'Who' refers to a person, an organism, not a thing. You can tell. Everyone is scared of him. He's scared of himself. He knows what he can do, and that's his worst fear. Him.
It's quite evidently the TARDIS as you can hear the cloister bell. This can also be heard in many different episodes through the DW Seasons. Every time is in the TARDIS.
@lorvincent i believe its the Master. but remember, its what they fear the most so the beast can eat their belif- ah screw it,its too complicated to explain. all thoug the Master is his greatest enemy, he is als his best friend.
The doctor’s biggest fear is obviously himself. He looked into his room and saw himself, which made him realise that his biggest enemy is himself, and that he has killed lots of people and has led many friends to their deaths.
I reckon due to the tardis noise and the who else i reckon its the doctor, alone and friendless again, as he can become so angry and scary that he drives his friends away and that is what scares him.
that was the tardis cloyster bell -its the warning tone that signifies a universe ending threat -in other words he fears not being able to save the day when it matters -hes let people die but he always manages to save peoples lives who would have other wise been lost -i think he fears him not being able to save some one
well the episode is titled the god complex, it could be a double meaning since the doctor is afraid of death and is strictly an atheist, people fear what they usually dont understand and the thought of an entity that controls everything probably frightens him.
I hear a clock ticking, but that might have just been the forshadowing for the next episodes. Another theory I have is that it could be the Master... Either that, or that just hopeful thinking for my part. I'd love to see the Master with the Eleventh Doctor at least once.
Try to look in his eye, that thin line of light that's reflected. It looks like a mirrored phrase Police Phone Box so more than likely it's the TARDIS
I was wrong. Its not the next Doctor. Its not what he fears, but what he relies on to overcome those fears. The minotaur feeds off belief. And what the Doctor relies on most, believes in most, is not himself... its the TARDIS.
Whatever is in the room will make you loose all your faith, the Doctor hates himself and tells Amy not to have faith in him, since he doesn't want to screw her life up.
So I think in his room is himself standing over Amy & Rory's Dead Bodies.
If this means, that you don't know what the Cloister Bell is: It's an alarm that can be usally heard inside the cloister room of the TARDIS, but only in the greatest possible emergencies - so, when the Doctor hears the Cloister Bell the TARDIs his inhabtitants and so very likely the whole universe are in great danger. It is the Doctor-Who-version of the Last Trump ;-)
I think it´s himself left alone in the Tardis, because in Amy´s choice there was that Dream Lord,, which was him actually, so i think that the Doctor´s biggest fear is himself in the end
Maybe his sixth incarnation? After all that version of him did make an attempt on his companions life (though he was still awesome)
Or his first incarnation, before he became a hero. Coz in the early episodes the Doctor was a bit nasty. He didn't care about leaving someone to die and he tried to kill a wounded caveman with a rock. Maybe he's scared of that version of himself (though again, the first doctor was still awesome)
Someone is only drawn to their room if they have faith in someone or something because that can protect them from the fear that is in the room, so that means the doctor might have faith in someone other than himself(cause hes the number one person he trusts-Revealed in "the impossible astronaut")
1.Himself- Cause he isnt just any Timelord
2.River- She plays a major role in the Doctors life
or Someone we havent met, possibly from Gallifrey like a parent or someone else.
hhmmm, it might be death, or the time lords, or all of the companions dieing which is still death...see, it's very dificult for him to die, which makes death much bigger than for us, but still, i could see him fearing it.
I agree with all those people who said it's himself, but just to be an ass, I think it's the fear of that camera zoomed up extremely close to the Doctor's face.
I have to go for whoever tried to blow up the Tardis in the pandorica opens. The sound heard was exactly the same and we all know that Moffat likes to put small things of what's to come in, so whatever this is is yet to come. If it was himself it would be the Valeyard but we're still one regen from him so that's unlikely. I like to think this is all a signal of the return of Omega, as they're doing the Doctor's name which mean they'll be using 'The Other' in some form and so Omega makes sense.
I think it's himself but himself alone. He fears being alone which is how he finds himself at the end of the episode. Amy confronts her fear of the Doctor failing to save her by coming to terms that he isn't perfect and the Doctor comes to terms with his own fear by letting Amy and Rory go.
The romantic in me wants to say he saw River-not his River but the psychopath she was supposed to become, a minion of the Silence. After all, imagine how much guilt he must feel knowing that he changed her life so drastically like that, and seeing what she would have become because of him. The other half of me thinks its himself, after what we saw in 'Amy's Choice' and of course the whole 'destroyer of Gallifrey' thing, it's not hard to imagine what dark parts the doctor keeps hidden away.
