*** Maybe I phrased that badly. On their own, I'm not confused by Time Lords being unable to regenerate. On their own, I'm not confused by Cybermasters being able to regenerate. What I'm confused by is those two facts ''both'' being true, simultaneously.

* It's pretty clear that the Master ''chose'' to stay on TheSlowPath for seventy-seven years. As of Series 10, there's a TARDIS being stored at a University in Britain for most of the time he's "trapped" on Earth that he could pop over and borrow. If he doesn't want to risk Twelve seeing him, as early as the seventies [[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E1TerrorOfTheAutons his past self arrives on Earth]] in a TARDIS that's functional until Three sabotages it. And, let's not forget, the Doctor, enemy of the Kasaavin, takes less than an hour to figure out how to use them and the Silver Lady to get from 1834 to 1943; the Master is nominally their ally but never gets a lift from them. So ''why'' didn't he want to get back to 2020?

*** Problem with that is that it would throw off the numbering even more. Martin's Doctor would be the true Third Doctor, making Pertwee's the Fourth and so on. And also, if she's the third, then the Tenth Doctor shouldn't have expected to regenerate into the Eleventh in ''The End of Time,'' nor would he have said to Wilf, "some new man goes walking away, and I'm dead."

** Speed could have been a factor. Walking around in heavy armour would have been time consuming and exhausting. They wanted to get to the Doctor as soon as possible and, considering they were heading towards an Army of Cybermen, may have decided stealth would have benefited more than going into a fire fight against superior numbers.

** Another possibility is that, since he's working with the Cybermen, he's keeping an eye on them, and has some kind of spy camera somewhere around.
** Another possibility is that the truck driver is in the habit of getting tea at that particular stop, which Robertson knows from surveillance.

** Well she was on the clock, she did not have time to try and chase him down and force him into the Tardis. Not to mention she was almost into her TARDIS when Robertson told her his intention then was shooting down the ladder. She had two options , try and chase after Robertson, try and subdue him and hope the Daleks don't notice them. Or she could continue and complete her time-sensitive plan that everything hinged on. Another factor to consider is that the Doctor had just spent twenty years basically isolated so that would have made her a touch off her game hence her delayed reaction. Not to mention this is not the first nor last time the Doctor have had their plans derailed by [[TooDumbToLive self-serving humans acting in their own interests contrary to common sense during high pressure situations.]]

*** Earth is hardly an inconspicuous planet, however. With such a notable contingent of Time Lord renegades and exiles popping up there (e.g. Professor Chronotis, K'anpo Rimpoche, the Monk, the Rani), to say nothing of its importance to the Doctor, it ought to be on a Time Lord watch list. It would be one of the first places anyone searching the Doctor’s lives would look.

** Maybe River getting regenerations from Vortex exposure was the same way the Timeless Child/their original species did - take everything you thought you knew about Time Lord origins and apply it to whatever the Doctor is.
