Quote from Doctor Who - The End of Time (Part II)

[akaihyo]

The Master: But, this is fantastic isn't it? The Time Lords restored!

The Doctor: You weren't there, in the final days of the war. You never saw what was born. That if the time lock's broken then everything is coming through. Not just the Daleks but the Skaro Degradations, The Horde of Travesties, The Nightmare Child, the Could-Have-Been King with his armies of Mean-Whiles and Never-Weres. The world turned into Hell, and that's what you opened right above the Earth. Hell is descending.

The Master: My kind of world.

Have I explained just how much I love the John Simm Master?

Me too. While I am not thrilled by turning the Master into a supervillain, I do love seeing John Simm play him.

How is the Master (as a character) not a supervillain? Encyclopaedic knowledge of... everything, major points in gadgeteer skills, has significant resources, is the arch-enemy of the hero...

Or are you talking about the Master's superpowers in The End Of Time? I'd agree with that... he doesn't need zap powers to do what he does.

Exactly. He is a mastermind, in both the supervillain and James Bond enemy mold (or, at least he was originally). He does not need strange powers just his mind and his will (and a bit of hypnotism).

I doubt we'll see the zap powers again. I think they were specific to that episode. Interested to see what Moffat's take on the Master (if any) though... in theory we're expecting him to be darker than Davies.
