Saw
The Abominable Snowmen over the weekend. Rather dull. To be honest, I've kinda gone off the animations. I loved the
Power SE,
Shada (though I've always loved
Shada and the cartoony style suited that story) and
Fury, but have really struggled with most of the rest. It could be the fault of the stories themselves, but I have a similar issue with the animated eps of
The Ice Warriors, which I otherwise really enjoy. But the animations - which are very similar to the prevaling style of the last few years, as opposed to something like
The Moonbase - completely lack the atmosphere of the live-action eps, which I can't help but think is also the case here. I mean, I've always liked the extant eps of
Evil,
Faceless and
Snowmen but the animations just don't capture the feel. I'm not entirely sad they're done for the moment, to be honest, and if they come back I feel they need to be a lot better...
