Three yelling math problems at Jo made my heart swell. That was a great way to keep her going.

YAY for drawing comparisons between Nine and Three! I do that all the time. XD They're mah preferred slutboi alien teases.

I don't know who I prefer anymore between Simm and Delgado. But they're my two favorites, because they, moreso than the Masters between them (not counting Roberts because I haven't seen the movie yet and his appearance makes me fearful and apprehensive), have senses of humor. I quite like Ainley as well, but he and Jacobi and...the charred Master, are more about being dramatic and bitter. Simm and Delgado have this confident casual gracefulness and are FULL OF WITTICISMS. That's what I really miss about the other Masters. They don't get the funny lines (that flesh out a more specific personality as well) these two did.

Ooh, also, there was a bit near the end of Claws of Axos where it kind of seemed like the Master was a little disappointed to see the Doctor being (he thought) "evil."

Confession: I didn't really start doing that until "Time Crash" aired and half the people in the fandom started referring to Five as Ten's "Doctor". That got me started wondering who Nine's Doctor would be...

And then I realized that I could totally hear Three grumbling "Stupid apes". *g*

I think, for me, the point in Delgado!Master's favor was that, during most of "Last of the Time Lords", Simm!Master just seemed too unbalanced - not so much witty as manic. During "The Sound of Drums", Simm!Master was a lot closer to the calmer, cooler, and sharper Master I liked.

I agree with you about having a sense of humor, though. When the Master loses that, his vendetta against the Doctor and his Evol Plotting sort of takes over his character, and he's just not as interesting.

And I loved the Master's reaction to the Doctor 'abandoning' UNIT. That look on his face...it wasn't so much "Huzzah, I win!" as "Wait, what?"

Nine also gets compared to Four a lot, which I also understand. But like...there's just so much of a link between the Three and Nine's constantly clear contempt for everyone around them. XD

Four gets that way too, but Three never ever leaves it.

You know, I didn't see Four in Nine very much until someone else pointed it out. I mean, he did the Crazy Grin and the "I'm going to act clueless but I'm really Up To Something", but not as often as he complained about everyone but him being an idiot.

Three's personality with Four-ish mannerisms. Hmm.

Four and Nine kind of share a similar kind of icy sarcasm in the face of what they perceive as immorality.
