"New technology dates so quickly these days.", The Doctor looking sadly at his sonic, "The Keeper of Traken" So, the "Tremas" / "Master" anagram. It's a nice as a nod to the fans of the third Doctor's encounters: Magister/Thascalos pseudonyms (and for Radio Times misdirections). But it doesn't work in the story, does it? Either the viewer notices that it's an anagram which could give a premature hint about the mysterious character, or you notice it afterwards and realise that the name "Tremas" being an anagram prior to his body being acquired by the Master doesn't really make sense. I like the use of eggplants/aubergines used as paperweights in Tremas's office. Ok, so I guess eggplants are of alien origin - of course that's obvious - just look at them. (Alton Brown agrees) "I think that one of you two should step into the breach if you want to keep this quaint old custom going.", The Doctor, "The Keeper of Traken" "I'll go.", Luvic, "The Keeper of Traken" I like Luvic, the self-effacing consul. The actor, Robin Soans, later had a small role in "Face the Raven" in New Who. However he has exactly one line in episode four and that was it - "I'll go." - just prior to becoming the new Keeper. "I don't understand what's going on.", Luvic, "The Keeper of Traken"
