This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: Mistfall

"Not my cup of tea", is how I would describe this story. It's got so much going for it; the the beautiful setting of Isenfel, the mystery of the black snow, great performances from the cast. All that and yet it ends up feeling so generic. Maybe it's partly due feeling like this 'Older Nyssa' stuff has dragged on. Maybe it is just dull but at the end of the day, it's not my cup of tea.

One thing I do appreciate in this story, is the dynamic between the characters. Especially between Nyssa and the Doctor here, she's tired of him always getting involved and trying to fix things for the better when that sometimes just isn't possible. It's a really nice moment and one I think is very fitting of the Fifth Doctor.

Overall, you've got a solid story that I'm sure other people will be able to find a lot of pleasure out of, just not me. And I have to say, I'm just excited for the 'Older Nyssa' arc to end.
