Specifically, the words of the Face of Boe.As we all know, the Face's last words to the Doctor were "You are not alone." Now, there is speculation that the Master will be returning (possibly played by John Simm), which is awesome, as I love the character and John Simm is a great actor.I'd be very disappointed, however, if it turns out that that is what the Face of Boe was referring to. For one thing, I'd hate to think that his last words (presumably of comfort) to the Doctor were some kind of cryptic warning, and for another, if that's the case- then why didn't he warn the Doctor back in Season 1, you know- give him more of a heads up? As cool as it would be to see the return of the Master, it just kind of rubs me the wrong way that the only reason he's "not alone" is due to having a megalomaniacal nemesis of his race still kicking around out there.So I got to thinking- what if the Face's last words were of comfort? That there are other survivors of Gallifrey out there that he was referring to in his words to the Doctor. That the first of them happens to be the Master that the Doctor encounters is just happenstance (or design, depending on the Master's intentions), but that in the exchange between the Doctor and the Master it comes out that there are others, and now the Doctor has hope that he can find them, and perhaps restore his people once more?Edit: Fixed typo in title - Eridanis</blockquote>
