FIRST IMPRESSIONS: “SQUARE ONE”

This second chapter of the Gallifrey saga sees Romana attend a top-secret summit between the universe’s time-travelling powers while Leela and K9 investigate the powers of Free Time.

The story is slightly easier to get into than the opening installment, as it's more focused on its two plots and a smaller pool of characters. Leela’s investigation is the most interesting part of this, as it carries tension and mystery, with a few fun moments as well. The time slip stuff provides a fun extra twist to the story.

The political stuff most likely pays off later down the line, but at this point, it still feels a bit confusing. The performances and music are very good.

The final stretch creates good tension, as everything is revealed in a sort of Agatha Christie-style scene. Still, there is something about this that doesn’t quite grab my attention as effectively as the first part did.
