Discussion: Unravelling the Mystery of Missy
The start of a new series of Doctor Who means the start of a new story arc and Steven Moffat wasted no time bringing this year’s mystery to the forefront of Whovian conversation.
At the end of Saturday’s Series 8 premiere Deep Breath we were introduced to Michelle Gomez as ‘Missy’, who we know from a previous BBC announcement is “the Gatekeeper of the Nethersphere”… whatever that means!
Not much is known about the enigmatic character, or perhaps more importantly, her relationship with the Doctor, thus far, but we thought we’d open this discussion for you to share any initial thoughts and theories.
The comments below will remain open throughout the course of the series so don’t forget to keep checking back to discuss the latest developments. Please note that the comments won’t be monitored for spoilers and also please only discuss broadcast episodes.

Weird thought, previous episode title and something that missy said about ‘Was my Boyfriend Mean to You?’ and ‘I Love the new accent, Think I Might Keep It’
Is it another case of a Human Avatar of the TARDIS, though a darker, sinister one, like the Doctor has the Valeyard…
I’m getting a definite villain vibe; but villain with a complicated history. Like the Master, but not the Master. I mean, there were moments when I actually liked and empathized with the Master. I get the same kind of feeling with her.
I think she must be a Time Lord, or at least some kind of serious Time Lord connection….
