Missy is a great actor. Her role as Michele Gomez looks so natural. Funny how the bbc claims it's Michelle playing missy, whilst it's obviously the other way around.
Joey Verhaar Yeah, just like how everyone says Peter Capaldi plays the Doctor, when it's obvious that the Doctor is playing Peter Capaldi. -morons smh-
I can't even get started on how much I love Michelle Gomez. She's a magnificent person & actress & Missy and I simply adore her. Gawd. Can't imagine Who without her.
Michelle u r by far one of my favourite masters/missy and I'm so sad to see you go you played the part so well and wish u good luck for all your future characters u play
Missy is back and we are loving it! Episode was amazing but I think I need to rewatch this tomorrow to catch up at things I might have missed. There was so much information and things happening, that I probably overlooked things as I was too excited Missy is finally back on screen. :D Also thanks for showing the picture, makes me feel proud and happy. :D ❤
I can't wait for the next episode but the faster it gets here, the sooner the season will be over and I don't want it to end. First World Problems, right? :)
Arctic what if by sabotaging that device that was to kill missy, the doctor did something to it which causes her to regenerate in reverse which leaves her turning back into john simms master
That is actually possible; she keeps wanting to be his friend and they were supposedly childhood friends. Also, she has only made references to early Gallifreyian (sp?) life that we know of.
As I kept saying, it was Missy in the vault. Who else stuck with this theory? It couldn't be anyone else and certainly not John Simms Master and by episode 4 it was basically confirmed.
Isaac Faruque Perhaps it was supposed to be obvious, I mean we seem to be under the impression that the Vault was the big secret this year, the problem with that is that this plot line was announced to be resolved halfway through the series and there's not even a cutaway point in the series like 6 or 7. The actual question that should be asked is who the hell were the guys who tried to execute and how did they get access to that technology?
X L they sort of explained that. They're the executioners for the galaxy and they have to do their research and learn how to kill every creature in the galaxy. That's why they said that a time lord was an exceptional task or something to that effect.
Michelle kinda messed up that story. As I know it, it goes like this: A skorpion (they are the ones who can't swim so the story will make sense) wants to cross a river. He sees a frog at the shore and asks it to help him get to the other side. The frog goes (To use Michelle's beautiful words) "No way! What if you sting me and kill me!?" but the skorpion replies: "Why would I? That'd be really stupid. If I stung you at the middle of the river we would both die. I can't swim." So the frog agrees to help the skorpion. As predicted, right in the middle of the river, the skorpion uses it's tail and stings the frog. The frog looks at it in disbelief: "Why did you do that? Now we're both going to die!" And the skorpion simply answers: "I can't help it. It's in my nature."
Thanks Fan Show for presenting my work :D Also thanks for being the first BBC production that has A) Pronounced my name right and B) didn't think I was a girl (damn you BBC 6 Music).
I don't want Michelle Gomez to go! She was my favourite incarnation of the Master! 😭😭😭 (Also she got Clara to meet the Doctor, and she's my favourite character!)
How do you get that Fable so wrong. The scorpion travels across the river on the back of the frog. The frog trusts the scorpion because as the scorpion says "if I sting you, you will die and I will drown". So the frog agrees to help and as they cross the river the scorpion on the frogs back stings the frog. The frog asks "Why have you stung me, now we will both die?" and the scorpion replies "I am a scorpion, that is my nature and cannot be denied".
THIS EPISODE WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. well-written, scary enough at times, funny on point at others & absolutely brilliantly played by all actors. was so great to have Michelle again, so devastated about her leaving. cannot wait to see what the future holds for The Doctor! x
I did worry at one point during extremis that they were going to say the entirety of the Whoniverse was a simulation in an attempt to canonise the show into existence and make as many plot holes as they like.
