Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Master's role as an observer evolves into an active antagonist seeking to eliminate the Doctor. His earlier satisfaction at the Doctor's approach ('Go on, go on.') darkly mirrors his later desperation ('The Doctor is expendable') as the conflict intensifies.
