craziest thing about missy's collateral damage line in death in heaven is that I always forget that shes not referring to the destruction of something. in amongst their many schemes against each other, shes not talking about the loss of something, of chaos and death and entropy, of the destruction of gallifrey - shes referring to the doctor SAVING IT. she's saying: saving our home planet and every other member of our species was COLLATERAL DAMAGE in your heroic mission, in your desperate grasp at the end of the time war, that really it was ME you couldn't bear to see dead. insane implications
