Winter for the Adept is another dud for the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa. The initial story is interesting, and there are good ideas sprinkled throughout. But sadly, it just doesn't turn into anything good. It just turns into laborious scenes of people discovering something and talking about it in a room. The characterisation seems off as well. Nyssa, for some reason, is a whiny mess here.

The guest cast does a good job with what they are given, but really even they can't save it. It was interesting hearing Peter Jurasik in a role other than Londo in Babylon 5.

Overall, I think it's just a boring, and forgetful adventure that fails to live up to its initial idea.
