Ah, Missy. The mystery of Missy.


Ah, Missy. The mystery of Missy.

What we know about her is that she refers to the Doctor as her "boyfriend," and she brings dead people to a garden like place very similar to the garden in the Girl Who Waited.

Here's my response to all the theories:

Susan Foreman - No. She's his granddaughter. She would never call the Doctor her boyfriend.

The Woman (from End of Time) - Although it was heavily implied that she was the Doctor's mother, she could be Susan, Romana, or the Doctor's original wife. Basically, for as long as who the Woman is is a mystery, we can't say she can be Missy.

Rani - I haven't watched all the classic episodes, but by seeing the descriptions of her, her personality would have to change DRASTICALLY to fit the role of Missy. I personally don't think Missy seems that uncaring. (Also, Steven Moffat said he wouldn't get Rani back in the show)

Romana - Again, her personality would have to RADICALLY change, but I think that Romana being her is a bit more likely than the Rani, as I can see her calling the Doctor "boyfriend" in some far off regeneration. But still...maybe

River Song - HOW. HOW CAN THIS BE RIVER SONG. (I like the theory, but then WHERE IS ALEX KINGSTON?)

The Master - I don't think Missy seems inherently evil...but maybe that's just me. I always have shipped the Doctor and the Master though.

A Totally New Character - Probably the most sensible theory

One of Clara's Echoes - This is by far my favorite theory. What if Clara had an echo that went wrong? And that echo, instead of helping the Doctor directly, got the Doctor and Clara together by being the woman in the shop therefore saving the Doctor? Me likey.

So what do you guys think?

  1. I actually really like that last idea, would be a very clever plot. Ultimately though, I think she's just an entirely new character and compared to the other alternatives, I think it's the best.

  2. There is one more theory. 

    Tardis - Moffat said we will see tardis in human form again. He also said there will be more about Clara-tardis relationship. We know from story Zegreus that relationship Doctor-Tardis is very complicated.

  3. I think she may be one of the time lords from the dr's past. The cubes from the Drs' wife ep. maybe. Can't remember the name. The one with the snake tattoo.

  4. She doesn't just bring dead people, but people who died because they trusted the Doctor. They listened to him, accepted what he was saying, and essentially died because of him.

    It could be River Song, from when we first met her. Heaven could be the computer simulation that river lives in. Maybe she's found a way to change her appearance. Maybe she's gone mad in there.

  5. Stephen Doggart The Corsair was his name, I always like the sound of him/her

  6. I'm still going with the Valeyard.  Or an entirely new character.  The Valeyard is supposed to be a manifestation of all of the darkest parts of the Doctor sometime after his 12th regeneration.  So the timeline fits.  Also, she took on a Scottish accent the same time he did, so making her a mirror of the Doctor also makes sense.  In the past, the Valeyard also took the Doctor to trial for conduct unbecoming a Time Lord.  Collecting people that have died in his name, could be the start of that process.

  7. A gate keeper though what to? What's behind the gate? Missy is a projection in everyones future, there has to be a time she has had an encounter with the doctor - did he put her there? Can't wait to find out- have feeling though she'll be in every episode.

  8. Vladimír Mlečenkov I don't really see the Tardis like that, but I really hope your theory plays out!

  9. I still like Death, or something powerful that thinks it is Death. Perhaps a Papal Mainframe gone mad.

  10. A wild season 8 plot device appeared!

  11. Vladimír Mlečenkov Gotta love the Eternals. I think it was mentioned that they fled the Time War somewhere, and Tennant mentioned them as well, so they're definitely canon.

  12. Mik Furie Eternals are from episode The Enlightment so they are canon.

  13. The Terrible Zodan (mentioned in passing in The Five Doctors)

  14. It was confirmed that she is Mary Poppins.

  15. I thoroughly believe she is the Doctor's 1st wife. They need to wrap up the situation with his 1st wife and Susan Forman soon.

  16. I originally thought it was Clara from some sort of echo. I was pondering this for a while afterwards, then thought, "Clara...the Doctor...'I'm not your boyfriend'...what if it's Clara?" So I think that's either it or she's completely new.

  18. I'm going with her being the Tardis- makes sense that she refers to the Doctor as her boyfriend and being able to absorb people/items into the garden

  19. My theory is that Clara is rivers daughter, and this is Clara just possibly regenerated.

  20. The bracelet in the picture looks Cyberman style to me. It's incongruous with the rest of the clothing. Maybe a bit of the Doctor "Mr. Clever" got into the Cybermen and created something far more clever; something that would attack the Doctor directly and understand what would hurt him. Turning the people he failed to save into Cybermen for instance?

  21. The woman in the shop who made the ad and gave Clara the TARDIS number...

  22. NancyClassicWhoDrew She cant be The Master becuase Master has absolutely different style of talking and behavior

    ReplyDelete
  23. Brittnay Cabana or Rose because Rose actually worked in a shop. before you know what.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Vladimír Mlečenkov but Missy=mistress=master so who knows. It's Moffat we're talking about here

    ReplyDelete
  25. NancyClassicWhoDrew Yes but same Moffat told that we will see human tardis again and there was picture small tardis so what if tardis changed her form someway.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Vladimír Mlečenkov I don't know, how would she be walking around in the last episode with the Cybermen? What I hope for is that she's just a new character; not the Rani, not the Master, not the TARDIS, just a whole new character

  27. Clara theory:
    Strax and Vashta called her "Miss" Clara
    Missy is short (and I mean stature)
    Has an umbrella (reference to Christmas special)
    Called Doctor her boyfriend
    (This is less obvious) it seemed that some facial expressions and gestures were designed to look just like Clara
    Plot wise, she would be an anti-River (saves, then kills instead of kills then saves)
    Finally, Clara is said to leave after this season

  28. Vladimír Mlečenkov There was a cube with a snake on it, and the Dr said that this time lord " The Corsaire" always got the same tattoo in every regen, Uncle got his arm. He was also known to be a she from time to time. Confused? I am , and I brought the subject up.
