"YOU HAVE FAILED! THE SUPREME COUNCIL DOES NOT ACCEPT FAILURE!"
Be sure to "like" comment and share this video around to appease the almighty algorithm!!
Jon pertwee in a dressing gown!🤔cool👍
December hopefully. I wondered what you were talking about!
I would like to see the Supreme Council Dalek fight against the Time War Supreme Dalek in a 1v1.
I. WILL. NOT
FAIL. NOTT FAIL. NOT FAILLLL!
Mr TARDIS
19.7K subscribers The gold colored Supreme Council Dalek (with the flash light eye-stalk) has always been my Number 1# favorite out of all the Supreme Daleks because of his ruthlessness.
Head of the Supreme Dalek Council: [Turns to the Dalek Leader] "The action of the aliens has caused considerable disruption of operations on this planet."
Dalek Leader: "This was a matter beyond my control."
Head of the Supreme Dalek Council: [angry] "Your orders were to exterminate them!"
Dalek Leader: [fearfully] "It has not been possible. We have been unable to use the bacteria bombs."
Head of the Supreme Dalek Council: [outraged] "The responsibility was yours! YOU HAVE FAILED! THE SUPREME COUNCIL DOES NOT ACCEPT FAILURE!" [The Supreme Dalek shoots and kills the failed Dalek]
"We're on a course for Earth"
"WELL NATURALLY BECAUSE WE'RE CHASING THEM!"
God, that made me laugh.
He’s my favourite master!
"The Daleks say they have mastered invisibility, yet we don't see it"
I mean...
...touche
Clever git
13:29 - 13:56 This scene is why that one Dalek in "Death To The Daleks" had a complete meltdown when it realized it failed - it knew the other Daleks were going to have its head.
Probably Delgado's' best performance as the Master. I swear, he was born to play the Master.
He was brilliant as the Master. I still get upset at the way he was taken from us, such a lovely man by all accounts. May he Rest In Peace.
Yes he was probably the best Master other than Sir Derick Jacobi from the short two part episode with number 10 Martha and Captain Jack. He starts out being a kindly old gent who's been building this huge escape ship along with his odd assistant girl. Then Martha spots the Time Lord watch that number 10 had just used to hide his true identity. The moment the drumming starts up in his head you realize oh no..
it's him!!! The look on his face changes and he becomes suddenly cruel and evil looking, perfect transformation!! I would have loved to see a bit more of him as the Master with a little more dialogue between him and Tennant. He was always a great actor who should have gotten better use too bad
@@r.g.o3879 I remember that I watched the Five Doctors for the first time a few months before Utopia aired and when I realised it was the Master I remember jumping up and screaming while my dad, who has been a fan since Hartnell's time, was sitting there was his mouth hanging open.
@@r.g.o3879 I think the top 5 is
Jacobi:
Ainley/Delgado: 2/3 (placement depends on the day)
Geoffrey Beevers: 4
Michelle Gomez: 5
8:04 I always interpreted that as "Oh shit, Daleks can become invisible now?", and he said in a tone that sounded more vengeful and angry than surprised.
That was probably him hating it and being annoyed coz we all know he hates the Daleks and didn’t understood what people/the audience saw in them or liked about them lol
11:35 - "Pertwee's Doctor isn't well suited to Dalek stories" - Jon Pertwee hated the Daleks as a character and had nothing but contempt for them and I feel it really shows in this one because he knows what's coming up so it's very hard for him to act surprised, at least I think so anyway.
3:39, What?! No, not the Mind Probe!
What? Nonotthemind PROBE!
Whoever was operating the Supreme Dalek needed some bloody practice with the dome lights.
stanley boy tbf it was a guy who had no experience prior and they were on a tight deadline
DanTheMan 2150AD Why did they give THAT guy the Supreme Dalek To operate? There were at least 2 other better operators.
stanley boy can’t remember it was in the production subtitles as to why.
I think it wasn’t completely screen ready, there was something about it on the 63:88 channel, last minute issues of the plan to borrow one from Terry meant it wasn’t the one they’d prepped. I think somebody nicked the top half, so it was a push to get the replacement top painted and ready on the day.
So quite possibly there were technical issues with the dome lights? It doesn’t look like the dome was turning too smoothly neither, does it? Sticky paint, perhaps?
Lumibear it’s a bit deeper than that, but mainly yes.
