Leela and Romana are brilliant in this one in my opinion and especially as a character piece on Leela it’s quite interesting. I do think this is an intriguing narrative to explore the objectification Leela faces, but I do feel as if she’s a bit too naive for it to really work well. With a few minor tweaks this could have been brilliant. Nonetheless, Leela’s intelligence and Romana’s trust in her carry this audio. Also I wasn’t quite expecting this series to be quite so explicit(for lack of a better word), but I like it. There’s again some political intrigue which is very cool, but mildly hindered by the fact that I keep forgetting who’s who. And it uses time loops and quite brilliantly too, I think.
All in all, a strong story with strong characters and some problems, a bit weaker than the first for me though.

Oh boi… this one was one I sat for a while, was it bad? No.
Was it good? Also, no.
Many already explained it quite well, while the Story itself is good, how Leela is handled is quite off-putting and feels very much like they forgot how smart Leela is and well putting her in this Situation is quite off-putting.
While the Time Travelling Aspect of it all and the Idea on the Paper isn’t really bad, I think the Script needed a few reworking when it comes to the whole exotic dancer angel.
For me, this is a perfectly well-made story in its execution. Louise and our Leads are great in it and do a great Job. There are some great Scenes, especially with Lalla and Louise. The Side Cast does a decent, solid Job, nothing too outstanding but nothing terrible.
I appreciate that Gallifrey early on tries to touch on more explicit matters, but I think it was done in a very mixed Way.
This one is a tricky one to properly articulate, all I will say is to give the Reviews from others a Read, they bring up plenty of great Points!

How Leela was used in the story was fairly off-putting.

Yeah this is an interesting one.

On the one hand, the time loop stuff is really interesting, I like the motivations of the main antagonist being wanting to do the right thing but for all the wrong reasons, I like the murder mystery aspect of it, especially with there being so many different things going on all with different explanations so it's one red herring after another. I like the reveal of what's really going on with this conference in the end.

And then there's the misogyny. On the one hand, (at least most of) the explicit misogyny is from explicitly vile characters, and is never treated as a good thing which, you know, it shouldn't be. If you're going to have ex-o-tic dancers being called sluts and bitches in a story like this, it should be shown as a bad thing. But then there's the implicit misogyny. Leela is forced into this role as an exotic dancer against her will, forced to perform for the whims of others, and while she feels uncomfortable doing so and the misogyny directed towards her as she does is explicitly bad, it's still framed in an almost tantalizing way. If this were on TV, you can tell they'd be using Leela in this story as, to paraphrase a well known JNT quote, something the dads will enjoy.

I really want to like this story, and I think without all that it'd be an 8/10, but with it, I have to give it a 6.

I had quite a bit of fun with Square One.  There's definitely some really dated aspects to the writing I did not find endearing.  The way Leela is treated as an exotic dancer was often uncomfortable and I really didn't appreciate how Romana would refer to these performers as sluts and whores.  Sometimes you can just tell when a script was written by a guy.  In spite of those moments, the story, and idea of Leela infiltrating a peace summit was all pretty good and memorable.  I definitely feel the end detail of it all being some sort of fake summit to divert assassins a little unnecessary as a plot point, but the main focus of the story is Leela trapped in this potential time loop, while assassinations, intrigue, and sabotage are all in play.  That stuff, which is, to be fair, the main focus of this story, is all done really well.  We have a lot of good performers to back that story up, and ignoring some of the more unsavoury elements of the script, there is a good story to be enjoyed at the core of this plot line.  I was a little weary of us continuing with the Time Lords sharing power with these new races, but this was a unique and new take on the idea.  Not bad overall, in spite of some awkward elements.
