Classic Rewatch: Terminus

As we take another grimacing look into the Black Guardian’s manipulation of Turlough, it’s Nyssa who leaves us concerned by the story’s end.

It’s the tale of Medusa brought to 21st-century England, but with an alien twist and a phalanx of creepy nuns to boot.

Joined by friend Don Klees of Acorn Media, we revel in the time-manipulations and character performances of this Season 20 gem.

The zipper gets pulled back on an alien invasion that feels right at home in a youth sci-fi story that doesn’t try to take itself too seriously.

With a rattle and a hiss, and a pair of sweet crystal pendants, we return to Tegan’s ‘little problem’ with the Mara.

There are secrets in the Bubble Shock production warehouse, but we soon learn they’re nothing compared to the secrets within 13 Bannerman Road.

Season 20 drops us into the middle of a right mess: identity theft on Gallifrey, terror in the Netherlands, and a certain renegade Time Lord.

Across 58 minutes of near-constant emotional trauma, we complete the final installment of RTD’s devastating third season of Torchwood.

Season 19 closes with a story that has too much of some things, not enough of others, and a thing or two that never should have been.

With all the horrific dominoes now in place, it’s time for things to begin crashing down on our Torchwood team…and everyone in their immediate area.
