== The description of the Master's reaction to Gallifrey's fate == | |||
In the plot summary, the Master's reaction to the learning of Gallifrey's fate is described thusly: "the Master is horrified to learn that Gallifrey is lost, and mercilessly berates the Doctor when he learns how the Time War ended and the Doctor's part in it." | |||
I didn't get this impression at all. The Master seems morbidly fascinated, almost envious that the Doctor got to be "like God." Here's the dialogue, taken from http://www.chakoteya.net/doctorwho/29-12.htm: | |||
MASTER: Back home. Where is it, Doctor? | |||
DOCTOR: Gone. | |||
MASTER: How can Gallifrey be gone? | |||
DOCTOR: It burnt. | |||
MASTER: And the Time Lords? | |||
DOCTOR: Dead. And the Daleks, more or less. What happened to you? | |||
MASTER: The Time Lords only resurrected me because they knew I'd be the perfect warrior for a Time War. I was there when the Dalek Emperor took control of the Cruciform. I saw it. I ran. I ran so far. Made myself human so they would never find me, because I was so scared. | |||
DOCTOR: I know. | |||
MASTER: All of them? But not you, which must mean... | |||
DOCTOR: I was the only one who could end it. And I tried. I did. I tried everything. | |||
MASTER: What did it feel like, though? Two almighty civilisations burning. Oh, tell me, how did that feel? | |||
DOCTOR: Stop it! | |||
MASTER: You must have been like God. | |||
DOCTOR: I've been alone ever since. But not anymore. Don't you see? All we've got is each other. | |||

Am I the only one who thinks the description in the summary does not represent the Master's reaction accurately? | |||
