ICE WARRIORS: Cultural Index

[@himynameisben95]

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.

i think they were called saurians as there revolt agasint there creators was called the "saurian revolt"

This is what a love about the Whonivers and I wish they focused on the neat little details more

[@doom7ish]

The Ice Warriors, badass Reptilian empire.

[@EcclesiastesLiker-py5ts]

I'm so glad Wikipedia, that reliable source, is providing context about this subject.

[@shmee123ful]

Alpha centray is a good boi and I geeked out so hard at seeing him, in series nine I loved that whole episode one of the best of 12s run. I always liked the ice warriors and would like to see more

[@illumi9044]

Plz do a cultural index on more star wars characters like: - Rodians -Bith -Weequay -Gand

[@DemetriusSorvo]

Glad KZbin added a context box. Lots of misinformation about Ice Warriors out there.

[@jorgnocke991]

Please can you cover Brainiac the Planet Krypton thank you for your time please keep up the amazing work and live long and prosper

[@KingofPotatoPeople]

I thought Ssard the Ice Warrior that travelled with the Eighth Doctor in the sadly curtailed Radio Times Doctor Who comic strips was a great concept.

Amy: Martian? Doctor: Yes Amy: They're Martians? 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. Quote from the Silent Stars Go By by Dan Abnett

[@ericfleet9602]

Can we do a cultural index on Star Trek Humans? Seems like every species has been done except our own...

[@enderpup9289]

Eric Fleet we already have stuff about us: history class

[@LordBenjaminSalt]

@@enderpup9289 Star Trek history diverged drastically from ours by the 1950's. Unless I somehow missed the Eugenics Wars taking place.

[@ozsdcontentcreator1068]

I’m surprised that you haven’t done a cultural index on the other two Doctor Who reptilian species that being the Silurians and the Sea Devils

[@42ndLife]

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.

[@chrissonofpear1384]

Plus there was their war with Earth around 2086, in the old novels.

[@42ndLife]

@@chrissonofpear1384 I didn't know about that one.

[@chrissonofpear1384]

Yeah, it was in the old Virgin New Adventures books, based around the 7th Doctor.

[@2Potates]

Those are the lizard people right? I'd say maybe they got along quite well due to physiological similarities and don't like the fact that humans ended up taking over earth.

[@maximvandepoll3008]

Yes! It was a tie, both are going to be made!

He had far too much fun with that sci fi cross over at the end didn't he.

[@ROBERTO-in2iq]

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".

[@stephenhounsell7257]

I wonder if we’re gonna see the ice warriors in a Christmas special.

Well look to Zeon from Mobile Suit Gundam.

Did they ever interact with the Silurians?

I was about to ask that myself

[@BigDictator5335]

They must have at some point.

YES!!!! I won! ... Yes i know it was a tie but you know what they say. Push someone to their knees and you can stab them in the neck, get pushed down yourself and you can stab them in the gut, meet eye to eye and you can stab them in the back

[@shotsfiredgaming6924]

I thought the waters of Mars exterminated all life on the planet.? It was a good episode with David Tenant.

[@chrissonofpear1384]

Unclear. Maybe at some earlier date, or subterranean? It would seem to maybe clash with the old Earth-Mars war of the 2080s mentioned in old novels.

[@Schming]

The Ice Warriors effectively show our fate as a species unless things change dramatically, very soon.

[@pacifistattack]

i would love to see a cultural index for he Taelons from Earth final conflict.
