...And no, I'm not actually saying that about the episode, I'm quoting the video game the story ripped off wholesale.

That "Missy" thing. Really not a fan.

The Master was once the Doctors Moriarty. He was a ruthless megalomaniac who wanted to rule the galaxy because he believed under his rule it would be a better place. He had respect for the Doctor, but he was willing to kill him if need be, and as time went on the more the Doctor foiled him the more he came to genuinely hate his former friend to the point where it was all he had left.
The Doctor in turn grew to despise him too and wanted to murder the villain. In Mind of Evil he goes out of his way to kill him even when the Master has agreed to leave the earth, in Claws of Axos he tries to trap him in a time loop forever, in The Deadly Assassin he kicks him into a bottomless pit and says he is the one person he would wish death on, in Planet of Fire he burns him to a crisp, in the Ultimate Foe he tells the time lords to do what they want with him!
The Master however not only always escaped attempts on his life, but even attempts to incarcerate him. Thus the Doctor and the Master never truly defeated each other. On the one hand the Master didn't conquer planets like the earth, but on the other the Doctor no matter how hard he tried couldn't bring him down, and many innocent people, sometimes even whole civilisations would be destroyed, and entire species wiped out in the Doctor and the Masters war with each other.
They were a unstoppable force meeting an unmovable object.
Now however? The Master doesn't care about ruling the universe. She wants to suck Malcolm Tuckers cock and gives up an army of Cybermen to win him back. The Master also never escapes the Doctor because she is crafty, but because the Doctor likes her as seen in Death in Heaven where the Doctor knew she would survive and lied to everyone about it, or this story where he botched an attempt to kill her!
Also the Doctor is completely undermined as a hero. This is a man who to start with kisses the Master minutes after she has butchered Osgood and Kate Lethbridge Stewart (seemingly) in cold blood right in front of him! But worse than that the Doctor covers for her when she escapes, lies to Clara and everybody else, and botches attempts to execute the villain.
What the hell is the Master now? She's not the Doctors archenemy, is she his friend, girlfriend? Well that says a lot about the Doctor doesn't it that he hangs out with a maniac that tortured and killed his other friends and their loved ones like Captain Jack, Osgood, Clara, Kate Lethbridge Stewart, Martha Jones etc. The Doctor has lost all credibility as a hero.
Oh and on top of that the Master hasn't been able to escape from the Doctor in over 1000 years either. The Master really is past the point of saving now. And to think some "fans" say she is the best Master since Delgado To say she is even as good as Roberts is ridiculous!

Oh, Bullshit!
The Master was a cardboard cut-out paper-thin villain with all the depth of a puddle before RTD fleshed him out as a proper character. The black suit and moustache, the interchangeable Delgado/Ainley railroad baron with the damsel in distress tied to the tracks, the Master was so generic they might as well have stamped "ACME" on him.
The new series has done The Master a great service.
I agree, the Delgado version got by on the actor's charm. Although I liked Simm's initial appearance as the Master, they should have left him in the Pertwee era.

Saw Extremis last night. Was kind of expecting the worst, given the hate for it, plus Missy is in it (not exactly my favourite character), but... actually I really enjoyed it, again. Was a bit confusing at some points, but it was all explained at the end, so fair play. Good central SF idea, scary monsters, a sense of a genuine threat approaching Earth for the first time this year, all good!
Seal was right, no idea what some of you cunts are whining at!
I think you might be letting the level of writing influence your opinion of the performer. If Gomez appeared as Missy in series 3 with pretty much the same scripts as Simm had, would you still be making the same fuss? On pretty much every point you've brought up, Gomez's miscasting all come down the what the scripts have had her do rather than how she is as an actor.burrunjor wrote:1/ Gomez is only cast to pander to SJW's. She is not in the role on merit.
