Keeper of Traken is a lot of things. There is a theater type quality to it with the costume and sets. This is the last serial for a while where there are no Earthling companions. Of course, this episode had no Romana.
The return of the Master is the most notable highlight in my opinion. Out the Ashes of the Deadly Assassins, and I do mean Ashes, the Master returns at his most desperate, grasping on to any chance of an extended lifespan.
We also have the introduction of a new companion, Nyssa. She's as delightful as ever, which makes the conclusion of this serial rather sad, for the Doctor's foe wears the body of Nyssa's father. Up until this point, this maybe the worst thing the Master has every done on Camera.

Check out this episode!
Catwoman stole something from the vaults of Terracare that has lead to the kidnapping. The Birds are a little hesitant about contacting Catwoman. They don't know how she might react with them telling her that she is going to have to return the jewels back to Terracare. Batgirl was right. As you can see above, Catwoman for one, didn't appreciate the ruse that Batgirl played on her, which involves the Batman, and Batgirl placing her nose in Catwoman's business. I'm totally surprised that Bruce played that game. He will answer to Selina later, I'm sure.
Straight Outta Gallifrey is back! Warriors' Gate is the topic of episode 44. Unfortunately, this is good bye to Romana, as far as on screen appearances are concerned. The adventures of Romana will continue to be a topic of discussion with the Big Finish audio plays and beyond. Lalla Ward and Mary Tamm both deserve praise for breaking such new ground with playing the first returning, mainstay Time Lady. See Straight Outta Gallifrey's review of The Invasion of Time, where we discuss the first every on screen Time Lady.
