Genocide
Okay, Whovians, you have questions about the Master taking responsibility for the destruction of Gallifrey. It raises the question of why destroy the planet and commit genocide? Well, according to this article, fans are given a reason.
Fans remember that Russell Davies placed Gallifrey in a time lock. By placing Gallifrey in the timelock, Gallifrey is safe and will not be destroyed. Then on the Day of The Doctor, fans see the Doctor walk away from destroying Gallifrey and his people. So, fans believe Gallifrey is fine. Of course, if the Doctor does what he wants, he is the one to commit genocide. But in the end, he doesn’t.
So, to make things interesting, fans now have a twist to the plot. Who would believe the Master is responsible for the destruction of Gallifrey? Most know he is capable as well as ruthless enough to go through with it. So, is it too far fetched to the Master do this? Of course, not, every time fans see him, he leaves a trail of dead bodies and much more.
Did he destroy Gallifrey because of a revelation about the timeless child? Well, Thomas Bacon of ScreenRant believes it to be the reason. There are details fans need before making a judgment. Yeah, the Master is evil, but does he have the means to do this? Does this happen not only because of the secret of the timeless child but also because of the drums?
Fans have questions and want answers, but how long will they wait before getting them? Who knows when Chibnall and his team will bring the fans answeres. Does what happened in the latest episode have anything to do with the fall of Gallifrey? See, it all may be ties together, but fans will have to wait and see.
At the moment, fans can only speculate as to the reason Chibnall chose the direction he took. Hopefully, in the end, it is worth it. Fans request is don’t draw this out.
