The Rings of Akhaten but for the Master, in that they both have an alright story, and that they both conclude with a ridiculously stupid and epic speech for absolutely no reason except for the Doctor/Master to gloat about how old they are.

The connection to The Sky Man is very cool, and I actually like this speech more because it’s so purposefully made to reflect the Doctor’s Akhaten speech which is very funny (and actually kinda cool), but these ‘defense stories’ all suffer a bit from not being allowed to really go anywhere because the Master is stuck telling a story about how nice he is.

Lovely to have more of these Cole interactions, very fun with also the knowledge of what happens after (also, i wonder how this set takes place after Sky Man. Last story will definitely touch on that point. Very interested to see what they come up with (edit: okay, they didnt… i assume it just takes places during The Sky Man then. He got bored and popped off to do all this at some point ig)). I also really quite just enjoyed the adventure. Idk i like the vibe of this play-pretend-nice Master.
