Now, under the reforming gaze of President Romanadvoratrelundar, the oldest civilisation is ready to shed its monopoly, sharing its secrets with a coalition of the Temporal Powers the Monan Host, the Nekkistani and the Warpsmiths of Phaidon among them. But the coalition is a fragile one, and despised in some quarters. When a team of Time Technology Assessors makes a horrific discovery on the barren moon of Kikrit, it seems their enemies are arming themselves to strike at the alliance. Has a terrorist group really acquired a temporal weapon so terrible the Time Lords forgot about its existence? In search of the truth, Romana sends the woman called Leela and the robot dog K9 to the enclave of Gryben, a reception centre for temporal refugees. But the truth is war's first casualty and the fallout could destroy them all.

I feel for Leela.She's lost her husband, she's so alone yet surrounded by people who look down on her as a lesser intellect.

I loved Romana and her decisive leadership and also Leelas unique perspective that contrasted and complimented her. Very fun banter between all the characters; I really liked Brax here. K9 is delightful but I thought the slave disguise thing was a bit uncomfortable. As someone getting into Gallifrey it was a little hard to follow at times since there are so many new characters and organisations and plot threads. I imagine it would be even better if you re-listened to it later to get the full experience. However this doesn't stop it from being a super interesting introduction to the series and im excited to listen to more. (Also, they mention the Doctor occasionally which makes me very happy; they're my favourite character) aroarachnid View profile Like Liked 2 27 February 2025 · 142 words Review by Jae 1 Weapon of Choice is certainly an amazing introduction to an amazing series. I love Gallifrey so, so much, and Weapon of Choice already has so many of the threads that make it such a great series, even if that might be hard to notice on first listen. The characters are great, their banter is off the charts here and Weapon of Choice is so full of energy!! If this is your first time listening stick with it, and definitely come back around to this one because there are so many little things that are amazing and you can't even know yet. And to see where Narvin started! Such a grumpy guy. Leela and Romana are both amazing and to see them here, at the beginning of it all is wonderful. It breaks my heart how hurt they both are. Love this episode!

This is such a perfect pilot, it introduces you to the feel of this Series. It introduces, or in this case reintroduces, plenty of the Characters greatly. Lalla and Louise feel so comfortable with the Medium of Audio, you could fool me that they did 100 Stories before this one, but no just a few before if I recall correctly. While at times the pace was pretty slow, I didn't mind. And I am really surprised that they acknowledge this AWFUL ending for Leela from IoT, adding more depth to it, actually. And it has many great character Moments here, overall really enjoyed my Time with it. What it sets out to do, it does so well. ...Is it a hot take to say, that Leela aka Louise is the big standout here?
