The Valeyardisthe Doctor, or at least a regenerative culmination of his darkest tendencies.

Theres some evil in all of us Doctor, even you, smirks the Master with gleeful schadenfreude.

The Valeyard is an amalgamation of the darker sides of your nature.

Somewhere between your twelfth and final incarnation.

To be fair, there is an equally large contingent of Whovians that reject that 1980s limitation.

However, Davies hasnt been runningDoctor Whofor a long time; Steven Moffat has been.

And the reason is the Valeyard.

Welcome to the Tomb of the Doctor.

Before the end of the Doctors final regeneration, the Great Intelligence promises he will have other names.

Suddenly, all of the hinting throughout theDoctor Whomedia blitz for season eight comes into a frightful new focus.

Jenna Coleman has been swearing up and down every interview that Capaldis Doctor is darker than Smiths.

And how could he not be when you look into those eyes?

And what of Clara, the Impossible Girl?

Thus we come back to that final line.

Clara, tell me, am I a good man?

The companion who knows all the Doctors can only say with much hesitation, I dont know.

Perhaps, neither do we after all these years.

The Valeyard is still coming, and Moffat confirmed it last year.

If one does the math, he might already be here.

The Doctor just needs to answer his own question.
