– !!! As you comment further down, they know each other very well indeed.
– So at least the Master’s son got the regeneration with the really excellent long-term planner trait... That part is a naturally occurring trait. luckweaver mentions MBTI a little further down. I got into it this spring (thanks to other LJ friends) and discovered that the Seeker is a perfect-in-every-detail INTJ. (If you're curious google 'INTJ' and check out the top 3 results. Actually the top two would do. Hang on, I'll just link you. INTJ personality & Portrait of an INTJ. I will allow you to imagine what I first felt when I read those pages, bearing in mind I've been writing this character since 2007...)
– !!! Four probably told himself something quite similar after leaving Romana in E-Space... It's almost an occupational hazard, when it comes to Time Lords...
Waffles?? The sheer normality of waffles in the midst of concealed High Gallifreyan drama is lovely. Waffles... I think it started because of Alien Abduction (waffles even featured in the summary: ' This story begins with abduction and ends with waffles. In between there's some adventuring and some heartache and a fair few truths are revealed.') Then there is the very first meeting (proper meeting, when Alex isn't a baby) between Alex & Roda, the one mentioned where the Master has dislocated her arm with a waffle iron. It's too early for more thoughts right now, but waffles are a thing the Seeker always comes back to. Waffles are nice.
– Not stupid, our boy. Feels like the Seeker is almost too clever not to see through his own plan at this point... That is almost part of it? He knows that he has a tendency to over-think everything. Which is why I very carefully had him logically work through the 'Why does it feel wrong' in Act Three - he doesn't guess, because he thinks it's wounded pride that's making him over-analyse... And he won't let himself become wrapped up in conspiracy theories, as he figures that's just his mind trying to overcompensate. So... he naturally corrects his own smartness? Does that even make sense?
– Deliciously turning the bits in Act Three into foreshadowing except that while we thought then that the wrongness was external, he actually engineered the wrongness himself. Wonderful. I understand why Moffat likes this so much! (My keywords for this icon are 'Moffat for Dummies'. ;)
