I really don't know why I'm not asleep...

clocketpatchTurkey IS supposed to make you sleepy right? Not wired? Must've been the Master!crack I just witnessed... oh... seven hours ago?!?? And I STILL can't stop laughing at that ending. I've decided that it must be brilliant, just for that reason and that reason alone.

There are no spoilers there. See. No spoilers.
There is some spoileriness under the cut. Anyways, I was thinking this all through the episode, and then forgot to put it in the reaction post:
1. So, the Time War never really ended, because you can't end time. You can just lock bits of it away. That's the assumption I'm going on anyways
2. The Time Lords are not stupid. Possibly slightly less benevolent than the Doctor has been retconning himself to believe, but not stupid.
3. They knew that the Master wasn't going to do what they wanted when they brought him back. They didn't resurrect him because he was the perfect warrior... they resurrected him because he was the perfect survivor. They knew he would run. In fact, I think they were counting on it.
4. Gallifrey is inside the Master's head.

Also, just wanted to say again, for the record, if Wilf turns about to be a Time Lord, I've been predicting this since pre-series 4. Granted, I've been saying the same about Donna, and that's seeming less likely to happen now... but hey, gotta get my kicks somewhere.
I'm still divided about the war that passed him by though. It was heavily implied in Turn Left that he'd spent time in a POW camp. Either he's fob-watched himself the edited highlights of his Time Lord life or something else is going on and he's still just as mortal and human as they come. Either way, WILF!
(I'm &*%$ing terrified that he's going to turn out to be evil!Dalton!Time Lord somehow. Or that he ends up killing the Doctor. Or both.)
Meep.
