With the K-9 TV series that has lately been released, it is established Mark I is the one who dies in the start meaning the K-9 that appears in the rest is an alternative Mark II. I have some suggestions. One is that Mark II is a disambiguation to K-9 Mark II (Doctor Who) and K-9 Mark II (K9) and another is that the Mark II from K9 is named '2050 K-9'. Just my ideas, but I think the new K-9 model, no matter how non-canon it could be considered, needs a page. Bigredrabbit 09:50, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
- I haven't seen the episode, but it seems to me that the new K-9 is still K-9 Mark I. K-9 Mark II was made from scratch and is therefore a separate model. This new K-9 is just K-9 Mark I, having been modified. Still probably justifies a new page, but the name would probably be some variation on K-9 Mark I, instead of K-9 Mark II.
