Howling:Problems with the Master race
The idea that everyone on Earth becomes the Master makes no sense:
- People in smaller clothes or tight spaces. What would happen to them when they became Mastered?
- People in wheel chairs or on life support. If when they became the Master and they moved away from these necessities before changing back then they would fall and possibly die. That's a lot of deaths.
Somebody please explain this to me! 94.72.192.2talk to me 16:13, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
- It looked like people's clothes changed sizes when they became the Master, and anyone in a wheelchair is screwed. Either they're stuck until somebody helped them, or they died. It's not like either the Master or Rassilon would really care.Icecreamdif ☎ 17:36, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
Clothes changing size somehow doesn't suspend belief too much, but I doubt that if someone's in a tight space then said tight space will expand, and a lot of disabled people must have mysteriously died from falling somewhere far away from their wheelchair, definitely enough to arouse suspicion. 94.72.192.2talk to me 21:08, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
- Arouse more suspicion than, say, Gallifrey suddenly being visible in the sky? Even if nobody remembered turning into the Master, they certainly all remembered that; there was even a joke about a 'typical Donna moment' in her missing it.
- According to Luke, Sarah Jane somehow covered the whole thing up. (I have no idea how that worked.) Every conspiracy theorist in the world would be looking for holes in that coverup. Even if someone noticed that a few hundred disabled people, children, and extraordinarily tall people died or were injured in slightly odd ways on the same day, that wouldn't make even the most avid conspiracy nut suspect that, say, everyone had turned into Harold Saxon for a few hours.
- And finally, even if someone did figure out that the Master Race thing happened, so what? These are people who are used to leaving London every Christmas to avoid alien invasions, who recently got towed across the galaxy by the Daleks, etc. --70.36.140.233talk to me 09:33, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
I mean arousing suspicion in the sense that at least one of the characters would mention it. Luke Smith, for instance, was heard talking about a planet mysteriously appearing in the sky, but he didn't mention that nearly every wheelchair-bound person in the world all fell out at the same time and died of the fall. Stephen Hawking, for instance, probably wouldn't survive, and that has to have some impact, as much in the DW universe as it would in this one. I'm guessing Rassilon just reversed the process and the effects of it, the effects of it being that Mastered people in small spaces were squished and disabled people all fell and died without even leaving their wheelchairs. 94.72.194.203talk to me 10:05, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
