OMG. Wow. Whew... O. M. G. Wooohoooo!

As you might have guessed, I liked it.

A quick first impression: it was awesome. Even after spoiling myself silly, I didn't know the how of when the Master made his return. I'm thrilled because he was my fave villy in Old Who. Rusty gave him the grand welcome he deserved. Sir Derek Jacobi was wonderful.

the last we saw him, the TARDIS got him and got indigestion

Not canon - I mean, that drawing in the book was Nyssa, seriously... So the REAL question is, how did he stop being a cat? ;-)

The anagram for "Mister Saxon" makes no sense if Eric Roberts is canon: Delgado, Pratt, Beevers, Ainley, Jacobi, Simm. Master No. Six... Bye bye, Eric! Unless of course they're counting Pratt and Beevers as just the one. Can you tell I'm loving the "Keeper of Traken" DVD, by the way? And where is my Roger Delgado avatar?

YAH!
The Master is back!
I am a happy camper.

"Use my name!" "...Master"

Can't wait till next week!

I suppose part of the thing is, Ant and Eric were The Master... but weren't timelords. Not in the slightest. They were weird... things. This is why the Timelords in the Five Docs (and maybe again prior to the time war...?) Offered the master a new regeneration cycle. Eva and I talked about this this morning, and I'd assume that something on the scale of the Time War would bring everyone running to the front lines. I can see The Doctor and the Rani and the Meddling Monk, and hell, maybe even Chronotis (oh that'd be cool), standing on the front lines to defend... well. Everything. But the Master...

I reckon he'd turn up, do what he needed to do to get a new life cycle, then piss off and hide. Which it appears is what he did.

We are left to fill in the blanks.
