Maybe my favourite of the set thus far. I really liked hearing Cole again, and the Master had some great lines in this including a really really great speech. The ending has me so excited for the final part!!

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.
