Other than the ability to climb out of the same vagina as Julia Roberts, what skillz does the Master have that the Doctor does not?

He has a Tissue Compression Eliminator instead of a Sonic Screwdriver. The Chameleon Circuit of his TARDIS was still functioning properly when last seen. He is a skilled hypnotist. He is not weakened by concern for others. He has been known to inhabit and take control of the bodies of others since running out of regenerations (in which sense it might not be correct to refer to him as a Time Lord any more).

Yes. Genius.

Not the most subtle in its references (the bassline from the Bond theme in the background music, the resurrected man in the church). But all around, a great episode.

As to the over-use of the sonic screwdriver, that's why they wrote it out originally; it was a cheap Deus Ex for the writers, literally a Get Out Of Jail Free card, and put to too many silly uses that then prove trouble for continuity (the sonic screwdriver did X in episode Y and so why can't he do it now?). This series has shown a few minor signs of falling back into that trap...

I thought that the main reason for getting rid of the Screwdriver was that it hindered writers' attempts to pad stories by imprisoning the Doctor in numerous places.

Many writers truly loathed the necessity of creating a cliffhanger every twenty-odd minutes.

The finger tapping shot in the trailer is probably the scariest thing I've seen lately. 8O

Nope. That has a different beat.

A had a looky at the trailer link HGFB provided a couple of pages ago, and then came across this little gem:

Some very clever editing :)

Very nice but I prefer the second part, particularly the use of the Rose music.

I wonder if we're going to get any psycho-kinetic energy this series?

It's all about trying to work out what the fuck is going on.

Some entries on the Vote Saxon Cymru site might suggest so but others lead to different suspicions. Mr Saxon's interest in the Large Hadron Collider seems especially prominent to me.

Those were excellent youtube videos. Loved the Tripods and the rock throwing. The sneaky series three spoiler at the end was very funny :)
