In that final scene in "Heaven", I immediately thought of Silence in the Library's database.
Yeah, but who else would know that the Doctor ditched Clara in Victorian London, at that particular time, and knew about the restaurant that wasnt really a restaurant?
The basic "why" I can think of unfortunately applies to all enemies of the Doctor. Right now, Clara can be expected to show up in any point in the Doctor's timeline in order to save him. Her doing so unexpectedly can ruin a plot. If Clara and the Doctor are kept together, then you can plan for her involvement. "Keep your enemies closer," basically.
.So, what has been said to be impossible?
I think you have it...In that final scene in "Heaven", I immediately thought of Silence in the Library's database.
About this? Nothing that I know of.
Moffatt has been quoted as saying that the Master's story is done. Following the same logic, lots of folks are thinking that this is the same character, as The Mistress, and therefore not the Master, because Moffat lies. I understand the logic - but it leads to the shotgun attempt to figure it out - ask Moffat who she is, and anything he denies will be it. And you're hosed if he denies several things
"Mr. Moffat! Is Missy actually your pet cat?"
"No, that's silly. My cat is... a cat. You saw a person. My cat can't be Missy."
Well, then....
I should add - this is one of those things we likely agree on is correct, but in fact makes no sense whatsoever.
You see, Clara is the impossible girl because she entered the scar of the Doctor's timeline on Trenzalore. But, The Doctor *DIDN'T DIE* on Trenzalore. The scar is not there for her to enter later! So, she can't be the impossible girl, because the scar isn't there for her to enter, and she *doesn't* go around saving the Doctor....
Oh, wait, I get it then. Suppose that's all true. So, what the devil happens to the Clara that is clearly back in that timeline, but has no way to ave ever gotten there? She is herself now a temporal anomaly, a truly impossible girl. That Clara can become Missy.
Except, if this is true, then Missy then cannot have automatic knowledge of events *after* Trenzalore - it is at that point that our Clara and Missy must diverge. She *doesn't* know the Doctor's going to show up in Victorian London with a dinosaur. Doesn't automatically know about the robots in the restaurant, and so on.
