Wow, that was a blast. Totally fun, a very engaging story, and a lot of pay-off to stuff that's been simmering since the very beginning.

9/10, easily one of the better Gallifreys I've Gallifreyed yet! My only criticism is the music and sound effects. Up until now, I found the music and SFX of Gallifrey as pretty middle of the road - not as powerful or memorable as the stuff I've heard in The War Master, but no so bad it ever really stood out to me. Here though, I found myself getting distracted by it. I remember there's one scene where there's all this lofty, soft music playing, and Romana is meanwhile having a very intense conversation. It felt like a bit of a mismatch. Additionally, there are a ton of pretty repetitive sound effects I also found distracting. Still, it's a good and entertaining audio overall. Already has made this little journey worth it!

And what a cool twist ending! I'm very glad I never looked at anything promotional or the cast on this one because the ending with "Pandora" was one hell of a cool surprise!
