Add pedantry about how Kronos and Chronos are different gods.

Added DiffLines:

* SadlyMythtaken: The eponymous time monster is identified as 'Kronos' and 'the titan who ate his children'. And, while that's a fine description of Kronos, he doesn't have very much to do with time: that's the responsibility of a different god named Chronos.

Add a note about how Thescalos isn't actually a very good name for the Master.


* ThisIsMyNameOnForeign: Thascalos, being Greek for Master.

to:

* ThisIsMyNameOnForeign: Thascalos, being Greek for Master.[[note]]Only it isn't really. It's close-ish to δάσκαλος, which would usually be transliterated as ''daskalos'', though in modern Greek the initial δ is pronounced like the start of 'that'; but all of the characters pronounce it unvoiced, like the start of 'thin'. The word itself is modern Greek; the corresponding classical word is διδάσκαλος, which is very definitely 'didaskalos', with honest-to-goodness 'd' sounds. Furthermore, the word (like the Latin ''magister'' which the Master used back in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E5TheDaemons The Dæmons]]) means 'teacher' or 'schoolmaster'; the sort of master who's in charge of things is δεσπÏŒτης ('despotes').[[/note]]

* HeroicSacrifice: Jo, of all people, flips the switch to ram the Doctor's TARDIS into the Master's, knowing it will kill them all but save the universe from destruction. They all end up surviving due to the crystal teleporting them into Kronos's realm, but she had no way of knowing that would happen.