What you all are missing is that Steven Moffat is putting the FINISHING touches on the christmas special...which mean filming starts soon... which means NEW DOCTOR ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!
shes Capaldi's Master. Just like Delgado was Pertwee's Master and Simm was Tennant's Master. Yes, Simm is coming back for the series finale, but its for a multi Master story (which has never been done before outside of Big Finish, so it'll be interesting to see how the Master interacts with himself)
Yeah, and in that episode, it was planned that the Master would sacrifice himself to save the Doctor. Of course, the reason the Doctor would be in danger would be because of the Masters plan (whatever it would have been.) But Delgado had wanted to leave anyway, since everyone thought he was working on Doctor Who he was losing out on a lot of work
ah man this episode was intense, i'm so glad the after show is here to keep up the hype ^-^ also: the blind doctor idea is genius and michelle is freaking brilliant
It truly was a mysterious episode. I like the fact that Steven Moffat has worked the Matrix idea again (Silence in the Library) and it worked out pretty well. Can't wait to see what comes next!
I've noticed that subsequent rebroadcasts of Extremis has the White House dialogue scene edited, omitting references to Super Mario. Nintendo had a problem with that? It's significant to that scene and I hope it is not permanently deleted on DVD.
11:22 actually a paraphase of it. it is the fox and the scorpian. Fox initally refuses cause scorpion will sting him. Scorpian says it will be mad cause they will both drown. Half way across the scorpian sings the fox. The fox says ," y we are both going to drown?". Scorpian says," I can't help it; I am a scorpian
I'm sooooo gunna miss the 12 & Missy relationship! #IHeartHeartMissyN12! Christel, I love your shirts, just wondering, where you got that neat 12 in the TARDIS one from?!?! Anyway, Michelle Gomez, can I be Missy's apprentice????
In Fact Forget about this being an fantastic episode I've got to give a shout out to the fan show of giving inside info to doctor who since its early days of the 12th era and to chirstee for making that episode of the fan show which started this show off
I liked how the opening of "Oxygen" referenced Star Trek "Space: the final frontier." and the "Extremis" opening referenced Star Wars "A long time ago..." (and then later mentioned Star Trek again). When that guy asks Bill and Nardole to pick random numbers, the first number they say is 36. While this is the 10th series since Doctor Who's revival in 2005, it is also the 36th season in total. Fancy that. (I know I already typed this comment, but for some reason it was only visible to me, so I deleted it and tried again.)
MIchelle got the particulars of the frog story backwards - the frog gives the scorpion the ride - the moral is the more or less the same - except the scorpion cant swim - the frog remember asks why the scorpion would sting him because the scorpion will now drown and die too - the scorpion can't help himself from being evil even though it kills him...
Yes. I'm familiar with this story. It's the scorpion asks the frog to take him across. And what's even darker is that because the scorpion stings the frog halfway across the river, they both drown.
i reckon Missy will give regeneration energy to the doctor for his eyes and revert to John Simm Master somehow and then regenerate to a new master later. Thats the only plausible thing i can think of
Wow, finally a good series 10 episode. Moffat is back good form. I love his misdirection, twist turns and complexity. Also, some of the underlying phyiscs concepts are really cool i.g. reality as a simulation and "The thing about the universe is what you need you can always borrow as long as you pay it back." i.e. Quantum Mechanics. Unfortunately the preview of next week's conclusion doesn't look to promising.
Also the fan show is an official BBC production. It sounds like parts of this were recorded while series ten was still filming, judging by the comment about celebrating Christmas.
I've been wondering for a while- if the doctor were to go back into time, would the cybermen be the original ones? I guess the finale will answer it (if the Doctor is already dying- as he skirted away from Bill's question concerning "what's regeneration?" will the writer just give him hearts failure?
Want more Michelle Gomez? We read her some of YOUR UA-cam comments here: ua-cam.com/video/5sCvtB2GlWc/v-deo.html ✨🎉
Doctor Who OMG
Missy is a great actor. Her role as Michele Gomez looks so natural.
Funny how the bbc claims it's Michelle playing missy, whilst it's obviously the other way around.
Joey Verhaar Yeah, just like how everyone says Peter Capaldi plays the Doctor, when it's obvious that the Doctor is playing Peter Capaldi.
-morons smh-
Ciaran Ritchie
Yes. Timelords acting as humans.
Why do you act so surprised that two of the same species have similar behavior?
+
oh yeah
Anyone else think that the way Michelle sits with her legs all folded up is the cutest thing ever?
