In the wake of Civil War, Gallifrey stands more vulnerable than at any time in its controversial history. The other temporal powers orbit the ancient Time Lord society, poised and ready to take control.

Too good of a story. Love the themes. This is my introduction to Paul Sutton, and so farā¦ heās a pretty great writer! Return of Colin Baker was very pleasing. I think everyone by now knows this theory, but I still got to say that Colin Bakerās appereance is just one of the standart appereances of Time Lords. He could play any Time Lord! So letās presume the next incarnation of Rani is played by himā¦ /j Tense political thriller with great character developmentā¦ Itās 10/10 in my book!
A great little chapter, more character-focused and a bit calmer after a couple of intense chapters. I love how it builds effectively to the next big confrontation, whih plays out in Mindbomb.
But it is now I start to understand the love for Narvin.
It really is amazing how Narvin just āsneaks up on youā 
I absolutely love him, especially in the āTime Warā and āWar Roomā eraš
I have lost my Gallifrey flow. I have one episode of Box 3 left to listen to. Might pick it up when my vacation is over and I have to commute to work again.
Iāve caught up with you then 
Iām probably finishing Series 3 next week and then moving on to Series 4 (because I donāt have to wait several years to get to itā¦).
ahaā¦ one of my least favourite episodesā¦ for a civil war, it is incredibly slow and boringā¦ Thereās some interesting political manouvering but Leela gets almost entirely forgotten about and Romana spends most of the time incapacitated. Iām glad others are loving this one but I have always found it to be dull and nothingy.
There are some excellent moments though, like Narvin pledging his loyalty to Romana, and āshe does need my sympathies she has Leelaā #codependecy for the win
Iāve been biting my tongue sooo hard not to say anything in advance about the end of s3 to try not to bias anyone but letās just say it is not my favourite.
That said, Mindbomb rocks though
Itās certainly slower than the others, but the performances kept it going for me.
Hard agree! Thatās a criminal offence!
Oh no!
Oh yes!
Just finished this and the best description I have is just āfineā. Bit above the standard for general doctor who audios Iād say, but definitely under the very high standard that Gallifrey so far has set. I enjoyed it and the Romana stuff was amazing, Lalla Ward is really good at that breathy exhaustion, and I loved the way she sold those political twists, appointing herself her successor but honestly, someone give Romana a break. There was a lot of use of law and legalities in this one and to be honest, I found that very confusing, Iāll see if I get that better after a second listen but quite honestly I think Iāll need to start drawing diagrams if I want to get that. I missed Leela, it felt like she was barely in this one, but her moments with Narvin were wonderful. Narvin in general is wonderful here, heās really started to shine in his loyalty to Romana.
Darkel is starting to really annoy me. It was fun having her around for a bit, but sheās overstayed her welcome and itās time for her to be written out.
Well, hang in thereā¦
Just learned that Captain Henzil is played by writer John Dorney.
This was a great episode. Darkel and Valyes make a fun pair to hate. Matthias is quite the schemer, and I love it. Leela and K9 somewhat take a backseat in this one. Narvin shines of course and Romana continues to be front and center. Canāt wait to see everyoneās thoughts on next weekās episode.
It was good. Very meh for me and kinda circular with some really ridiculous loopholes.
MAXIL.
Thatās all.
Really enjoyed this one. Darkelās constant twisting and semantics to gain the upper hand is so infuriating - in a good way. I honestly canāt remember her fate so Iām looking forward to what happens in the last two stories.
Leela is as people have said, rather sidelined but I think thatās okay as the focus of this story is on the temporal powers and Darkel trying to gain the upper hand - again - with Romana being forced to be just as manipulative with the law.
It is also interesting to see how subtly Narvin moves over to the ārightā side. It isnāt a sudden change of heart. Itās a gradual, quite realistic development of his character.
I just relistened to this one, and I actually like it a lot more now! The main thing I didnāt like the first time was how confusing and rather boring the politics were for me, and the way that made the ending feel out of nowhere. But now, knowing what it leads to, Matthiasā way of slowly amassing the specific powers he needs seems really ingenious and recontextualizes a lot of what happened to me. Also, just Narvinās loyalty. The way he is now so fully in support of Romana is incredible
You think heās a loyal little puppy nowā¦ ourgghhhh 
Mid listen, loving this already, but had to pause for a second to just come here and say Colin!!!
