Day 555: Castrovalva Part 2

I mentioned before about how the other main characters are dealt with in this story, however I neglected to mention Adric and the Master. This is because they are on the other side of the story, with the Master generally spending much of his time trying to kill the Doctor, whilst having Adric trapped in a bizzare web, forcing him to be his unwilling henchman. It's nice to have these two characters together, as it increases our investment in the Master's scheme, now that we know that Adric is trapped and is being forced to work for him, so we're somewhat hoping that Adric will survive this dilemma. We're also intrigued by this, as the script has the Master as a main part of the story, and yet we know little of his full plan to destroy the Doctor. There's a new tension that develops, then, as we wonder as to what the Master's final plan is, and whether this new Doctor will be able to escape this trap before it's too late, which makes us, as the audience, more invested within this story, and whether we, too, can solve the puzzle before it's too late.
