Talk:The Waters of Mars (TV story)

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)

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)