There is a moment when Jo is out wandering in the jungle that the grass parts and you see she is being watched by two little plants. When the grass parts further you can see they have tiny eye stalks they are tiny little daleks!!! Sooo cute!
Well if you ever do a 'Mastercember', you have some of the work done!
As long as it's not MasterMay as someone might unfortunately mishear it.... I'll see myself out.
Funny story, the guy playing the main Thal is a veteran of Who, as he played Gulliver in The Mind Robber and the head Time Lord in The War Games, and would go on to play the traitorous Time Lord (possibly the same one from War Games) in The Deadly Assassin. Always neat to see him.
I like to believe they’re the same time lord now that you said they’re the same actor.
I think the doctor being surprised by the daleks could be interpreted that he was surprised by the daleks being invisible not that they were there
8:26-"Jon Pertwee's private cocaine party'
LMAO comedy gold of a line there from you Trillbee sir.
Nowadays that doctor would be fired and replaced 😂😂the 70s were quite different
@@stephjovi And if the Blue Peter producer was in charge then she would film a statement explaining how Jon Pertwee had let down the young fans of the programme.
Roger Delgado’s last appearance was in a doctor who video game where his voice acting and acting is great!
I miss him.
You’re probably thinking of Anthony Ainley
@@EditedAF987 ah apologies
Years ago, my local PBS station ran a Dalek marathon, showing a Dalek story a week on Sunday nights from the beginning. So, you have my respect for going through these daily and not weekly as I did back in the day. By this point, there is a pattern to the Dalek stories that is becoming clear: tease them in the title but then they won't show up until the cliffhanger of episode one when we're all supposed to be surprised by this development. And you're right that Terry Nation loves to use elements of stories over and over and over again...but that did lead to us getting Genesis of the Daleks. The DVDs tells us how Barry Letts called Nation out over turning in the same script as twice before and challenged him to write something new. The result was one of the greatest stories in all of Doctor Who.
Pertwee was pretty much not a huge fan of the Daleks either. And given his three Dalek stories ain't exactly home runs, I can see why.
14:12 I don’t blame the lack of difference in the voice, in fact I can hear a difference in the voice between the 2 grey Daleks. IT’S THE GUY THAT IS OPERATING THE SUPREME DALEK THAT IS CAUSING THE CONFUSION FOR ME.
Delgado was a great Master, is such a shame that we lost him so soon. So far Terry Nation's Dalek stories seem to be a rehash of his previous stories with a few new elements added or reworked, I'm looking forward to seeing his next ones.
I really wish Delgado didn't die, he was such a great Master.
True.. But even if he was still alive they would’ve just brought him back in season 11 one last time to wrap up his arc.
Everyday we get closer to Genesis of the Daleks.
Hallelujah!
Uhm let me fix this saying, everyday we march closer to... THE MOST OVER RATED DOCTOR WHO STORY EVER
@@davidbanan. It is pretty much as good as the rep is tbf
Planet of the Daleks was the first Doctor Who serial I ever saw when it was repeated on BBC1 back in the early 90s and for me was an absolute turning point. Haven't watched it in years but had it on video somewhere and used to rewatch it constantly back in the day.
It's a terrific story. I adore it & never get tired watching it.
This story is quite similar to the Vietnam war, a battle in a jungle that consists of a technologically advanced army being beaten by a handful of soldiers that are considered primitive.
12:29 speech at the end about people glamorising wars. Reminds me a bit of the First World War where the British government use tricks to get people to join up. I recommend you listen to the song billy don’t be a hero by paper lace.
@@nathantew946 That line about not glamorizing war could also be topical here in America in a post-9/11 culture.
The Sontarans and Rutans were heavily inspired by the US Army and Vietcong respectively.
That was actually an intent behind the episode allegedly
@@ItsButterBean1020 yeah the making of documentary for Planet more or less confirms it.
“No other ship would be on a course for earth at this time
*we are on a course for earth*
Well NATURALLY BECAUSE WERE CHASING THEM”
I've never been really crazy about Planet of the Daleks, and you've reminded me of why.
But still, the courage speech is damn awesome
Jo: Last time we met the Ogrons, they were working for the Daleks. Do you think it could be them?
The script: No. But actually, yes.
