*When Nyssa objects to the Doctor collaborating with the Master, the Doctor states "I've never chosen my own company." but in the very first Doctor Who ([[An Unearthly Child|DW: ''An Unearthly Child'']] ), he CHOSE to kidnap Barbara and Ian.

The Doctor is speaking generally, reflecting on how he oftend ends up in the company of certain people rather than selecting to have them with him. Recent to that time in his life, Romana, Adric, Tegan, and Nyssa could all be described in such a manner. If you really want to think of it as such, you could even argue that the Doctor felt forced to "kidnap" Ian and Barbara, because he feared the consequences of letting them go and potentially tell others of him and the TARDIS. | |||
*This story features the Doctor's TARDIS materialising around the Master's TARDIS and creating a [[gravity bubble]] and the [[recursion|recursive]] phenomena of infinite TARDIS'es nesting within each other. Two TARDIS's materialised "inside" each other in [[DW]]: ''[[The Time Monster]]'', but did not happen when the TARDIS materialised inside [[Professor Chronotis]]'s rooms (actually his TARDIS in disguise) in the untelevised [[DW]]: ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]''. | *This story features the Doctor's TARDIS materialising around the Master's TARDIS and creating a [[gravity bubble]] and the [[recursion|recursive]] phenomena of infinite TARDIS'es nesting within each other.

*If the Watcher is the in-between point of the Doctor's regenerations and has foreknowledge of what will happen to Doctor #4, then why didn't he warn the Doctor against going to Logopolis in the first place? Knowing that the Master is stalking the Doctor and indulging in a totally random killing spree, and that the Master will follow the Doctor to Logopolis and set in motion a chain of events that will erase a portion of the universe and kill countless beings....why doesn't he try to prevent this from happening? | *If the Watcher is the in-between point of the Doctor's regenerations and has foreknowledge of what will happen to Doctor #4, then why didn't he warn the Doctor against going to Logopolis in the first place?

A TARDIS is meant to blend in, and we now know that they can also have perception filters. Additionally, we don't know how loud the materialisation sound was at that moment, how good the worker's hearing was, or if he would have dismissed such a sound as something else (such as a piece of equipment). | |||
