I made a terrible mistake.
Why is the tooth so important?
Who is the One Who Waits?
Whose hand was that?
Were not so certain about the answers to those questions, but we do have a few educated guesses.
Why Is the Gold Tooth Important?
Among the many boasts the Toymaker offers is the story of the Master, the Doctors arch-enemy from Gallifrey.
And who is that larger force?
Theres only player I dared not face, he says with menace.
The one who waits.
But when the Doctor presses him for more information, the Toymaker only responds, Thats someone elses game.
Now, this One Who Waits could certainly be a new character designed by returning showrunnerRussell T Davies.
And since his introduction, the War Chief has been connected to the Master.
From his first appearance, the Sixth Doctor struggled with darker, more cowardly instincts.
According to the Master, the Valeyard springs from somewhere between [the Doctors] twelfth and final incarnation.
So, Whose Hand Picked Up the Gold Tooth?
In place of wild speculation, lets take a look at what we do know.
In short, we saw everyone doing something when the hand reached out to grab the tooth.
Still, that doesnt rule out any of the people we know were atAvengers TowerUNIT headquarters.
The only main character wearing red nail polish/varnish was Kate Stewart.
This, however, doesnt mean it was her.
Did Mel pick up a few tricks of her own?
What if a Zingo is something far worse than just a thing to get a lift off of?
And how about Shirley Bingham (Ruth Madeley)?
In her few appearances, shes shown to be much more than she appears.
Does she have some interest in the Master?
One of the big names added to the cast isJinkx Monsoon, a star ofRuPauls Drag Race.
Meanwhile,Obi Wan KenobiandGame of Thronesalum Indira Varma has been cast as a character called The Duchess.
Up to you whether you want to actually believe that or not.
So, has the Ranis time finally come?
Is the Valeyard back to frighten fans?
Or is it just a regular ol hand and were all reading too much into it?
Honestly, were not sure.
And thats a good thing.
