Last night on Tubi they featured the first two serials of the three
serial Black Guardian story arc. I had never seen either of these
before, nor had I ever seen any Fifth Doctor stories before.
Last night on Tubi they featured the first two serials of the three
serial
Black Guardian story arc. I had never seen either of these before, nor
had I
ever seen any Fifth Doctor stories before.
The last part of Terminus ends on somewhat of a cliffhanger that I
assume was
resolved in the next serial, Enlightenment, but as Tubi skipped ahead
to the
next serial, The King's Demons, I am not sure.
*Potential SPOILERS follow*
After the last episode ended, I realized the fate of a couple of
characters
introduced for the Terminus serial were left open-ended. When we last
see the
pirates Kari and Olvir, they are discussing how they might get back to
their
own ship, and Kari indicates that she has an idea. However, the
episode ends
without us seeing how this apparent dilemma was resolved, and the
TARDIS fandom
wiki page indicates that these two characters are never seen again.
Since
Olvir played a part in rescuing Nyssa, I was disappointed to learn
that.
It also ended before we learned how the Doctor and his companions fixed
the
TARDIS -- which had been tampered with by someone at the request of the
Black
Guardian -- but that is part of the cliffhanger that I assume did
carry over
to the next serial.
Also sounds like the TARDIS never visits Terminus again. The TARDIS
wiki
indicates that it was referenced in one of the Fifth Doctor audio
stories, but
the page for that story -- the Cradle of the Snake -- does not mention
Terminus
at all.

Are you in the USA? If not I am pretty sure that is why you were not
seeing it when you search for it. That likely means someone else has
the
rights to broadcast it in your area.

The Eternals called the Doctor a Time Dweller.

They called us all Ephemerals, didn't they? To them, the
Doctor was just another creature trapped within time.
