User blog comment:TheScottBird/The Malevolent One: Conspiracy Theory/@comment-24028957-20131110023922

Nice theories! Both seem awfully believable, except for the first part, where Mal was apparently named Mal. Odd name, especially if it's a nickname for the Malevolent One. I can picture it now:

"THE MALEVOLENT ONE CHRISTOPHER SMITH! YOU GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW! THE GOLDFISH IS DEAD, AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY!"
