Finally we get to Frontier. This is my fav Pertwee story - always has been. The Draconians are one of my fav races in Who. For 1973, they were realized BRILLIANTLY. But they pic.twitter.com/YRjHEHcq7L

never have come back. Would love to see that. This is also the final story with Roger Delgado as The Master. He died in a car accident about 3 months after this story aired. pic.twitter.com/bZXVfiU5Io

Only 3 mins into Ep2, and we're in another holding cell. It happens a lot in Frontier.? Most of this episode is the Earthmen and the Draconians accusing each other of lying pic.twitter.com/Rsy1TlLlWl

about attacking the other side, and the Doctor trying to get them to listen to what's really happening. There is a lot of political back and forth here. Oddly it works for me. pic.twitter.com/lQBnD6G66C

First off, Williams is a jackass. We've seen many of those in Doctor Who - want the guy to get blown out an airlock. He tries to mind probe the Doctor, which doesn't work. pic.twitter.com/3laawQ39IN

The Doctor gets sent to a penal colony where political prisoners are at. One of the prisoners' actors later turns up in Shada & Timelash. The Master finally appears in this ep. pic.twitter.com/b0Yz9Xk0V3

The Doctor & Jo are rescued by the Master, who is holding them for his "masters". He is taking them to the Ogron planet. The bulk of this ep is taken up with The Doctor trying pic.twitter.com/9UDQiAlvog

to escape from his cell, which involves a spacewalk. Before the Master can kill Jo, the Draconians show up and start to take them back to Draconia. This ep had a slower pace. pic.twitter.com/FNa96f7BD5

We finally get to Draconia & my fav scene is in this - the one when the Doctor proves he's someone who helped them in the past. After an attack by the Ogrons, the Doctor is pic.twitter.com/MFpcAQ4geN

finally able to convince someone of what is going on for real, and a peace mission to Earth sets off. Jo is captured by Ogrons. The Master yelling at Ogrons is hilarious. pic.twitter.com/wxaxn7kOri

The end of my fav Doc3 story, & sadly the end of Roger Delgado's Master. After this aired, he was killed in a car crash. It nixed plans for a Delgado/Pertwee finale next series pic.twitter.com/iALJHcom5E

The conflict is resolved when it is made clear that the Master is stirring up everyone. The Daleks are revealed to be working with the Master; The Doctor is injured at the end. pic.twitter.com/WHNY6JS9Yy

I leave you with this line - it's my single favorite line line in any of Delgado's appearances. 50yrs later, still the best Master. #StupidTinBoxes pic.twitter.com/EDNhw9bRA3
