Am i the only one to think that this whole Missy/ master business is pretty lame? You build it up al the way through the series to the reveal and it was a bit of a damp squib. Why call her missy if you want to keep the suspense up until the climactic reveal? It was pretty obvious that the neversphere was the Gallifreyan matrix all along, but wouldn't it have been better for Missy to have turned out to be the Rani or even Roman gone bad and Missy being a total red herring to lead everyone to think that she is the master and BANG? But, no. Just Moffat being Moffat again
The Master has a history of using hilariously obvious aliases:
-Colonel Masters
-Reverend Magister (Latin for "Master")
-Professor Thascalos (Greek for "Master", Jo even says so in the show)
-Sir Gilles Estram (just an anagram of "Master")
So it may not have been a very good secret but it also wasn't exactly out of character, either.
