Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars
 

We all know the title of the next special. It was announced at the end of the last episode.

It's such a shame that we have to wait until autumn to find out what happens.
But that doesn't stop us talking about it.
OK, it sounds like it's taking place on Mars, hence the title. Which makes the Ice Warriors the most likely villain.




First encountered by the second Doctor in 1967. They made good protagonists in many adventures. The name of their race has never been revealed, everyone always referred to them as Ice Warriors because they function at their best in the icy temperatures of Mars. Heat actually kills them and that's mostly how the doctor defeats them again and again; turning up the thermostat.

They wear heavy armour, are stronger than humans by many times and I don't believe that their faces have been seen. But don't quote me on that.

Even if they aren't the villains of the episode, if it's taking place on Mars then they have to at least be mentioned since it's their home world.

ooo exciting stuff!
It's naff we have to wait so long :(

:-(

Did anyone else think 'The Ring' when they watched that trailer? :p

"Dr Who faces his toughest battle yet. A fight to save the world from a creepy ass little girl called Samara."

^That would be cool.

But only if it's Sadako, from the original Japanese version. The US remake SUCKED!!!

I watched my first EVER Dr. Who on Saturday at the insistence of my boyfriend. I thought it was lame, but in an awesome way :D

So I shall be watching all this water mars stuff :) And its not being aired until Autumn you say?

^ :O lame?! how dare you? :P:P

It is lame :P
The only ones I enjoyed were Blink & the other gas mask scary one which made me actually really really scared and now I hate gas masks (Y)

but lame in an awesome way!! Let's not forget the 'awesome' bit!!

No, we're not calling the show lame. we're calling you lame for living so long without seeing an episode.
You're a freak

We'll the guy that wrote those shows will be taking over now, so expect a lot more episodes like that in future.

This year, instead of a series, they filmed 4 specials. an easter, an autumn and a two-parter regeneration special around christmas.

Oh, awesome.
Then I might actually start watching it again.
But the gasmasksarewaaytooscary ):

I found Blink to be more disturbing.

Better late than never! It all comes from having a nerd for a boyfriend. I am into all sorts of lame-awesome stuff now :jumpin:

Hmmm well, I'll wait til Autumn then *sigh*

Oh Gosh, I was up til 4am watching EcclestoneWho last night

When Rose and the Doctor go back in time to see Pete...cried my eyes out from about 15 minutes in til the end- and I've seen it before!

i thought of the ice warriors, it would be awesome if they are used or even referenced, but i doubt it. they couldn't even decide if they were good guys or bad guys in the 70s.

it looks good though. although i'm gonna have to have a full on who-fest as the easter one did not satisfy and its gonna be so long before this one is aired.

Well I think the ice warriors were deliberately ambiguous like that because they weren't good or evil really; they were out for themselves, taking advantage of anything that would aid them in the long run. sometimes that meant doing questionable things.
in all, they were kind of the most human of the aliens out there.

true.

i'd still be surprised if the ice warriors were the next classic monster to be revived. i'd have thought the sea devils or silurians would be above them.
