Howling:Peter capaldi era story arc

What do you think the story arcs for series 8 and beyond will be? and where do you think the story arc will be heading now the 50th is over (unsigned)

I think we'll probably be seeing The Master again soon. So far as I remember, since the Sixth Doctor era there has been a pattern of every other incaranation encountering The Master so Moffat will probably have him meeet Capaldi at some point. 87.102.91.126talk to me 17:49, December 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Would the Master be John Simm or a new guy (somehow…)? —BioniclesaurKing4t2 - "Hello, I'm the Doctor. Basically, . . . run." 21:23, December 30, 2013 (UTC)

I think the former then the latter. My guess is that we'll see John Simm's Master one last time for his regeneration into the new Master. In fact, that could happen in a prequel to the episode where Capaldi's Doctor encounters the new Master. Or it could happen in the opening scene of that episode. 87.102.91.126talk to me 14:07, December 31, 2013 (UTC)

7th encountered the Master in Survival. 72.177.169.170talk to me 12:04, January 4, 2014 (UTC)

It took me a while to realise you were talking about my December 29th post but I finally got it. As for what you said, oh well, it doesn't make much difference because I still think we're due an appearance of The Master. 87.102.91.126talk to me 11:11, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

Entirely plausible: The End of Time puts the Master on Gallifrey on the last day of the Time War 72.177.169.170talk to me 20:56, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

72: What's interesting about that is that The Master knows how the Time War plays out, so he probably knows a possible escape. Maybe he could find a way on board the Dalek ship that survives the War? 87.102.91.126talk to me 11:41, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

87: That might not be entirely necessary. After all, at this point he doesn't exactly have to escape a doomed planet as much as find a way back to the correct reality, or simply extend his own lifespan (again) & wait it out. The only question would be what he'd be doing to pass the time on an isolated planet with depleted military power, especially since he just finished raging on the most powerful being in the planet's political structure. 72.177.169.170talk to me 12:03, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

72: The Master was indeed last seen "raging on the most powerful being in the planet's political structure" but, on the other hand, that "most powerful being" had just been responsible for a really colossal failure. What's more, he was defeated by two renegades who had minimal resources, while Rassilon had almost the whole of Gallifrey behind him. Leading your people to ignominious defeat has never been a good way to remain in power. --89.243.204.145talk to me 22:42, January 24, 2014 (UTC)
