Doctor, which sets Nyssa off on a violent streak. From what I've read it was supposed to be an appearance of Leela, which would have explained the violence. Love Gallifrey stories. pic.twitter.com/nzomkbRgOW

Castellan pushes conspiracy theory & tries to implicate the Doctor. It's mostly a political thriller in this episode. Hedin is revealed to be the bad guy. Omega is also revealed. pic.twitter.com/PDuo0UZbYS

get an accidental cameo by John Nathan-Turner. Tegan meets up with the Doctor & joins the Tardis crew again. In the end, I liked this story, but I wished Omega looked like Omega. pic.twitter.com/FC3L8voQly
