Terrible Zodin: Difference between revisions

Zodin was involved in an adventure in which the Doctor interacted with multiple incarnations of himself. After this she erased their memories of the incident using "mind rubbers", preventing the later Doctors involved from remembering having experienced the events before. ([[MA]]: ''[[Cold Fusion]]'')

This did not prevent the Doctor from remembering enough of the affair to frequently bore people to sleep with long-winded accounts of it, although he was incapable of recalling whether she was assisted in her schemes by [[mutant kangaroo]]s or by [[giant grasshopper]]s. ([[NA]]: ''[[Legacy]]'')

[[Jamie McCrimmon|Jamie]] ([[PDA]]: ''[[The Colony of Lies]]'') and [[Mel]] both experienced the incident ([[MA]]: ''[[Millennial Rites]]'').

When the Doctor's [[Second Doctor|second incarnation]] visited a [[UNIT]] reunion in the early-mid [[1980s]], he described Zodin to [[Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart]] and indicated the Brigadier would have his own encounter with Zodin alongside the Doctor in his personal future. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'') The Brigadier, however, may have assisted [[Iris Wildthyme]] against Zodin in a different matter on the planet [[Mars]]. {{source}}

The [[Third Doctor]] disputed that ever took place, ([[PDA]]: ''[[Verdigris (novel)|Verdigris]]'') although he conceded that accounts of his own conflict with Zodin might not be entirely accurate when confronted with the implausibility of her motives and of grasshoppers jumping eighteen-storey buildings ([[NA]]: ''[[Legacy]]'').

The [[Eighth Doctor]] mentioned having the autograph of the Terrible Zodin. ([[DWM]]: ''[[The Glorious Dead]]'')

[[Sarah Jane Smith]] mentioned having encountered the Terrible Zodin when reminiscing about her past adventures to [[Luke Smith]] and [[Clyde Langer]]. ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Mad Woman in the Attic]]'')

The [[Seventh Doctor]] once described Zodin as a celebrated sword-swallower at the [[Grand Festival]] of [[Zymymys Midamor]] and by no means any kind of actual villain,. She did an impressive trick with a [[scimitar]] ([[NA]]: ''[[Lungbarrow]]''), although the Doctor thought she had egomaniacal and megalomaniac tendencies. ([[MA]]: ''[[Millennial Rites]]'') She had claws, or talons. ([[PDA]]: ''[[The Colony of Lies]]'') The Doctor considered her a villain of rare guile and cunning. He said they didn't make villains like her anymore. At one point his unstable memory caused him to call [[Peri Brown|Peri]] Zodin. ([[DW]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen]]'')