Extremis was spectacular - missy is always great & so good that shes back - the monks are so creepy - what a great complex episode :)
Michelle Gomez is one of the best actors from our time. I'm mesmerized by her performance. I'm so thankful for having her on Doctor Who.
gonna miss you Michelle
I can't even get started on how much I love Michelle Gomez. She's a magnificent person & actress & Missy and I simply adore her. Gawd. Can't imagine Who without her.
Michelle u r by far one of my favourite masters/missy and I'm so sad to see you go you played the part so well and wish u good luck for all your future characters u play
I love the after show! It's so awesome!
Thanks Dakota Bull, YOU are awesome! 💙💙
Ugh Michelle I am sooooo gonna miss you😢 you are my favorite form of the Master/Missy😭💙
Extremis was brilliant, this is by far the best series for Capaldi and he bloody deserves it!
What a fantastic episode !
They actually got a script editor who does something? No wonder series 10 has been so strong!
Steven Moffat is 'Adding touches to this year's Christmas special' I don't want Peter to go 😩💙
Missy is back and we are loving it! Episode was amazing but I think I need to rewatch this tomorrow to catch up at things I might have missed. There was so much information and things happening, that I probably overlooked things as I was too excited Missy is finally back on screen. :D Also thanks for showing the picture, makes me feel proud and happy. :D ❤
im watching it again too. a brilliant episode, also the nextt episode looks good too
I can't wait for the next episode but the faster it gets here, the sooner the season will be over and I don't want it to end. First World Problems, right? :)
Has Michelle Gomez ever seen that brilliant music video 'Renegade Master' Christel did? Billy Treacy's Anthony Ainley is magnificent!
2:40 with how much gets cut out from each episode who would want to see a Doctor who novel series?
Did anyone else realise that the actor that played the Pope also played the Italian refugee in "Turn Left" in Series 4
Really gonna miss her! You were brilliant Michelle! 💙💙
R.I.P missy 2014-2017
I love the way Michele Gomez sits on the chair
So missy was in the vault eh? Now I wonder how the masters gonna make his appearance
Arctic what if by sabotaging that device that was to kill missy, the doctor did something to it which causes her to regenerate in reverse which leaves her turning back into john simms master
You're assuming Missy came after Simm. Do we know where Missy really is on the Master's timeline?
tjperez69 are you suggesting pre-Delgado?
That is actually possible; she keeps wanting to be his friend and they were supposedly childhood friends. Also, she has only made references to early Gallifreyian (sp?) life that we know of.
That episode was awesome, really loving Doctor Who at the moment, the stories are so deep and intriguing! Missy is back, knew she was in the vault!
As I kept saying, it was Missy in the vault. Who else stuck with this theory?
It couldn't be anyone else and certainly not John Simms Master and by episode 4 it was basically confirmed.
Isaac Faruque I know it was far too obvious
Natul Nagi sure yea I believe you
Isaac Faruque Perhaps it was supposed to be obvious, I mean we seem to be under the impression that the Vault was the big secret this year, the problem with that is that this plot line was announced to be resolved halfway through the series and there's not even a cutaway point in the series like 6 or 7. The actual question that should be asked is who the hell were the guys who tried to execute and how did they get access to that technology?
Well, we haven't actually opened the vault yet. That's a very important thing to note.
X L they sort of explained that. They're the executioners for the galaxy and they have to do their research and learn how to kill every creature in the galaxy. That's why they said that a time lord was an exceptional task or something to that effect.
Michelle kinda messed up that story. As I know it, it goes like this:

And the skorpion simply answers: "I can't help it. It's in my nature."
I prefer the scorpion answering "You knew I was a scorpion when you agreed to let me on your back."
What! Missy is leaving!?!? NO! SHE CANT! SHE'S SO FINE AND BLOWS OUR MINDS!
Thanks Fan Show for presenting my work :D Also thanks for being the first BBC production that has A) Pronounced my name right and B) didn't think I was a girl (damn you BBC 6 Music).
I don't want Michelle Gomez to go! She was my favourite incarnation of the Master! 😭😭😭

missy please don't leave us
Missy in the vault was so obvious I didn't think it would be her.
A bit disappointed it was that obvious.
First 3 episodes, I thought it would be missy.
Then, I thought it would be John Simm's master.
