The Grumpy Celt said:I think there was some confusion about the Master, the Valeyard and the Doctor. The Master and the Doctor are seperate individuals who are moral and ethical opposites, arch-enimies in fact, opposing each other across all of time and space. Much like Morrus and Pirate Cat. However, The Valeyard and the Doctor are possibly different incarnation of the same individual, the one from the future mad with grief, power and desperation pitting itself againast its own past. Much like Eric Noah and Morrus.

They don't even have to drop it. It just has to be one of those countless things that fans obsess over for decades and then a writer effortlessly renders all the minutae-mongering moot with one throwaway line that explains that either A) things have changed, or B) the original concept was never quite properly explained.delericho said:Actually, I think perhaps it would be no bad thing if they quietly dropped that bit of lore from the canon, as it does rather limit the duration of the show somewhat, especially if actors are going to come and go. Although if they played it right, they could get a really awesome story-arc out of it, so I guess they could go either way...
