| :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).

| 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)

| :::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

| == 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.

| 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.

| == Space Suit Rumours ==
| |
| | |
| on the trailer the Doctor is wearing a Sanctuary Base Spacesuit. So they must be on a Sanctuary a Sanctuary Base
| |
| | |
| :In fact, in a picture on the front of the 14-20th November Issue of the Radio Times, the Doctor is seen wearing a space suit with a 'SB6' logo. Presumably, this stands for [[Sanctuary Base 6]]. As we know that this base is on [[Krop Tor]], it would seem unusual that the Doctor should wear such a suit on Mars. Perhaps it is the only space suit he owns? Did he keep it after 'The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit'? [[User:Slartibarto|Slartibarto]] 19:19, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::The Doctor has always had this space suit since the first episode we saw him in it, infact he was wearing this space suit in Blue Moon in 1969, so it doesnt mean he's at a sanctuary base. He is wearing the spacesuit because how else is he going to go walking around on Mars?[[User:Saxon 3|Saxon 3]] 19:24, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :::This idea seems to make sense. The Doctor needed a space suit and thus used one he had stored in the TARDIS from a previous adventure. [[User:Slartibarto|Slartibarto]] 20:52, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

| ==IMDb information==
| |
| The Story Notes section had included some information cited as "confirmed by the IMDb". The IMDb confirms nothing and is not peer-reviewed. It cannot be used as "confirmation" regarding casting for yet-to-be broadcast productions. Therefore this is a rumour until the BBC confirms. The deleted material follows:
| |
| : ''The IMDB.com website has confirmed that the actor Timothy Dalton will be appearing as a [[Time Lord]] and the actress Sharon Duncan-Brewster is playing a character called [[Maggie Cain]].''
| |
| | |
| Normally I would have simply moved the information to the Rumours section, but as it appears that Rumours are being handled differently for this story than for others (including The End of the Time), I just deleted it instead. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 23:35, October 31, 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Good descision. Digital Spy have now confirmed that Sharon Duncan-Brewster plays Maggie Cain, but no word of Timothy Dalton playing a Time Lord -- [[User:Will101|Will101]] 23:38, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

| ==Trailer for End of Time==
| |
| I removed a pointless item from the story notes regarding a trailer for End of Time airing at the end of Waters of Mars. The fact it was unsourced is neither here nor there; they almost always run a trailer for the next story, so there's nothing notable about this fact. Now if they were going to air a trailer for Series 5 at the end of WOM (though why then and not after End of Time is beyond me), then that would be notable.

| | |
| I can't edit because its semi-protected, but I have some additions to the section that should be added soon:
| |
| | |
| *If no [[Human]] had ever heard of the [[Ice Warrior|Ice Warriors]] then how can the [[The Dying Days|invasion of London]] by the Ice Warriors in 1997 have happened? ''The novels may not be canon; also, that event may have been in flux, like how no one had heard of the Daleks in [[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]] despite the Earth being moved years before. Also, it is never explicitly stated that Humans have never heard of the Ice Warriors. When the Doctor mentions them, Adelaide simply states, "I haven't got time for stories," not saying whether she has heard of the Ice Warriors in the story. In fact, she does not seem surprised by thier existence.''
| |
| | |
| *After the explosion of the shuttle, several fires are burning all around the site. Now taking into account the initial explosion was fueled by the base's oxygen, and given that Mars has no appreciable atmosphere, how can these smaller fires burn in the vacuum?''Because Mars does have an atmosphere. It is in no way a vaccum.''
| |
| | |
| Can anyone put it in? Is this appropriate enough to add?[[User:Marc RS|Marc RS]] 21:56, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :: Gaah. I signed up especially to correct the latter glaring error. Mars' atmosphere is 95% carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen and the rest is argon, oxygen and methane; it's also pretty thin. Maybe fires like that are impossible but I'm sure the oxygen and methane will have contributed. Perhaps the author was thinking of poor lil' Mercury, which really doesn't have an atmosphere.

| *I have a suggestion for a plot hole error-
| |
| In "Father's Day" The reapers turned up due to Rose saving her father when somebody who was dead is now alive- surely this should be the case now for Yuri and Mia as they should have died but are now alive?
| |
| | |
| ::I don't think they always turn up, after all they could have not have needed to feed on them if they weren't "hungry" as it were. But we didn't see them again after they walked away from Adelaide's house. For all we know the reapers could have shown up but Yuri and Mia escaped and the reapers gave up looking for them. [[User:Marc RS|Marc RS]] 23:03, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
| |
| ::: Yeah but in Fathers Day they didnt single out Pete Tyler in the end they just ate anybody who turned up so unless the reapers went straight for Yuri and Mia (which they didnt as you could see from the news story)- the place should be roaming with them- jeez earth does get it bad.
| |
| | |
| :::: But as shown at the end of Father's Day, when they leave an area, all knowledge of them is forgotten and the other people killed are revived, so if it is true, as soon as the reapers leave they would be forgotten. [[User:Marc RS|Marc RS]] 23:52, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| *Right. So the Doctor, realising he can't go through the POURING, SCARY WATER, decides to send the robot instead. The robot goes through the POURING, SCARY WATER, gets to the TARDIS, and (somehow) manages to get it back to the Doctor. They all get in, and go back to Earth.
| |
| | |
| So they all get out. Including the robot. The Doctor then has a nice big, sanctimonious rant. He then has a brief spell of psychosis, thinks he's going to die, and eventually hops back into the TARDIS and fucks off.

| Leaving the robot on Earth.
