Scheming, manipulative, old bat. An innocent young timelord is dead because of you. I forgive you, Andred. I love you, Andred. I hope Leela comes around to forgiving you too. I kinda ship Romana and Brax, tbh. CptnOfTheYellowSub View profile Like Liked 0 5 March 2025 · 193 words Review by dema1020 Spoilers 2 This review contains spoilers! Not bad, not bad at all. Big things happen in Pandora and while I can appreciate its role in moving the larger story of Gallifrey forward, I definitely also struggled to stay invested throughout the entire audio. What happened to Wynter here was pretty gut-wrenching, but didn't hit me emotionally as much as it seemed to for other people. I do feel bad for him though. The stuff with Braxiatel feels comparable. I like how this further isolates Romana's character, nicely setting up future events, and also the references to Brax starting his collection after this, but the actual execution of it all left me feeling a little hollow. I guess I still was not fully invested in Gallifrey at this point. I understand what it was going for better now that I am farther in the series, but on its own and at first, Pandora only does so much as an audio on an emotional level. Everyone puts in a good performance and the sound design around some of the more intense scenes is incredible. This is not a bad audio by any means, but definitely not one of my favourites, either. dema1020 View profile Like Liked 2 16 February 2025 · 116 words Review by RandomJoke Spoilers 2 This review contains spoilers! Pretty good. I think I prefer the former two Stories a bit more, but there is a lot to like here. I really enjoyed the Body Horror here (if I knew beforehand about the Body Horror, I might have hoped to have more of it, but I didn’t so it worked well, probably even better for me). Like others already pointed out, the Scheming in this one is quite a Highlight too, probably the strongest Outing in regard of the political Aspect compared to the others. The Biggest Highlight is the Human Greeting Scene, it’s amusing! Also love how much they do with Bellingham’s Darkel in this Series, and this one in particular.

I do think this is the strongest episode yet in regards to the political schemes and mind games, which is really good, I feel like Darkel has done a lot to increase that. Love to hate her. The main mystery of the broken man’s identity is done so well! Absolutely heartbreaking!! Wynter is such a kind character and he had such promise! I already got attached to him Proud of myself for figuring it out before the characters though. It’s so horrible and I love it. Tbh though, the squelching was bad but with everybody’s warnings I did expect it to go on longer. I feel like the extended whimpering last episode was worse emotionally. Also Brax!!! Love him. So much interesting stuff on him and especially him and Romana! I hope he doesn’t stay away for too long. Also will forever be going insane about Leela/Andred.