this is one of many things that has not been solved... another is, anyone know who was that lady in the End of Time (Christmas SP) that went against the call of the Time Lords to war?... as for this, i think is either himself or Rose (because it is about finding faith in something/someone to overcome the fear, he does believe in her) or seeing the people he cares about dying... either way, the number 11 on the door might incline to the former...
when i saw this episode, i remember hearing the sound of the tardis dying when he opens the door. maybe he saw when the tardis actually dies? therefore he can no longer time travel.... essentially making the doctor powerless
Well, but seeing himself connected with the sound could be exactly what frightens him. And didn't we learn, that the most dangerous beeing in the universe is in fact the Doctor himself. That's at least the irony of the character: beeing the last Time-Lord means also that noone is controlling him and in "The Waters of Mars" we saw this aspect of him and well... the episode is not entiteled "The God Complex" just because of the Minotaur ;-)
Serious theory: I don't think that it is something substantial, more an idea or should I say an answer. The answer to the oldes question in the universe: "Doctor Who?" His true self, because this is the thing he is running away from since we first met him, right?
The one dude that created the daleks hi voice came out of the tardis in "the pandorica opens" I think it that or it himself or Amy waiting but that was amy's. Also who does he worship!!!!!!
@lopyhq It's not necessarily who he worships, simply who he has faith in. Which could be a load of people: Rose, Martha, Donna, Sarah Jane, Amy . . . but he probably has faith in himself as much as he fears himself. Which is why the creepy rhino thing couldn't turn the faith into worship.
i see a lot of people think it's himself and i would say that too BUT i have a idea it might be river song. since we find out that at a fixed point in his timeline river kills him. and he has been running from that point in time for a LONG time. oh and as far as the tardis exploding goes that happened after the doctor was put into the pandorica and he stopped it by throwing the pandorica into the explosion.
When he opens the door you can hear that sound tttttttngg ttttttttng.When the master maked the Tardis a paradox she was hurt and maked that sound.He said:-Tardis is dead if we don't repair it.But i think it could be and The Valeyard
An alternate universe where the 1996 movie was successful as a backdoor pilot and the executives of Fox got 50% creative control over the franchise. Lord knows how those schmucks love to fuck up science fiction shows.
it the doctor himself. The doctor once said a good man doesn't need rules. He then said toady is not a good day to find out why I have so many. it was in when a good man goes to war while he was talking to colonel runaway. I think he was afraid of what he might do. only one have we ever seen his anger and that was without fury. He granted that family immortality like they wanted instead of leaving him alone while he hid as a human in earths past.
I thought that it would be himself alone, with no friends or companions. Or possibly another event like the time war, which he is assumed to have ended by killing everyone; that would explain the bells and his being alone. Based on what I take from the show - he seems to be rather afraid of being lonely: last of his kind and all that jazz.
@neil25ify amy isn't THAT important over the course of time. his greatest fear wouldn't be that, just because he has lived ninehundred years and there have been hundreds of amy's
The doctors greatest fear is himself because he's got all those people killed because they followed him and he has to watch the universe go on by and he has to watch everything die
ITS DALEKS! it has to be, the Doctor always has that smile when ever he sees them. thats why he' smirks at it [implying amusement]. think about it, he had to kill his race to try and kill them yet they keep popping up and driving the doctor insane, please tell me if you all agree
no he is the 11th and 11 is also known as a symbol of imortality and is afraid of turnign himself into a monster and making them praise him like an imortal god
Its Himself! there is nothing more that he hates than his past! He killed and he fears it might come back and he might kill again! and also the minotaur god said: "An ancient creature drenched in the blood of the innocent, drifting in space through an endless shifting maze. For such a creature, death would be a gift." it would be a gift for the Doctor to die, but he always runs and cheats Death . He never stops and he never looks back. Thats why he hates himself.
@orangeninjadaniel thats a fair point i think of it in my point of view and shadowpersona's also said something that is very true like the fear of power which i didnt mention directly....but i do think its him
