Doctor Who: 10 WTF Moments From The Magician's Apprentice
7. Hey Missy!
"Not dead. Back. Big surprise. Never mind.”
Yes, despite being obliterated at the end of series 9, Michelle Gomez returns as Missy (who is, of course, the Master) and is once more looking fine and blowing minds.
As the above quote indicates, no time is given to just how she’s back, and the rather more important aspect is why? As it appears here it’s because the Doctor has gone missing, and she’s taken possession of his will, with the Time-Lord reportedly set to have just one day left.
Not only is that a bit of a bombshell, but it’s a fantastic sequence between Missy and Clara (after the former announced her return in a rather Moriarty-esque fashion), which really does allow Gomez to unleash all of the craziness the character has, especially when it comes to blasting away a few UNIT agents and tormenting Clara over Danny Pink’s death.
Just as fascinating is her relationship with the Doctor, with Missy claiming to be his best friend, and hopefully that’ll be explored a lot more this year, with plenty of screen time for the the bats**t crazy Missy.
