So, already they've rewritten the end of Torchwood.

The Master is reborn. I'm not sure whether to be happy or not with that.

Yes! Finally, The Master returns. Played out just as I expected. Great ending.

OK, Stark, you were right; UNIT need no introduction :)

Hmmm. One would have thought The TARDIS would have better security but not against Timelords I supposes.

It was alright, the Ecclestion/Tennant parrallel in the Master's regeneration was good. I still don't really see Sam Tyler as a villian though. Surely Derek Jaccobi could have stuck arounda bit longer?

The way it ended, I'm sure the TARDIS materialised inside Torchwood

I loved hearing Anthony Ainleys chuckle coming from the watch (or if it wasn't Ainley, then Jacobis).

I just loved the way he made The Doctor call him Master.

Maybe 2.

And for the record, my bet of how they get out of this is the Doctor repairing Jack's time vortex thing.

True, but 've limited space & I'll have to go with someone who was the Master for more than 5 minutes. Awesome as Jacobi was.

Anyway was the Master supposed to be totally and utterly dead by the end of his last appearence? I wonder how they'll explain his re-appearence, though judging by the Daleks tha kinda thing isn't their strong point.

While your at it, you may want to consider a new location as well.

I was thinking they find the Master's TARDIS, but I admit I didn't think that plan through very well.

I'm indestructable the whole universe knows that...

I suppose I'll have to keep the same sig for a couple of weeks, any ideas on a new non-spoiler location?

You'd be better waiting until the end of the series anyway; If you change it now, you'll only need to change it again next week :)

What other than the Master returns via chameleon arch (which incidently was very surprising & cool) - besides that nothing else matters.

The only flaw - and it's a mind-numbingly tiddly one - is that the entire Utopia Project was just a McGuffin. Still an excellent episode.
