The Ice Warriors - Six

The final episode, and it sort of staggers to a finish. A bit of excitement, but not much, as the Ice Warriors end up retreating to their spaceship and are defeated. Leader Clent is decidedly past the bend, but is not totally gone, he's OK by episode's end. Something about Miss Garrett reminds me of T'Pol from "Enterprise". Not sure exactly what, though. Jamie really has little to do in this episode, much less this story. Was it his turn for a week's vacation? He gets knocked out real early on, then is looked after and dragged around and spends time in the infirmary. Almost like "The Moonbase".

In conclusion, this incomplete story (which gets a wrap-up here anyway) is simply OK. A really good first episode, then it meanders and moseys along to a finish. As always, Troughton shines and gives any scene he's in a boost. He really does frantic energy well. Our next episode is the only surviving episode of the Monster Season's monsterless "The Enemy of the World". I'll really be glad when I don't have to refer to any more "only surviving episode" situations. That'll be a little while yet, though.
