Howling:Midnight Entity

The Howling → Midnight Entity

Run back to the forums if you're scared.

I signed up just to discuss this theory, and its probably easily dismissed, but could the midnight entity possibly be The Master? I think its possible. From what i read about how in "The Waters of Mars" section, a scene where the doctor says he's there and there hasn't been any knocking and then suddenly there is a a knocking four times reminds me of the Midnight Entity. It also would help make sense as to why the Midnight Entity wanted to get rid of the doctor so much and The Master always did have that ability to persuade, just like the entity did with the other passengers in making it believe that the doctor was the bad one. Any thoughts?

I'm a seperate person, and I think this is correct. I have also developed a little theory for how he appeared on Midnight, and I think it is connected to both 'The Waters of Mars' and the ring...114.76.162.83 23:17, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

Alright, if the Midnight Entity is the Master, here's my theory for how it happened, though its a bit weird. First, we need to know who it was who picked up the ring. That will probably be revealed in End of Time. If it fell into Donna's hands, then possibly the consciousness inside the ring could have escaped onto Midnight. It said 'It's waited so long'. That could be how it felt to the creature, or it could have escaped the TARDIS during its course to Midnight and arrived anywhere on that planet's timeline. Now, if it was just a consciousness at the time, we still need to find how it could knock, or cast a shadow (though it (the shadow) have been a figment of the mechanic's imagination, caused by pyschic influence, and the knocking could have been actually cooling, but its precision being under the creature's influence. From there, it uses its (unhindered by bodily limits) pyschic abilities to cause the short-lived, but violent events before possessing Sky. Having been through the Time Vortex, and hypnotic abilities being possibly able to (albeit inaccurately) predict the mind patterns of beings, this would have been strengthened through its unprotected time travel, and so it could use this to guess speech patterns in order to mimic. I'm sure we can now easily guess the rest up to the end of Midnight.114.76.162.83 23:34, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

I think most of the clues as to who picked up the ring indicate it was Lucy Saxon (the laugh, the nail polish, et cetera). I personally don't really want the Midnight Entity to tie into the Master storyline; I prefer it ambiguous. Monkey with a Gun 04:36, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Neither do I, that's just my theory on that theory. But I am still dying to know what it was!114.76.162.83 09:51, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Another theory suggests that Donna picked up the Ring, seeing as Donna wasn't present, she could've been possesed by the Ring and she could've then been the Midnight entity, with no memories when she returns. She could've passed the Master's consciousness into Sky, but that would mean the Master's dead. But they'll find a way around it. Also, I doubt this'll actually happen, seeing as the Xtonic radiation would've killed Donna. Still, if it is true, they'll find a way around it. Bigredrabbit 05:28, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

It is possible seeing as Donna didn't play a very big part in it, that Donna is sometimes (when the doctor isn't around) controlled by the master and he uses his powers of telepathy and starts influencing the events on the bus, slowly taking people over. Saxon 3 15:56, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Maybe the Midnight Entity could be the Trickster (91.106.52.18 17:01, November 3, 2009 (UTC))
