the fourth funniest part of the five doctors is when the high council of gallifrey brings the master into their meeting room and he goes “hehehe, try and force me to do your bidding at your own risk 😈” and then they tell him that someone’s been kidnapping different incarnations of the doctor so could he pretty please maybe go on a rescue mission and he literally says “a universe without the doctor scarcely bears thinking of 🥺”.

then every single version of the doctor that he tries to rescue is just like “¡yeah right, sayonara bitch!” and leaves him for dead.

Am I the only one who hated the timeless child reveal and thought it made no sense? If they needed a reason for the Master to blow up Gallifrey they had plenty:

The Doctor and the Master were both heavily bullied to the point the Master almost died and the Doctor had to kill the bully to save him because he was being drowned

The Master was locked in a room for who knows how long intentionally as a punishment

The Master was taken from his family as a child to look into something that basically gave him schizophrenia

The Master was told to his face he's "diseased" (End of Time) and he's "the worst thing to come out" (The Five Doctors)

He has constantly been the timelord's pawn, giving him the drums was an intentional decision

It's implied he was tortured for his crimes after being trapped on Gallifrey when he sacrificed himself for the 10th doctor in End of Time

I would have LOVED if the Master blew up Gallifrey simply because he thought they deserved it after how they treated him and the Doctor both. What could make him do this could just be the fact he's disgusted by Missy's actions in trying to be better and feels like he has to do the worst thing he can possibly think of and that's what comes to mind. He'd try to convince the Doctor he's right "Remember how they didn't help us? How they took us and made us see things no child should? How we never got our own lives? That'll never happen to anyone ever again now" unhinged speech

Or "With them gone we are truly the last of the time lords, we have a right to the universe more than anyone now and it's ours to shape. Conquer with me and be a just ruler if you're so concerned"

S20 E7 The Five Doctors - Behind the scenes

[haute-pockette]

I love how Two hides and peeks around Three when addressed by what's essentially the god of their people

borrowing from the past: — Fifth Doctor

[giddyaunt425]

Yeah. I'm calling bullcrap on that one, Doctor.

Funniest part of the five doctors actually is that there is a paved road in the death zone leading directly to rassilon’s tomb like a tourist trap

No, not the mind probe!

he’s not feeling so good ☹️

[perilsensitive-sunglasses]

This is an all too familiar scene.

This time, Jamie is the one with his arms open, holding out his hands, while the Doctor is on the brink of tears.

*bonus gifs

Their arm movements are even the same. 😢

Never forget that the Doctor's aunt, High Chancellor Flavia, was named Acting President by the Doctor, who wanted to run away from his own Lord President duties.

She adopted an intelligent cat as an advisor while Acting President. She named this Gallifreyan cat....the Doctor.

So notorious little shit of the family, Time Lord Renegade "the Doctor," ran away from Gallifrey, dumping all of his responsibilities on his aunt, and she responded by replacing him with a pet cat.

Imagine the end of The Five Doctors from the end of the average Gallifreyan's perspective.

It's like if The President of the USA was suddenly revealed to have died on a quest to dig up George Washington's tomb to become the immortal forever-president, then the Vice President shows up, reveals all of this to the world then says "Yeah, this drop out theatre kid that has saved the world for the 3rd time now is president now", then that theatre kid just vanishes off the face of the earth without so much as appearing in a photograph
