Master Mind
Ever since I was a child. I looked into the vortex. That's when it chose me. The drumming, the call to war. Can't you hear it? Listen, it's there now. Right now. Tell me you can hear it, Doctor. Tell me.
It's only you.
The Master hears the sound of drums.
In his head.
Pounding, pounding, pounding.
Calling him to war.
To fight the whole universe.
Because the drums. never. stop.
And so neither does he.
The Doctor hears the sound of cries.
In his head.
Pleading, pleading, pleading.
Calling him to help.
To save the whole universe.
Because the cries. never. stop.
And so neither does he.
I watched the last three episodes of season three recently and started thinking about how similar the Master and the Doctor are. Two sides of the same coin...and I wondered if the Master heard the sound of drums, what would the Doctor hear?
