	For conversion into full article:		For conversion into full article:

			* Good supporting cast, though the early scenes in the debating chamber are cringeworthy.
			* Still using CSO - looks a little better than the Pertwee era but not by much.
			* 'Ardent pragmatists' is a good way to describe the mercenaries.
			* Fixing K-9 takes most of episode one - doesn't seem to be any plot point to this.
			* Time looping is annoying, repeating the same clip again and again. Feels like a cheap way of padding.
			* Romana is so whiney in this story, e.g. 'I was only trying to help'.
			* Scene of initial exit from spacecraft is well done.
			* Getting out of the time loop by repeating the actions seemed a bit of a cop-out.
			* Romana being attacked by a plant is a terrible effect. As is often the case with these scenes (e.g. Sarah attacked by a cybermat in [[Revenge of the Cybermen]]), it's clearly the case that the actor is manipulating the prop and effectively attacking herself.
