      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.              $$       --- SBBSecho 3.28-Linux        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)    |
