So! After serious, deep thought, I've come to a couple conclusions.

CONCLUSION NUMBER ONE: is somewhat belated because I decided this months ago but never thought to post it here.

'Domination ... from dominus "lord, master," lit. "master of the house," from domus "home" (see domestic) + -nus, suffix denoting ownership or relation.'

'Meddle ... From mid-14c. to 1700, it also was a euphemism for "have sexual intercourse."'

(from the Online Etymology Dictionary)

Obviously Theta set out to give Koschei the bedroom eyes, and Koschei was trying to propose, and then the idiots never bothered to find out the hidden meaning in each others' actions and, and, the next thing you know it's all bondage and TCEs. This is why you don't say "I love you" with alien etymology.

CONCLUSION NUMBER TWO: the time cracks in series five are the Master punching through the time lock back into the universe proper. I don't know if anyone's come up with this theory yet Don't thank me, just write fic.