I very much like the Dalek voices in this story. Compared to say, Revelation of the Daleks, they're far superior. By the time Remembrance rocked round, they'd nailed the voices again.
at the end of episode 1 i dont think that the doctor is surprised to find a dalek on the planet, i think its more played that he is surprised they can turn invisible
I feel like by the end of episode one, everyone has forgotten that the universe is on the brink of war and has instead turned the focus to whatever plot the Daleks have come up with this time.
I read thar Terry Nation hated the Dalek Emperor seen in David Whitaker's Evil of the Daleks and Terry also refused to use the Dalek Emperor seen in the comic TV Century 21 that Dalek Emperor was gold with gold spheres and also that Dalek should IMO have appeared more frequently in the classic Dalek stories
remember watching the planet of the daleks for the first omg it was the best dalek story ever still is in my book today
I have a soft spot for this story too but then I love the Pertwee era as a whole & all his Dalek stories.
I have to give my vote to Tom Bakers Genesis of the Daleks especially as it clears up a bit more of how Davros came up with them, plus I always preferred Sarah Jane Smith to Jo Grant. Jo always seemed to whine too much in my opinion. There have been few female companions who were not just screaming and running damsels in distress. During Tom Bakers time the stories got a bit darker with a victorian age Hammer House horror feel. I'm from the US but I believe this was about the time that one old woman and her group really began to attack the show. I believe this is what caused it to be canceled not long after. On Toms departure they decided to make the show more kid friendly this led to number 5 and then 6 being toned down and having to wear rediculous clown clothes with number 7 McCoys being the worse, he was a idiotic imp dancing around. It wasn't until right at the end around the time of the Fenric episode that they toned down his dumb outfit and the plot became a bit more like the old days. Number 12 and the last ones all seem to be trying to get more kid friendly again. They don't seem to understand how to let the show be more adult. Here in the states no one thinks Who is for kids. If it doesn't have kids in the cast then it's for teens and older. I'll just say one more time Tom Bakers Doctor was the best until number 9 ushered in the new era.
Anyone else notice that in episode one, The Doctor finds time to change his jacket while he's dying of suffocation?
This story is kind of a defining moment in Jo's character arc before her final adventure. You kinda have to have watched all of her time since Terror of the Autons to get it, but she's a lot braver and confident than she is in her first season. The moment where she resists the Master's hypnosis via a nursery rhyme really shows the strength of her character and how much she's grown from how easily he took control of her on their first meeting. Also her venturing to go outside on her own to get help for the Doctor and survive most of the story without him and find him by herself, again compare that with how terrified she is on her first trip in Colony in Space.
That’s true. Near the end of season 9 and the whole season 10 was so strong portrayed and well written for her. I liked her at first but now I love her. I get why she was tired in the end and just wanted home
5:55 I can only assume it took hours for those Daleks to get up that hill.
Can you believe it’s 50 years since Jon Pertwee came into Doctor Who? Wow!
"before planet of the daleks in 1963"
you could make a challenge out of spotting all the misspoken wrong years in these, I feel bad for you, I guess having to get these done 2 months in advance is going to do that to you.
8:26 - Haha, that got quite a chucke out of me XD
Did the Doctor at 1:50 just throw a person standing next to him preparing to shoot whatever comes out of the door at the the Ogron that came through the door in order to run get away with Jo? Never knew this Doctor to one to sacrifice someone.
While I do enjoy Planet of the Daleks, it always felt like there was some problem with it I had that I just couldn't figure out what it was, and I think you've hit the nail on the head. There should have been some invisible Dalek moments, and the Supreme Dalek should have shown up a lot sooner. End of Part 5 cliffhanger at the latest. It also would have been nice for it to have shared a scene with the Doctor.

I know of the legendary Jon Pertwee private cocaine party!
I think you can attribute the fact he is surprised at the end of Episode One at the reveal of the Daleks down to A)The fact they were invisible and I don't think he expected that invisible thing to be a Dalek or B)He is post-coma, its possible he was still a bit out of it
Wow, 'Planet of the Daleks' sounds better than I remember. Another great video!
Thanks for the review!
I really enjoyed Frontier in Space; wished the Draconians would return. Really liked Roger Delgado. Would have loved to see a proper sequel.
I wasn't really that interested in "Planet of the Daleks" -- the invisibility theme didn't really grab me, and it didn't really really seem like a sequel except just at the beginning (like you said).
The ice flow was not really that believable.
