* This is the first known official story to feature female Ice Warriors, or a variation thereupon (i.e. their ancestors), Zaadur and Veltreena.

* While the exact time this story takes place in is unknown, it is hinted that it is the early 19th-20th century relative to earth's time, and the earliest known invasion of the Ice Warriors after this time on earth occurs in the late 21st Century ([[TV]]: [[The Seeds of Death (TV story)|''The Seeds of Death'']]). Yet when Jamie asks the Doctor about the Ice Warriors at the present time of their journey into Gandor, the Doctor claims that the time is still far too early for the Ice Warriors to exist. This creates a slight contradiction since in ''[[Empress of Mars (TV story)|The Empress of Mars]]'', the Ice Warriors and [[ Iraxxa|Queen Iraxa]] are claimed to have been in hibernation for nearly 5000 years and said story takes place in the 19th century.

This suggests that either there was a separate breed of Ice Warriors lurking elsewhere on Mars unbeknownst to the Gandorans and Quendril or that the history of the Ice Warriors was abruptly changed between the time of the [[Second Doctor]]'s and the [[Twelfth Doctor|Twelfth Doctor's]] encounter with them due to the non-linear, ever-changing nature of time as the doctor often explains. However, the former is certainly possible because as the Doctor and Zoe remark at the end of the story, it seems the Saurians are always destined to evolve into the Ice Warriors, whether the process is sped up by forced evolution as in this story or natural evolution is allowed to take its course over the next several centuries or eons. | ||