The Doctor has already said he has no real faith, so he wouldn't become one of the minotaurs servant, but the question is... whats behind the door? Mabye he fears fear itself, seeing him looking at his fear... Mabye he has a dark side, killing his compainons on purpose... Mabye he sees himself doing nothing, having no purpose, no life... Nah! Its probably a dalex and a cyberman having sex!
Here's a thought. The doctor is running. Running from nothing. To do this he is doing everything. But of course, once hes done everything, saved every planet, touched everyones lives, seen everything, been everywhere, solved every puzzle, been in and been involved in every event, prevented every disaster, defeated every villain, read every book, watched every film and quite possibly, wrote a novel or two- what then? Thats his fear, when he's done everything, he has no purpose.
@DeltaMetroid1 The last thing he has yet to do after all of that is die, then his life would end and he'd need no purpose... Hows that for a logical paradox...
it won't be a dalek we all already know he is; t scared of them he fought them to many times for it not to be plus it would have killed i have a feeling we just wont ever know but we can sit here all day and talk about it this is just my opinion if you have any ideas and definitive reasons i will listen and make my decision on what it could be
all his life he keeps moving and doing amazing stuff. psychologically speaking trying to avoid and confront something (like his death or him killing all the time lords).
'who else?' could be the next person to replace him (river song?)
The sound is definitely the tardises core failing meaning a huge explosion the most probable answer is the destruction of time and space and everything that ever was and ever could be reality ceasing to exist
oh it's definitely himself. he's had bouts with the inherent darkness of his personality (especially on waters of mars). he's afraid of what he'll become when he loses perspective. he's afraid of what he'll become when he thinks he can control the universe and that other life forms are beneath him. he's afraid of turning into Sheldon Cooper.
My apologize I did my math wrong there for a second, thirteen regeneration cycles means that he can only have one more life for a total of twelve forms or lives.
The doctor has thirteen regeneration cycles but if he is killed in the middle of regeneration he is then truly died. That's the catch in the Time Lords ability to cheat death. So after Matt Smith there can be two more Doctors but only two.
If he is the eleventh doctor wouldn't that make him the last doctor and wouldn't that cancel the show? Also I was pretty sure he had no more regenerations left since he is the last doctor but how come in the season opener he was killed during regeneration? He cant regenerate, so how is it possible he was even going to?
Look if you don't no what the sound was when he opened the door then your just not a fan because everyone should no what it is he is flying her everyday
heres somthing no one seems to concider, i think when they said "the fall of the 11th" they were actually talking about a season, like as in the 11th day of the fall
ok so room number 11 indicateing the 11th doctor he refers to someone by saying "of course,who ells" therefore it is eather himself or his deth "at the fall of the eleventh the uestion shall be asked then silance will fall..his silance
Taking into account everything cheabeastmode said, we also need to consider one more factor...his fear of power. The Doctor is afraid of using the power of time-travel for himself. His self-proclaimed purpose is to help others, to give everything a second chance. He takes the name "Doctor", one who saves lives. He knows the power of time-travel, and what could happen if it was in the wrong hands. Using that power for himself would make him into a tyrant.
@ShadowPersona360 and that is my theory as well. We got a tiny glimpse of that in Waters of Mars, and I think that's the thing that scares him the most. That's why he didn't want the Master to die; he wanted someone to share this burden of power with. An accountability partner, so to speak.
@orangeninjadaniel And I haven't seen much of the Classic Doctor Who series, (I plan to) but I believe that's who the Valeyard is. The Valeyard represents the dark side of the Doctor, and is said to occur somewhere between the Doctor's 12th and 13th forms, ( 11th and 12th regenerations. After he regenerates 12 times.) which would be soon.
@isaoij Well, River transferred her time lord energy into the Doctor, so SHE lost the ability to regenerate, however the Doctor regained HIS ability in the transfer, and will regenerate AS LONG AS the damage done to him didn't severly affect his body, or something like drowning
@orangeninjadaniel I hope that's not too soon, even though I know it's just a matter of time... also, the bells were the tardis bells, similar to the bells he heard when the tardis finished regenerating at the beginning of the eleventh hour. I don't know if that was relevant or not.
@ShadowPersona360 There's a slight problem with that theory. Like, I find it funny how everyone ignores the Cloister bell tolling. However, yes, otherwise I agree with that theory.
@philip639 well if The Doctor turns all "i'm the lord of time and can do whatever I want; the world will tremble before me", he may very well end up doing some monstrous time-scheme like the master, which would cause the Cloister Bell to ring.
0:18 when he opens the door, it's the sound of the cloister bell.

