Day 302: The Dæmons Episode 4

The Master appears once again in this story, so let's have a look at how the character works within this story. He's decided that he's going to summon one of the titular Dæmons, Azal, in order to gain supreme power as these Dæmons are essentially Gods, occuring throughout human myth as creatures of power throughout history as horned beasts, akin to Satan. This is in line with much of what the Master has done throughout the series so far: enter into a story and use another creature's powers to hopefully take over the universe. It works because it means that we don't get tired of this one character and their nefarious schemes as we areninstead able to associate all of his episodes with other villains. However, it also means that the character comes across as a little bit weaker, unable to put their own plans into fruition without outside help.

That said, the character's still nice to have around and they help to make the story a little bit more bearable such that we aren't just stuck with a story focussed on Satanism and Morris Dancing.
