I established in Blink that the Doctor was an Attention!Whore.  But this isn't the type of attention he was after.

just like the Americans...barging in, taking over. This is by no means an insult to my American friends, just their government. I hope no one takes offense.

None taken. Our government is made of dickheads. I actually sort of wish they'd portrayed the prez as more Bush-like. That way it would have been satisfying when he blew up.

He's desperate to save him. The Master really is all he's got, well the way he sees it anyhow. But, as we all know, the Doctor is the master of denial. I don't believe for a second that deep down he thinks he really can save him. He wants to, sure but, he knows. He just knows, which makes it even sadder.

The Master/Doctor relationship is an interesting one. It's always seemed to me to be just a little like your friend with the abusive boyfriend. "You don't understand him like I do. He hits me because he loves me too much. He can change. I know I can save him" That kind of thing. But only very vaguely. It's also like the 'brothers on opposing sides' relationship. It's more like that than the former. The Doctor once called him "My very best enemy". I think thats the best way to describe it. Sort of frienemies.
