== 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". - [[User:Monkey with a Gun|Monkey with a Gun]] 09:09, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

::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. --[[User:Raukodraug|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

== 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 [[User:Bigshowbower|Bigshowbower]] 12:21, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 
:Done, I've chucked a semi-protect on it, against unregistered user edits. --[[User:Tangerineduel|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.  --[[User:TheOmnius|TheOmnius]] 16:00, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Who keeps putting [[Ood Sigma]] in the cast list? There's NOWHERE this has been confirmed. [[User:Sir Hat-a-lot|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.

== 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 ?
 
==References==
 
It looks like a number of references have been deleted. The citation numbers are still there, but the links aren't. Any idea what might have happened? [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 19:38, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 
When the editor was adding informtion, I think he/she added the citation numbers [[User:Bigshowbower|Bigshowbower]] 07:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 
The fourth bullet point in story notes has a typo in it. It should say "whether" instead of "wether"
 
==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.

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

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

Uncredited cast[[edit source]]

I've moved the uncredited cast to the talk page until they can be properly sourced (not IMDB). Shambala108 03:52, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

Looks like they were archived here: http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:The_Waters_of_Mars/Archive_1 Note that it's missing the (TV Story) section in the URL. Looks like the page name was changed after the comments were archived. BrentNewland 21:45, January 1, 2014 (UTC)

Production error: robot gears[[edit source]]

When the robot is accelerated by the doctor and shooting flames (about 23 minutes in), the rear gear on the tread is turning, but none of the other ones, which are connected to the tread. BrentNewland 21:46, January 1, 2014 (UTC)
