* KarmicOverkill: While the Master is a very bad person, and while he did willingly choose to work with the Nazis, the Doctor disabling his perception filter to expose him as nonwhite to the Nazis right before turning him over to them comes across as a needlessly mean-spirited way to defeat him, especially since she had already framed him as an Allied spy beforehand and didn't even need to do that.

Deciding that human life was pointless, Barton allied with the Master and the interdimensional beings known as the [[EldritchAbomination Kasaavin]]. Barton experimented with overwriting the DNA of several spies as well as his own mother before using his technology to unleash the Kasaavin across the planet, with the goal of killing off humanity so that [[WetwareCPU their DNA can act as storage]] for the Kasaavin presence.

** The new Master's villainy and more Saxon-like behaviour in contrast to how previous Master, Missy, was by the time of her last episode, sparked theories that he's actually a pre-Missy incarnation from some earlier point in the Master's timeline. Some of the theories even postulate that he might be an incarnation between Saxon and Missy (though a video put on the show's Website/YouTube channel, presented by Dhawan, seemingly confirms that Saxon regenerated into Missy and highly implies Missy regenerated into O). If the Spy Master indeed comes before Missy, however, it adds an extra layer to Missy saying "Welcome to the sisterhood!" since she would know that the Doctor's next incarnation is female.
** The Master mentioning the founders of Gallifrey and a secret that the Doctor doesn't know made many fans immediately suspect that the Cartmel Masterplan might finally happen on TV.

** Gallifrey being destroyed for good, and off-screen to boot, means that the only payoff of the MilestoneCelebration "The Day of the Doctor"'s bringing it back was the final stretch of Series 9, in which the Doctor's return to his homeworld and people ended up playing second fiddle to the extended dénouement of his and Clara Oswald's relationship. The distruction of Gallifrey also ended up being a non-factor in the Timeless Child MythArc of the series, which some viewers felt made it an even ''more'' wasted opportunity since we don't get to see the Time Lords react to the Doctor being their progenitor, and played no part in either Flux or the 2022 specials that ended Chibnall and Whittaker's time on the show.

It doesn't help that Ryan's assertion that they've already asked the Doctor about her past a couple of times isn't backed up by the events shown in the previous series, making this come off as less of a WhatTheHellHero moment and more of a ConflictBall just to start drama.