How can the Dr not recognise the Thal was actually a timelord , the very timelord infact that gave him that face after making him feel giddy.
Terry nation wrote the Daleks as a devious, scheming , malevolent force who could think for themselves. Also, the Dalek voices were all done by Michael Wisher .
The new effects they did for the Blu-Ray were a very mixed bag this time around. Some I really liked others I hated.
Agreed! Which did you love or hate?
For me, that landing dalek spaceship was especially yuck, it looks so so crude, particularly the ‘rocket fire’, oh my god, is this 90s CGI!? I thought the daleks decanting looked ok but so did the original effect.
I loved the new shots of the animal eyes at night, though, they looked superb, the new sprayed invisible dalek was a nice correction, and I thought most of the dalek army on ice shots looked fine (but lacking in atmosphere), until after the explosion, then that ice flow was a bit... hmmmm.
Did I miss anything?
@@Lumibear. The ship landing was by the far the best effect in the original show!
@@harrynewiss4630 yeh I was fine with it, save for the model was a tad under detailed, but that somehow suits the daleks.
The pairing gives me an idea for a serial where the doctor is caught in the middle of a war between the master and the Daleks.
Probably wouldn't work in the current canon though.
THERE is NO CURRENT canon! We go with the flow
Frontier in space and planet of the daleks alot and I am looking forward to seeing it on DVD at some point in the future
“John Pertwee’s private Cocaine party”,may very well be one of the top sentences spoken on the internet😂
I know what you are implying, but saying that "The Daleks master invisibility and we never SEE that coming into play again" is really fucking funny to me.
I bought the novelisation of this story second hand when I was about 7 and it scared the tiny piss out of me.
16:56 the second dalek bumps into the huge boulder and it moved, polystyrene boulder me thinks?
I'm pretty sure that the Doctor was saying 'Daleks' in disgust not surprise.
I feel like it was surprise in that the Dalek was invisible. He knew they were there, but not that they had this ability.
This was a great serial. Blake's 7 season 1 seemed to take many cues from it.
Same writer.
The thing that sucks about Frontier in Space is that when the story is two and a half hours and most of which is spent with the Doctor and Jo just sitting in different prison cells, there's no excuse for the ending to be this cluttered and rushed, and the fact that it's the last image we get of Delgado's Master just makes me resent the story all the more
The Dr says he abhors violence yet when he first meets Wester, not knowing that he was friendly, the first thing the Dr does is to pick up a stick to bash Wester with.
5:11 got a good chuckle out of me.
it's my birthday today :)
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday Master Of Dreams
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
So perfectly James Bond. Sounds like perfect Third doctor fodder, and they didn't follow through? I do wonder how many times they were tasked to find a new way to make a cheap prison. Weird to go 6 episodes and have no real conclusion. Planet of the daleks part 1 was my first experience finding part one of a doctor who story after years of only ever encountering part 3 or higher. I never found part two of this as a kid though. This is long before the tv movie or the reboot. It really worked a lot better for me then some of the later episodes I'd seen. Was the lack of the invisibility for the daleks down to sharing the video mixer machine with top of the pops? Also... How are you producing so much content?!!?! You must be exhausted.
The comic Doorway to Hell gives this Master a good send off
It was alright. 7/10… Idk something was lacking. Especially when the Doctor thought Jo died. No emotion whatsoever there which was out of character for the 3rd Doctor. (I blame it on his coma state from episode 1 of this serial).. ofc it was quite the remake of The Daleks from 1964.. I enjoyed it but it’s pretty forgettable. U can even tell when Pertwee is hating a serial. He stated himself he hates the Daleks and it’s showing in his acting whenever he is around a Dalek. Only thing I really loved how mature Jo was and fighted back. I even felt sorry for her. She was tired of being hunted and I understood why she wanted home after so many adventures. I was quite shocked that Jo and The 3rd Doctor didn’t interacted for TWO whole episodes. That’s insane lol
I know Frontier in Space is padded but I've personally always enjoyed the padding as its really comedic at points. I would definitely take an endearing political story with a great villian and great moments over a story with a generic atmosphere, bland sets and great villians being very basic any day. The tonal shift from Frontier to Planet is pretty much night and day in my opinion.
Yeah, 'Frontier in Space' really does drag along...
At least 'Planet of the Daleks' was a lot more fun, and it had me sitting on the edge in many moments!
