I am flailing all over the place with all of your thoughts. XD SO MANY THINGS! And I was only really scratching the surface...
Clara's development independently of the Doctor, Clara having her Waters of Mars, Clara manipulating vs. the Ponds' unmovable obstacle strategy, the relevance of the TARDIS keys, the River reference in the book she took, and CLARA BEING CLAIMED BY BOTH MISSY AND THE DOCTOR. ♥ This episode was just crammed full. I love it.
I haven't yet finished watching Death in Heaven so I don't know how this turns out, but omfg, all the love for that idea. It didn't turn out how I expected, but I was very happy with what we got. :)
You make a very good point about the gender-swap-ish twist with Danny's position and Clara's. Oh, his story was so emotional. ♥ Poor, poor Danny. And heroic right to the end.
This episode just had all the intensity. And seeing plot callbacks in hindsight, in Deep Breath most of all! What a thrill. Episode parallels always do make me so happy, everything is connected. (Those classic parallels omfg ♥) The more you look, the more you see.
I can't comment coherently on Missy because of brain goo. MISSY! We need MOAR MISSY!
But yes, very thought-provoking counterarguments to the heteronormative accusation. And it preparing the coming of the female!Doctor-can't find anything wrong with that! ^_^ You can't have BOTH future fem!Doctor AND m/m slash. And I am more keen on the former. :) (Also re. not getting any m/m snogging last time, then I lay that at RTD's door. And he is gay, so he has no excuse. *g*)
Love love love the specific moments you pointed out between them, and the interview extract with Missy as a dark mirror, of course. Michelle Gomez knows what she is talking about.
Yessss. :D She is almost unsettlingly open-like you said, regeneration shifts. I have SO MUCH TO SAY about Death in Heaven... *flails and falls over*
And I was only really scratching the surface... So much stuff to say! ;)

MISSY! We need MOAR MISSY! ALL THE MISSY! (I'm cheering at everything that implies she might be back… ♥)
You can't have BOTH future fem!Doctor AND m/m slash. *nods*
(Also re. not getting any m/m snogging last time, then I lay that at RTD's door. And he is gay, so he has no excuse. *g*) True ;)

I have SO MUCH TO SAY about Death in Heaven... *flails and falls over* Can't wait to see that! :D (I kept thinking about the shift between End of Time!Doctor/Master and Missy's current reactions to him… "I wonder what I'd be without that noise."/"Wonder what I'd be, without you." It's like she's channelling both and it makes all the sense ♥)
ALL THE MISSY! (I'm cheering at everything that implies she might be back… ♥) Well Michelle Gomez has confirmed that she'll return in S9, so feel free to throw a party! :D

I love your Twelve/Missy icons :) (I'm resolutely calling them Distress instead of Twissy ;P)

Plus, it almost gives us Distress vs. Disaster. That would have been the very best thing.
