Did someone clear the plot page? i swear i read what happened in the episode here. The image is missing as well. The evil dudeKorak 14:24, 26 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Pretty sure the plot space has always been empty (had a quick check through the history, it doesn't appear to have ever been there)...the image is there, try refreshing the page. --Tangerineduel 14:34, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

crack
anyone else think that this is the first (but unintentional) appearance of the cracks? Darkraider09 20:52, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Random Reference
The President makes a remark about UNIT protocols "adopted in 1968." I'm quite certain this a reference to the 1968 serial The Invasion (TV story) - since it was the first UNIT story broadcast in 1968

Uncredited cast
I've moved the uncredited cast to the talk page until they can be properly sourced (not IMDB). Shambala108 ☎  00:02, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

The description of the Master's reaction to Gallifrey's fate
In the plot summary, the Master's reaction to the learning of Gallifrey's fate is described thusly: "the Master is horrified to learn that Gallifrey is lost, and mercilessly berates the Doctor when he learns how the Time War ended and the Doctor's part in it." I didn't get this impression at all. The Master seems morbidly fascinated, almost envious that the Doctor got to be "like God." Here's the dialogue, taken from http://www.chakoteya.net/doctorwho/29-12.htm:

MASTER: Back home. Where is it, Doctor?

DOCTOR: Gone.

MASTER: How can Gallifrey be gone?

DOCTOR: It burnt.

MASTER: And the Time Lords?

DOCTOR: Dead. And the Daleks, more or less. What happened to you?

MASTER: The Time Lords only resurrected me because they knew I'd be the perfect warrior for a Time War. I was there when the Dalek Emperor took control of the Cruciform. I saw it. I ran. I ran so far. Made myself human so they would never find me, because I was so scared.

DOCTOR: I know.

MASTER: All of them? But not you, which must mean...

DOCTOR: I was the only one who could end it. And I tried. I did. I tried everything.

MASTER: What did it feel like, though? Two almighty civilisations burning. Oh, tell me, how did that feel?

DOCTOR: Stop it!

MASTER: You must have been like God.

DOCTOR: I've been alone ever since. But not anymore. Don't you see? All we've got is each other.

Am I the only one who thinks the description in the summary does not represent the Master's reaction accurately?
