- 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.
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
The Ice Warriors, badass Reptilian empire.
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
I'm so glad Wikipedia, that reliable source, is providing context about this subject.
Plz do a cultural index on more star wars characters like:
- Rodians
-Bith
-Weequay
-Gand
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.
Glad TH-cam added a context box. Lots of misinformation about Ice Warriors out there.
Please can you cover Brainiac the Planet Krypton thank you for your time please keep up the amazing work and live long and prosper
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.
Plus there was their war with Earth around 2086, in the old novels.
@@chrissonofpear1384 I didn't know about that one.
Yeah, it was in the old Virgin New Adventures books, based around the 7th Doctor.
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.
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.

Can we do a cultural index on Star Trek Humans? Seems like every species has been done except our own...
Eric Fleet we already have stuff about us: history class
@@enderpup9289 Star Trek history diverged drastically from ours by the 1950's. Unless I somehow missed the Eugenics Wars taking place.
He had far too much fun with that sci fi cross over at the end didn't he.
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".
Well look to Zeon from Mobile Suit Gundam.
I wonder if we’re gonna see the ice warriors in a Christmas special.
But the thing is, we now know that Mars did have oceans, and atmosphere, and the beginning stages of life, but it was over a billion years ago :(
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
Yes! It was a tie, both are going to be made!
I thought this was a runescape video.
How about The Cybermen cultural Index next?
Did they ever interact with the Silurians?
I was about to ask that myself
They must have at some point.
@@BigDictator5335 Well I think they evolved too late. The Silurians predated them.
@@samuelazzaro time travel exists
@@BigDictator5335 Gallifreyans: "IT IS FREE REAL ESTATE!!!"
Could you talk about the autobots and decepticons please?
REPTILIANS!!
So where does the seeds of death tie into this?
Martian culture also considers failure to as an inherited trait
Who doesn't know them?
Klingons, Vulcans, Andorians, Humans, Ice Warriors...all members of the UFP
Please do Judoo next
I thought the waters of Mars exterminated all life on the planet.? It was a good episode with David Tenant.
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.
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
Cool video ;-)
The Ice Warriors are awesome enemies like the Cybermen who are my number 1 Who villains and also the Ice Warriors are my number 2 Who enemies and both Who villains are millions and billions of times better than the Daleks
I feel the need to correct you
Not iraxia it's iraxxa
Do Cybermen.🤣🤣🤣
The Ice Warriors effectively show our fate as a species unless things change dramatically, very soon.
i would love to see a cultural index for he Taelons from Earth final conflict.
Finally
Ice to see you again, Ric!
good day
👍
Have we had an index on the Silurians?
No we haven’t and I suggested that he does a cultural index on them and the other Doctor Who reptiles the Sea Devils
How about a cultural index article on the Dominion from Star Trek Deep Space Nine?
There is no "E" in B.C.
To put it in Marvel Comics terms: what if Curt Connors AKA The Lizard became Iron Man?
In other words: "what if Darth Vader was a Silurian?"
i should give you a thumbs down for the pun made at the end
There is no "r" in Caste
First
BCE is just a dating system for the easily offended :/
Plus, the uncertainty over when Jesus was born...
@@chrissonofpear1384 Which is irrelevant, the dating system isn't going to be changed for people who hate Christians
If the offended don't want to use our calendar then they can use their own and start over, don't keep using our 2019 and change AD and BC like its clever.
Well, it's just an alternate address for it, and not really motivated personally, from what I could tell.
@@chrissonofpear1384 Its actually being enforced in college, you get a bad score if you don't comply.
So there, Christian hate
If its just an alternate option, then why isn't it being treated like an option?
Okay, my apologies. I had not heard it presented that way, in UK.
BOOO I want Star Trek not "WHO"!!! Turning off, and I'll be back next week.
