1) Back to The End of Time for a moment.
The drumming is the Master's double heartbeat, and it's driving him insane because the Time Lords made it so. Hmm. Is this the reason even the Delgado/Ainley versions were psychotic? It's not the first time they've tried to use him (The Five Doctors) to fight their battles, and thus it's not the first time that that didn't quite work out either.
2) I can't wait to see what the Grand Moff does with the show.
No, really. Of the six episodes (not counting "Time Crash") he's written, only "The Girl in the Fireplace" didn't really do it for me, and let's face it, that episode was part of Season 28 (Series 2), in which Billie the Dalek Slayer (I love that name) turned into a jealous clingy whiner who got left on a beach. Needless to say, not my favorite season by a long shot.
My first exposure to Mr. Moffat was when I watched the documentary on City of Death, and he said that Douglas Adams was a terrible choice for script editor. At the time, I had the same opinion of Douglas Adams that I currently have of Joss Whedon (see previous posts), so my reaction was "who the hell are you to say this?" Two things then happened. I can't remember which order they happened in, but 1) I saw "The Empty Child" and 2) I realized just how bad the rest of Season 17 was. It's actually amazing that there was a diamond in that rough.
So, onward! Just tell me when the episodes are going to start airing.
