Talk:The Deadly Assassin (TV story)

Indecision
I'm not sure which of the images below is best to illustrate this story:

If you preview the one with Master, it does look good, but I'm not sure if it's as important in the context of the story as the assassination. If anyone has an opinion on this, or just wants to make the switch, go ahead.-- 21:23, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

I think the gunsight on the President summarises the story perfectly. --Revan\Talk 21:25, September 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * The President in the gun sights, definitely.
 * The Master hugging the Eye of Harmony only makes sense if you've seen the story, and even then it's a small part of it. --Tangerineduel / talk 08:34, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Time Lord names
The "Story Notes" section says: It's true that this is the first time we see "rank-and-file Time Lords" with names, but what about Omega? Sure, Omega (audio story) says that it was a nickname, but I don't think there's anything in The Three Doctors to suggest that it wasn't his actual name. And what's ambiguous about Morbius' name? —Josiah Rowe talk to me 02:37, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * This story establishes that Time Lords do sometimes use proper names on their homeworld (previous uses have either been aliases, or of ambiguous origin such as Morbius; and rank-and-file Time Lords seen in stories like TV: The War Games and The Three Doctors had gone unnamed).
 * Why was this never answered? --DCLM ☎  21:24, February 25, 2017 (UTC)

Knowledge of the Master
Why don't any of the Time Lords, except those in league with him and the Doctor, know about the Master in this story? Additionally why is there no recollection of him in the files? The Time Lords were the ones who warned the Doctor of him when he came to Earth. --DCLM ☎  21:24, February 25, 2017 (UTC)

Released - Or Escaped?
"It was released as issue 52 of The Deadly Assassin". This doesn't sound right.165.225.76.164talk to me 16:43, May 3, 2018 (UTC)
