I think it would a nice callback to the old seasons if the Master followed the new doctor into their debut episodes like Castrovalva.

Not yet anyway.
Exactly. Every cell in the Doctor's body has just changed due to a traumatic event. The surprise isn't that the Doctor's messed up after regeneration. It's that the Doctor isn't even more messed up. A brief amnesia is getting off light.
Why does everyone always get hung up on the Doctor's memory problems immediately after a regeneration. I remember the entire fandom clung to Capaldi's "do you know how to fly this thing?" line in his post-regeneration scene believing it to be a vital plot point, which it totally wasn't.
To be fair, the Doctor hadn't flown the TARDIS in several centuries at that point. 
No worries about what?
She landed on a coconut, they’re known to cause amnesia.
If getting a T-Rex to Victorian England isn't vital, I'd like to know what is.
For forget-...ohhh...
^^^^ lol.....
You have thwarted my attempts to spin this out for at least three page, for the last time DocTORRRRR!

Details, details.To be fair, the Doctor hadn't flown the TARDIS in several centuries at that point.
We had people believing it was going to define the Doctor's character arc for Capaldi's first season. Which it totally didn't.
Well you came up would a good idea as well. He was simply bored which I think would also be a fun idea. I mean their are tons of head-canon reasons to use if one wants to do it. Granted I would mostly play it off in humor because like I said you want Timelords to have mystery. Nobody wants the show to start going all technobabble on how the tech work or how TImelord Biology works. Like I said though it doesn't matter. But it doesn't matter either if they did write in some head-canon thing as well. There is no right or wrong answer to this idea or any creative idea. It's whatever idea the writers might think is worth writing about and if they can get a good joke out of it or maybe some drama.

I don't think there should be a reason, it just happened and doesn't matter.
One of my favorite post regen memory lapses is in the second or two he takes off in Robot in front of Sarah Jane before he helps in the case, he managed to get to Leela's planet and get himself memorialized as the Evil One....which I said pages ago and that sent several posters into tizzies because reasons.
Exactly. We've heard many times that it's a random thing
9th- It's a bit dodgy this process. You never know what you're going to end up with.
OHILA: Mock us if you will, but our elixir can trigger your regeneration, bring you back. Time Lord science is elevated here on Karn. The change doesn't have to be random. Fat or thin, young or old, man or woman?
That's the scene. Terence Dicks originated the idea in his Target novelization of The Face of Evil.
I always took it that the Doctor just landed the same moment that he left so it looks like the Tardis didn't leave. It's a time machine.
At least when #10 left Rose for 30 seconds, the TARDIS did a full dematerialization. #4 didn't even get that far.
I think it's always a neat idea that in a 10 or 30 second period, the Doctor could have done a great many things elsewhere.
Maybe the blu-rays will fix this?
