We never really talked about it but The Ugly Ducking that grew up to be a beautiful swan was still probably pretty fugly from a duck’s perspective

Like that story isn’t about an ugly duckling that grew up sexy, it’s a fucking swan was judged as a duck and hated itself as a duck until it found out it wasn’t a duck and stopped trying to be a duck.

The actual ducks in the neighborhood were probably still looking around at perfectly normal swans like “damn, look at those busted ass ducks”

This is pretty important, actually. The good ending is finding the other swans, not tearing yourself to pieces trying to impress the ducks.

absolute disaster sequence

Alright, time's up! The correct answer is... "It turns out, aliens built the Roman Colosseum"! For a while, I was worried I made the right answer too obvious, but, apparently I didn't!

And now, a little explanation for the other options:

"The Doctor tells a dalek 'KYS'". "Dalek", a dalek begs the Doctor for orders, who then promptly tells it to kill itself.

"The Doctor gets all friendly with a monster that looks like a penis and scrotum". "The Creature from the Pit". The titular creature looks incredibly phallus and the way the Doctor interacts with it, let's just say, Tom Baker knew exactly what it looked like and interacted with the prop as such.

"Sea vampires are repelled by the power of communism". "The Curse of Fenric". The main weakness of the sea vampires is faith, thus, someone uses their faith in communism to repel them.

"Aliens who fart a lot infiltrate Earth". "Aliens of London" and "World War Three". An alien family disguises themselves as fat people in order to take over Earth. A side effect of that disguise is that they fart a lot.

"The word 'unalive' is used as a euphemism for 'kill'". "Paradise Towers". The aliens of the week use "unalive" as a euphemism for "dead" and "kill". I know, it threw me for a loop when I first watched this serial.

"Honey, I Shrunk the TARDIS!" "Planet of Giants". The TARDIS and its crew end up on contemporary Earth, albeit shrunk down a bit.

"Honey, I Shrunk the Master!" "Planet of Fire". The Master was shrunk down because reasons, and so needed someone else to do his dirty work and restore him back to normal size.

"Mpreg happens at least once". "The Tsuranga Conundrum". An alien man is pregnant because his species reproduces the following way, women give birth to girls and men give birth to boys.

"Space witches appear". "The Shakespeare Code". A trio of alien witches try to use a lost Shakespeare play performed at the Globe Theater to take over the world.

"Killer Santas and killer Christmas trees attack London". "The Christmas Invasion". The killer Santas and Christmas trees are remoted controlled by aliens as part of a ploy to, you guessed it, take over the world.

"There's a long, long, long traffic jam that literally lasts for years". "Gridlock". Thanks to bureaucratic shenanigans, people who travel through an underground motorway can expect to reach their destination in about... ten years or so, if they ever make it at all.

Whenever I see someone talking about how we can't have a companion from the past beacuse the show can't figure out how to naturally have them interact with present technology I get extremely annoyed because we solved this problem fifty-five Omega-damned years ago. His name was Jamie McCrimmon, he was perfect, and whenever he encountered a modern day thing he didn't know about he just went "ah, that" and assumed the Doctor knew what was going on.

This is a solved problem!
