The Magicians Apprentice – s9e1

I just want to talk about this scene for a minute. Look at Missy. The minute she realizes where she is, she’s deadly serious. There isn’t joking or playing around. Both her and the Doctor are terrified. They know what it is. They’ve seen what the Daleks do. They’re both veterans and survivors of the Time War. Missy keeps backing away as if she’s looking for a chance to run. The Doctor is in disbelief. This is the last place either of them wanted to be.
