| Okay, trying to make sense of this. I'm going to try and not overassume, stick to what happens and what the characters say.

| We know pretty much anything living would be vaporized outside. When Sky "awakes" she keeps mentioning feeling, breathing, pain, body heat etc. This creature seems to want a host because it can't get any of that outside. To me, that would sound like a spirit, with no physical form.
| | {{ArchCat}} |
| How did it cut off the drivers or knock on the ship though; at a guess, it can possess midnight's diamonds in some form (explaining why no one could see anything when looking outside, it was just "something moving").

|
| :It is most likely some sort of spirit/psychic parasite thingy, but it could also have a physical body, but be a radically different form of life (hence the not breathing, feeling, having body heat, etc.) So then it was physically hitting the bus.

| It starts focusing on the Doctor as soon as he starts freaking out, keeps repeating "If you want to get out of here, you need me". Getting the Doctor thrown out was probably just an act of "defense". What would have happened otherwise would probably be some sort of contagion through the entire ship. The creature finds a host, contaminates another (freeing the former), which in turn is passed on to another and so on.

| :Or it just didn't like the Doctor or it doesn't realise that the outside is fatal for everyone else or it seemed like a good idea at the time or it has a radically different thought pattern and therefore doesn't have human-like reasons.
| | This page constantly refers to the Midnight Entity as an “it”, even though in the episode the creature refers to themselves as a “he” during the scene where Sky overtakes the Doctor. |

|
| Capillotracted theory: The creature wants bodies. Since, when it's thrown out, the Doctor is released and fine it's probably a single entity able to control multiple bodies. As I said above, it seems to want to be able to feel, move, ... what more than having multiple bodies to do so?
| | “He’s waited so long, in the dark, and the cold, and the diamonds.” |
|
| |
|
| :If it wants multiple hosts, then it wouldn't want to throw one of its hosts out.
| | “That’s how he does it. He makes you fight.” |
|
| |
|
| Less-freaky-but-still-very-creepy theory: It's never seen humans before; when coming upon the ship, it stopped it and took some time to observe everyone's reactions. Instinctively, when attacking, it would go for the entity that's most afraid. Taking control of their brain would also make it learn and the first thing it finds is fear, paranoia. Instinctively again, it would seek even more of it and create a creep effect.
| | “Just listen, that’s him.” |
|
| |
|
| :If it's never encountered humans before, why would it chose to go after one emotion over another? | | [[Special:Contributions/88.110.250.183|88.110.250.183]]<sup>[[User talk:88.110.250.183#top|talk to me]]</sup> 11:59, 31 July 2022 (UTC) |
| | |
| As for why the entity being controlled can't move (but isn't completely paralyzed), I have no idea; probably just to add to the "plain weird".
| |
| | |
| :Otherwise the potential hosts will make a run for it.
| |
| | |
| I'll watch this episode a few times more later on and maybe give more thoughts into it. I'd like some other opinions about it though, it's an intriguing creature even though it seems like we'll never see it again. [[User:Adys|Adys]] 06:52, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

| :The thing about the Midnight Entity is that is was specifically created to be mysterious. It's really not a good idea to try to explain this creature, since it was intended to be unexplainable. -<[[User:Azes13|Azes13]] 17:38, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn’t the pronouns for this creature be changed?[[edit source]]
This page constantly refers to the Midnight Entity as an “it”, even though in the episode the creature refers to themselves as a “he” during the scene where Sky overtakes the Doctor.
“He’s waited so long, in the dark, and the cold, and the diamonds.”
“That’s how he does it. He makes you fight.”
“Just listen, that’s him.”
