Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Jon, I remember Kevin's link like you do. I think Stark's interest in his wellbeing was evident before that, and is sincere.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Why would the TARDIS reject Jack when it and Rose made him what he is in the first place?

My own theory is that the TARDIS provided the power, Rose absorbed it and used it. Basically control was in Rose's hands. Maybe the TARDIS just didn't much like what Rose had done with the power in that specific instant.

I wish now that I hadn't been spoiled for the Master's return, because if I'd seen Derek Jacobi with that identical pocketwatch without prior knowledge I'd have assumed that he was a future incarnation of the Doctor. The reveal would have been much more shocking and fun.

and as I was unspoiled, it was!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I was really hoping Derek would be a new character and stick around for awhile.

Me too -- he's such a good actor! I suppose it was fun all around to get somebody of his caliber to guest-star.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

He did do the voice of the Master for those animated web adventures with Richard E. Grant as the Doctor. But I agree, it would have been nice to have a few episodes with Jacobi in the role before making him regenerate.

Also, between this and Underworld Evolution I am kind of surprised to find that Jacobi pushes back the frontier of actors I find hot by nearly two decades. I can't think of anyone else my dad's age that I think that of.

I've been Derek Jacobi's bitch since I, Claudius - love, love, love him!

right now I'm watching the season 2 Dr Who with Sarah Jane Smith AIFG!! the way Tennant looked at her with such love and awe when they met, and bonus ASH is in this ep, too!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

New episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures air in the UK starting Monday.

Ditto.
