It's not even the obvious lines like "are you asking me on a date?", it's how the Master reacts as soon as he hears the Doctor's voice, and vice versa,
Yes. Oh, god, the look on the Master's face... Best Master characterization moment ever. And that whole conversation was rather disturbingly sexy. (I think I give up now. The Whovian smut bunnies win. :))
That was one of the must gut-wrenching visuals on New Who.
It was the sound that wrenched my guts. The cloister bell ringing and ringing and ringing, like the TARDIS screaming... *whimper*
and the Gallifrey moment (which goes into chilling again, because you can't decide whether he's horrified or turned on by the idea or both)
I think both. I think not only does he kind of get off on the thought of that kind of power (and probably on the thought of the Doctor giving in to that kind of power), but I can't help but think that discovering he'd out-survived his entire species is the sort of thing that would please his ego.
possibly represented by whoever Lucy Saxon really is; I know the journalist said she had a genuine background, but that could just mean she has it better faked
I think I'm more curious about her than anything else in this episode, which is saying something. Who is she? How much does she know? What exactly is the nature of her relationship with the Master?
