Okay, we all know she has an unknown roll, right?
Well, on IMDB, she is listed as the rani!

: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). (PS - please sign your posts.) [[User:Monkey with a Gun|Monkey with a Gun]] 17:58, September 18, 2009 (UTC)


== Anagrams and speculation. ==
{{ArchCat}}


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)
== Deleted Talk Comments ==


:::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
Why does the Talk tab say there are 138 comments in the Talk section for this episode but the only one that appears is above this one? Why were the other comments deleted? If you wanted to remove them, they should be archived, not erased.

== 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)
 
 
That is a really good point! I think Planet of the Dead has got to be Earth. After The Waters of Mars there's The End of Time, the Tenth Doctor's last episode. Fire, burning? Sounds like a finale to me!
The Next Doctor might have been Wind, because of Jackson Lake's TARDIS using wind to move around in the air and stuff. Also, the snow being whipped up and thrown around in gusts of wind.
Just an idea.

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.

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"
 
Ok, don't just point out minor typos; fix them.[[User:Papayaking|Papayaking]] 02:42, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
 
==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.

* Someone has placed a broadcast date without references or nothing so will delete. [[User:Michael Downey|Michael Downey]] 19:40, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
 
* Someone has stated the WoM will be transmitted on the 20th Novemeber. This is both highly unlikely and unconfirmed. BBC1 will be broadcasting Children in Need on 20/11/09 for the majority of the evening. Therefore there is unlikely to be  a suitible time slot available for WoM on that date.

Waters of Mars will be aired on November 15th 2009 (Sunday)

* Never use YouTube as citation, however, because those links are, at best, temporary. I have replaced it with the Doctor Who News Page report, and even that should be replaced with a non-tabloid news source at first opportunity. Presumably the BBC will make an official announcement soon and we can use that for the source. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 13:10, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
