I was also spoiled by the trailer but didn't guess until they were alone together. And yes EEEEEEEK to the body horror, omfg. Poor Bill. But she was crying at the end, and I agree it would be totally out of character for Moffat to kill off a Companion, especially at the end of his last series. (Haven't seen 10.12 yet, as you may be able to tell - I'm catching up on reaction posts as well as episodes!)
MISSY IS EVERYTHING. I love her. I want mooooore. And even though I'm like UGH GO AWAY MASTER YOU'RE GOING TO CAUSE HER LEAVING IN SOME WAY, multiple Masters is so cool!
Bill's dig about the patriarchal implication of "Time LORD" in reply to the Doctor's lofty assurance they're beyond gender clichés was perfect.
So great. And that was a nice, more subtly meta touch, I thought - both the utopian element of sci-fi and the reality of it being written by people of their time.
