| 1 | * CompleteMonster: The "[[CardCarryingVillain Tremas]]" Master, born from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E6TheKeeperOfTraken when the Decayed Master killed and took over the body of the kind-hearted Tremas]], has the highest body count of any Master. This Master posesses all the intelligence of his predecessors, coupled with a thoroughly unstable mind. While attempting to conquer Logopolis, the Master's attack on it accidentally causes the universe to begin collapsing, leaving a quarter of it destroyed by misfortune before it's stopped. Pretending to help the Doctor stop the destruction of the universe, the Master betrays and tries to use the peril to either take control of the universe, or allow it to be destroyed, ending the story by killing the Fourth incarnation of the Doctor when he foils his plans. |
| 2 | * MoralEventHorizon: The Master gets a proper new body again, he destroys one-quarter of the universe, including the home planet of one of the Doctor's companions (though admittedly that was an accident he caused by going on a killing spree). And the new body he got is the corpse of said companion's father. After that, there was really no going back for that incarnation. |

| 4 | ** During the wonderful TearJerker finale, while the Doctor is staggering about on the rickety bridge trying to save the universe with [[OhAndXDies both he and the audience knowing he's going to die]], he is being watched for unclear reasons by what is obviously [[FakeShemp a cardboard cutout]] of Creator/AnthonyAinley. The Blu-ray release of Season 18 amends this by compositing different footage of Ainley over the cutout. |
| 5 | ** Earlier, when the Master puts a bracelet on Nyssa’s wrist, one of the jewels drops off just as he lets go of it. |
| 6 | * SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The regeneration, particularly the cocoon effect. Arguably the best regeneration effect in the show's history and Creator/TheBBC pulled it off in the early eighties with no CGI. |
| 7 | * WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: Programmers who use code to hold the universe together are portrayed as chanting monks in a monastery, the Doctor is followed by an apparition who seems like both a revenant and a guardian angel. There is a distinctly Tarotic vibe with a Tower, a Hanged Man, a Judgement and arguably a King of Wands. The constellation Cassiopeia, named for a monarch turned upside down for vanity, is significant in the climax in which the Fourth Doctor, known for his ego, dies and is resurrected as the Fifth Doctor, his most humble incarnation -- an inverted and diminished form. There are whole books dedicated to puzzling out what the symbolism in this one means, such as El Sandifer's ''[[https://www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/recursive-occlusion-logopolis Recursive Occlusion]]'' (an explicitly occultist reading). |
