1st of the 2 Peladon stories, and the better one, I think. Starts off with a scenario that they did once before in Hartnell's era - Tardis falling down a hill. Didn't really pic.twitter.com/TlEwh1QUW4

follow up on it, though. This story also features the return of the Ice Warriors & introduces Alpha Centauri. Finally King Peladon is David Troughton, son of the 2nd Doctor. pic.twitter.com/tRXmpXKULE

Now I remember why I didn't go back to this story a lot. Hepesh annoyed the shit out of me, I kept wishing he'd get killed by Aggedor, and/or pushed off the giant cliff. pic.twitter.com/J6hWFARpWm

The angle of King Peladon having the hots for Jo is an amusing one. The Doctor spends a lot of time thinking the Ice Warriors are behind all the evil doings here. #FuckHepesh pic.twitter.com/KXxAbqcR5b

King Peladon doubles down on his hots for Jo thing by proposing marriage which freaks her out. One of my favorite bits of this story as a whole is how the Ice Warriors are pic.twitter.com/WIq5WSf86l

shown to not be bad guys - it's a great twist if you had been watching since 60s. The King almost feels like a secondary character here. Fight felt like Thunderdome lite. pic.twitter.com/RBvvs2mS8L

Hepesh is ratted out & the one representative who looked like a bug was killed as they were in league. The remaining characters team up to defeat Hepesh who tries to bring pic.twitter.com/1ZTwTC2Oh5

civil war to Peladon. In the end, the Doctor wins by using the Aggedor creature against Hepesh, killing him. The Doctor escapes when the real Earth delegate arrives. pic.twitter.com/fhIqDwrzN0