Were the tardis effects added in there by the uploader? Because if they weren't I'd say his greatest fear would be something happening to the tardis.

The one dude that created the daleks hi voice came out of the tardis in "the pandorica opens" I think it that or it himself or Amy waiting but that was amy's. Also who does he worship!!!!!!

@lopyhq It's not necessarily who he worships, simply who he has faith in. Which could be a load of people: Rose, Martha, Donna, Sarah Jane, Amy . . . but he probably has faith in himself as much as he fears himself. Which is why the creepy rhino thing couldn't turn the faith into worship.

i see a lot of people think it's himself and i would say that too BUT i have a idea it might be river song. since we find out that at a fixed point in his timeline river kills him. and he has been running from that point in time for a LONG time. oh and as far as the tardis exploding goes that happened after the doctor was put into the pandorica and he stopped it by throwing the pandorica into the explosion.
Dragonking1984 1 month ago
I think his worst fear is Tardis' death.
When he opens the door you can hear that sound tttttttngg ttttttttng.When the master maked the Tardis a paradox she was hurt and maked that sound.He said:-Tardis is dead if we don't repair it.But i think it could be and The Valeyard

it the doctor himself. The doctor once said a good man doesn't need rules. He then said toady is not a good day to find out why I have so many. it was in when a good man goes to war while he was talking to colonel runaway. I think he was afraid of what he might do. only one have we ever seen his anger and that was without fury. He granted that family immortality like they wanted instead of leaving him alone while he hid as a human in earths past.

I thought that it would be himself alone, with no friends or companions. Or possibly another event like the time war, which he is assumed to have ended by killing everyone; that would explain the bells and his being alone. Based on what I take from the show - he seems to be rather afraid of being lonely: last of his kind and all that jazz.

That's definitely a TARDIS sound, so could it be his death?? Since the TARDIS is telepathic and linked to the Doctor, maybe when he dies it dies too.

Its Himself! there is nothing more that he hates than his past! He killed and he fears it might come back and he might kill again! and also the minotaur god said: "An ancient creature drenched in the blood of the innocent, drifting in space through an endless shifting maze. For such a creature, death would be a gift." it would be a gift for the Doctor to die, but he always runs and cheats Death . He never stops and he never looks back. Thats why he hates himself.

TenorZero 1 month ago
The Doctor has already said he has no real faith, so he wouldn't become one of the minotaurs servant, but the question is... whats behind the door? Mabye he fears fear itself, seeing him looking at his fear... Mabye he has a dark side, killing his compainons on purpose... Mabye he sees himself doing nothing, having no purpose, no life... Nah! Its probably a dalex and a cyberman having sex!
TheAfroThunder1 1 month ago
Lets look at the evidence...
- He's not usauly afraid of anything alien, except The Dalexs, Davros and/or The Silence...
- He's killed all (Except The Master) Time Lords...
- He sometimes blames his companions death on himself...
- His names a secret...
I think it's either The Silence, his or his companons death, his name, and/or the Time Lords death...
Or him turning out to be Rivers dad...

