Simm was scary in 'I may not look dangerous but I fucking am' kind of way - like the Sultanas last week.

Roger Delgado was the best master, he was a quite superb actor. It's said Jon Pertwee got jealous of the amount of fan mail that Roger received, which is quite believable.

Well, I like a character who has some depth, and isn't just a cartoon with a silly beard.

The old ones are scary, I agree. But I think overall Simm was the best.

Would have been great to have seen a bit more of Jacobi, though. That moment when he changes from kindly Professor to mass murderer is stunning.

Yes, absolutely. How about if Yana had started out as Simm and then regenerated into Jacobi!

That was fan-flipping-tastic.
I.. am... the Master!
Awwwwwesome.

I think they used the perfect amount of Jacobi though.

Derek Jacobi is brilliant. He would have been a much better Master, except that the silly script would have made him dance around to the Scissor Sisters and put Dr.Who in a birdcage, so he would have ended up looking stupid anyway.

"I am the M-M-M-Master and y-y-y-ou will o-b-b..."

(by which time Dr.Who has escaped.)

He couldn't have carried it off.
Simm was perfect.

As was Jacobi! In his limited role.

I could have done without the Doctor being teeny and in a birdcage though. I don't think that part worked at all.

I do sometimes watch Dr Who and not think about sexing the Doctor, y'know.

He should have just become mega frail and boney and dusty or summink. Not shrunk!
It was insane.

Although I get that no one knows what would happen if you aged 900 years. Kind of a nod towards what's happened to Jack on his way to being Bo.

Well that's a point - so you start to shrink at first (first 1000 years or so), then when you get really, really old, you start to grow into a giant, or maybe a giant face?

Nah, it makes me care more what's happening.
A little too much, some might say. ;)
When I'm watching, it's the Doctor I'm interested in, not Tennant.

Ok, when you're watching. But what about, say, around bedtime? :P

Anyway I think you could probably ogle AND pay attention to what's going on, what with your woman's multi-tasking thing and all? Oh, it's hard to be a man :(

EDIT:

Unless you need to be spacially aware about something of course :)
