I shed a tear when the Master said "get out of the way" and tried his damnedest to regenerate Rassilon into Pierce Brosnan...
But not for the end of Ten, cos even though he's been the best Doc since Tom, his wimpy last words totally undercut him. And it took too fucking long - I mean, how many pairs of last legs has he got...?
And yeah, Ten's last words sounded selfish. Which is not a good way to go, no. But it shows a *lot* about Rusty putting himself into the characters. Hell, I wonder if he was on a diet when he wrote the hungry Master bits. I started thinking about the Monty Python Homicidal Barber Sketch when he went all CUT, SLICE, CUT, CUT! BLOODSPURT, ARTERY, MURDER!
Also, why in the fuck did Rassilon suddenly become alive? What the fuck? I know they were all in the Master's head, but still... AND GOD DAMN IT, RUSTY, SIMM DESERVED A BETTER SEND-OFF!
I just assumed the Timeys were pulling some really insane shit near the end of the war, they probably asked the Master how he managed to come back from the dead a couple times and nicked his ideas before he ran off. They certainly had his body and there was at least some form of consciousness hanging around in The Five Doctors.
Alternatively, the old X-Men excuse. He got better.
Yes my only complaint was the Master vanishing and the Timeys and Gallifrey getting send back 2 seconds after they came back.
Ah well, fuck plot anyway.
Yes that was my approach as well, I LOVED the episode otherwise. Especially the slashy bits, Wilf in general and Dave and John's brilliant acting skills <3
Yeah. I would've wanted the Master to go out with a bang and not just a "WTF? Where did he even go?" I would've wanted one last kiss, at least. Of the Master holding the dying Doctor in his arms, a chaste kiss on the forehead. *sigh*
This NEEDS FIC. PEOPLE, WE NEED IT. TO FIX THE ENDING!
I don't know how in the fuck Dalton can be RASSILON, for fuck's sakes.
But I'm interested in the four knocks. I wonder who will interpret it as being the Master=Time Lords, so technically it *is* the Master who knocks four times. Isn't that plausible? Yes?
Timeys got desperate in the last moments of the Time War. They were fucked enough to magic the Master back from oblivion, it's not too much of a leap to think they'd have done the same with Rassilon. Rassilon of course was a bit of a bastard to begin with, and due to [INSERT FIC HERE] went utterly batshit insane and seized power from President Romana, etc.
Rassilon was supposed to be a tyrant anyway, going by what they say in the Five Doctors. So it makes sense. It was a surprise to me, though, because I expected Dalton to be another Borusa.
