Interesting how the Master's regeneration is very similar to the Doctor's. The both go from dour, serious, (somewhat or very) dark characters and regenerate into cooky, affable, and funny ones.
@Mysticalwind72 I completely disagree with you. Let the 10th doctor's history be done, it's time for new things. Tennant's Doctor was serious, the Master was crazy, now Smith's doctor is crazy, I think his doctor should be serious.
At least we're grateful that if John Simm is called back to play The Master again, he will seriously consider it (dunno how he's gonna escape the Time Lock). Ditto with John Barrowman, since he could have shown up in A Good Man Goes to War (Miracle Day barred him from coming though).
The drums were never mentioned in the series before John Simms. However, the Master claims he's heard them all his life, so we have to assume that the earlier versions of the Master heard them but never talked about them.

This is why Tenant is the best, he captures my emotions, the look on his when the Master rengenerates and the way he speaks keeps me emersed but Matt kinda frustates me with the semi withdrawn attitude. Maybe its just me but thats how I feel.
Funny you mention that. He was going to be cast as Doctor #8 for the TV movie. He said no because he knew having an American Doctor was a horrible idea.
continueing my last comment. Think about it. Delgado was the 13th but I count him as the first master because thats who we see. He aged into the second master. Stole anouther body for the third master did the same again for the forth and was 'resurected' by timelords for the fith. Simm/master no.six is the only one we've seen to come from a regenaration
Simm is my favarate master. He's so funny. The master needed to move with the times. With the show. With so many cold villians like daleks we needed a diffrent kind of enemy thats what Simm's master is.
I don't understand the arguments that he doesn't behave like the old masters. If that were a real argument than why don't you all moan at the 10 versions of the doctor after the 1st as he changed personality too
@firmuspiett THANK YOU! By god people, if he was exactly the same as he was in the old series and totally unchanged after a regeneration i don't think it would have worked: He isn't ALWAYS going to have a beard, his personality is going to change..because he's a TIME-LORD.
When a time-lord regenerates, they change not just physically but also in personality: Hell, look back at the first doctor and take a look at...any doctor after that! Are they the same? NO! So stop whining.
@infernai and THANK YOU. I loved Roger Delgado and Anthony Ainley. I did. But mustache twidderling villian practicly crys 'BOO ME' is just not going to hit the majority of the audeince. It may please lots of old who fans but I'm sorry it just won't make the moden cut.
I've worked something out. We never saw a huge change in master's personality before this and I think I know why. HE NEVER REGENIRATED. So his personality wouldn't change.
I did not care for John Simm was written. It was more like they wanted to make the Doctor an equal foe, so they decided to make him as goofy and energenic, which the master simply shouldn't be. The Master never gave out Candies and acted stupid during the fourth Doctors era, so why the tenths? And for that "insanity" everyone sais he brought to the role, well, I think Anthony Anieley actually brout it that. Just watch the scene in Castrovalva where he is trying to open the ZeroRoombox. Amazing.
"The Master... Re-born... into this gay little randome jumpy thing that wont shut up and has absolutely no resembelence to the Master and seems more like a David Tennant-wannabe."
@auro1001 The moment I saw Simm bouncing around the console room I wondered where he was in 1996 when we were forced to watch a hammy American B-movie actor in the role who wouldn't have understood the role if a manual fell out of the sky and onto his lap!
.Ledger toned down the Joker, from an over-the-top maniacal clown, into a more serious psychopath.Simm did the same thing in reverse with The Master. Making him more insane.
As many times as the Master has died you know he is coming back. More than any other character in Doctor Who history other than Rose I so wish they would bring back the Master playing against Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor. What would really be great would be if John Simm played the part. Now being Tennant is gone they will probably find another actor to play the Master to go up against the 11th Doctor but I just think Simm and Smith onscreen together as nemesis would be spectacular.
@mysticalwind72 I'm not sure wheter I want him to return. On the one hand, I absolutely LOVE the Master, and 11's personality would work better in a frenemyship situation that 10's did. (nothing against 10 or the brilliant DT playing him) on the other hand, they finally gave the Master the sendoff that was always intended for his character (Heroic sacrifice), and I don't want that to be ruined/invalidated.
@MrCheckersmcgee All the actors who have played the Master were great in their own ways even Eric Roberts Master was not bad but I do think Simm....Delgado...Ainley are just three stand out classic wonderful villains.
@MrCheckersmcgee There's a person on Dailymotion that has all of the classic Doctor Who episodes from the 1st Doctor to the 8th Doctor called tardismedia.
@PS3Worshipper Because he(the Master) could control his regeneration better then the doctor who was always random with it. Romana could also control her appearance when she regenerated in Destiny of the Daleks.
@hamanu666 Maybe because Romana graduated from the academy with full marks on her first go while the Doctor only scraped through with 51% on his second attempt. He is very touchy on that subject though.
He and David just bring a whole new dynamic to the relationship between the Doctor and the Master... damn they are good. I wonder, if they get a new Master for Matt's Doctor... will it be possible to one up the Tennant/Simm epic awesomeness? I dunno seems pretty unlikely... :P
I really liked Derek Jacobi's portrayal and wish he had been able to play the role longer. The way he speaks when he's ticked off reminds me so much of the master from the classic series, just the same master with an older face and a shave. :)
John Simm was very good in the role too, but I didn't see much of the classic master in him until the end of time when he's trying to bargain and make deals at the end. Then he reminded me of the master from the five doctors.
This john simm versian of the master must be the masters 3rd regeneration because when the time lord resurected him im guessing he gets his full cycle back.
that could be correct. tho, his DNA could have been rewritten through the chameleon watch. and the reason he used the watch was to hide from the time lords, and in the End of Time, the doctor could smell the master. so i believe he did get his full cycle back
Why does the Master adapt so easily to his newly regenerated form? During Tennant's first special, he spent half of it unconscious and expelling energy.
@flamingopuree Because the Doctor absorbed the energy from the Time Vortex, and was expelling it throughout the episode, rather than just getting rid of it all when he regenerated.
when tennant first regenerated he had a space of time in which he got the tardis back to rose's estate, then he rested etc. I expect the master did the same, he did go far enough back in time to get married and build up a political party, i'm sure he squeezed a nap in somewhere :D
In that case, I think the doctor put it down to him absorbing most of the time vortex which caused him to regenerate in the first place. It was that which caused all those ill after effects. But still, nothing a good cup of tea couldn't solve!
@flamingopuree; also, the Doctor had a brief moment of action before collapsing, as seen in the "Children in need" special... The Master could have done the same and spent time recovering on Earth. :D
or, as it says from many sources, some timelords handle regeneration better than others (see the beginning of "destiny of the daleks", see what i mean).
@flamingopuree Oh, that's because the Regeneration from 9 into 10 went somewhat wrong... The Doctor is simply not too lucky with the whole regeneration business, (see, for example, the Debuts of Doctor 5, 6 and 8) I guess it varies from Time Lord to time Lord. I think we can take the Master's reaction as the average one - and the Doctor even traveled once with a young Time Lady who seemed particularily gifted at it. She could even decide what she's look like
@theO2guy Nah, the Doctor usually ends up looking a little younger, too, and he's pretty bad at controlling his regenerations - He always ends up complaining about his appearence afterwards XD But then again, the Doctor once traveled with a young Time Lady (Romana was her name - look up her episodes, she was awesome) who could pretty much choose what she'd look like and it was once hinted that most time lords have at least a moderate ability to control how they'll turn out....
I think that Derek Jacobi was the last of the "classic" Masters. He just had those characteristics. Whereas John Simms is definately a new brand of The Master.
I think that there's some elements of Eric Robert's camp master in John Simm's potrayal, to a degree. Although in "End of Time" he seems a bit more like the Peter Pratt/Geoffrey Beevers "corpse" Master, with a touch of the more primal version of the Master that Ainley played in "Survival".
Also to add to that the Master's skeletal "X-ray" appearence is very close to the Pratt master, with the bulgy eyes and the skull, plus the hood he wears when approaching the burger stand.
Say! this is awesome! In Australia we're like 10 or so episodes behind this. :) We haven't even got Jack back yet. BUT NOT TO WORRY! And also this is great now The Doctor and his Timelord "BUDDY" Are similar in age! Teehee. But David's so much sexier. WOAH. :]]