Only just realised the masters badge on his costume looks like a dalek ahaha
It probably would’ve been a bit of a better reveal if the doctor said they beat us here or something
Can the Supreme dalek use it's eye as a flashlight by screaming?
The Draconians are awesome villains and they were the main villains in Buck Rogers 25th century in the first series and they were Jon Pertwees all time favourite dr who enemies and Jon Pertwee hated the Daleks and hated the Cybermen he was not fond of the Ice Warriors he found enemies like the Cybermen Daleks and Ice Warriors less interesting and less easy to interact with and he preferred humanoid enemies instead
There's something funny about us never seeing the Daleks use cloaking technology again
I respectfully disagree. I adore Planet, the characters just make it such an enjoyable watch for me. I prefer it leaps and bounds over The Daleks. One of my all time favourite Who stories and my favourie Nation script.
How dud Skaro become the daleks home planet? That was the most confusing part of Planet of the Daleks.
“Jon Pertwee’s private cocaine party” ha that cracks me up
Also a story called story called Planet of the Daleks involving the Daleks no f$*king way!
I will NOT COMMENT on this video no matter how many times you beg!!
Yes I'm a few years late on the comments. Everyone is too deep on this. It was just a bit of late Saturday afternoon tat for the kiddos imaginations. And viewing figures fight (daleks) against the only competition ITV.
Private cocaine party!!! Genius Lol
I don't think you quite grasp the dynamics of watching these episodes once a week, no rewatches. Something like Frontier in Space comes across a lot less tediously viewed that way. For example, the spacewalk while annoying and diversionary AF when binged....would actually be the highlight of your week.
Suggestion:
pick a 3rd or 4th Doc story that's considered a classic that you've not seen, and watch it on a 70s tv schedule......teatime saturday, one episode, ideally with your mum asking whether you want peas or beans with your tea at some point.
This was the first story of the lord victorious
I'm glad I'm not the only one who found Fruitier in Space interminably dull! The Draconians look amazing, but its..soooo....slooowwww....and by the time the Daleks show up I was still laughing at the belching beach ball. And the whole scene where the Master...shoots the Doctor? Or he falls and Jo states very hard at him? I swear that scene has always looked like it's missing footage or something. Love Planet of the Daleks, except for the ridiculous notion that the TARDIS could be smothered by something in the outer Plocie Box shell - I mean what happens when it's in space? Or on any planet without a breathable atmosphere? That is writing straight out of Rian Johnson's "How to Write Utter BullShite that Makes Zero Sense". Still an enjoyable romp for the most part, and love the collection of old style Dalek action figures as the Dalek Army! The powerful speech where the Doctor tells the Thaks to not make war seem exciting or fun for the next generation is the sort of reason and sober consideration of consequences that we desperately need in the world today. Good stuff, even when it has parachutes made from plastic wrap! :-)
You criticise this Darlek story for its lack of originality - which is fair enough I suppose in hindsight. But do try to remember that, unlike the relatively spohisticated contemporary series, 70's Doctor Who was aimed squarely at a school age/family friendly audience and those kids were mostly far too young to remember stuff that was broadcast back in 1963 - I know this because I can vividly recall watching this story on the day it was first broadcast at the age of ten. No story line is hackneyed to a kid on first exposure.
Furthermore, back in the day we obviously didn't have the internet and DVDs available to us and consequently had to consume our 'Who' literally one episode at a time on the day it was broadcast - while never expecting to be able to enjoy them again - the past is a foreign country they say. So stories that now seem obviously 'padded' when consumed in one long sitting were perhaps not quite such a laborious watch when taken in half hour instalments - as they were originally intended to be seen.
But putting a old man's grumpiness aside I do genuinely admire your deep knowledge and intelligent criticism of this wonderful old series, and if I seem a bit defensive of the Pertwee era it is only because this was very much peak 'Who' for me for all its faults ... not that 'The Demons' is anything less than perfect you understand!
What if he forgot that they were on spiradon
When he had that coma he forgot that they were there in the first place
Pity nWho never did a version of "War of the Daleks" a novel that follows this story up by revealing the future of Thal society where they basically become a mirror of the Daleks. That was freaking heartbreaking and even Tennant and RTD couldn't screw it up.
