not my problem ...

"We've prevented the Master from freeing himself and opening the Mouth of Hell. That's not to say he's going to stop trying." Um, why is Giles concerned that the Master might escape? He's had sixty years to try and it hasn't worked yet. His best bet occurs once a century and they just stopped it. Why isn't anyone saying that the Master can be someone else's problem?

TV show wise: it's a cheesy line to sell us the idea that the Master will be a weekly feature.

Head canon wise: Some fabulous Watcher-ness on Giles' part means he alone has a sense of foreboding that this guy is going to be trouble. Hence, that's why Giles is so concerned about the prophecy of the Annoying One. He Just Knows Shit Will Go Down.

Oh, I totally got the cheesy line bit, I meant from the characters's PoV. I love that Giles just knows this is going to be a problem. Fabulous Watcher-ness. ;-) Excellent explanation.
