As my brother discussed briefly in
the post on episode one, a central theme of The
Curse of Peladon is that of fear. Throughout the episode a climate of fear
is created in order to force compliance upon others. The main villains of the story use various tactics to enforce the concept
that Peladon joining the galactic federation would be of great consequence. The
climate of fear created makes for an outstanding and ever relevant plot, adding
extra depth and enduring value to an amazing value. It encourages the audience
to think on their own society, and whether or not the decisions being made are
what is best, or what is encouraged by fear, one does not need to look very
hard in our current society to note some similarities.