@flamingopuree Oh, that's because the Regeneration from 9 into 10 went somewhat wrong... The Doctor is simply not too lucky with the whole regeneration business, (see, for example, the Debuts of Doctor 5, 6 and 8) I guess it varies from Time Lord to time Lord. I think we can take the Master's reaction as the average one - and the Doctor even traveled once with a young Time Lady who seemed particularily gifted at it. She could even decide what she's look like

when i first saw the master regenerate i missed the scene were Chanto shot him so i belived he regenerated willingly by using some Time Lord trick
fraur001 2 years ago 2
Does the Master control his regeneration then?? That sentence " if the Doctor can be young and strong...so can I..." makes me think he controls them.
theO2guy 2 years ago
The doctor usually regenerates into someone young, plus the Master is older, so middle-aged seems young as well.
HiddenPoet13 2 years ago
Time Lords always get a younger body with each new regeneration. Some appear to have a better control over their regeneration.
The Doctor has little to no control.
Nix91 2 years ago 2
@theO2guy Nah, the Doctor usually ends up looking a little younger, too, and he's pretty bad at controlling his regenerations - He always ends up complaining about his appearence afterwards XD But then again, the Doctor once traveled with a young Time Lady (Romana was her name - look up her episodes, she was awesome) who could pretty much choose what she'd look like and it was once hinted that most time lords have at least a moderate ability to control how they'll turn out....

No, not really, he's just a little mental. Kinda like Deadpool but without the 4th wall breaking.

No. He's only talking to himself. Most mad villains tend to do that.

More time than they had doing the RG from 9th Doctor to 10th Doctor.

Maybe it is more painful to regenerate from being old to being young or it could be the pain of all his memories coming back to him.

what exactly caused the master to regenerate? was it through force of will?

I think that Derek Jacobi was the last of the "classic" Masters. He just had those characteristics. Whereas John Simms is definately a new brand of The Master.

The character still acted very much the same though, didn't he?

I think that there's some elements of Eric Robert's camp master in John Simm's potrayal, to a degree. Although in "End of Time" he seems a bit more like the Peter Pratt/Geoffrey Beevers "corpse" Master, with a touch of the more primal version of the Master that Ainley played in "Survival".
cpatmaier 1 year ago
Also to add to that the Master's skeletal "X-ray" appearence is very close to the Pratt master, with the bulgy eyes and the skull, plus the hood he wears when approaching the burger stand.

I haven't seen a lot of the classic Masters, since I was introudced to Who from Eccelston and on. But I kind of agree.
Then again, you can't deny that Simms has definitely made the role fit! =D

make room for Master Jacobi.
John Simm was awsome in Life on mars, that doesn't make him a good master.

Say! this is awesome! In Australia we're like 10 or so episodes behind this. :) We haven't even got Jack back yet. BUT NOT TO WORRY! And also this is great now The Doctor and his Timelord "BUDDY" Are similar in age! Teehee. But David's so much sexier. WOAH. :]]

On Scifi, Doctor Who episodes wasn't that far behind their original airings. Now BBC America, we won't discuss how slow that is. lol
