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

Previous Story: Survival

Much like Ghost Light, this story is a muddled, boring mess. I barely know what happened and it's definitely not doing anything to boost my opinions of the Ice Warriors. The characters did absolutely nothing for me. I hate the way 7 acts in this story, I know the TV stuff was heading in that direction already and I didn't like it there either, it was just handled a lot better. The whole Time Lord academy stuff is just rubbish and it just doesn't feel like something the Doctor would do.

If this is where the show was going then quite frankly I'm glad it got cancelled.
