You really manage to pack a lot into 5000 words! Jamie and Zoe's characterisation and dialogue is still amazingly good, and the War Games plot twist I expected ever since it was mentioned that only soldiers vanished, but the War Chief's appearance was still effective. Looking forward to a Doctor/Master/War Chief showdown (and particularly what side the Master will pick).
What I liked even better this chapter than last was the interaction (brief though it was) between the Doctor and the Master - last chapter, it seemed a little too easy, whereas this time the Doctor's disapproval and the Master's sort of aggressive sulking seem much more natural.
I'm still very intrigued by the Master's exile story, I hope we'll learn more about how he happened to settle on Earth so completely.
