Where's my Master, pretty please?

About a million years ago I promised
mergatrude I'd do a Simm!Master picspam. I started going through and collecting pics, and it quickly got out of control. And then I forgot all about it.
Fast forward several months, and I've had too much sugar and can't get to sleep. So I finished it off.

What is it about him? Is it the smile? The aftershave? The genocide? The slash potential that gives new meaning to the words 'practically canon'?
The picspam quickly became a two-parter. So here is my favourite psychotic dictator, part one. 18 pics. Some pics are large and will totally ruin your layout. The upside: they make great wallpaper.
Spoilers for Doctor Who season 3.

ZOMG, that cranky old guy is exploding!!
2.
Oh, no he’s not, he’s just becoming young and hot. Good-o. Carry on, cranky old guy.
3.
And there it is. Young. Hot. Nostrils.
4.
Floofy sleeves! Evil glee! (Meanwhile the Doctor is showing us his very best Twisty Face of Doom, but that’s another spam)

Say my name, bitch. *fangirls*

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 Bye bye, you cute, insane little man.
And while we gnaw on our own limbs (or those of our flatmates if we have a low pain threshold) waiting for next week’s ep, The Master is hard at work building multiple careers, befriending a bunch of sociopathic flying basketballs, and being good to Lucy’s father. Let’s meet Harold Saxon....

From a distance, he looks like your mate Bob down at the local park. But look at that evil gleam in his eyes. He has impure intentions towards that football.
12.
Why is he holding the ball like it’s a bomb/birthday cake?
13.
Hello Dysfunctional Lucy! Don’t they look nice together?
14.
Don't they look evil together?
15.
16.
Raise your hand if you kind of want to read that book? *raises hand*
17.
Harold Saxon, Minister of Defence.

Aaand that's all for now. Tune in next week, when the Doctor says "The Master is Prime Minister of Great Britain!!"

Date: 2008-02-09 02:50 am (UTC)(besides, it got a lot better after the miniseries!
and he's so fucking cute!)
and competent.
I didn't deal well with him being killed off. so I wrote an 18000 word fic where he's actually a cylon. I'm actually super-proud of it. I worked for months on that motherfucker.
manipulative more than does it for me. also, so does somebody being REALLY good at what they do.

Date: 2008-02-09 03:27 am (UTC)Was it you who said a while back that Billy should totally be the final Cylon? Or was that Fry?
Competence kink! That's pretty common as far as I can tell. I have to agree, it is not entirely unattractive.
no subject
Date: 2008-02-09 03:41 am (UTC)fry says it too.
actually, pretty much everybody that I friend eventually gets indoctrinated to it.
I can list the reasons why it would be BETTER THAN AWESOME and actually better, plotwise than any of the big four. there are a lot of them.
competance kink! it's common because it's a good one. I'm tired of characters inexplicably becoming stupid because the plot requires it.
billy doesn't get stupid, not ever, except for the part where jumped in front of the bullets, but that was HONORABLE AND HIS HEART HAD JUST BEEN BROKEN.

Date: 2008-02-09 04:39 am (UTC)when billy died, I locked myself in my room for three days and didn't eat and didn't sleep and didn't talk to anyone, except to cry.
I was inconsolable.
he was just, just too sweet to live in that world, you know? he was the only one there that was actually honestly purely good, but that didn't diminish his power at all. he was the shining ray of light and all that.
he was beautiful.
I mean, HE was the one that took care of roslin when she had the first cancer, and he was the one that ran the government while she was sick. he was the one, in the beginning of sacrifice that GLARED at bill adama, even though he has no military training whatsoever. and he loved dee, and he gave her his debate team ring! and when she dumped his ass, he didn't whine or cry or curl up in a corner and die, he sacrificed himself for the guy that his girlfriend left him for.
he was just too perfect.
I guess that's how I console myself.

Date: 2008-02-09 05:15 am (UTC)it's just.
there's no real fairness in the world when the billy dies for no reason, you know?
and I'm sure it doesn't help that if I were anybody on the galactica, I would be the billy. I mean, I'm not a good captain, but I'm a kickass first mate.
and oh, billy was so sweet. and he didn't deserve it.
I didn't have a strong reaction to et that I can remember, but I remember getting really upset by the little mermaid. ursula got big enough that a SHIP could fit in her MOUTH?!
but the worst part was when king triton yelled at ariel. I don't deal well with that junk.
I'm actually really sensitive and emotional when I think about it.

