:: The script makes it super clear that “The Master-Doctor” is a distinct being from both the Doctor and the Master. Dhawan’s role changes in the script. Point is. If Chibnall considers them distinct enough from the Master and the Doctor then the wiki should. I’d say “The Master-Doctor” should get its own page with Chibnall’s script name. The fact is it’s a hybrid of the two. Which should be coveted separately. It’s easy to say “he just acts like the Master though”. True he does, but I’d argue that’s a shortcoming of the story rather than proof it wasn’t Chibnall’s intention for it to be a separate being. {{Unsigned|81.108.82.15}} | :: The script makes it super clear that “The Master-Doctor” is a distinct being from both the Doctor and the Master.

:::We do not use details in the script to establish in-universe details. It's very much a violation of policy. Hence, why, for instance, we haven't said that Rasputin ''is'' The Master, rather than The Master ''pretending to be'' Rasputin.

:::: Yeah, the ''TPotD'' differs from the televised story in many little ways. It feels like an earlier draft of the script TBH. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 23:31, 15 March 2023 (UTC) |