Oh Missy you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, Hey Missy, Hey Missy!
You will be missed Michelle Gomez. Come back any time you like. ;)
I did worry at one point during extremis that they were going to say the entirety of the Whoniverse was a simulation in an attempt to canonise the show into existence and make as many plot holes as they like.
It could of all been part of the simulation. Who knows.
What you all are missing is that Steven Moffat is putting the FINISHING touches on the christmas special...which mean filming starts soon... which means NEW DOCTOR ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!
I'm going to miss Peter and Michelle SO MUCH :(
plz don't go michelle
shes Capaldi's Master. Just like Delgado was Pertwee's Master and Simm was Tennant's Master. Yes, Simm is coming back for the series finale, but its for a multi Master story (which has never been done before outside of Big Finish, so it'll be interesting to see how the Master interacts with himself)
Skullcrusher430- yeah, I think it's for the best.
If memory serves, he was planning to leave at the end of Season 11, and Pertwee ended up leaving at the end of that season
Yeah, and in that episode, it was planned that the Master would sacrifice himself to save the Doctor. Of course, the reason the Doctor would be in danger would be because of the Masters plan (whatever it would have been.) But Delgado had wanted to leave anyway, since everyone thought he was working on Doctor Who he was losing out on a lot of work
Skullcrusher430 Anthony Ainley worked with 4 Doctors
ah man this episode was intense, i'm so glad the after show is here to keep up the hype ^-^
also: the blind doctor idea is genius and michelle is freaking brilliant
In the episode why didn't the tranlation circuit work?The doctor needed a translator for the pope
Probably something to do with it being a simulation.
Simulation maybe?... I get the feeling that's what Moffat will say.
Maybe the pope was speaking Italian in english. Like Donna speaking Italian to the Italian people in The Fires of Pompeii.
Doodle so gabby The TARDIS didn't travel anywhere in space or time so maybe the translation circuit was not activated.
The Doctor speaks Italian
Awwww missy has been my favorite master so far☹️
That was a sick episode (of doctor who)
Realllllyyyyyy I thought you was talking about the walking dead!
MICHELLE DONT GOOOOO
I'm glad missy's back
So this is my future Incarnation then?
Yep, you're in for a rough ride mate... you're gonna become an American before this
series ten has been great so far!!! apart from smile being a bit dull I've enjoyed every episode!!
That reference to tears and the finale is so true now. Tears spring in my eyes just thinking about it...
It truly was a mysterious episode. I like the fact that Steven Moffat has worked the Matrix idea again (Silence in the Library) and it worked out pretty well. Can't wait to see what comes next!
I've noticed that subsequent rebroadcasts of Extremis has the White House dialogue scene edited, omitting references to Super Mario. Nintendo had a problem with that? It's significant to that scene and I hope it is not permanently deleted on DVD.
Season 10= The Fabulous hair squad
Missy you will be missed!
11:22 actually a paraphase of it. it is the fox and the scorpian. Fox initally refuses cause scorpion will sting him. Scorpian says it will be mad cause they will both drown. Half way across the scorpian sings the fox. The fox says ," y we are both going to drown?". Scorpian says," I can't help it; I am a scorpian
Michelle please you said about having a daughter in the first episode with the sonic specs who is the master's daughter
Gonna miss Michelle so much. Loved her as Missy.
the scorpion is the passenger in this story (whether the swimmer is a fox or a frog) - so the sting results in BOTH drowning
I'm sooooo gunna miss the 12 & Missy relationship! #IHeartHeartMissyN12! Christel, I love your shirts, just wondering, where you got that neat 12 in the TARDIS one from?!?! Anyway, Michelle Gomez, can I be Missy's apprentice????
I really enjoyed this episode I liked the twist that everything was a simulation the only thing I didn't enjoy was that missy is in the vault.
Or is she..... ;)
Matt Venom What if she isn't?
EnderPig moffat told radio times that she's defiantly in the vault although he could be lying
this season was lit tbh and I can't wait for the next couple of episodes!!
9:04 Love that 5WF Reference :)
my favourite of series 10 so far, well done Moffat.Sad to see missy leave. thanks i love the. Aftershow. ❤
The scorpion's on the frog, frogs swim.
