Dead Center (Skirting “Terminus”)

Doctor Who explains the Big Bang! That’s an ambitious idea, and not one you’d expect to be shoehorned into an episode about space lepers journeying to a vast space station that promises not just a cure for their disease but also the opportunity to play with the biggest dog you’ve ever seen. Still, Terminus goes for it, soldiering on through plot holes the size of a supercluster to explain how all of creation came into existence, plus how Tegan and Turlough can somehow command tons of screen time yet do absolutely nothing. Other conundrums include: Why does Nyssa want to stay here? And where can I write to Terminus HR about their "murder people on sight" policy? Hang onto your skirts, Lazars, this is going to be a bumpy one.
