Doctor Who Unveils Terrifying Midnight Entity’s Secret Past and Future Threats!

BBG News

The Doctor has explored a variety of genres over the years, including Western tales like “A Town Called Mercy” and comedies set in shared accommodations such as “The Lodger.” However, it excels particularly well at horror compared to most other sci-fi series. Since its debut in 1963 with “The Daleks,” Doctor Who has built a rich legacy of producing some of the most terrifying television experiences. Despite the fun that accompanies the Doctor’s journeys, they can also be downright chilling, even for the boldest of hearts. This lesson is vividly illustrated in the recently broadcasted episode of Doctor Who titled “The Well.

The episode titled ‘The Well’ stands as one of the darkest instalments in the Doctor Who series. This chilling and suspenseful storyline features a base under attack, where the Fifteenth Doctor and Belinda unwittingly encounter an army of soldiers on their way to an interstellar mine, after communication with a mining colony was lost. Upon arrival, they discover that the majority of the mining community has been gruesomely murdered by a mysterious being. The lone survivor is Aliss, the deaf cook. Remarkably, this terrifying entity shares a connection to one of the Doctor’s past adventures – it turns out to be the fearsome Midnight Entity, known for its intriguing background within the Doctor Who universe.

David Tennant First Encountered This Doctor Who Monster

In “The Well,” we encounter once more the solitary entity from the crystalline planet Midnight, initially introduced in the “Doctor Who” episode titled “Midnight.” This enigmatic world boasts stunning waterfalls made of diamonds and sapphires, but its lethal atmosphere filled with x-tonic radiation and lack of breathable air make it nearly inhospitable for human life. In the story “Midnight,” Midnight has been transformed into a high-end vacation spot, featuring spas and tour buses that ensure visitors can safely traverse the planet’s surface. The Entity is the sole inhabitant capable of surviving on the planet’s harsh surface, with no other known members of its species existing at present.

In neither “Midnight” nor “The Well” is the elusive Midnight Entity ever caught on sight. Characters from both stories are left guessing about its appearance, as they only know it as an unseen terror lurking in the shadows. Remarkably, even the Doctor, who has traversed countless centuries across the universe, has no prior knowledge of this enigmatic creature. Since its introduction in “Doctor Who,” the Midnight Entity has remained a nameless species, adding to the intrigue and mystery surrounding it, more so than even the Doctor themselves.

In the story “Midnight,” an uninvited being, known as the Midnight Entity, breaks into the spaceship, Crusader 50 shuttle. Fortunately for the other travelers, this intrusion occurs when the Doctor is among them. This entity delights in tormenting its victims and manipulating their emotions. Throughout this tale, it does so by repeating the conversations of the passengers, and eventually stealing their voices by convincing others to eject its victim out of the ship’s airlock.

This formidable creature even manages to replicate the Doctor’s voice, causing the Time Lord to feel unusually disturbed by the experience. The Midnight Entity is an intelligent lifeform that can perfectly duplicate patterns, such as when it mimics the Doctor and Mr. Crane knocking on Crusader 50’s door. It’s incredibly elusive, entering the shuttle bus without leaving any trace of a break-in, and extremely powerful, tearing apart the cockpit and killing the drivers in the process.

Most notably, the Midnight Entity takes control of Crusader 50’s hostess, Sky Sylvestry, before inhabiting the Doctor. The passengers are terrified as it flawlessly imitates both Sky and the Doctor’s speech patterns.

400,000 Years Have Passed For The Entity In The Well

400,000 years have elapsed since the planet where Midnight Entity resided was transformed from a vibrant world into a desolate landscape, ravaged by war and mining. The Entity, previously solitary, has spent this time observing the behavior of the mining colonists. Now, it has gained the ability to interact with other beings, making it an even more formidable adversary. An unfortunate encounter with interstellar miners before the events of “The Well” triggers a chain of deadly events as the Entity infiltrates their base through its well.

The Midnight Phantom now employs a fresh strategy to torment its victims since the “Midnight” incident. Rather than imitating their speech, it conceals itself within its host. Its objective is to induce madness in its prey by causing them to suspect that someone or something lurks behind its host. The Entity’s approach for eliminating its targets is exceptionally grisly. Once the host has been violently hurled against the mining colony’s wall, the Entity proceeds to shatter every bone in their body. This creature’s victims suffer a gruesome and agonizing demise if they are unfortunate enough to encounter it.

In “The Well,” a notable development with the Midnight Entity involves its method of communication with its host. Instead of echoing phrases, it now directly whispers into their ear. This is demonstrated when the Entity attaches itself to Belinda before she gets shot by Shaya, and later possesses Shaya. The Entity’s whispers drive individuals mad, causing them to turn against their companions. However, the Entity doesn’t switch hosts unless its current host is near death or deceased, or if it sees its own reflection. In Aliss’s first encounter with the Midnight Entity, she was compelled to kill her best friend due to the Entity’s manipulation. Since Aliss is deaf, she remains unaffected by the Entity’s whispers because she can’t hear them, making her immune to its psychological influence.

In the thrilling finale of “The Well,” it’s revealed that Shaya, the character I was rooting for, became the final vessel for the enigmatic Midnight Entity. Given the Entity had found sanctuary on her back, she bravely chose to jump into the Well, sacrificing herself in an attempt to destroy it. Yet, the bittersweet ending hints that the Midnight Entity managed to survive somehow.

Similarly, the latest episode of “Doctor Who” leaves us with a chilling cliffhanger. The villainous Entity appears to have latched onto Mo, suggesting this terrifying Doctor Who antagonist might haunt the Doctor once more. This intriguing twist could mean that the Midnight Entity boasts an incredibly resilient form, capable of surviving falls from significant heights—something Shaya was tragically unable to endure.

As a movie buff who adores Doctor Who, I find myself utterly captivated by the mysterious air surrounding the Midnight Entity’s knowledge of the Doctor’s true identity. The Doctor’s actual name is known only to a select few, with most merely acknowledging him as “The Doctor,” a revered Time Lord. It takes someone extraordinary or significant in his life, like his wife River Song or his old adversary, the Master, to earn such an intimate revelation from the Doctor. Rumors even suggest that his name carries the potential for apocalyptic consequences, as seen in “The Name Of The Doctor,” where it was used to open his grave on Trenzalore, altering his timeline and causing ripples throughout the Web of Time. The Midnight Entity’s grasp of this secret hints at its impressive power, suggesting that it may possess telepathic abilities capable of delving deep into the Doctor’s mind and uncovering such a closely-guarded truth.
