Sec Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I think his "over acting" in this bit is definitely understandable. It's showing the doctor going quite mad Plus these polls always favour the current one. In two years if they do one, it'll have Matt Smith at top Definately, when you see the children in need teaser for christmas special there he's back to his old quirky self! Too true polls always favour the newer ones. but i think i'll always prefer Tennant just because he was a bit better at the comic moments than eccelston was..

The Master is a Time Lord that the Doctor has known for centuries. They have been constant rivals and have had numerous encounters and fights where the Master was trying to cause problems and the Doctor was trying to stop him He recently returned in Season 3 where he stole the TARDIS and ran for Prime Minister of Britain. Once elected through hypnosis, he turned the world into a giant slave labour camp to declare war on the entire universe to bring a new Gallifrey (their home planet which the Doctor destroyed) into the stars. The Doctor stopped him until the Master's companion, Lucy Saxon, shot him and he refused to regenerate to spite the Doctor. The Doctor burned his corpse but someone came and retrieved a ring from the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tellyn Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 The Master's ghostly laugh was heard as a woman picked the ring up from the fire, so we can only assume that he trapped his life force in the ring so that he could be resurrected eventually.

Serebii Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 You mean the Daleks destroyed Gaillifey. I was under the impression that the Doctor did it. He knew it was the only way to stop the Time War and defeat the Daleks so he did it. The Master even referenced that in The Sound of Drums asking how it felt when the Doctor did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Yeah, I was also under the impression that the Doctor killed them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah much like his life force was trapped in an urn in the 1996 made for TV movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master even referenced that in The Sound of Drums asking how it felt when the Doctor did it Ya this is true, he mentions it quite a bit but I think we've only seen footage of the planet once as a memory but it's kinda only a matter of time before this story is delved deeper into.

Sec Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) John Simm kinda looks outta place there smiling away!!! Not slagging him off as he is one of my favourite actors! He plays it in a much more pshychotic Master, i don't want to make this comparison but much like the Joker in the sense he does what he does for fun and really to mess with The Doctor. Really liked Derek Jacobi's version of the Master too he plays both the professor and master very well, switching from the bumbling humble man to the dark time lord with ease Edited December 2, 2009 by Sec Said Jacobi was the doctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
