* AxCrazy: The Masters, obviously. In the end their motivation for undoing the Eleven's plan is because they rather like killing people, and a universe of eternally regenerating would-be victims takes all the fun out of everything.

** In part 2, Liv has the Master at gunpoint, and he figures she won't shoot. However, after what happened in "Whisper" and "Planet of Dust", she's much more willing to shoot.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: At the very end the "Deathworm" Master is uncertain about messing with the laws of time to revive his future self. The War Master figures it's not a problem.



* ForTheEvulz: The War Master shoots Liv to see whether she'll regenerate. She notes that he shot her ''twice'', before he knew about the regeneration.

Added DiffLines:

* IHatePastMe: The War Master regards "Deathworm" Master as an idiot.
* IsThisThingOn: Missy, trying to contact the Eleven, spends several seconds wondering whether the line's open, and probably would've gone on for longer if he hadn't interrupted.


Added DiffLines:

* PassThePopcorn: As the Eleven's plans go belly-up, the Masters watch. Missy has somehow acquired popcorn from somewhere.

* DistractedByTheSexy: Missy is preoccupied with how attractive the Eric Roberts Master is to the point that both he and the War Master have to threaten to kill her so that she'll pay attention to their plan. She pouts, rather.

Liv, understandably, is absolutely horrified by the idea.

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Basically applies as the Doctor, his companions and the Masters have to stop the Eleven's plan to give the entire universe the ability to perpetually regenerate, but this is mostly because the universe will become new food sources for the Ravenous if they aren't returned to normal (although the Masters muse that they would lose the ability to threaten anyone if nobody could die).

* AndThisIsFor: When the three Masters shoot the Eleven. Missy admits hers is ForTheEvulz.
* BackForTheDead: At the very end, the Burned Master is resurrected by his future selves so he can regenerate. He gets about one sentence in before he goes.



* ContinuityNod:
** Missy shrugs off questions about what happened to the future Earth because it's had more than a few apocalypses (and she notes some of them have even cancelled others out).
** On how to deal with the timeline problems, Missy notes that she nicked a means of LaserGuidedAmnesia off of River during their encounter.



* DistractedByMyOwnSexy: Missy freely admits she's spent the odd occasion just staring at herself all day in the mirror.



* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Helen, in a sense. She's from the 1960s, so when asked to identify a large tower in London can only identify the BT Tower, which in her time was only just built. Missy rattles off some that a 21st century person would recognise, like the Gherkin.
* ForTheEvulz: The War Master shoots Liv to see whether she'll regenerate. She notes that he shot her ''twice'', before he knew about the regeneration.



* {{Handwave}}: At the end, the War Master acknowledges the usual threat of temporal paradoxes probably aren't an issue for him, given as he comes from the TimeCrash that is the Last Great Time War.



* ShooTheDog: Before heading into the Before Times of Gallifrey, the Doctor leaves Liv behind... which inadvertently leaves her to meet the Master.
* ShoutOut: Missy rattles off a few, including referring to the Eleven as "[[Series/ThatMitchellAndWebbLook Numberwang]]".



* SuspectIsHatless:
** When Liv escapes the clutches of the War Master (whom the Eighth Doctor hasn't met yet), the Doctor asks her to describe him so they can pinpoint which incarnation they're dealing with. He notes her (accurate) summary of "bearded, urbane and a bit sadistic" doesn't really narrow it down much.

* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: After the death of the Burned Master at the hands of the Ravenous, The Doctor strongly admonishes Liv for making flippant remarks about him. No matter what The Master had done, The Doctor still has a lot of respect for his oldest friend in the universe.

In the conclusion to the ''Ravenous'' series, the Doctor, Liv and Helen have to stop the new alliance between the Eleven and the Ravenous turning the entire universe into the Ravenous' feeding ground, and their only assistance is in the form of three different Masters and an ancient Gallifreyan scientist.

!! Tropes

* BrokenPedestal: Basically defied; while the Doctor has grown used to Time Lord legends like Rassilon and Omega letting him down when he meets them, [[spoiler:Artron proves to be a genuinely good man who ultimately sacrifices his life to undo his mistake]].
* DisabilityImmunity: As well as the Eleven's established immunity to the Ravenous due to his condition, the "Deathworm" Master is also immune as his current state, stuck in a stolen human body, has tainted any remaining regeneration energy so that the Ravenous find him unpalatable.
* HelpYourselfInTheFuture: For the "Deathworm" Master, anyway; the audio ends with him [[spoiler:assisting the War Master and Missy in stopping the Ravenous, and he later directly accompanies them as they give the "Burnt Master"- established as the immediate future self of the "Deathworm" Master- a new regeneration cycle

* MistakenForSpecialGuest:
** Liv initially assumes that the War Master is a Time Lord agent responding to her distress call, unaware that she's currently on a Time Lord space station that the Master claimed for himself.
** Learning that the Master is working with a Time Lady, the Doctor assumes that the female is the Rani rather than realising that she's the Master's future self.
