The Time Monster really is an iconic Classic Who serial -

Lots of people have to say "TOMTIT" repeatedly with straight faces

The Master announces himself by saying "I'm sorry about your coccyx too, Miss Grant"

The Doctor does backwards Twin Peaks Red Room speak

Mike gets charged by a guy with a lance, shot at with a canon and blown up by a V2 all in the space of five minutes

Sgt Benton (who is supposed to be on leave) I) manages to grasp a complex space time concept nobody else understands II) does not quite manage to eat a marmalade sandwich III) manages to get the jump on the Master twice IV) gets turned into a baby

There are some scientists of the week bickering about women's lib for no real reason

The Master cucks the King of Atlantis

The Brig gets so worried about Captain Yates he calls him Mike

The Doctor tells Jo about the time he was existentially depressed as a child and it's really sweet

Jo attempts to blow herself, the Master, and the Doctor up to save the universe because the Doctor can't bring himself to

When she wakes up she assumes she's I) dead II) 'in heaven or somewhere' and is fine with it - "groovy isn't it"

The Doctor insists on taking personal responsibility for The Master again over him facing external consequences and of course he escapes *sigh*

Kronos says gender is meaningless "But you're a girl" "Shapes mean nothing"

There's a minotaur

Jo grant at companion support meetings

"And i suspose it was quite unfair of the timelords to put the doctor in the 70s of all times. And they mustve known the master would show up too. God knows theyd follow each other every where. I just think if their inital meeting was somewhere a bit less homophobic, and a bit more progressive i could sorted them out in five minutes with a marriage counselor"

Every other companion choking on water: with a *what*

[penny-anna]

I think the master probably showed up to Jo Grant's wedding in a paper thing disguise and when asked who he was answered 'oh let's just say I'm... An old friend'. When Jo was like 'i know it's you' he was like 'nooo you don't'

Everyone from UNIT wanted to kick him out but Jo was like no leave him be you'll ruin the reception so they just watched him suspiciously all day waiting for him to start shit but he never did.

Just a proving flight.

Jo, at the companion support group: It's been great, but I ought to be going in a few minutes. My ride will be here soon.

Ace: I've never asked - how do you manage to attend our meetings when you spend all your time trekking through the Amazon and are banned from most private airlines?

Jo: Oh, well, TARDISes make quick work of the Atlantic.

Mel: So he still comes back for you, after all this time?

Jo: I don't think he'd ever have the heart to abandon me. I suppose he misses when I worked at UNIT and saw him so much more often.

Liz: It was fun, being with him and UNIT, wasn't it?

Jo: Yes, it really was. I think he's quite a lot bark, but he never did have all that much of a bite.

Martha: Oh, your one had a bit of bark, did he?

Jo: Never at me, of course! He was always a charmer when it came to me.

Tegan: A charmer. Sweet. That lines up with how I remember him.

Jo: I know! But nobody ever took me seriously when I said so. Nobody at UNIT apart from me ever really saw the Master the way I did.

Every single companion: The wHAT?

[natequarter]

jo grant's house would be full of inspirational coffee mugs and doormats and signs that say horrible things like LIVE LAUGH LOVE and STRESS LESS, LAUGH MORE and WORLD'S BEST PANTOMIME VILLAIN (a gift for the master that he politely declined). i know this to be true.

[roseofithaca]

The Master: Your precious Earth was burning but I managed to save Miss Grant! You're welcome!

The Doctor: Why was it burning?

The Master:

The Master: I managed to save Miss Grant! You're welcome!!

Jo is the audience surrogate of season 8-10 of Classic Who not because she has to have sci-fi concepts explained to her, but because she vocally ships Threegado

[joryakukumber]

Sweet girls in cute dresses :}

[bluesunflowerz]

So thats terror of the autons basically, right?

[funeralgreys]

[oxideblack]

[unfortunateearthling]

Is this anything

[dragons-are-epic]

In Frontier in Space, the Master tries to use a device on Jo that will make her see him as her greatest fears, but Jo manages to resist its effects by repeating to herself that the device does not work on her and it's really just the Master.

Let me emphasise: Jo defeats a device that weaponises fear by telling herself it's the Master who is using it.

[alltoowellsscarf]

Jo Grant is the most long suffering companion. First day on the job her new work bestie's ex shows up, doesn't leave, and spends the next few months trying to get his attention by threatening to destroy the planet and then offering him a share of the universe. Then she accidentally becomes sort of friends with said evil ex and just wishes they talk it out.