In Fact Forget about this being an fantastic episode I've got to give a shout out to the fan show of giving inside info to doctor who since its early days of the 12th era and to chirstee for making that episode of the fan show which started this show off
THE LAST TIMELORD hai
yeh boi (: Arctic

(I know I already typed this comment, but for some reason it was only visible to me, so I deleted it and tried again.)
Missy is in the vault
Back once again it's the renegade Christel, dropping up references about her music video! ^^
So have we been following the actual 12 or the simulated 12 for episodes 1-5 of series 10
Commenting Commenter both probably lived through exactly the same.
I'll miss Missy.
I adore your shirt! Where did you get it? It kind of has Meagan Lara's art style but I can't find it.
This is easily one of the best episodes of Doctor Who that I have ever seen!
MIchelle got the particulars of the frog story backwards - the frog gives the scorpion the ride - the moral is the more or less the same - except the scorpion cant swim - the frog remember asks why the scorpion would sting him because the scorpion will now drown and die too - the scorpion can't help himself from being evil even though it kills him...
great video but can you please put a link to that TARDIS lava lamp you had in the last episode
michelle gomez feels like a fun aunt
To quote Missy
'I AIN'T TURNED GOOD!!'
Looking foreward to next week:-)))))))
A frog can't cross a lake but a scorpion can?
She got the story slightly muddled
Yes. I'm familiar with this story. It's the scorpion asks the frog to take him across. And what's even darker is that because the scorpion stings the frog halfway across the river, they both drown.
Indeed, with the scorpion's rationale being "It's my nature"
Yeah, I know that story from Star Trek: Voyager. In that version, it was a fox who took the scorpion across the river and got stung halfways.
loved the episode.
When the story of the scorpion and the frog is actually the other way around LOL
Last episode was amazing!
Love watching the after show while wait for esipode to air because I live in America have wait to 9Pm on east coast
Please, for the love of Rassilon, cast Christel Dee in a future episode of the show. She is so charming :)
we need Michelle Gomez back for next season - Missy's search for the new Doctor
i reckon Missy will give regeneration energy to the doctor for his eyes and revert to John Simm Master somehow and then regenerate to a new master later. Thats the only plausible thing i can think of
The whole time after the reveal I kept hearing Morpheus saying, "Blue pill, or red pill?"
Ryan Reynolds IS Daedpool.
Hugh Jackman IS Wolverine.
RDJ IS Iron Man.
But Michelle Gomez IS Missy. She is just completely and utterly insane...
I'm going to missy her beautiful face.
Who else noticed christel dee's 5 who fans renegade master song reference
Wow, finally a good series 10 episode. Moffat is back good form. I love his misdirection, twist turns and complexity. Also, some of the underlying phyiscs concepts are really cool i.g. reality as a simulation and "The thing about the universe is what you need you can always borrow as long as you pay it back." i.e. Quantum Mechanics. Unfortunately the preview of next week's conclusion doesn't look to promising.
Will miss you Michelle
I hope the 13th doctor is like Peter or Matt
luke at the end.... its like the fanfiction is writing itself
was that ending bit a doomsday reference?!
I wanna see Nick's hair have a show down with Capaldi's.
We will Missy you Michelle
ARE WE REAL IS CHRIS-TEL REAL IS ANYBODY REAL
Hang on! What am I typing on?
Technically Missy and the Doctor should be at the top of "Top of the Locks" considering they were the only real people with hair in this episode.
Noooo she was such a good master
No Peter, no Michelle... it's going to take a hell of an effort to keep me interested.
Did anyone else get massive Last Christmas vibes off this episode?
headbite alien A little, yeah.
I think they have been preparing us for Michelle Gomez to be the thirteenth Doctor.
HOW ARE THEY GETTING THE EPISODES SO EARLY?!?
It's already aired in the UK.
Also the fan show is an official BBC production. It sounds like parts of this were recorded while series ten was still filming, judging by the comment about celebrating Christmas.
I've been wondering for a while- if the doctor were to go back into time, would the cybermen be the original ones? I guess the finale will answer it (if the Doctor is already dying- as he skirted away from Bill's question concerning "what's regeneration?" will the writer just give him hearts failure?
