10 Doctor Who Episodes With Disturbing Implications
1. The Master Becomes Every Unborn Baby On Earth (The End Of Time)
The End Of Time is a bonkers story, in no small part due to the fact that the Master's evil plot is his craziest one to date. He doesn't try something simple and bog-standard - oh no. What he actually decides to do is to transform every single human on the planet into a duplicate of himself. Yeah. It's wacky as hell.
The End Of Time already has a lot on its plate, so it doesn't really delve into the global ramifications of this scheme, and because of this, it leaves an important (and disturbing) question unaddressed: what happened to all the pregnant women?
The Master uses an Immortality Gate to turn all humans into exact clones of himself. This means that people change in size, as well as in appearance: chunky people become slim, just like the Master, and small kids morph into full-sized adults.
So if the Immortality Gate factors in unborn babies... then pregnant women all around the world will suddenly explode a John Simm-sized man out of their bellies.
The much nicer alternative is that the unborn baby counts as part of the woman, so her entire body transforms into a single Master. But unfortunately... we'll never know for sure.
