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)

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)

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)
