First off, I love your icon, especially since most cats think they are the Master. Heh. Very good point! (Also Survival is a great episode. <3)
Ainley exhibited the first sign of the breakdown, (which was probably caused when he entered the decayed state between Delgado and Ainley) Promethia and I have been talking about this too! And how being in constant pain and barely existing is bound to make anyone less than sane, but with the Master way more so.
In some ways, Missy seems to have been clinging desperately to the one solid thing with a set of ethics - and a mind she could respect as much as she loved her own - that she'd had in her long life; the Doctor. Oooh, I like that.
Can I tell you how much I want to write (or read) a story of how Missy survived? I refuse to believe that hasn't been written.
Anyway, the long comment that DW ate was about Logopolis being good, but how new fans (unfamiliar with the old show) would be unlikely to show up for it (no matter its reputation). Plus, it strikes me a little like watching Sound of Drums without Utopia & Last of the Time Lords. (Of course watching Keeper of Traken AND Logopolis AND Castrovalva all in one would take a long, long time. But the point stands.)
