(look, I made a new icon too!)

Well, well, well. That gives us much food for thought, something to sink your teeth into.

cruising by from the whodaily flist to add a few suspects to your "something else I haven't thought of" list:

1) The Valeyard (who is the Doctor and who could fly the TARDIS)
2) Omega
3) The Celestial Toymaker (long shot but the whole fantasies coming to life thing suggests it maybe?)

Hmmm, yes, Omega did cross my mind too, but I dismissed him because I didn't think he had the motive; like the Master, he doesn't actually want to destroy the universe.

The Valeyard, (aka the Dream Lord) that's a thought. I'm 50/50 on the motives here. On the one hand, what we know of him indicates that he wants more life just as much as he wants to kill the Doctor. On the other hand, "only one person in the universe hates me as much as you do". The Valeyard might consider it a good trade, to destroy the universe with the Doctor in it.

The Celestial Toymaker? Naw, too much of a long shot, I think.

lol, yeah, I meant the master of fiction anyway... the dude who brought all the fictional characters to life with Two, Jamie and Zoe. Still an extremely long shot.

Does the valeyard hate the Doctor enough to kill the whole world just to see the Doctor set up for failure?

Or maybe it's the Black Guardian. He's an agent of chaos, though, so he might like the whole chaotic universe. Maybe it's the White Guardian, then? Nothing says "ultimate order" more like the destruction of everything, void and silence.

Ouch. That would be nasty twist.

And it would also be inspired by Big Finish, I think. The Key 2 Time series with Amy and Zara included the idea of the Black and White Guardians both being at each others' throats but not being seen in terms of "good" and "evil" but of ultimate chaos and ultimate order, both of which are bad for the universe, really. ;)

I thought of the Valeyard also--possibly only because the voice sounded like the Dream Lord. Hmmmm.
