I knew that Simm!Master would be in this, but between the mask and the voice, I didn't recognize him at all, so the surprise at the end still worked very well.
Same here. I wondered whether I was supposed to have guessed, but now I've seen so many people saying they didn't regonise him that I feel much better :-)
For me, this was one of the creepiest episodes of the show ever, and watching all of it happen to Bill made me rather uncomfortable.
It was definitely the creepiest for me, too, and having it happen to Bill--knowing it was going to happen to Bill--upped the creep factor a lot. It also made it impossible to argue that it shouldn't have been Bill it happened to, because so much of the impact of it was rooted in Bill and our empathy with her.
I really hope they find a way to reverse it for Bill. Selenak's points about Missy having past Cyberman experience are excellent and something I'd completely forgotten, so I have more hope now.
