Review of Hot Ice by Newt5996

This review contains spoilers!

Christopher Bulis writing for the Fifth Doctor and Peri already led to The Ultimate Treasure which is one of the early Past Doctor Adventures that is squarely a miss in terms of a story.  “Hot Ice” fares better, but doesn’t fare particularly well.  It’s a story that is just kind of there, the Doctor and Peri are actually quite well characterized but it’s also the second time Bulis has written a story that feels like the first time Peri is taking a trip in the TARDIS.  This is particularly messy of as tory and ends very much with a Warriors of the Deep style there should have been another way that feels somehow less earned.  5/10.
