(First watched 2024-10-22, -23, -25, -) Is The Master just a bit of a fool? A machine that lets him go across all time and space, and somehow lickety split he seems to have been caught by Axos and forced to make pacts with them. He's also looking to destroy all life on Earth and... what's the point of that? Taking over a world is one thing, but what's the point of ruling over a dead world?

The soldiers guarding Axos sure don't seem to pay much attention to who is entering or leaving the thing.

A bit of a backhanded compliment, but I'm enjoying that with this episode they finally seem to have gone fully into the "goofy 1970s effects" look I've been looking forward to. Multiple goofy alien costumes, an eyeball on a stalk, what was supposed to be a big blob on the ground that was clearly a guy moving around inside a big piece of cloth. Beautiful in its own way.

At the end the Master has somewhat fixed the Doctor's TARDIS, but it still will only bring him back to Earth. Now, he did use it to relocate to Axos--but that was on Earth at the time. So does that mean that while he can't use it to get off planet, he could still use it to get anywhere ON the planet in a flash? Because that still seems pretty useful.
