Firstly, even though she’s The Mistress now, inside she’s The Master and just changing his sex won’t change who he has been for his entire life.
Secondly, the Master is bad and The Doctor tries to be good. I’ve heard of opposites attract, but that would be ridiculous.
I can easily believe they were friends once and I can believe some of that remains in both of them, considering some of the scenes we saw between The 10th Doctor and The Master, but anything more? I wouldn’t buy it for a second.
When I look at The Mistress, I don’t see a Time Lady, I see The Master lurking inside her and one day, he’ll be the man he really is again. What happens as The Mistress will impact on that, so Steven Moffat has to be careful with how he writes for her.
