About The Master, part two

5. Favorite line: "Why don't we have a nice little chat while I tell you all about my plans and you can work out a way to stop me, I don't think!" (From his first appearance, in UTOPIA. Sadly haven't seen the episode yet -- I'm going in anachronic, whatever-strikes-my-fancy order, really -- but that line's pretty good)

6. Favorite outfit: The Prime Minister get-up. Also, Professor Yana's (let's say he's in disguise for a short period of time) clothes in "Utopia".

7. OTP: Doctor/Master. I just like how their dynamic plays out.

8. Brotp (or Sisotp depending on the character. Or Platonic Life Partners OTP. Or Heterosexual Life Partners OTP. Whatever. :): See above. If not in a more Foe Yay-ish way, I still like them. It helps that I have a bit of a soft spot for kinda-sorta-still-loves-the-Doctor Master, in whatever sense of the word.

9. Head Canon: I'd like to think that the drums didn't ultimately start taking their toll on his sanity until much later. They probably started off as a dull itch in the back of his mind before becoming more bothersome, to say the least. (That and perhaps there were other factors as well. I mean, there are still some pages missing in the Master's origin story. Nothing bad, just...some pages missing)

10. Unpopular opinion: Even rewatching the TV Movie, I've changed my position a bit on Eric Roberts' Master. True, there are some areas where he needs work, but he definitely had some shining moments in there too -- for example, correcting one of the Doctor's -- informal -- companions' grammar while he, disguised as a paramedic, is driving them into a trap. Also, his interactions with Chang Lee.

11. A wish: As much as I actually liked John Simm's Master, I think it would be equally cool if, say, Sean Bean or Gary Oldman played the Master. Or even Christopher Eccleston. Damn expensive actors, maybe, but...*shrugs* It would have been interesting to see.

12. An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: I don't think there's really anything to worry about.

13. 5 words to best describe them: Troubled, slightly crazy, childlike, vulnerable, misguided (especially in the "End of Time" two-parter, really).
