Does anyone else think we're going to get a ( possible part two spoiler )

I'm not sure whether we'll get a trial, but there's an easy way to handle the old companion visits without additional handwaving: they occur anytime in the past before everyone gets turned into the Master. It would force the Doctor to cross his own timeline, I suppose, but that should be okay as long as he isn't doing much other than being emo from a distance.

I could do without that, it's a bit overly literal. But it's probably what's going to happen knowing RTD.

If they do, I really hope the Doctor goes "What, this shit again? Fuck you and your silly hats." ...In, you know, a Doctory way.

Then Romana comes and saves him.

LOL.

(The repetitiveness is an issue looking at Who as a whole but within new Who it's a new thing. And IIRC at one point there were spoilers that the Shadow Proclamation were going to do something similar, but that never came to anything.)

It really hasn't happened that much, but I'm sure the Doctor got tired of it.

That could've been neat. It bugs me that the SP was built up so much, and then we saw them for a few minutes and they didn't do much.

I think that there won't be anything too complicated in part two, to make space for the thirty minutes of close-ups of people sobbing under maudlin Murray Gold music.

But making space for that is why it's 75 minutes, surely?

A trial would put the Dalton voice overs into context. Perhaps he's prosecuting the Doctor for whatever Ten did before his regeneration.

I don't think TARDIS travel protects companions. The Master was in Wilf's head, until he stepped into the glass box.

Yes. I specifically think that both the Doctor AND the Master are going to be called up on trial for various causes. I don't think it has anything to do with the Master Race story, as I think that'll be over within fifteen or twenty minutes.

I think they're gonna be brought up on some sort of war crimes tribunal. I have no idea what happens to the Master, except that I think he obviously survives. The Doctor, I think, gets exiled to a parallel universe, except that he gets to visit four different companions to say his goodbyes somehow. Maybe because the female Time Lady who I think is Romana intervenes.

Mainly I don't think the companion scenes can be from a trial, as we know the setting details for them and I don't think too many of them can be easily fit into gap adventures.
