We’re not sure if it existed at all. The clever thing about the episode is that there was an alternate explanation for everything that happened, so it could’ve been nothing. The Doctor’s original nightmare was only Clara, after all.
The most recent Lives of Captain Jack implied that the knocking on the space ship might have just been Jack and River screwing with the time traveller.
The twist at the end of listen was amazing. It had me there. That’s the beauty of the show, reflected in one episode.
@Yuvigician The twist at the end ruined it for me. There were things, like the something under the blanket on Danny's bed, that are too concrete in my opinion, to be explained by it actually being "nothing."
Not to mention how the continuity of Orson Pink is completely obliterated by Danny's death. I know Moffat tried to explain the Orson thing out-of-universe, but I don't buy it. However, I digress.
I think there are much better examples of the trope of "the bad guy isn't actually bad" in the show.
The thing under the blanket could have easily been a kid messing with them. And time can be rewritten.
@Icecreamdif It could have been. And yes, time can be rewritten, but cases like that feel like really cheap writing to me.
Very well could have just been The Doctor messing with himself
Also to make sure certain events take place such as Clara grabbing his foot
Um...floof?
What do you think?
