The Dragon Dalek I think that he had a plan. For me his plan was to go back in time, send a message to the people saying to come to "Utopia" and then kidnapp them and turn them into those creepy technological flying balls with whome he conquered the Earth. That would explain why Yana was there: he projected that from the first place going back to the past as the Master with the Tardis. If he didn't send that message, he wouldn't be there to help the flying machine to evacuate the Universe, he wouldn't have met the Doctor and he wouldn't have become a Time Lord again, so he couldn't have send that message and etc. etc... That's actually a great plan. O.O

[@kryptoniansky]

+Ionut Maris Just saying, because I see this sort of thing way too often...It's disrespectful to automatically assume that if someone has a different favourite version of the Master then he/she simply hasn't seen the others. Maybe they haven't, but just because Delgado is a great and very popular Master does not mean every single person will agree he's the best. Each to their own - there are a lot of great Masters, but we all have our own opinions and preferences.

[@josephcarlisle1943]

+Kryptonian Sky the problem is he isn't delgado is the most underated master walk up to any generic whovian who started watching in 2005 mention delgado and they'll give you a blank

[@kryptoniansky]

***** I have to completely disagree there. For starters, I got into Doctor Who in 2005 and I am more than well aware of who Delgado is as I have since gotten into Classic Who as well. I have many friends who are casual viewers or dedicated Whovians that started in 2005 and they also know who Delgado is. So once again, it's disrespectful to assume an opinion on favoring a version of the Master over Delgado (or any other) means they simply haven't seen them all. My point in the previous post still stands. This is not a matter of picking which Master you think is the best, but rather how rude it is to say anyone who disagrees about Delgado just doesn't know him or haven't seen him. Please respect that people have different views and preferences when it comes to characters, and the Master is no different. It doesn't mean they're wrong or any less of a dedicated/informed Whovian just because they don't agree with you. This is all I'm going to say on the subject. Have a lovely day.

[@josephcarlisle1943]

I do but some people simply do not know who delgado is, you can't deny that some people do and pick a different master/missy (like me) but delgado is very underrated and so is ainley but i will admit peter pratt and george beevers are the most underated masters

Wait. This is the only actual regeneration we have seen from the Master, right? RIGHT?

[@Masan1779]

+MrDeathrock9 Times when the Master has taken possession of another person's body don't count as regenerations.

[@Masan1779]

+Jack Franklin Vlogs Nope. Regeneration, as done by the Time Lords, involves renewing their own body. The possessions done by the Master were merely overriding the host's mind with his own, thereby taking over their body. Also, one of the bodies that he stole wasn't even human.

[@Masan1779]

+Jack Franklin Vlogs But the point that I am trying to make is that those occasions when The Master stole someone else's body, do not count as regenerations. They are just possessions. And he did not "change his face" after either body theft. When he possessed Tremas, he kept the same face. He just made it younger using his remaining power from the Source of Traken.

[@Masan1779]

+Jack Franklin Vlogs Regenerated Time Lords don't replace their current, dying body with a new one. Their own body has its cells renewed and rearranged. Basically, same body, different shape. Taking over/stealing another being's body is not the same as renewing their own body. Therefore, possession doesn't count as regeneration. It's just an alternate method for the Master to extend his life. Perhaps it is cheap. But definitely not regeneration.

[@Masan1779]

+Jack Gaming Your comment is irrelevant to this discussion. My point is that possessions don't count as regenerations. Possession means taking over someone else's body. If the Master is renewing his own body cells, regardless of method, then it is not possession. And therefore, not relevant to this discussion.

@@Bithe7011 Their titles, adopted titles that is, are part of the right of passage for the high lords of Time Lords themselves. As soon as they go through the rite of passage they choose an identity that permeates the way they will wade through the time vortex (all of time) when and if they every decide to traverse it in any manner. E.g. this is why there is Lord General (military commander), Lord President, Lord Doctor, Lord Master and so on. All Time Lords can traverse the time vortex but the highest of them become an embodiment of an idea itself and essentially become the fixed moments in time that define said idea, e.g. the Doctor heals, the Master subjugates and so on. It is a very interesting concept, and when toyed properly with, e.g. during the Time War where the Doctor became a War Doctor, essentially a combatant, it can bring out great stories. Let's also not forget that during the Time War, the Doctor (War Doctor) and the Master fought together against the Daleks during the whole time continuum, which ended with the "fall" of Gallifrey and the eventual Time Locking of the Time War so that no more time travellers could affect these moments, essentially making all the Time War fixed moments in time and solidifying the aspect of the military Doctor as was depicted by the late great John Hurt.

