Okay, I'm a million seasons behind with DW but I've been on the periphery of the fandom (I watched Torchwood when that came out and a lot of the assistants do cameos in that too) and I've seen the up in arms thing and the possibility of a female doctor. Anyway, I don't know who Missy is (I am going to catch up on DW, especially since it's on Netflix) and I've kept my thoughts to myself because internet people love to gang up and attack, BUT...I feel the same as you. I mean, I'm not against feminism or anything, but having a female just to be politically correct rubs me the wrong way (like female quotas). I like many shows with strong female characters, when that's the established premise of the show. But DW is so different from....anything really. Idk. I think I'd rather see a male Doctor with a male companion over a female doctor (sorry, was just watching Torchwood and the dynamic between Jack and Ianto (I mean, even if they didn't have a relationship like they did) was really good. That's just my two cents. But I haven't seen past season 2 (although I've obviously seen the other doctors after through the internet) so maybe I don't count :P
