[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 3610296, member: 18280"] No. When Carrey first showed up in the classic Animated-series style Riddler outfit, I could see that he could have been a [i]great[/i] Riddler. Then they just let him play Jim Carrey instead, and it sucked. Worse, I couldn't always tell which side of Two Face was the bad one until he turned. :lol: The Simms Master strikes me differently than he strikes you (obviously). What I see is a Master that is truly in control (or thinks he is) and enjoying it. He enjoys playing with his victims. It adds to his cruelty. For instance, it is clear that the perception filter doesn't work on him, yet he allows the Doctor to try to creep up behind him [i]becasue it amuses him to do so[/i] and then moves without letting the Doctor know why. He parades Martha's family at the airport because [i]he knows she is watching[/i]. He knows exactly what the Doctor is going to do, long before the Doctor does. Now, I think that the Doctor has accounted for this. He knew that the Master could see him, and he knew that the key thing would never work. That was never his plan. What he needs to know is what the aliens really are in order to do whatever it is he's going to do. It's like a serious chess game where the real question is, which player can see farther ahead? Of course, that's not going to make everyone like the new Master, and not everyone is going to see this story in that light. I just hope they don't flub it (from my point of view) in the final episode. [/QUOTE]