The producer of The War Master and the person responsible for writing Jacobi's Master in other stories for Big Finish, Scott Handcock, is the script editor for RTD2 so if Jacobi is still up for it this is the best time for his Master to make a return to screen.

"Killed by a girl... How inappropriate." Somehow adds even more to the laughter between John Simms' Master and Missy as they both die in their loop.

[@infernoproject3904]

Loved this scene. I salute John Simm's (too short in my opinion) time as the Master

[@hippolytecourtilleau7980]

It's funny to think that the Master could have take the Doctor's apparence (his hand was on the tardis).

[@Scrummy64]

Simm made such a perfect foil for Tennant; I'm curious to see how he'll stack up when pitched against Capaldi. I do like Gomez, but I can't help but feel that someone like Jacobi would've been a waaaaay better foe for the Twelfth Doctor

[@Lantern_Matt_2814]

have you noticed when Simm returned as the Master in Capaldi's run, he was sporting the silver tint to his hair and the goatee similar to Roger Delgado's look during the 70's even having a bit of a serious tone mixed in with his own I liked him returning, it gave me a reason to like Michelle Gomez's version more. even though I still don't like the idea of Time Lords changing gender, I think it would have been more fitting if Michelle Gomez turned out to be Rani

Back before listening to the War Master Audio Drama's: Man, it's a shame we didn't get to see Derek Jacobi's master more and how the doctor would have gone about stopping a plan. After listening to the War Master Audio Drama's: I'm starting to understand why they had him regenerate. Jacobi's Master with a year of prep-time would have been almost unstoppable.

Imo this is still the absolute best regeneration in terms of presentation. You can argue that 10 or 11's regenerations were better narratively if you want, but the visuals here are the absolute best we've ever seen. It uses a morph rather than a simple fade, but it's masked behind other heavy effects and shot from an angle which makes the transition between two very different looking people seem completely natural. Whereas Capaldi to Whittaker looked really janky for a number of reasons, including the fact that the angle leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination and the energy effects look like a simple filter.

[@plantainsame2049]

You can see the change for 9 to 10 and 12 to 14 as well as 10 to11 In this he just swaps from one to the other between frames barley any morph

At the very midpoint of regeneration (and the thumbnail), the Master REALLY looks like Mark Sheppard.

[@ryanmills892]

John Simm was born to play The Master, I really wish we got to see more of him in the role.

[@DoctorDodge]

Simm got much more time than Jacobi, at least. Far, far more time. It's a shame Jacobi only got ten minutes as the Master on screen, as he was simply incredible, but at least he's got his own audio series.

[@ryanmills892]

You're right, Jacobi was fantastic as Professor Yana, and his transition into The Master was perfect, he deserved more screen time prior to Regeneration.

[@lukedaley17]

Loved The Masters regeneration. Compared to The Doctor’s, The Master’s regeneration looks more sinister which is suiting to what kind of character he is.

[@LewysC]

@@The12thDimension. Well the TARDIS may be conscious but it's a machine that can be operated and considering The Master is a Time Lord he knows exactly what buttons to press 😅 Also the Tardis could see into the future and probably already knew the outcome of The Masters plan (failure) so just let things play out the way they were supposed to.

I like that this Master doesn't go into regenerative trauma, as he's presumably so broken already that it wouldn't make any difference.

to be fair the Doctor's just bad at regenerating, he's the only Timelord who goes through the whole temporary amnesia thing

Love how when the Doctor regenerates he makes a big song and dance about it, but when the master regenerates he just gets into it on the off.

The Master was always known to be a better Time Lord than The Doctor. His insanity was his inhibitor

[@Prince__Teclis]

According to the doctor who rpg books, the Master can control his regeneration nearly flawlessly. So he basically picked what he'd end up with before starting. Whereas the Doctor never knows what he'll end up with.

Anyone have any theories as to why the doctor says sorry? I’ve always thought it was because he knew the first thing the master would do is try and find gallifrey to see what happened after the time war and that he’d be completely horrified to find that it was no longer there and the time lords wiped out.
