Well, that's kinda what I'm getting at. The effect he has on Six's timeline. He can only appear once by his very nature. That's it. The Trial was his big gambit, and he lost.
He's not even a good villain, really. Just because he's there doesn't mean he needs to be re-used. Cumberbatch can be the Master, or the Great Intelligence, or Omega, or even a regeneration of Rassilon, or Praxis, or someone completely new.

He's such an obvious choice for the Master, though. I'd like to see somebody really out there for the role, especially opposite Capaldi.

Patrick Stewart.

Would Cumberbatch even do it at this point? Dude's probably going to follow up being in The Hobbit with being in Star Wars, while still doing Sherlock and whatever other movies he's GUARANTEED to be offered in the interim.
Oh shit, Patrick Stewart would be fucking gold.

Knowing Moffat, if we do ever get the Valeyard it'd probably be Capaldi playing both roles, seeing as how much of a hardon he has for clones in the series.
For the Master, man Patrick Stewart would be a treat.

Cumberbatch is in The Hobbit?
He's Smaug and the Necromancer.

This man knows what he's talking about.
Cumberbatch has not so subtly said that his career is too big now for him to do just a guest stint on Doctor Who.

I want Matt Smith as the Master. He chose that face out of SPITE!
I actually think someone in the vein of Smith could be really good to play against Capaldi. Having someone who can simultaneously be very young and very very old. Maybe someone like Ben Whishaw. But that's mainly because every says he should be the Doctor.
Moffat said they're going for a "fierce" Doctor with 12, and really you kind of have to go that way when you have Capaldi.
The perfect match for a fierce Doctor would be a "cool" Master. Someone who can stare down Capaldi and look like he doesn't give a shit. Cumberbatch has the perfect aura for that, although he's probably too busy now. Stewart is probably even more of a pipe dream than Cumberbatch.

Jamie from The Thick of It for the Master! Would be hilarious. That pair have such intensity.
Stewart talked in interviews loads about wanting to do Who when he was starring opposite Tennant in Hamlet, though he gave the impression it was less because of the show and more because of how much he loved working with Tennant. The right role never came in time (though allegedly was off-the-record asked about Rassilon, but wasn't free during End of Time's filming) and once Tennant left he stopped talking about it, sadly. I'd love him to do it, though. Hopefully one day they can get him. He must have a working relationship with Capaldi, there's no way those two haven't met on the theatre circuit.
It's that or make that bloody comic canon...

If Dumbledore will do a guest spot in Who then Cumberbatch should too.
You're a bad person. Eleven is probably my favourite Doctor at this point. Not something I said of Ten at the end of his life.
Matt was my first Doctor.
I wouldn't mind him having even 5 more series. But I understand it's his time to go. I'm sure Capaldi's going to be great.Wait.
Usually, people are resentful towards new Doctors, and then the Doctors end up being great.
What happens when people expect the new Doctor to be great? Are we jinxing it?
After Eccelston I hope they never get anyone on the show who thinks that they are above it.
11 is definitely better than 10. I have nothing against him. I like him well enough. He's not a jerk like 9.
I just think that 12 is going to be on another level.

I like 10 and 11 for different reasons but I'm really partial to 10 a bit more. Tennant's comedic timing is just ace and he did raging Doctor pretty damn well.

I only own the first half of this, It would be amazing to see it made live action. Do it for charity

Edgar Wright still interested in doing an episode of Doctor Who
Also claims he came up with the casting for David Bradley as William Hartnell in An Adventure in Space and Time! I think I'd die of happiness if we had Wright behind a Capaldi episode. He'd put everybody else, including Gaiman to shame.

I'd love that, so long as he doesnt find a way to shoe horn Simon Pegg in.
He's had his part on who, not again!
The first 10 minutes or so of that episode are great!
If there is any justice in the world, this is the Doctor and the Master
Doesn't he actually play The Master in the Big Finish audios? At any rate, he's too softspoken in my opinion.

He does?! I was just joking because of Tucker's hatred for him :lol
Keeping with the Thick of It, has Roger Allam ever done anything Doctor Who related? He's fantastic.

I know, its not the best statement to make when mentioning Who and multiple parts for the same Actor.
I'm just a little tired of Pegg, lol

I want Martin Freeman as The Master, I think he could really do a great job. I want him to be the guy whose thoughts are dominated by how the council used him and ruined his life, with endless and uncontrollable anger bubbling just below the surface that explodes out in very quick bursts when provoked.
He wasn't in Scott Pilgrim at all if memory serves me right! But god I'd love to see Wright do one. Lovely to think that he doesn't think himself above it now that he's making a Marvel film and all, good shit.
There's a fair few British film makers I'd love to see given a crack at it in my dreams. Joe Wright, Sam Mendes, Steve McQueen. Please.

Aye, I get the feeling theres a consensus that if your offered a part or a crack at Doctor Who, the majority of people jump at the chance due to the impact it can have.

Contrary to popular, Edgar Wright is not actually obligated to cast Pegg in every film he does. In fact, I dare say that he'll never cast him in a film that they haven't both written together.
Wright and Pegg were both well against a Pegg/Frost cameo in Scott Pilgrim, for example.

How could you ever get tired of Pegg. Which reminds me, I need to .gif my World's End DVD...

He just tends to grate on me a bit, not sure why.
He's one of those actors that I like and dont like at the same time.
I dunno, just something about him.

I have no doubt, based on his Big Finish performance, that he'd give an utterly incredible take on the character. His BF performance has a lot of Simm in it (before Simm took the role!) too.
I still blame cuts. And maybe the subject matter, to be honest, Gaiman is best when he wants to do these... weird, fairy-tail, Gaiman-esque type of stories and a bunch of Cybermans being dicks wasn't it.
Good god The Doctor's Wife is an excellent episode.
I think there's a great story in Nightmare but it feels so disjointed, so it's a shame we can't get proper extended cuts for the discs. The Doctor playing Chess against a corrupted half is a fantastic idea.
Honestly though I think the episode most helped by a bit of extra time would be Power of Three, I loved it to bits right up until one of the most abrupt rushed endings.
If I've learned anything from wrestling, Mass Effect and the reaction to series finales, it's how you end the story that shapes how people remember the whole. Even if people absolutely loved the story right up until the ending, if you don't stick that landing then people are just far less enthused.
