More Drums talk.

I'm still not really here. Won't be for several hours yet so haven't responded to all comments or read really anyone else's thoughts yet. But had a couple of additional thoughts:

• I am really obsessed with the Master and Lucy at the moment. The Master *still* could have done his freaky hypnosis thing he does so well on Lucy. So it's possible she could be this psychotic groupie wife because of something he did to her. But on the other hand, he could have actually found this soul-mate, so to speak. I'm *really* wondering - is the Master really in love with her? Is he just using her since politicians needs spouses? Obsessed, I tell you! I need Master/Lucy details!
  
  
• I'm kinda blanking - did we get an idea of who these ball-things were? I'm wondering if they're some sort of bastardized Gallifreyans. Just like the Emperor of the Daleks made mutant Daleks, the Master's gone and made mutant Gallifreyans?
  
  
• I just cannot shake the whole Bad Wolf thing - that it's popped up a couple of time in S3 and in Torchwood. And Jack was saying how he's had a feeling he's been kept alive for a reason. You know how the Master was saying he was setting a trap for the Doctor? Well, what if there was a trap inside the trap? Remember Tooth & Claw? Queen Vic's hubby put things into motion before his death. He wasn't actually involved in the springing of the trap, but... What if Vortex!Rose laid a trap for the Master? She wouldn't be involved in the springing of the trap (because, really, what could Rose herself do in this showdown?), but Bad Wolf put things into motion. *Including* making Jack immortal. Like the Doctor told the Queen - your husband was protecting you from beyond the grave. So perhaps we'll see Rose protecting the Doctor from beyond the grave in a manner of speaking.
