# Talk:Ice Warrior

this is quite spooky.  i was in the pub last evening making predictions about what happens in season 3 and i decided that the ice warriors could well be introduced in s3s1.  is the paper channeling from my brainwaves?  Morwen - Talk 10:53, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

And would it then be *boom! boom!* psychic paper? --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 11:38, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, especially in light of the recent press rumors, think the Warriors should get a navigation box like those of the Daleks and Cybermen? --71.139.18.66 19:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Not sure they have enough stories?  Someone suggested it for the Sontarans recently, they didn't really have enough. Morwen - Talk 12:34, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I know that a lot of the time Ice Warriors appear in armour, rather then showing skin. However I am sure that we could find a picture that features a group of Ice Warriors with a mixture of them wearing armour and perhaps without the helment to highlight their reptilian appearance. I don't want to spark a reversion war by simply changing the picture so I am going to open it to debate. Dr noire (talk • contribs) 14:54, 13 April 2007 (UTC).

Isd there any information, canon or not, about what the Ice warriors call themselves - apart from the single reference to Izixyr using the "Ice Warrior" term? Totnesmartin 11:22, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I believe that these pictures of Ice Warriors in color that I uploaded should be the ones used on this page. If anyone wish to revert this, please say it here first, and give a good reason for why the black/white images are better than the color ones.

The current ones? I don't really like them... I think that they are really... for look of a better word, it looks like someone squashed them. I personally liked that other one we had... the other colour one, with the Ice warrior in front of that ship(?)... what ever happenned to that one?
I understand your feelings, though. We should have a colour picture. I guess these ones will do for now... until someone finds a better colour picture from the actual TV series. And please, let us avoid a revert war. Let's simply discuss possible alternatives here. They current pictures will do for now, as I said earlier, but... I don't think they should become our permanent Ice Warrior picture. Temporary place-holder, I guess. Comics (talk) 07:13, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

@Pokelego999 Since you wanted my thoughts:

'At the time of the Ice Warriors' debut, the Doctor Who production team was seeking new recurring antagonists, and the Ice Warriors were brought back due to their appearance in The Ice Warriors, which was popular with audiences.' this sentence is very confusing. first half is about their debut, second is about their reappearance. split?
I would move the third paragraph to combine with the second in the lead but that's just personal preference you don't have to
In the first paragraph of spin-off media we are using "and" in the middle of listings, not at the end. '1994 novel Legacy, 1996 novels GodEngine, and Happy Endings, 1997 novel The Dying Days, and the 2011 novel The Silent Stars Go By.' odd.
in the fourth paragraph we should specify that he only appears as a companion in the spin off media, as is the first sentence seems unfitting for the section.
"as being one of the series' most "fondly remembered of Doctor Who monsters"" specifying both the series and Doctor Who is very redundant.
appearances section is much better in structure and in style. no more prose complaints from a glance
conception and development section seems largely fine
The first paragraph of the reception section still feels weirdly written to me. This is probably unhelpful as it is difficult to pinpoint what is putting me off but the "Sleight attributed..." and what is around it seem slightly off.
Overall, better PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:51, 9 August 2025 (UTC)

@PARAKANYAA To clarify on one or two things
-The "and" was there to show that both GodEngine and Happy Endings were released in 1996, but I accidentally left a comma between them. This should hopefully be clearer now.
-I feel the same vibe on the reception para now that you point it out but I'm unsure as to why myself. Maybe it's the Once Upon a Time Lord bit, which was largely disconnected from the rest of the overall paragraph's focus (On the Ice Warriors' popularity and why they were successful)? I've shifted it to another paragraph, so let me know if that fixes it. If it's something else then let me know.
I've left the lead paras separate just because I feel it'll be easier for readers to have dev and reception split up, but the rest has been changed per your comments.  Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 04:00, 9 August 2025 (UTC)
