ferrets" or "A Hampster Two-fer". The Doctor versus an army of martian rodents... now that's terrifying. --Raukodraug 15:59, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * ENOUGH about the Master (and the Ood for that matter! Come on, I don't mean to be rude to the fans, but it's pretty obvious that the four drum beat relates to the Master, and it has already been stated by David Tennant that the reference isn't what fans are expecting! Besides, we have no idea if the Ood will be featured, or if there is any corilation between aliens featured in the past and the upcoming's special. Thanks for your time


 * Calm down. And sign your comments, even if all you have is an IP address.--TheOmnius 02:01, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The speculation about the Ood being involved in the specials is mentioned in |this article over at Io9 (Speculation/spoilers) .--Raukodraug 15:02, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, but that isn't a reason to add the Master over all this


 * DWM 408 has 2 anagrams of this story, Wars of The Master and Hamster Software - Dalek036


 * The Ood coming back has been confirmed in the trailer for 

Protection
Would some sort of protection of this page be relevant, against unregister users, because I removed "The Doctor will be wearing the blue version of his suit" or something to that affected from the "Story Notes" category Bigshowbower 12:21, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Done, I've chucked a semi-protect on it, against unregistered user edits. --Tangerineduel 15:54, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Elements
A thought has occurred to me that may not work out, but here it is.

There are four linked specials in the gap year, excluding The Next Doctor. The first one, Planet of the Dead, can be seen to take the place of either the Earth or Wind elements, due to the nature of the planet and the sandstorms and weather. Waters of Mars obviously takes the Water role.

The final two specials may turn out to follow this pattern as well - in which case I would guess that the fourth special will be Fire.

This is just a guess/thought, and probably won't turn out to be anything.


 * Wow, I can't believe I forgot to sign this. The above comment was made by me.  --TheOmnius 16:00, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

...
Who keeps putting Ood Sigma in the cast list? There's NOWHERE this has been confirmed. Bad Wolf Bad Wolf 19:38, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

That didn't make sense to me either i changed it to possibly and another person gave it it's own bullet point but why would it be Ood Sigma anywayif this is pre- release from slavery shouldn't be be with halpen and post why would he move to such a different planet. --Assassin of death 14:01, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Robot
I've been looking at the filming photos of the episode and some of the pictures are of some strange looking robot dose anyone know anything about it ?

rumours
Do not look here unless you enjoy spoilers/images which bring much puzzlement about future DW episodes. The image raises so many questions, especially the costume on the left.

Rose?
If you pause the waters of mars trailer at 23 se.conds it's the bit where a blue screen flickers you can see a blonde girl holding a baby she looks alot like rose hair wise


 * Yeah I, and many others, have noticed that. Whoniverse93 23:02, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

rumours
on the trailer the Doctor is wearing a Sanctuary Base Spacesuit. So they must be on a Sanctuary a Sanctuary Base

Errors
Under "Unconfirmed Rumors" there is a few spelling mistakes. Can someone please fix it? 80.44.254.153 18:01, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * you could fix them if you wanted (unless someone has made the article semi-protected). anyway, unconfirmed rumours don't belong in articles. they belong on the Howling forum.--66.92.88.147 18:52, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * how can rumours be confirmed? then they're called facts.

The Ice Warriors Rumour
I've removed the rumour regarding them as the explaination was "Fans of classic Who will surely be hoping for a shock appearance by the Ice Warriors who hail from Mars." not much confirmation Bigshowbower 07:19, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

i hope it will feature a reference to the Ice Warriors at least, seeing as though it is their home planet after all =D Sclera1 08:49, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Transmission Date
Now that we definitely know that WoM will NOT be transmitted on 31 October, please can we scotch the rumour that it will be? Ic451 08:42, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

How do we know its not? Remind me please thanks. Michael Downey 11:09, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
