** The dog-headed alien with red lights for eyes. Yes, it's the NarmGarm!Garm!
** The first episode cliffhanger should have been a tense moment with the main characters surrounded by victims of a horribly infectious plague. Instead, it ends up being reduced to hilarity by Olvir's incredibly over-the-top shout of "We're all going to DIEEEEEEEE!"
** After Olvir fights off Valgard, he turns to where Nyssa was chained up, and cries out in despair after finding out that the Garm has taken her away. Except that the Garm hasn't actually walked off-camera yet, giving the unwittingly hilarious impression that Olvir's just too lazy to try looking around for her.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: A common complaint about this story is that, although there are no truly evil on-screen characters (other than the Black Guardian) and little in the way of violence, the general tone is very dour and joyless.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The general opinion is that the serial has the makings of a classic, with some fantastic ideas and imagery - working class Norse gods, a wolfman from a dead universe, ADayInTheLimelight for Nyssa - undercut by production problems, dodgy costumes and Eric Saward cutting huge chunks of the script and rewriting dialogue in a pseudo-Wagnerian tone the direction didn’t support.

** Nyssa once again demonstrates her priorities:
-->'''Doctor:''' It'll be good to see the TARDIS again.\\
'''Nyssa:''' And Tegan!
** Despite knowing the Doctor longer and having spent more time with him--all those adventures while Tegan was on Earth--Nyssa is able to remain calm and collected while saying goodbye to him, asking him politely not to be upset and to let her leave in good faith, to part as friends. Then she has to say goodbye to Tegan and breaks down ''sobbing'' into her chest.
** Tegan's horrified head-shaking in the background when Nyssa tries to tell her that she's chosen to stay on Terminus, and her desperation when she asks the Doctor not to let Nyssa stay on Terminus to die, and her growing realization that Nyssa's really not coming with them. By the time Nyssa asks them to stop trying to convince her so they can part as friends, loud angry defiant Tegan Jovanka can barely manage to whisper "...Please, Nyssa...?" And of course, their tearful goodbye.
-->'''Tegan:''' She'll die here.\\
'''Nyssa:''' ''[voice breaking]'' Not easily, Tegan. Like you, I'm indestructible.
