All monsters are not villains, but all villains are monsters.<\/p>\n
But my favorite villain is also a monster of sorts. And that would be the Master\/Missy, the Doctor’s arch-nemesis.\u00a0 Or one of them anyway.<\/p>\n
One reason why I like him\/her is that he is a Time Lord like the Doctor, just works on the opposite side of the moral spectrum.\u00a0 When they were children, they used to be bet friends until he turned dark.\u00a0 And also he was originally inspired by Professor Moriarty from the Sherlock Holmes stories.\u00a0 Being a Sherlockian as long as a Whovian, I found that really interesting.<\/p>\n

There are 3 versions of the Master that I really like.\u00a0 There’s the original Roger Delgado who played opposite Jon Pertwee’s 3rd Doctor. He did a fantastic job setting up the basis of who the Master was and how he knew the Doctor.\u00a0 When Delgado tragically died, Pertwee said he didn’t want to be on the show anymore because of the close friendship he had with Delgado.<\/p>\n
Then there is Anthony Ainley’s Master, who is the one I ![\"Anthony](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calverosdepot.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Anthony-Ainley-as-The-Master.jpg?resize=254%2C199\")
remember most.\u00a0 He played along side the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Doctor (well, including The Five Doctors, he also was with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd).\u00a0 Unlike the Doctors, his Master was similar to Delgado’s Master, but no less awesome.<\/p>\n
Then there’s Missy, who was a mystery when she first was mentioned in The Bells of Saint John (“the woman in the shop”),\u00a0 then later we see her throughout Series 8 but not know who she is.\u00a0 Then at the end of Dark Water, she tells the Doctor who she is<\/p>\n
