(I honestly liked this one a bit more over the last one, which was great, no doubts, but there is something about this one).

I really enjoyed the Slice of Life Angel we kinda take with those Academy Figures, that was an absolute delight and really a delightful surprise for me. Surprise surprise Louise as Leela is great again here?? Who would have thought? I did enjoy hearing Romana having a Breakdown, and that ending makes me quite curious about the next Story! And again like once pointed out this Series gives Lalla as Romana even more to do, which is always something I welcome with open arms.

Overall, this one is yet another very good Entry in the Gallifrey Series (I fear I am starting to be converted into a Fan-Fan of it with the amount of me saying good Things about a Range/Series of Who this consistently.)

I do love how much we experiment here with this Series, can I just say that? It’s pretty neat, I think!

What is there to say? Romana has a mental breakdown of gigantic proportions and it is not done, the students are wonderful and everything happening to them is terrible, Leela is amazing, her identity as an outsider is played amazingly with the students, I am going insane about the tragedy of Leela and Andred, the politics are getting even more breathtakingly tense. In short, what the hell how do these keep being so good!! This ties with Spirit for my favourite yet

I very much like the slice of life aspect of this. It was very cool hearing about life at the Time Lord academy and there's some really good build-up for Darkel here. 8/10 - great overall but a little disjointed in the narration and pacing.  It's good but some scenes sat with me better than others.

The whole thing with Pandora and Imperiatrix feels fine but on the heels of Neverland and Zagreus, it does feel like we are treading very similar ground with the usual dark reflection of the Doctor now being transposed onto Romana instead.  That side of things feels less fun and original, which is harder to really be excited about.  I can't say I'm as excited for the finale as I think I should be.

Enjoyed Romana’s storyline. I could have done without the rest.

A great view into the lives of regular people on Gallifrey.

A lot of the previous stories had been talking about civil unrest and the conflict that Romana opening up the academy had caused, but it's one thing hearing about it, another seeing it from the front lines.

The core cast we get here are immensely relatable, you can so easily see this friendship group existing at school, so easily put yourself in their shoes, and so easily understand when everything starts to fall apart.

Leela is also just a brilliant teacher, you can see why Brax thought she'd be a good fit, but you can also understand her motivations when she wants to leave at the end of the story. The moments she has with Andred are also great for character, she's starting to understand, but she can't forgive everything that's happened. Her talking about Trauma and how on her planet it would just be seen as a sign of weakness, even if backtracking on it and saying how her thoughts have changed, shows a sharpness and harshness to her that we don't really get to see often.

Romana as well is great here, her interactions with the future Pandora are interesting, and that final moment of her deciding that she's the president and she's going to put her foot down are great. Not here much, but what we get is great.

And god, Darkel continues to be such a lovable yet hatable villian, I can't wait for this to keep going.
