If the Doc can do it, why not Missy-Master?

^ Actually, the oddly positioned hand we assumed was Clara's, was really the Master's.

They have the same taste in jewelry.

Moffat's been emphatic that it really was Clara's hand and that the odd positioning of it was the result of 3-D filming.
 
Well he would say that or he has to pay even more residuals to Simm.

Cheap bastard.

Okies.

Briefly there were 6 billion Masters on Earth, right?

So what about all those dim bulbs who believe in past lives and try to uncover their past lives with drugs and hypnotism?

There could be hundreds of (partially) reactivated Masters on Earth at any one time, and none of them have to look like Simm. In fact without a prime Master on hand, anyone of these mental doppelgängers could feel the need to dominate or decimate his hidden brethren.

There can be only be one.

Right, and Moffat never lies does he? ;)

Guy, they'd only have to pay Simm if it was his hand, and he'd probably have noticed if his hand went missing. It plays on the Joey Tribbiani theory of "hand twins".

If a hit squad went after the Young Master, but struck on Young Tremis instead, possibly derailing Nyssa's birth... The universe almost ended in Terminus, and she was kind of essential to making that stopping happen.

What about several Geoffrey Beevers' The Master at different states/rates of mummification and rot?

Each of them shocked that their condition has become so much more awful than they ever expected.
 
I never want to see 'Missy' agin. Ever.

At least not played by Michelle Gomez...

That is going to be tough for series 9 since she is already confirmed to be coming back as Missy.

That really is a damned shame. She's truly awful.

Only the fact that I watched her prevents me from calling her unwatchable...
To each their own. I thought she was awesome, far more enjoyable then Simm's portrayal

Fair enough. I found her overwhelmingly 'pantomimeish'. Rather crass and badly performed.

See, I enjoyed the Pantomimishness and Crassness, but, didn't find it badly performed (Of course I am a great Bette Davis and Joan Crawford fan)
 
It would be the Moffat Master that is the "camp one". I see her as a cross between the Simms Master and the Ainley Master (with bits of the Pryce "Master" because its Moffat writing.)
 
If Missy set all that up, and executed the project in a couple hours.

A combination of working at computer speeds inside her heaven ball, and skipping over the boring parts with her TARDIS... Her erratic personality we saw in part could be explained by Regeneration Sickness.

Ainley and Delgado wore disguises.

Were any of the disguises so good, even momentarily, that a different actor was used?

If an old Master is pulled out of History in disguise, with a rubber Mask on, that would put the DElgado or Ainley's Masters back in play.

4.) Kalid: Boy, I don't even know what was going on with this shit. The Master steals a Concorde, which hopelessly dates the episode, and dresses up in a ridiculous costume for no reason. "Aha! Doctor! You thought I was an alien asshole with needlessly complicated plan, but I'm a different asshole from the one as whom I briefly disguised myself!"

Also what about he Melkur?

Between CGI and Power rangers foam rubber technology, that ####er (who is the Master's TARDIS.) could wreck some serious shit.

Yup, best Master in a long time (2 minutes of Jacobi excepted!)
 
The Master Race vs. The Silents.

It did happen.

We just didn't see it.

:)

Since the Masterrace's brians were networked, to a degree, as soon as one of them saw a Silent, they all should have been aware of the threat and be able to co-ordinate a successful purge.

In an alt universe/timeline where the Master race did not fall so quickly.

Would the Dalek Emperor still spend 200,000 years juicing millions of humans to a usable grain of DNA, if every human being was always and still the Master?

Would it take more or less time to make that Dalek armada of Daleks using the same completely insane Time Lord DNA over and over again rather than infinitely diverse pathetic Human DNA?

So, point being is that even though the Emperor is still the Emperor, all his Daleks are the Master, merely one regeneration away from getting their real memories and drives back after a good tilt.

Although, isn't he more dangerous as 10 million Daleks?

That did happen a few times with Delgado. When he puts on a latex mask it somehow changed his height and build.


Well he is the Master, after all.

EDIT:

It is weird. Today I saw a relatively recent picture of Chris Eccleston with a beard. The first things that came to mind was, "You know, wouldn't it be interesting to have him back as the Master" Keep the beard, but trimmed more in the style of Delgado. Force the Doctor to looks as his own face again as the enemy. Maybe as a setup for the Valeyard.

Having the Valeyard in play could result in a multi-Master story.

There was a Superman villain, Magog, who killed Superman.

Superman goes to Heaven, thinking it's a big deal, only to find 40 other Supermans trying to kick the pearly gates down and get in, because Saint Peter is saying that Heaven has reached it's quota.

:)

After every time Magog killed Superman, he'd travell back in time one day and kill Superman again for the first time. Magog had beaten Superman to death a hundred times already before our story had started.

I'm sure the Master and the Doctor could get into a similar tete a tete.
 
"But I travelled even further back in time, and bribed the architect first...."

It's happened before and will happen again
