Howling:The Gate

In the Sarah Jane Adventures tomorrow - The wedding of Sarah Jane Smith - The Trickster tells The Doctor something about 'The Gate'. 'The Gate' also has something to do with The End of Time because it has been heard whilst filming. Could The Gate be something to do with the darkness if so are the timelords coming through it? Any other ideas? Saxon 3 17:14, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Maybe it has something to do with the gates of elyssium ? something time war related anywho :)

The Gates of Elysium was the place where Davros died and from what I can surmise is where most of the casualties occured. There has been speculation early on that the time war would be fleshed out in detail at some time during the series. with the master and time lords back, maybe the time war will become unlocked and the war will commence and be "the end of time", i know i went into too much detail Geffe71 04:52, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Maybe the time lords are stuck behind the gate, and the doctr has to make a choice. Either set the time lords free or let Donna die.Saxon 3 17:18, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

The Gate was also referenced in an interview that Russell T. Davies did with the Radio Times for the release of The Next Doctor. His exact wording was:

“After that, we’ll be heading towards the momentous day when the key to that blue box is passed on, and the 11th Doctor storms into your lives. Just think of the adventures to come. Though, you’ll still have David at the helm of the Tardis this time next year. But oh, what a Christmas that’s going to be. Let’s just say that dark forces are gathering already. The Gate is waiting and life will never be the same again…” Slartibarto 16:31, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Makes me wonder one thing; with the forces of Darkness gathering at the Gate: If the Pantheon of discord is behind it, would that mean the Master isn't the big bad in the final story? We know that the Pantheon want to spread chaos and, as nasty as he is, the Master wants to establish order(with himself in charge, obviously) Could his goals be similar to the Doctor's in this story, as it relates to the gate?
