First ep of S17 has Romana regenerate just because she felt like it. She eventually picks an outfit that is my favorite of either Romana's - basically a pink variant of the pic.twitter.com/vxCJEs7ITu

Fourth Doctor's outfit. Story wise this follows up on the events of Genesis, but we don't see a Dalek until the last min of the ep. Have always loved this story. No K9. pic.twitter.com/3Gw4jq12tW

Romana is captured and interrogated by the Daleks, who are more shouty than usual. The Doctor was rescued and chats with the Movellans who are here to fight the Daleks. pic.twitter.com/NN6Fde6KEH

What we don't know right away is the Movellans are robots fighting the Daleks and they're an an impasse in their war. The Daleks are on Skaro to recover Davros to help them. pic.twitter.com/Mqtj3TsGgI

The Doctor gets to Davros first, and the Daleks try to recover him. It leads to a scene that reminds me of one from Genesis with the Doctor & Davros talking theories and pic.twitter.com/pQmm10YPpP

concepts by themselves. Romana is captured by the Movellans trying to get help. The standoff scene with the Doctor & the Daleks is one I quite enjoyed. Cliffhanger is good. pic.twitter.com/a55CwLBybo

The Doctor using rock/paper/scissors to explain why the Movellans and the Daleks are at a military stalemate was an amusing scene. Davros sends Daleks to the Movellan ship pic.twitter.com/BRs2bRDkpi

to blow it up; looked comical to me. Movellans had a big problem, they could be killed by pulling off their power packs. In the end Davros is captured & Daleks blown up. pic.twitter.com/yb2tHHkbXL
