Classic!Who s8-Terror of the Autons

[flowsoffire]

And I've reached it! Or I've reached them, I should say: Jo Grant, Mike Yates, and the Master :D The (new) cast pretty much made this episode. There is Jo, who is the adorablest little cutie. So different from Liz, enough that they just don't compete: Jo is the sweetest, Liz was epic and their brilliance just coexists. So yes, Jo makes quite the

Three: "The military mind at its most scintillating. Faced with a problem they blast it off the face of the earth."

Doctory accuracy FTW!

Three: "You've come here to kill me, of course."
Master: "But not without considerable regret."
Three"How very comforting."

Cute! ^.^ That should take the sting out of being killed. Not so much...

Also, I haven't seen too far into this one yet. But I really liked Jo in what little I was able to see. She seems like a sweetheart. And I loved when the Doctor wanted to get rid of her, and the Brig was, like, "You tell her"...and he couldn't bring himself to. I was, all, "Come on, Doctor; you know you haven't got the hearts to do that to that sweet girl!"

Haha, you bet it would! :D

Jo is so very sweet, indeed! I loved that moment, too :D

You know, the new series gets a lot of praise for having good dialogue, but Classic Who is chock full of fantastic dialogue

It really, really does! All Doctors had such wondrous snark, and they're not the only ones by far.

I love Jo. She often doesn't get the credit she deserves. She may not be a genius like Zoe and Liz, but she has her own genius, made from sheer determination and an ability to use what she has to the utmost effect. Whether it's jollying difficult men along, ignoring stupid orders, or simply doing what needs done while everyone else sits around and just talks about it, Jo is an amazing Companion and adds a great deal to this era. She is cute as a button, but she's so much more. And I agree, she and Liz stand side by side in both being awesome, but in completely different ways. (As Sarah is as well when she comes along.)*nods along* This so much! The new show plays a lot on non-genius companions with their very own brand of intelligence or efficiency besides, so it'd be really unfair to deny classic companions the

(*Look at the Doctor and Master's relationship, and compare it to the Doctor and Brigadier, both are friends/brother's relationships, yet each is so similar yet so completely different. Neither the Brig nor the Master will let the Doctor get away with anything, there's always arrogance and banter and disagreement, yet also respect in both relationships, and yet, they are so different.
The parallel is just wonderful, yes. The show certainly shows the friction between the Doctor and the Brigadier, and there is much potential in that as well.

She's a bit in awe of the Brigadier, dating Yates, and almost brotherly with Benton.
*roars joyfully* I could SO see that coming from their very first episode ♥ Oh, it will be too cute!

Benton and Yates' comradeship, and their different ways of dealing with the Doctor or the Brigadier.
I was hoping the boys would have more room, yes :D

The interpersonal relationships of this whole group are fascinating and interesting to watch. They are all very much a family yet it's nothing domestic. *is

I love that we both react to Liz and Jo the same way, equal awesomeness.

:D *high fives*

Ha, the original Master is quite the politest villain ever! :-)

I'm glad you coped with the loss of Liz - I thought somehow you would.

[flowsoffire]

I'm so in love with polite, classy villains! :D

And sure-we always miss them, but there is always more greatness coming, so that helps! :D Change and renewal, change and renewal.
