ASK ME ABOUT POWER RANGERS MYSTIC FORCE
I really hope they don't explain it and just have her smug around for at least two more episodes.

I hope it's just :

"So you survived."
"Yes, clearly."

And that's it.

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.

Moffat posted:

“Everybody hide - Michelle Gomez as Missy was an instant hit last year, so she’s straight back to plague the Doctor and Clara in the series opener. But what brings her back into their lives is the last thing they’d expect.
So yeah.

Ughghghg how loving hard is it to just have her show up and go "Yeah, I survived. Moving on."? Enough with the goddamn twists and puzzles, Moff.

i think they can do both "missy survived, don't worry about it" AND "missy's involvement is in unexpected circumstances".

It is still possible that it's all a ploy by the Master to make us think Gomez is still the Master so when the Master shows up no one knows it's the Master.

Well yeah I guess that's possible, but why would you want somebody else to be the Master when Gomez is so loving amazing at it?

Because my brain can't handle the idea of a shapeshifting alien changing into a woman!


Who fans can be the worst. Not anyone on this forum, but people were still bitching about Gomez even before it was revealed she was coming back.

The episode titles do hint that way. Presumably Clara's the 'Magician's Apprentice', and Missy/The Master is clearly the witch.

The only way I am going to approve of Missy not being the "real" master is if she unzips her Missy suit and turns out to be Roger Delgado, alive and well, underneath.

We do have enough Masters now to do a multi-Master story! There's Jacobi, Simm, and now Gomez. But honestly, with how totally insane a one Master plan is, I don't know if anybody could write a non-lovely multi-Master episode.

A multi-Master story would just be an insane collection of backstabbing and inter-Master murders every two minutes, just for them all to turn up alive and well only to begin again immediately.

I love manic Missy...but that video makes me also want a passive, rambling Missy. No threats, no action. Just sittin' in the Tardis, talking about apples.

If she can work in singing more 80s songs, that would also be good.

Also, didn't Alistair Reynolds write a multi-Master story set in the Pertwee era? I recall liking it quite a bit.

I suddenly really want there to be a story where it turns out that the Master is completely uninvolved in whatever's going on and is just hanging around to gently caress with the Doctor. Though come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised if there were such a story already.