My geadcanon is they end up becoming the Skaro Degradations
@@ItsButterBean1020 Mine is still trying to work out how a species that barely had functioning Time travel at its height managed to win a war against a civilisation that could delete them from history in 2 minutes and 30 seconds even with the most incompetent leadership possible.
Ian Warner to be fair they did spend a lot of time getting ready
Plus even early on they had tech that could keep with the TARDIS (in the Chade)
The main thing holding the Daleks back was then not focusing on a specific race (thru fought literally everything else at some point in time) and the Time Lords forbid themselves from using half their weapons early on (and they were utterly decadent from 10 million years of absolute power)
@@ItsButterBean1020 Its still the equivalent of the Spanish Armada picking a fight with a modern type 45 destroyer whatever way you look at it. The Daleks are not and never have been the Doctor's most dangerous enemy that would be a toss up between his own people and the Eternals.
Ian Warner except the many occasions the Daleks have been reinforced as right up there which we see proved by the Time War, the fact the Time Lotds predicted it and other stuff
Also you missed a few with the Guardians and Sutekh
Daleks are crazy!
14:00 the supreme dalek didn’t give the dalek another chance.
15:21 Prepare for earrape. EXTERMINATE FOR WHAT?!
why is there no sequel of planet of the dalek.
DALEKS WILL NOT BE DEFEATED
15:20 mlg dalek lol.
I like Planet of the Daleks
Yes this is one of those stories where the ambitions are hopelessly let down by the budget. It looks cheap and a bit tatty throughout. The guest cast don't exactly set the world alight either.
Pertwee didn’t like the Daleks. He said they were silly
But I am a noble of draconia.
I think that story would have better as four parts than six. It was too drawn out.
The entire plot of Frontier in Space could be solved if they put in some cameras in the Doctor and Jo's cell like seriously so much could've been revealed there and they have the technology for it but that would have been too simple wouldn't
I'm lean as fuck and when I pressed the like button it was number 420. 😳👀👨🚀
See? This is why Daleks need more unique voices, at least pitch shift a few.
Most of pertwees stories were fillers. They need to be re cut.
I loved frontier in space but found planet of the Daleks so boring, really missed the space politics 😢
6:52 is that a fucking uruk-hai
"As the Dalek supreme is rocking some really awesome design..."
Ok I hard disagree here, I find the Dalek Supreme's color scheme ugly as hell.
I used to like this channel because it stood up to the fandom menace types, but the more reviews I listen to the more I find you actually just seem to dislike most Doctor Who stories and I'm confused why you specialise in Doctor Who them at all when you're so critical of them all. I know some people say critics have to 'critique' but your reviews are so negative by and large I have to wonder if you ever liked the show in the first place.
@@lloroshastar6347 of all the reviews of mine you could have posted this comment to...
@@MrTARDIS This happens every time I click on one of your reviews. I've not listened to all of them, but I suppose after feeling fairly upbeat broadly speaking about the most recent series with the only one I didn't like being Space Babies, and finding with this channel it felt like the only one you did like was Space Babies (or at least that's how the review came across to me), I guess I just feel like we live in opposite land even though we seem to share very similar views about the world in general. I'm probably being hyperbolic, but I did come away from the last few episodes of the most recent series really fulfilled and saw that you felt the exact opposite and it kinda dampened my spirits because 90% of the Doctor Who reviews I stumble across seem to just outright hate the show now and want it to fail. So to see a show I'm enjoying being widely demolished by critics it feels like they are willing on its cancellation. I understand you just want it to be better but I feel differently and feel that a lot of critics don't seem to understand this is more polarising and isn't as objective as it is made out to be. Maybe there are some stories you like from the classic series as well but I can't think of many, but Planet of the Daleks was one of my favourites growing up and this feels like you're totally trashing it.
Honestly Planet of the Daleks is my least favourite Classic Who Dalek story. Other messy and hokey ones had interesting stuff going on but this didn't, it's one great episode followed by five episodes of complete dullness and Nation on autopilot. It's also my least favourite Pertwee as it lacks everything that makes his era great and I dare you to find a story where the leading man gives less of a shit about being in it- you could tell Pertwee HATED the Daleks. This is a weak link in the otherwise excellent Season 10, and it gives Frontier a bad rap too when that's an excellent story. The Draconians are a fascinating race, the world building and parallels to politics at the time is great and the idea of a space war brought about by giant power blocs is a brilliant concept.
I think it's boring.
