That's one chuffing big m4b file - wondering whether to split it down into separate episodes for easier listening  Cheers Tony |

I have to say, I have some deeply mixed feelings about this one.
I've been dying for this release ever since Intervention Earth, and was so happy that it finally came out. And to listen through it -- it is an absolutely top-shelf production, remarkably clever/thought-out, well acted, and did I mention mind-bendingly clever? Part of my brain wants to whoop and call this a 10/10 triumph of a release, which is no small feat for a Gallifrey title.
But another part of my brain just keeps nagging at me, WHY? Intervention Earth was just one hell of a story, engaging beginning to end, and filled with fabulous performances--not least of which was the commanding presence of Stephen Thorne's Omega. We're left on a whopper of a cliffhanger for a year! And then along comes Enemy Lines and just..."nah forget all that"? I get that it rewrote history, but I found myself wishing they could've done that without completely throwing out everything that Intervention Earth got right, it makes things feel like such a waste to have done it like this.
I almost wish this was the culmination of a trilogy; part 1 being IE, part 2 featuring the Omega crisis/war and everyone turning on Romana Trey, leading directly to her sending Brax on the mission that starts part 3: Enemy Lines.

I was also a bit disappointed that it was one giant m4b.
Had just enough time to get it ported over to my Mp3 player so I could listen on the way to work. Got through the first two segments... so far, not sure what to say about if I like it or not... except it's nice to have a return to the vibe of the early Gallifrey series.

I hoped you were exaggerating, but, nope, Episode 2 basically opens with "Well it's a good thing we prevented all that Omega stuff from happening! And now for something completely different!" Was hoping for more Landau and Omega. :/ I'm only halfway through the set, so I guess there's still time, but still... |

This was one of the best Gallifrey stories so far. The final episode was really confusing, but I still enjoyed it. i'm just a bit confused about what happenned in the final timeline. How did Narvin know about the plot with the ambassador and the Castellan? And why was Brax expecting the Watchmaker if it never killed Narvin and Ace?

I thought it was implied that Romana came back to Gallifrey from the Moros (for the 3rd? time), only this time armed with the foreknowledge of the Pandax bombing and Plutus's scheme, so she pointed Narvin and the appropriate parties to the necessary evidence to see them arrested and events averted. As to Brax and the Watchmaker...yeah that's a bit more sticky, given that he didn't experience the same negated timeline that Romana did courtesy of the Watchmaker. My best guess is that he knows/believes in the legends of Gallifrey strongly enough that he knew it was a possibility she would come for him eventually, given the sheer number of paradoxes and temporal phenomena surrounding his entire existence. |

He experienced everything right up until everybody died saving the universe, and still remembered everything once the universe reset? Orrrrr this is a great excuse to listen to the whole thing again  |

I'm not sure I get everything either, I'll need to relisten to it as well. Maybe together with Intervention Earth.
I do wonder, though, if the fact that they did not continue the Omega storyline itself might have something to do with rights issues connected with Omega being used in the upcoming K9 movie. Note that K9 does not appear in Enemy Lines either, and while he is in recent Fourth Doctor Adventures, these tend to be recorded well in advance, and John Leeson does suspiciously disappear from cast lists halfway through the upcoming series 6...

I'm not up to date yet with the Gallifrey series but was wondering in what order i should listen to Intervention Earth & Enemy Lines when i get to them? Do i go in release order or do i listen to Enemy lines first as it features Rommana II not Trey?
