Missy is okay. I like the concept of the Master being a frenemy who sometimes helps, sometimes hinders but the way her dialogue is implemented is sort of a one-trick pony: lol I fancy the doctor cause i'm a woman do you get it? Alright, yes, we get the joke, what else do you have? I was disappointed she went balls out evil at the end too, it would've been interesting to have her travel with the Doctor and Clara for a while.

I'm also not really keen on her actress, and I don't really love Capaldi either. He just lacks that charisma, that spark. And it's a shame because I liked the general idea for the story of the opener but ehhh. It's just not doing much for me anymore. I think the audience is agreeing with me - viewing figures have dropped drastically - I hope they don't cancel it again! - and even more importantly, this thread's activity has suffered too!
