Yep. When the Doctor regenerates they tend not to revisit storylines. There are exceptions of course, but I don't see it in this case.
That would be my guess.

I find myself enjoing Peter Capaldi's run as the Doctor more than Matt Smith's (not as much as Tennent's, but Tennent had more time to grow into the role as well, so I'm reserving final judgement on that), but I find myself wondering if the next Doctor should be female.
According to what the Doctor has said in the show, regenerations can lead to bizarre appearances. However, we know that's not likely to happen as it will make the Doctor less relatable than a time lord already is when she has a human appearance, and it will add to the costs of producing the show. However, allowing a gender change during one of the regenerations could certainly reinforce the potential variety of change that's possible while also maintaining a relatable human appearance.

I must have missed that episode. The last I knew, the master died in the same special where they transitioned from Tennent to Smith. I have to confess I never really expected him to stay dead though.
I'm confused. It's the entirety of Capaldi's first season. The one you said you enjoyed more than Matt Smith? That whole role being played by Michelle Gomez?

The episodes I've seen of Capaldi's first season didn't mention the master. Various scheduling conflicts have prevented me from seeing them all; I have seen episodes 2, 3, 4, & 7. From the episodes that I have seen, I enjoy Capaldi's performance much more than Smith's; I believe this is in part due to the abandonment of the veneer of silliness that Smith's Doctor had.
Ah, I thought you'd seen the entire series. Apologies for the spoilers! It was the major overall plot arc for 2014.

No problem. And don't worry about the spoilers; I figured I'd be in for some of those just by getting into this thread.

to be fair the Mistress Missy thing wasn't entirely clear and was something easily missed if you happened to miss the reveal scene (which I did!).
It was one of the many theories amongst the fan speculation put forward at the time
That said I'm loving Gomez' Missy and I really really want her to be Susans grandmother - eeewwww
Oh and now that the Master has done the gender swap thing, I don't think the Doctor is going to go that way for a very long time - so my guess is no female Doctor on screen in the foreseeable future
