But I am still left confused on how the Doctor believed in it at any point. Was there something I missed that explained its reasonability for potentially existing?

    I still fully believe the theory that the newest Master is actually the incarnation before Missy. It makes sense that she did indeed die for good (but honestly who knows with the Master). After all the work Missy does I believed that she had changed and the actions and personality of the current Master doesn't make sense to me that they would have gone back there (then again he is completely crazy, so who knows). But for me, the actions of the Master in season 12 makes much more sense to me happening before Missy.

  • @jeffwalker7185
    @jeffwalker7185 4 года назад +63

    One problem with the Master (Sacha) being stranded on Earth after the Doctor outed him to the SS as a British spy is, he must have known many occasions when an earlier incarnation of himself was on Earth. For example, at Jodrell Bank in the 1980's when he was present for the fourth Doctor's regeneration. The Master has shown little regard for his previous incarnations and could have easily gained access the the Ainly Master's Tardis. He even mentions the Jodrell Bank incident to the Doctor (asking if he had ever apologised).

    Missy did remember regenerating from Simm. That was the tragedy of it, she knew he was going to shoot her. In fact I think that was her intention. That's why she refused to stand with the Doctor when he offered. She knew what was coming.

The decayed Beavers incarnation is finally killed by the Ravenous inside Artron's tomb on the planet Parrak. Eventually two of his future selves (Missy and War) and one of his previous selves (Eric Roberts stolen body) team up to ressurect him (with permission from the CIA) and give him a new Regen Cycle. Once the regeneration is done, Missy greets the new Master with "Hello you" wich is MacQueen's catchfrase

    21:16 I'm not a big fan of John Simm's portrayal of the Master, but I *love* what Russell did with the character's relationship with the Doctor.
    We always thought the Master was hell bent on surviving, but he's not - *he's hell bent on beating the Doctor, and he'd live for a million if that's how long it'd take.*
    In Last of the Time Lords, the Doctor thought he knew the Master - he thought all he wanted was to live forever. But proving the Doctor wrong in dying, the Master came as close to a victory as he could. In a way, he beat the Doctor. Even if it costed him his own life, he didn't care because he won.
    So much better than being obsessed with immortality. Russell really transformed that character.

      John Simm's Master was the perfect foil to David Tennant's Doctor. Both actors about the same age, similar build, similar energy level, similar ability to switch on a dime (or a sixpence) from dark and brooding to manic and joyful, then back to dark and brooding again. If Simm had played The Master at any other time, it would not have been so good.

    There are so many different explanations to Delgado turning into crispy master idk which one is right, theres the Susan one where he was fighting her for the matter transmutor meaning crispy is delgado, there was the Doorway to Hell one where 12 defeated him and he ended up slightly burned and mortally wounded but started to regenerate (meaning he either attempted regeneration but botched it after the comic was over because h'd already run out and ended up in the decayed body or successfully regenerated and a later body became the crispy one or regenerated into crispy) and there's the Vampire Of The Mind one (on the Tardis wiki it states the Macqueen master burned him but idk if that means burnt to that point).
