Day 684: Battlefield Part 3

There's a series of interesting decisions leading up to the revelation of the monster, The Destroyer, at the end of this episode. We first see it in silhouette, inside a crystal ball. That silhouette is then transfered to the real world, but it remains in silhouetted form, keeping a degree of mystery about the character, but also allowing for a sense of anticipation to build as the monster becomes more of a threat. This threat becomes palpable at the end of the episode, as it reveals itself in all of its glory, a majestic horned blue beast that looks vaguely demonic. It lives up to the anticipation that has been built around the character, mostly because through the shadow that we see of it, we're able to discern a lot of its features. However, there's a degree of disappointment, because the shadow form of it is slightly more unnerving and mystical, and one kind of wishes that they had stayed wi that form for the entire story. But, it's still a good monster, and another positive thing about this story.
