 :So overall there are a lot of reasons.[[Special:Contributions/210.49.167.47|210.49.167.47]] 05:42, September 21, 2011 (UTC)
+::First, your "unfinished business" bit does explain "why the wish", at least in some cases. Good point. But the others, I don't think so.
+::As much as I love Derek Jacobi, I think one episode of Yana was just about the right amount, and in fact I would have been far more disappointed if the Master turned out to be, say, Jack instead. If they'd instead revealed one of the well-known recurring characters to be the Master, that might be a _big_ twist, but it wouldn't be an _interesting_ one. Would you really think, "Oh, so that's why Jack helped save the universe, had sex with everything that moves, set up an organization to protect the Earth from aliens, and in general acted as much unlike the Master as possible for the last three years—because he's the Master! Wow!" No, you'd think, "Why did they take a completely different character, and an interesting one at that, and throw him away for a stupid twist that makes no sense?"
+::If the Silence turn out to be working for the Master, sure, that could be an interesting twist,but that's not an "X is really Y" reveal at all. We haven't met the leader of the Silence and gotten to know him as a recurring companion; we just know the Silence as a shadowy organization with mysterious goals. --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.19|70.36.140.19]] 06:54, September 21, 2011 (UTC)
