Utopia
Eeeee!!!Jack!! The Master!!!! I was on edge for the whole episode, it didn't give you a minute to relax.
Jack appears to have got his flirt back. Perhaps it's something to do with not being in Wales? I am more or less satisfied with the Doctor's explanation—I mean, it's rubbish, but it's something Ten would do I suppose. He does get freaked out so at (other) people getting immortality. I wonder what Martha thinks about the abandonment now, and did she get all the exposition dump over the monitor? LOL at her "Of course she was a blonde" comment. Note that her father left her mother for a blonde. I think the Rose references were fine this week, which may have been me getting some of my Rose love back by ignoring haters and thinking about her saving the world with Mickey and big yellow trucks in the Pete-world.
Useful to have someone around who can't be killed. I wonder what they're going to do with Jack now. The Doctor seemed to imply, nothing because of Rose being stuck in Pete's world, but surely she just had the intention, it was the TARDIS providing the batteries. But then the TARDIS ran away from Jack too, even though she'd had half a hand in making him.
I love that Martha keeps a stethoscope handy, and how creeped out she was by the Doctor's regrowing hand. She's had nothing but shocks this week. Oh, we're back to the unrequited love thing again, zzzz. Poor doomed blue bug with her strange speech pattern. Oh, and she's echoing the Doctor and Martha—the Master and the blue bug. I hope this is not Foreshadowing of Doom that the Doctor's going to cause Martha's death in a fortnight.
YANA, groooan. I take it that his brilliance in making a lash-up spaceship was a bleedover from his Time Lord self. Nice irony, the Doctor going on about how wonderful humans are and it's really SEKRIT TIEM LORD. Oooh that minute just before Yana says 'No rest for the wicked', and the Doctor's just looking and looking at him...
Utopia—good place or no place? I feel that that ship of humans might be on a journey to nowhere. I am not convinced by the escaping the big crunch. I thought at first that they were going with heat death instead, what with all the gloom and no stars etc. I have a feeling that the big crunch might be somewhat warmer. And what's up with the futurekind? Ah, well, I expect we'll find out more, seeing that they're stranded (again) with the futurekind coming in at the door. Those teeth could have been engineered to need no flossing, and apart from that and the throat noises they're human too.
Martha spotting the watch was so startling. I knew about John Simm being the Master but not Derek Jacobi, so that was the moment when I realised Yana=the Master. Goodness, Team TARDIS couldn't have blown the gaff more thouroughly if they'd been trying. Time travel, TARDIS, regeneration, Daleks, although I suppose the Master might have resurfaced anyway when the ship left and Yana would have died. Oooh John Simm cackling around the TARDIS. I wonder was he another childhood fan. Do all regenerations happen standing up now?
The Doctor's face as he realises, first that there's another Time Lord (do they get issued with those watches??), and then who it is—and when he lifts the sonic screwdriver and hurts his TARDIS, although that didn't seem to stop the Master leaving. Bad TARDIS abandoning your Doctor, although he did do it to Jack, so kind of serves him right in a way. And the Master's read at least one point of the Evil Overlord's Guide, the one about not gloatingly telling the hero all your plans, thus giving him the opportunity to escape. I am not sure about the what's my name/the Master exchange, partly because

elerrina_amanya was muttering, 'When are we going to meet the Teacher or the Bus Driver, then?' in the corner. I would have had the Master say who am I? or something instead.Nice the way it all fits with Human Nature and the Face of Bo and why the Doctor didn't know about the Master. And he's off to start his career as a politician—not, wait, plot whole. He's going back to the present day as a Time Lord, somewhere the Doctor's already been, so why he sense him telepathically then? Oh, bother.
I am now afraid that someone's going to die in the finale. Jack can't, the Doctor will just regenerate (although I don't want to see Ten go either), so that leaves Martha, oh dear. I don't want her to die!! How can we wait two weeks to find out the end?!

Oh, that's just part of their little BDSM game ... (I read that little moment as so kinky I was surprised it was allowed pre-watershed. There is so much chemistry between the important people at the moment. I may die of squee by the end of the series.)

I'm assuming that the Master's TARDIS must be concealed around the place somewhere, and thus they will get off the planet. But how on earth will we wait that long?
Hurrah for the Master - though I do hope John Simm isn't going to continue being camp and giddy - it's bad ebough Ten behaving like a toddler, without another hyperactive Timelord about the place...

I kind of like hyper!Master, actually.

So their options are:
a) find the Master's TARDIS;
b) fix Jack's mcguffin that can ditch you in the wrong century; or
c) hitch a ride with the one other time-travelling capable being that we know of in current canon and who, by current canon, might just possibly hate the Master more than it hates the Doctor...
Shall we see Caan appearing to take them back to earth?

My money's on b. The Mcguffin is on the table in Utopia.
