#i start talking about missy and boom a whole essay

[find-me-in-hell]

The Doctor Falls is a good episode, as is World Enough and Time, both for a while multitude of reasons but the Missy and Master scenes are so much fun. Another analysis in which I end up talking about Missy too much. Again.

The haziness here is due to them crossing timelines. I also like how Missy goes 'Am I a woman now?' Because 13 says almost the exact same thing.

Also, the selfcest, as weird as it is. Makes some kind of sense considering its THE MASTER we're talking about here.

I do like Missy acting as if shes on the Masters side, because it is an act. But because the Master is there, well he'd be disgusted that she sided with him, which we do know he is. Because he kills her.

I can't do a post on the Master and Missy in the Doctor Falls without mentioning the absolute gem that is this scene.

Momentary sidetrack:

Bill seeing herself in the mirror and realising what she's become is such a sad scene. Because she didn't just die she was ripped apart and reconstructed in a metal casing and her mind hid and protected her from that. A textbook trauma response. Not wanting to see the damage, the ways you've changed because of what happened.

Getting angry because she can't be angry anymore. Why can't she be angry after all that's happened? Grant her anger at least. She can't have anything else so let her be angry.

And The Pilot (Heather) acting as her tears is so meaningful. Being stripped of emotion but Heather has given her the ability to cry, despite everything. The most impossible thing.

Sorry. I love Bill so much. Her fate saddens me in a way no other companion has.

Getting back on track.

The Master is clearly shocked(?) at the fact that Missy cares because the Master wouldn't, didn't care at all. Didn't care for Bill nor the hundreds of other people who died.

This scene is nice too. Foreshadowing even. I can't remember if Jodie was announced as 13 when this aired but it's a sweet comment.

Can't forget this scene either. Every part of its funny to be honest.

'I don't remember much about her' Again due to the timelines crossing. Of course the Master is aroused by this. (I mean, if a scarily hot woman did that to me I'd be no different...) The Master is absolutely the kind of guy who would do this which as weird as it is, it being written into his character, makes sense.

Every meta style post I do ends up circling back to Missy being better than her past selves. Which I'm not sorry for.

She only goes with The Master, because he is there and to not dissapoint him in a sense. Simm!Master doesn't see himself as being able to change.

This scene is very important too.

Missy misses beong the Master, because with regeneration everything is rewritten. Personality is part of that. We see that with the Doctor too.

I truly believe that Missy wanted to be better, not good just better. Even just that is okay. She is old, to change to be fully good would take centuries.

So she kills The Master to hurry that up just a bit. At least thats how I see it.

By the Doctors side is where they've been heading all this time. Sure Missy could've just injured him to teach him a lesson but she kills him to stop him. Again, thats just how I see it.

The Master has different plans. He kills her in return. Why would he stand with the Doctor? Why would he change? etc. Missy dies there and that is the end.

As we know The Master always comes back. Whether it is as Dhawan's incarnation or otherwise. That is up to interpretation. From what I recall, Dhawan's incarnation makes no mention of that death, which yes does make sense due to the timelines crossing. But he doesn't make any mention of the vault or any events that occurred during Gomez's incarnation. Which I think is important, though could just be Chibnall's writing.

Overall, The Doctor Falls is a very interesting episode for both The Master and Missy.
