Oh this was a great, FANTASTIC episode, it's already looking like the best season finale ever...not just Doctor Who, but for every show in existence. John Simm's Master was hilarious, but at the same time had a "very real" sense of madness and evilness (so, does this mean he's had that drumming all of his lifes, even in his Roger Delgado incarnation?). I loved how unbelievably uncaring he was towards anything that got in his way. And the way he used the Tardis, horrible...WHICH WAS BRILLIANT!!!

He's almost psychopathically mad, but has a boyish sort of quality to him as well. Pete compared him to the Fourth Doctor above, and I can see that. Overall, I think it's the right quality for a 2007 Master.

HE EVEN HAD JELLY BABIES!!!! Again,

. I was so shocked when I saw him age the Doctor 130 years, my only problem with that is that the 4th Doctor was aged in a similar way in "The Leasure Hive", and he looked like a similar age as the "aged" 10th Doctor, yet the 4th was apparently aged by around 450 years.
So far, this is looking set to be the best ever Doctor Who serial, and I'm even counting the classic series. Here's hoping that next weeks gripping finale is exactly that, gripping.
