I love how Simm says “You would never be so self-destructive. Then again, neither would I.”

And not even two episodes later they both kill each other.

"They're not going to THINK like me. They're going to BECOME me" - The Master, 2010
"I'm not going to THINK like the Doctor. I'm going to BECOME the Doctor" - The Master, 2022

"Where I stand is where I fall", That scene was so well executed only made better by the amazing acting of those three. It gives you the want and need to help people. When I first saw this scene I was so in love. These three actors have my eternal gratitude. And Peter's speech gets my respect because of how it inspires you to do what's right.

It's a Shame that The Eleventh Doctor never got to Encounter The Master during his tenure

[liamroberts]

I just realised something: Technically, the Master has heard that kindness speech from the Doctor twice. First as "Saxon/Mr. Razor", where he practically laughs in his face, and, after possibly many hundreds of years since then, heard it once more as Missy, standing next to her arguably more evil and apathetic younger incarnation.

[rassilontdavros]

The Spy Master gives me such conflicting feelings. On the one hand, I hated that the character was reverted to pure evil without any acknowledgement of the character development their last incarnation had gone through. But on the other hand, I really enjoy the way Sacha Dhawan _plays_ the villainous character he's been given.

[Jenamphetamne]

It's such a shame that Missy's arc was undone and ignored. The Master became so much more conflicted and interesting only for none of it to matter when they showed up again : (

[echolightning]

Being a fan of the master is so hard. Having to lose them time and time again. Then once you believe they're gone for good bang they're back when you least expect it

23:08 love Missy's little gasp after she reveals she is the master.

[jillboler]

John Simm in series 10 was brilliant when he return after series 3 and two part special he blows my mind away.

[velocichungus]

The Master will always be one of the best Who antagonists on the show. I’d recommend everyone to listen to the Big Finish audiobooks for some more of them.

[friendlyotaku]

I love how you didn't call this "Best Moments" but ICONIC moments and you are right to do so because the Master IS Iconic!

[drewcampbell]

Missy easily the best. No other actor got so much to work with, and Michelle Gomez made it even better. Her portrayal was full of nuance, mischief and malevolence, but that look she gives to Capaldi after his "stand with me" speech is just heartbreaking. Who ever thought we'd get that from the Master?

[LloydEWatson]

Roger Delgado will always be THE Master. Him and Jon Pertwee were brilliant together. Especially during the sword fight in The Sea Devils ⚔️

[SerathDarklands]

If you look closely at the wave that goes out at 19:06, you can actually see that it's made up of loose images of the Master's face. I never noticed that before, and I've watched the End of Time at least five or six times.

[philosophicalfranklin]

I know I’m gonna get some hate for this, but I sorta understand why the Master destroyed Gallifrey. He went crazy because a signal they placed in his head for centuries, resurrected him only to fight in the biggest war ever, now we find out that everything he knew about himself was a lie, and that he is a living product of his oldest, greatest enemy. All that rage and pain and madness, would make anyone do anything.

[TheFallofTheEleventh]

3:13 Love how over the top the 3rd Doctor was.

[spockman]

Got to say, Missy's my favorite version out of nuwho. Love the others, but I think they can both go too over the top sometimes, whereas Missy I think is the right amount of silly yet evil. And I love her relationship with twelve because I think the mutual respect and years of complex history highlighted between them more than other Doctor/Master relationships. Ten and Simms was more a connection as being the last timelords and outcasts in their society, while thirteen and Dhawan's was full on antogonistic. But with Twelve and Missy it really felt like they were simultaneously best friends and worst enemies. That's just my opinion tho, like I said, I think all nuwho masters have their strengths and weaknesses.

[nickfarmer]

One of my favourite Delgado moments is a quiet one from "The Sea Devils". He's watching the Clangers while incarcerated. Acts surprised when a guard tells him it's not real, but when he leans forward to turn the TV off, his eyeroll speaks volumes.

[jessbelen]

I love every Master ever but Sacha and Delgado are another level.
