Richard IV with a doomsday weapon-pretty scary. Either way, the fact that so many Time Lords have stopped using their name in the exact same way the Doctor has suggests that it is not a doomsday weapon, unless of course the Master's also got one that he's just never bothered to use.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 02:15, September 19, 2011 (UTC) | Richard IV with a doomsday weapon-pretty scary.

: To be fair, we're talking about a master criminal who accidentally miniaturized himself and got stuck in a box; is it that hard to believe that he'd forget that "Koschei" is the password to his doomsday weapon? (PS, sorry for destroying the universe by typing "Koschei" there.) | |||
: Anyway, the real question is: can silence fall in the forest if there's nobody there to not hear it? --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.19|70.36.140.19]] 03:10, September 19, 2011 (UTC) | |||
Well, I thnk any version of the Master other than the Anthony Ainley version would be smart enough to figure it out (you know, the incarnations that don't wear ridiculous disguises for no particular reason), and we know from ''Logopolis'' that he's not above putting the entire universe on ransom. Besides, it would still be much easier for the Silence to wait for the Master to come back to life again, and then ask him what his name is then to go through this whole thing with the Doctor. Besides, how are they supposed to find out his name if they're going to kill him. Well actually, I guess that it could be that River Song was only pretending to be a good guy in those other episodes so that the Doctor would eventually tell her his name, or they are actually trying to kill him to prevent silence from falling. It still doesn't seem particularly likely though.[[User:Icecreamdif|Icecreamdif]] 04:15, September 19, 2011 (UTC) | Well, I thnk any version of the Master other than the Anthony Ainley version would be smart enough to figure it out (you know, the incarnations that don't wear ridiculous disguises for no particular reason), and we know from ''Logopolis'' that he's not above putting the entire universe on ransom.

<p style="margin-left: 40px; ">Good point; the Silence ought to know their history well enough to be able to figure out that the Master never stays dead more than a decade or two, and often as little as a year or two. But how could they penetrate the cunning ruse of using an anagram or translation of the word "Master" as a pseudonym? --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.19|70.36.140.19]] 04:31, September 19, 2011 (UTC)</p> | |||
