  • The natives of Mars are a cold bunch.
    That's a joke.
    They're not really.
    But they are likely to try to terraform Earth if you can't convince them otherwise.
    There's a lot to this reptilian race and they have an expansive history with the Red Planet dating back millennia and not always deserving of the name Ice Warriors.
    This is the Cultural Index a series aimed at exploring various Science-Fiction species.
    For outsiders to a series to get to know the basics and maybe even hardened Sci-fi nuts might discover something new.
    Thanks for watching!
    How to VOTE on what happens next:
    Over on the Community tab there will be a voting option for one of the two species next up on the Index!

    It should be noted that the name "Ice Warriors" is a retcon - they were called that in their first serial, but first by the character of Walter, who says rather pithily "proper ice warrior, isn't he", and then by everybody else who simply adopts his name for them. The Doctor and Jamie then continue to use this name, which spreads to Zoe, and some of the characters in The Seeds of Death. Then, in The Monster of Peladon, Alpha Centauri has the line "Your friend, the Doctor, calls them Ice Warriors."
    The first time an Ice Warrior uses the term is in The Monster of Peladon, after Azaxyr kills the chancellor. "You can see for yourself the results of defying the Ice Warriors." Still, in this instance he may just be using that term because it's what they would recognise.
    Then, in an aside between two Ice Warriors in the court room in part six (albeit in the presence of humans), Azaxyr and Sskel, Azaxyr says "I shall send more Ice Warriors."
    In Cold War (2013), they are referred to by The Doctor as "Martian reptile know as the Ice Warrior." It isn't until Empress of Mars that an Ice Warrior, Iraxxa, refers to itself with such a term without having overheard it from somebody else.

    Doctor: Yes
    Amy: Are you seriously telling me with a straight face that there are green men from Mars!
    Doctor: I know, its ironic! But they're not little green men, that would be silly, they're nice and big.

    Interesting video, I'm a fan of Doctor Who too.
    Works on USS Georgia proceed slowly but steadly, which is ironic considering that she's a "speed demon". I'm doing this in my free time, so it's going to take a while. The design stage has beed completed and I'm now drawing the sketches. She has a standard layout similar to the Sovereign class (i mean saucer, hull and nacelles placement), and she takes some elements of detail or layout form the following classes of ships: Refit Constitution, Excelsior, Sovereign, Polaris, Odyssey and Renown; she's not a kitbash, but you can see the connections, which actually make her more "canon". Shout out to everyone that designed those ships, love your designs.
    The Russian designer Oleg Samoilovich liked to say: "What is designing? Is it a science or art? It is both a science and an art".

    The Ice Warriors appear so infrequently that I forget just how intricate their lore is. I really hope we see some grate stories from them in the near future. I say less brass (Daleks) and silver (Cybermen) and more metallic green (Ice Warriors)! Also, I wonder if the Ice Warriors ever clashed with the Silurians.
