Can someone help me understand exactly what the point of the Master's plan was? I thought initially he was going to Freaky Friday himself into 13's body but then he actually forced her to regenerate into himself, physical appearance and all. If all he wanted to do was go round looking like himself but pretending to be the doctor and looking into cameras saying "I'm the Doctor and I'm a Bad Dude" why did he need the forced regeneration?

It feels like Chibnall came up with a whole load of ideas that might have been interesting if developed but then didn't have the time, skill or inclination to do that and just chucked them together half-baked. The Master as Rasputin? Sounds awesome. A traitor Dalek recognising that they were no longer true to the Kaled race would be a good hook for an episode. An exploration of the lives of companions post-TARDIS crew could be great. But because everything was rushed and not connected in any satisfying way, none of it landed. At least the episode had a kind of fun energy to it, unlike most of 13's run where the episodes were mostly just plain boring. The fan service was great and it was nice to see 5,6,7 and 8 getting some acknowledgment. The idea of the past Doctors being a bickering gestalt consciousness was a neat touch. Overall, the Chibnall/13 era sucked and won't be missed, but it could have ended on a worse note I suppose.

Infinitum posted:Jo Martin is good and I hope she sticks around and they handwave Timeless Child nonsense away with "Actually I'm just a parrallel universe Doctor, our minds must be alike. Timeless Child? Have you been listening to the nonsense your universes Master has been feeding you?" It would be absolutely hilarious if they had her appear from time to time without acknowledging the timeless child bullshit.
