So basically, we have the reverse of Curse of Fatal Death where the Doctor shacks up with the Master. Got it.

I loved Dr. Skarosa. It's such a brilliant subtle clue that it's all bullshit and they put it right in front of the Doctor and he didn't notice. I wonder if Missy will gloat about it next episode.

I assume you actually mean you love the utter bullshit backstory Skarosa gives the doctor about white noise, because lmao at how great that is at being obvious bullshit that the doctor couldn't POSSIBLY have seen through as being SPECIFICALLY bullshit designed to set off his bullshit detector because The Master wanted to yank on his dick for a minute Edit: Oh, the inclusion of "Skaro" in his name? Honestly I find that less obvious than the above. Glenn_Beckett fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Nov 2, 2014 |

Also, frankly, I'd prefer the master not have to mask sexual subtext in heteronormativity, but oh well, Moffat I guess. V yup.

In retrospect I can exactly see the thought process that led to this. When Matt Smith was leaving there was a lot of fan talk about the next Doctor being black or a woman. Moffat clearly thought "Well no, obviously not, but... the Master is also a Time Lord, maybe he could regenerate as a woman... and then we could take that sexual subtext between him and the Doctor and make it explicit! And it wouldn't be all icky and gay!"

Basically when Moffat wrote Fatal Death he thought (for obvious reasons) that it was going to be the only chance he'd ever get to write Doctor Who on TV, so he threw in everything he could think of. And he's been mining / building on those ideas ever since.

Man the absurdity of the premise was great, considering it's the Master. Dr. Chang: He believed that the white noise were... voices from the dead! Doctor: (confused) Why? Was he... an idiot?

You guys are loving lunatics, you do know that right? There's enough things to be annoyed with him and take him to task over than to start making up hypotheticals which you can never hope to know the answer to. I hope the next episode is so bad it literally gives Piror Marcus an aneurysm. It'd be Moffat's crowning achievement.

Well, I liked the thematic ties to the spiritual chicanery practiced by Victorian charlatans. And the Doctor had some funny lines. Everything else was dogshit.

So has the scene from the clip that almost 100% had her mouthing 'Rani for short' been aired? Because now I'm curious what she actually said that looked so similar.

I think that was the scene where she said "Missy. Short for Mistress. Well I couldn't keep calling myself The Master, now could I?" E: It very well could have been a different take with slightly different wording. Or she said "Rani, for short" and then it "leaked" on the internet to troll people.

Jsor posted:I think that was the scene where she said Yeah, I believe the director said they deliberately made fake shots/scripts during filming to try to throw people off. Looks like it worked. I could see them easily doing 4 quick takes of that scene, each one replacing the line with "Rani, The Master, Romana, etc."

Early reviews are glowing for Death in Heaven. Also confirming there's no time-fuckery or "it was all a dream" resolution. And we find out who Seb is, which is apparently mind blowing. I'm guessing he's also the Master.

I wonder if Missy is a direct regeneration of the MacQueen Master. Considering Simmons and Jacob's Master didnt have a TARDIS and the Doctor and Master have met out of order before, it could work.

The Master could just rush off to the finish line, but instead at every step of the way he'll set up an elaberate scam for the doctor. Ahaha you thought this planet was messed up because they were left over ood living with reject sontarens, but actually it's me the Master setting up a trap whilst disguised as an ancient greek talking statue.
