Saw this on blogtor who and its probably just a misinformation campaign, but SJA brought it to the doctors doorstep, http://www.flickr.com/photos/cameronkmcewan/4477193338/. the trickster is the big bad boss of this season. could i be reading this wrong. 72.221.71.209 00:52, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
I saw this, but thought it seemed a bit too obvious. Parts of it make me think of the Beast, but you'd hardly describe him as a goblin... Midnight entity fits, though? In all honesty, I can hardly see Moffat re-using a monster for his first finale... But what do I know! :P Cannon881 20:15, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
"We must not look at goblin men, we must not buy their fruits, who knows upon what soil they fed their hungry, firsty roots." That was used to describe the Midnight entity. With the worlds trickster (making me think of the Trickster) and goblin (making me think of the Midnight entity), and the entity's description (making me think of the Beast), I have no idea what it could be. ;)
I will note, however, that the entity is described as falling from the sky. In The End of Time, the Woman refers to a demon falling from the sky abd being fought off by a man in a blue box - could that be foreshadowing the series 5 finale? Delton Menace 22:12, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
I'm intrigued. The Trickster certainly matches the "cloaked figure" that is described as following the Doctor and Amy. the twelfth doctor 15:32, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
Wait, isn't the figure described as a silent menace? Where did the 'clocked figure' thing come from? If so, then we have: nameless being, feared, puzzle box, and its cloacked...
I saw an on-set picture with a cloaked man in black, dressed in what looked like the Time Lord outfit. It could just as easily be the Valeyard. the twelfth doctor 07:15, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
That's the head vampire guy in the Vampire of Venice episode. Delton Menace 07:32, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
Then there's the rumor BIll Nighy is playing the Valeyard. the twelfth doctor 14:03, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
He is playing someone who apparantly had similar tastes to the Doctor in episode 10. It's just another one of those so-and-so-actor-might-be-playing-old-bad-guy rumours that don't come true. I think people are just desperate for old major bad guys to return, and so as soon as the colour black is scene, rumours start. But the cloacked man was seen with the vampires, and Bill Nighy's character had already got a minor description. Steven Moffat himself said he is against bringing any major characters back from the old series because he deems it 'unnessisery' and worries about alienating newer fans.
It's the same situation as how Gillian Anderson was hugely rumoured to be playing the Rani in series 5 ages ago onwards, but we can all safely say that's not true now. Delton Menace 15:21, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
I kind of guessed that. Just saw it on the Vincent and the Doctor page. the twelfth doctor 16:59, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
