SPOILERS on the fate of Missy/The Master
The Master has been an integral part of Doctor Who since the early 70's right up to his/her latest incarnation, The Mistress.
In some ways I'm sorry that Missy was The Master, not for any of the gender swapping reasons, but simply because she was such a great character that it seems a shame to have he being aone of a long line of versions than someone in her own right.
Of course much is now irrelevant as the character, both male and female are dead, killed by one another.
In some ways this is rather fitting, a good way of wrapping up a character, but it also removes him/her from the future of Doctor Who - unless, not for the first time, he/she is brought back without any explanation.
So could the character return.
Well with a little wibbly wobbly or course she/he could. There is nothing to stop the Doctor meeting The Master or Missy prior to the events at the end of the last season.
But could it be that Missy is not dead and we have been given the clue to her survival.
When the Master announced that his TARDIS was disabled, Missy said she remembered being told about the damaged dematerialisation circuit and as such carried a spare one with her at all times.
So there is nothing to stop her remembering that she was shot by her male self with something that would stop the regeneration process and have a counter measure in place...
No matter what, I'd like to see a bit more of Missy before she changes...
