Desperate Measures is a perfect title for this story, given the outcome. This story is a return to 'Gallifrey' traditions, being more based around politics, rather than wartime efforts. While I haven't touched much of the Gallifrey range, I still enjoyed the political aspects of this story, and found it a fitting end to a boxset that I found worth the price. That being said, I would've preferred they explicitly refer to Valerian as 'Rassilon' after the takeover. It was a perfect surprise, though, even seven years on.
