Well, that certainly is a video which contains a song.

Good Moleman to you.

How much of his wardrobe did you keep, Mr. Saxon?

Blink is the episode that made my son (9 years old) a Doctor Who fan, although he prefers the follow up two parter.

I think something they did right so often with Delgado was that the Master was the mastermind and was often paired with other villains, pulling the strings or waiting to double-cross everyone. I'd like to see more of that with a nuWho Master.

I'm a big fan of Evelyn as well. I especially like her streak of "yes, I'm a historian, but look at how awful this turned out. I don't care what you say, I'm going to try to do something about it" as it comes to certain aspects of established history. That's not so much on display here, but it's played to great comic…

I didn't have an answer until I saw Charles Dance below, so yeah, that's my answer.

Ooohhhh, I like that!

I think the only reason it sort of works keeping the Doctor alive is the awareness from both of them that they're the only remaining members of their race and the genre mandated sense of the two needing each other.

That's definitely the best analogy.

So where was Paul McGann?!

Time of Angels/Flesh and Stone were fun, I just wasn't entirely on board with some of the aspect of the Angels, like the taunting @avclub-d722130ef5aa1f87827d536d59423aa0:disqus mentioned or the couple of instances of outright killing instead of the earlier established method of zapping back in time. That said, it was…

My complaints aren't about Simms' Master but about the story itself. I really enjoyed his performance. I just wish he had been given a better story to appear in.

Agreed. There's a reason Delgado and Pertwee worked so well together. Both did camp well.

I thought "Utopia" was a wonderful reintroduction of the Master, but the stuff back on Earth, with the shriveled and caged Doctor, Martha's walkabout, everyone's "I believe" moment, etc, soured things for me. I think it worked great as a prelude, but what followed didn't live up to the prelude.

The use of the Angels in this episode was perfect, so much so that every appearance since then seems to weaken them as a concept.

I wonder if Moffat hasn't brought the Master back yet only because of the bad taste left after every post-Utopia appearance. I think Capaldi definitely needs a Master to play off of.

Agreed. Even then, Simms wasn't bad. It was just the following two episodes were terrible and then they gave him Sith powers. One of the few things I liked about "The End of Time" was that the Master had a cult of some type, but between his high speed eating, his "turn everyone into me" plot, and well, the story as a…

I only wish the follow up to "Utopia" provided a good payoff.

Jacobi's transformation from Yana into the Master was absolutely terrifying. I remember the first time I saw the episode that I only had a vague sense of the classic series, so I was somewhat aware that the Master was a villain, but the truly frightening part was the slight pause where it seemed that maybe the…
