I would quite like Eleventy to have a new, matching Master, and I had a little bit been thinking about Cumberbatch because everyone else had, and considering he and Matt Smith are beffies it would be fun (actors who are friends IRL always give the best slash chemistry). Also, it would be funny if the Master got to be ginger.
(Though what I really want is Tilda Swinton as a femme!Master. Ideally with Eight, doing the Time War saga, but with Eleven would also be excellent. But that's just my pipe dream.)
But dude, how many Doctors did Ainley act with? I am a-okay with Simm being the new Ainley, especially if he gets good writing, because he rocks the good writing. And I could see him being good with Eleven.
I kind of suspect what happened was that, pre-End of Time, Simm thought, "Well, best to leave if Tennant's leaving - it's only fitting." And then he read the script and went, "An entire turkey? Electric skeleton? MOFF, I COULD COME BACK IF YOU WERE WRITING, NO REALLY."
