Recced because:Let me count the ways...

1. This was the first someone-else-in-a-pocket-watch story I read, and it was inspiring.
2. This was much, much better than "The Last of the Timelords".
   1. a better plot, which made a lot more sense
   2. a different but interesting origin of the Toclafane (this story was written in the week between "The Sound of Drums" and "The Last of the Timelords", which was a feat in itself).
3. UNIT!
4. Former companions! Particularly Ace, Liz and Jo.
5. Romana!
6. And Martha did rock, too.
7. Snark, banter, and good characterisation.
