Enjoyment: A lot of things are done surprisingly well in this story. Sadly, the plot is not one of them.  People just wander around in the sewers for six episodes. And not being able to see the first yeti story (this is a sequel, and the original is lost) leads to a lot of basic questions not being answered (such as, "What the hell is this villain?" or, "Why is that robot so fluffy and huggable?").
