** Part two is, between the return of [[spoiler:the Time Lords]] and the Doctor's angst about it and his impending death, almost ''entirely'' filled with Ho Yay goodness. Their back and forth banter while the Doctor is locked in what can only be described as [[BoundAndGagged a bondage chair]], the Master taking the Doctor's favourite species and [[spoiler:turning them into copies of himself]] (showing he's still jealous), the Doctor seriously contemplating whether killing the Master is worth saving everyone (which Wilf [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out on]]), and the Master's final act being [[spoiler:to sacrifice himself to save the Doctor]]. This exchange says it all:
--->'''Master''': ''[shaking his head as his eyes fill with tears]'' Don't know what I'd be without that noise.\\
'''Doctor''': I wonder what I'd be without you.\\
'''Master''': ''[tearfully]'' Yeah.

** Rassilon and Time Lords crossed this when they put sound of drums in Master in order to make him a beacon out of time loop during the Time War, driving him insane. If not for Rassilon, there would probably be no Master.
*** More than a few Expanded Universe novels and audio dramas have also tried to answer the same question of why is the Master the way he is. This includes (but is not limited to) "The Dark Path", "Harvest of Time", and the Big Finish audio drama "[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho049Master Master]]". All three mediums are supposed to be in the same continuity so all of them are canon. No wonder the Master is so messed up.

Added DiffLines:
* NarmCharm: Among the terrifying sounding entities that the Doctor lists as having been part of the Time War are the Could-Have-Been King with his army of Meanwhiles and Never-Weres. Despite their somewhat mundane and nonsensical names, the Doctor's delivery of the names among the others and their context of the escalation of the Time War sells them as threatening.

* EndingFatigue: The Doctor has an incredibly drawn out regeneration. Instead of regenerating right away after absorbing all the radiation, Ten uses the time he has left to go around revisiting every single one of his former companions gets this criticism.in a sequence that takes up nearly half the episode.
* EvilIsCool: Even detractors will admit Timothy Dalton does an excellent job portraying Rassilon and making him feel intimidating and serious as an antagonist in an episode otherwise filled with goofy shenanigans.

Added DiffLines:
** Considering the Doctor's conflicting feelings regarding his people and trauma from how he was forced to end the Time War, you would expect him and Rassilon to have a ''lot'' more to say to each other regarding the latter's plan to save the Time Lords.
