[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6370171, member: 177"] Um, anyone who heard about the *GIANT DINOSAUR OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT* maybe? Those things don't happen in Victorian London every day without the Doctor's involvement. All you have to do then is look up Strax and Vastra, who aren't exactly hard to pick out in a crowd, if you know what I mean. But, none of that is necessary. You're speaking as if Missy is otherwise unconnected to these events, having newly stumbled in. If Missy is, instead, directly connected to the clockwork androids in some way, then there's no puzzle. Then, all we need is someone capable of some form of time-travel, or an extremely long lifespan. Time Lords have the one, and the clockwork androids have the other. Thus: another time lord (The Master, or the Rani) or the intelligence behind the androids. I can't rule out Clara herself, as she has the required information. But so far we've not seen her keep clear memory of events among the various bits of the Doctor's timeline, nor any ability to independently and willfully move her consciousness through time - basically, we don't see that she can plan and scheme across time to make things happen. They foreshadow so much on this show, I would have expected to see foreshadowing of such ability, if that is what they were going to do. 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. Oh, and I realized why it can't be River Song. River would refer to him as *husband*, not boyfriend. [/QUOTE]
