The New Skaro idea also sure seems far-fetched, what with the planet
being a carbon copy of the original and all... All this because the 7th
Doctor muttered that the 1963 Daleks were from "1,000 years in the
future" placing it chronologically before stories such as "The Daleks'
Masterplan"... But then, it was during the 7th Doctor's era that other
things cropped up with totally conflicted with what had been established
in earlier stories (like the Haemovores from the distant future in "The
Curse of Fenric")...
Maybe the Discontinuity Guide had it right: Dalek history being changed
in "Genesis" moving all previous Dalek stories into an alternate
timeline... Though I've always considered this approach to be a cop
out...

assistant: Hey Michael,
That is precisely my point, you can't prove that the Doctor behaves in
a way out of the norm for a Time Lord, for the same reasons.
Romana was fine, but we haven't seen the Master regenerate.
Fighting a regeneration merely implies a strong will to hold on to
one's present body, that is behavioural, not psychological. You can't
prove that the other characteristics are out of the norm either.
That is also what I argued before, he would have known about a taint
in the Doctor's bloodline.
There is no evidence for that, the Master states that he is
"predictable as ever".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Mike,
Are you talking about personality or regenerations now?
See _The Keeper of Traken_, _Final Frontier_, and _Enemy Within_.  In the
first and last, the Master simply takes over the bodies of other lifeforms
with minimal difficulty.  In _Final Frontier_, the Master suffers no ill
effects after having to regenerate.  From what little we've heard and seen of
other Time Lords, difficult regenerations are not common.
And you can't prove that they're normal, so we'll just have to agree to
disagree at this point until some more hard evidence occurs regarding
regeneration.
No, he wouldn't.  Knowing some one very well doesn't mean you know everything
about them.
Unless I'm mis-remembering, the Master used the Doctor's bio-data extract to
lure the Doctor back to Gallifrey;  he used the Matrix to predict the
President's death, and project that image to the Doctor.  I can't remember if
he used the data for anything else beyond that point.  There is no reason to
assume that the Master browsed through the contents of the extract.  Indeed,
had he found out that the Doctor was a hybrid, I'm quite sure he would have
made that known to the Doctor.  The final nail, of course, is that he simply
didn't know until _Enemy Within_ that the Doctor was half-human, so it's
obvious that either the bio-data extract didn't contain the data or that the
Master didn't bother to look through it.
