[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Exactly. Likewise, we'll probably get only a cursory explanation for Martha (and maybe Jack, who likely knew the Master while he was frequently pestering the Third Doctor in the 1970s) but very little detail. Like the Time War, how he got out will probably never be explained in full, or in any context which would require the viewer to see anything besides the three years of the current show. However, RTD has been VERY respectful of the original series, and whatever reason he comes up with will doubtless jive SOMEHOW with what has gone before. And Jack! Poor guy, he gets stuck in the 19th century and has to sex his way through more than a century to meet up with a version of the Doctor that is contemporary to his current timeline. This basically confirms the notion that he must know several incarnations of the Doctor, and his related adventures. He was very likely right under the ninth Doctor, Rose, Mickey AND HIMSELF when Blon Slitheen tried to nuke Cardiff, and was powerless to do anything even though he knew it would turn out okay. They even threw in a reference to Rose being officially dead after the Battle of Canary Wharf. And speaking of Rose, even Martha is now showing increased annoyance at the Docor constantly going on about her, often at Martha's expense. We don't yet know whether Martha will stay or not after this season (we'll know for sure when series four starts shooting and the spoiler reports start coming in), but the writers are acknowledging that the Doctor's comparisons of Rose to Martha are becoming a charcacter issue that will have to be resolved. I'm hoping that they'll do so in the finale, and that Martha will accept that the Doctor will never feel for her the way she does for him. Next week looks to be an A/B story episode, with the main plot following the new Master's rise to power, and the the secondary tale of Doc & co. finding their way back home. I'm plenty certain that by the end of the episode, we'll have gotten over Jacobi's fantastic portrayal of the Master and fallen in love with Simm's edition. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