Date: 2008-02-09 05:28 am (UTC)Have you done any of the 'what character are you on BSG' quizes? I've done a few. I used to always get Lee. :-P Which I could kind of understand, I mean I have the whole 'ZOMG must do The Right Thing at all costs' thing going on, but I like to think I don't take myself anywhere near that seriously. and I'd be crap in the military, even without the CFS. Crap, I tell you! Anyway last one I did I got Boomer. Which was... disappointing.
My favourite character is definitely Tyrol, but I never get him cos I suck at fixing stuff. And leadership.
no subject
Date: 2008-02-09 05:38 am (UTC)which is good, because I love roslin.
billy isn't quite common enough to make it on those quizzes.
I have gotten cally, too. and I understand that, 'cause if a bitch tries to rape me, I'll bit his frakking ear off. and anything else I can get my mouth on, if I have to.
you don't seem like a lee to me. not nearly emo enough.
I never liked boomer, but I like her more now that she's crazy. and I really really dislike athena. I call her shagathon, and I don't like her.
hera was better off with president roslin, that's what I say.
I like the chief. he's warm and fuzzy in the best way. the strong way. he's honestly good.
not purely good like billy, but solidly, honestly good. good character.
billy's death was apparently because paul campbell wouldn't sign a 5 year contract. but his imdb page says he'd be willing to come back as a cylon, so I'm irrationally excited about that.
I'll be wicked pissed if they don't bring him back as the final cylon, although knowing rdm, he wouldn't think that billy was "groundbreaking" enough and will make it big adama just for shock value or something.

Date: 2008-02-09 05:48 am (UTC)Why thank you. I like to think that too! I'm pretty sure I got him because of my almost pathological sense of right and wrong (don't be scared, I'm a big time bleeding heart liberal), and loyalty. The most important thing to me is doing the right thing by people.
Shagathon! Hee! I love it.
I adore the Chief. ADORE him. It all started on Kobol, when he was being awesome and Crashdown was not.
One of the highlights of last year for me (aside from Bean's birth) was meeting Aaron Douglas (http://pics.livejournal.com/woolly_socks/pic/0006tsks). That's me, thinking "Holy frak, Aaron Douglas has his arm around me!" He said he liked my t-shirt. *squeee*
Oh dear. RDM is a twat sometimes. Like when he was asked why there weren't gay characters on BSG (pre-Helena Cain) and he said they hadn't come up with a good enough storyline. It annoyed me - you don't need a storyline! You're trying to reflect life, (in a way. According to RDM they are anyway) and in life, gay characters don't always have a great storyline either! They're just gay.

Date: 2008-02-09 06:08 am (UTC)lee just kind of fails at it, especially post-s1.
I love the name shagathon too. so much better than athena.
I've liked the chief since the mini. he's got a good face.
but he was better than kickass on kobol.
competence kink ftw!
HOLY AWESOME YOU MET AARON DOUGLAS.
and he complimented your t-shirt?
HE WEARS AWESOME T-SHIRTS EVERYWHERE.
that's wicked rad.
that's like having mary mcdonnell compliment you on your legs or something.
rdm can be wicked awful sometimes.
thinking about him too hard gets me seriously annoyed.
would it have been so hard to give gaeta a boyfriend? or jammer? or somebody? and then not have it end in serious betrayal and rape and shooting?
or to give simon a personality?
aargh. have to stop thinking now.
am going to bed. talk with you later!
(this was super wicked awesome fun!)
*hug*

Date: 2008-02-09 09:54 am (UTC)I know, right. I KNOW. It was an extremely squeeful day, that I raved about at length here (http://woolly-socks.livejournal.com/106118.html). I just couldn't believe he came all the way down here for our little hick town con! When I heard he was coming I just about died. My FAVOURITE actor from the show. Mary McDonnell is a pretty close second, I don't even know if I'd manage to say real words to someone of her Divine Awesomeness.
Zachary Quinto is coming to the same con this year. Fuckin SYLAR!
It has been a lot of fun having about five different conversations with you today! I need to go to bed now too.