TheAfroThunder1 1 month ago
Here's a thought. The doctor is running. Running from nothing. To do this he is doing everything. But of course, once hes done everything, saved every planet, touched everyones lives, seen everything, been everywhere, solved every puzzle, been in and been involved in every event, prevented every disaster, defeated every villain, read every book, watched every film and quite possibly, wrote a novel or two- what then? Thats his fear, when he's done everything, he has no purpose.

@DeltaMetroid1 The last thing he has yet to do after all of that is die, then his life would end and he'd need no purpose... Hows that for a logical paradox...

it won't be a dalek we all already know he is; t scared of them he fought them to many times for it not to be plus it would have killed i have a feeling we just wont ever know but we can sit here all day and talk about it this is just my opinion if you have any ideas and definitive reasons i will listen and make my decision on what it could be

all his life he keeps moving and doing amazing stuff. psychologically speaking trying to avoid and confront something (like his death or him killing all the time lords).
'who else?' could be the next person to replace him (river song?)

The sound is definitely the tardises core failing meaning a huge explosion the most probable answer is the destruction of time and space and everything that ever was and ever could be reality ceasing to exist

oh it's definitely himself. he's had bouts with the inherent darkness of his personality (especially on waters of mars). he's afraid of what he'll become when he loses perspective. he's afraid of what he'll become when he thinks he can control the universe and that other life forms are beneath him. he's afraid of turning into Sheldon Cooper.

XIIIKelevra 1 month ago
The doctor has thirteen regeneration cycles but if he is killed in the middle of regeneration he is then truly died. That's the catch in the Time Lords ability to cheat death. So after Matt Smith there can be two more Doctors but only two.

If he is the eleventh doctor wouldn't that make him the last doctor and wouldn't that cancel the show? Also I was pretty sure he had no more regenerations left since he is the last doctor but how come in the season opener he was killed during regeneration? He cant regenerate, so how is it possible he was even going to?

broletsplayminecraft 2 months ago
I think the answer is... Himself.
Taking into account everything cheabeastmode said, we also need to consider one more factor...his fear of power. The Doctor is afraid of using the power of time-travel for himself. His self-proclaimed purpose is to help others, to give everything a second chance. He takes the name "Doctor", one who saves lives. He knows the power of time-travel, and what could happen if it was in the wrong hands. Using that power for himself would make him into a tyrant.
ShadowPersona360 2 months ago 9
@ShadowPersona360 and that is my theory as well. We got a tiny glimpse of that in Waters of Mars, and I think that's the thing that scares him the most. That's why he didn't want the Master to die; he wanted someone to share this burden of power with. An accountability partner, so to speak.
orangeninjadaniel 1 month ago
@orangeninjadaniel And I haven't seen much of the Classic Doctor Who series, (I plan to) but I believe that's who the Valeyard is. The Valeyard represents the dark side of the Doctor, and is said to occur somewhere between the Doctor's 12th and 13th forms, ( 11th and 12th regenerations. After he regenerates 12 times.) which would be soon.
orangeninjadaniel 1 month ago
@orangeninjadaniel agreed. The Valeyard is the most likely candidate.
idgarad 1 month ago
@orangeninjadaniel but can he regenerate, in "let's kill hitler" the poison made him unable to do it, so there might not be a 12th doctor?
isaoij 1 month ago
@isaoij Well, River transferred her time lord energy into the Doctor, so SHE lost the ability to regenerate, however the Doctor regained HIS ability in the transfer, and will regenerate AS LONG AS the damage done to him didn't severly affect his body, or something like drowning
ShadowPersona360 1 month ago
@orangeninjadaniel I hope that's not too soon, even though I know it's just a matter of time... also, the bells were the tardis bells, similar to the bells he heard when the tardis finished regenerating at the beginning of the eleventh hour. I don't know if that was relevant or not.

@ShadowPersona360 There's a slight problem with that theory. Like, I find it funny how everyone ignores the Cloister bell tolling. However, yes, otherwise I agree with that theory.

@philip639 well if The Doctor turns all "i'm the lord of time and can do whatever I want; the world will tremble before me", he may very well end up doing some monstrous time-scheme like the master, which would cause the Cloister Bell to ring.
