"Doomsday" is the thirteenth and final episode in the second series of the revival of the British science fiction television programme ''Doctor Who''. It was first broadcast on 8 July 2006 and is the conclusion of a two-part story; the first part, "Army of Ghosts", was broadcast on 1 July 2006. The two-part story features the Daleks, presumed extinct after the events of the 2005 series' finale, and the Cybermen, who appeared in a parallel universe in "Rise of the Cybermen" and "The Age of Steel". Both species unexpectedly arrive on Earth at the conclusion of "Army of Ghosts". The concept of the Daleks and the Cybermen both appearing on-screen was first proposed in 1967, but was vetoed by Terry Nation, the creator of the Daleks. The episode is the first conflict between the two species in ''Doctor Who''s 45-year history, and features Billie Piper's last appearance in the lead companion role as Rose Tyler; the final regular appearance of Noel Clarke as Rose's ex-boyfriend and previous companion Mickey Smith; and the final regular appearances of Camille Coduri and Shaun Dingwall as Rose's parents, Jackie and Pete Tyler. The episode was filmed in December 2005 and January 2006, alongside the episodes "Rise of the Cybermen" and "The Age of Steel". The plot consists mostly of the Daleks and Cybermen waging a global war, with humanity caught in the crossfire. The Doctor, the Tyler family, and Mickey Smith fight for their lives trying to reverse the situation. They are successful, but at an emotional cost to the Doctor and Rose, as they are left in separate universes. The episode is one of the most popular ''Doctor Who'' episodes since the show's revival. It was nominated, along with "Army of Ghosts", for the 2007 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form; the award was won by the fourth episode in the series, "The Girl in the Fireplace". It shared the revived series' highest Audience Appreciation rating of 89 with "The Parting of the Ways", "Silence in the Library", and "Forest of the Dead" until 28 June 2008—"The Stolen Earth" gained an AI rating of 91〔—and is favoured by most critics for both the Cybermen–Dalek conflict and the farewell scene between the Doctor and Rose. ==Synopsis== Continuing the events of "Army of Ghosts", the episode opens with Dr. Singh, Mickey, and Rose trapped in a sealed room within Torchwood. Four Daleks, accompanied by a device known as the "Genesis Ark", have emerged from the Void ship. A black Dalek called Dalek Sec extracts information about Earth from Dr. Singh, killing him in the process. Dalek Sec discovers that a separate invasion is in progress, and sends Dalek Thay to investigate. The Cybermen who took control of Torchwood detect the Dalek technology and confront them, offering an alliance. The Daleks decline and kill two Cybermen, causing the Cyber Leader to declare war on the Daleks. Ms. Hartman and Jackie are taken by the Cybermen for conversion, but the Cyber Leader orders the Doctor held aside because he has valuable information about the Daleks. Ms. Hartman is converted, but before Jackie can be converted The Cyber Leader is destroyed by a strike team led by Jake Simmonds, who have travelled from their universe in pursuit of the Cybermen. Jackie escapes into a stairwell, and Jake uses a device around his neck to take the Doctor to the parallel universe and their version of Torchwood. The Doctor meets with the alternate universe Pete Tyler, who tells him that after he left the Cybermen were sealed in their factories while humanity decided what to do with them. In the meantime, the Cybermen vanished and the breach began causing unprecedented global warming on the parallel Earth, which the Doctor theorises is the start of the process that will lead to both planets falling into the Void. Pete demands the Doctor seal the breach before his Earth is destroyed. Meanwhile, Rose deduces that she and Mickey were kept alive because their touch can activate the Genesis Ark. Dalek Sec explains that they cannot open the Ark because it is stolen Time Lord technology. He demands that Rose open it, but she refuses and mocks the Daleks until the Doctor arrives. The Doctor realises that these Daleks are the enigmatic Cult of Skaro, and uses his sonic screwdriver to allow the Cybermen into the sphere chamber. As the Cybermen attack the Daleks, Mickey accidentally activates the Ark while escaping. The Daleks kill the Cybermen and take the Ark outside to release its contents. The Ark opens and millions of Daleks who were imprisoned during the Time War pour out and begin engaging the Cybermen firing on them from below, though humanity is caught in the crossfire and many are killed while running for cover. The Doctor and his companions flee into the tower. Along the way, the alternate universe Pete finds and saves Jackie. The Doctor brings everyone to the control room where he explains that crossing the Void causes a traveller to become saturated in Void material. If he opens the breach and reverses it, anything saturated in Void material will be pulled in. Everyone except Jackie has crossed the breach and is vulnerable to being trapped in the Void, so the Doctor sends them all to the parallel universe. Rose decides she would rather be with the Doctor than her family and jumps back to help him. The Cybermen attempt to stop the Doctor but are repelled by a converted Ms. Hartman, who has resisted the effects of her conversion and at least partially retains her personality. The Doctor and Rose open the breach and hold on to magnetic clamps as the Cybermen and Daleks are pulled in. The Cult of Skaro use an emergency temporal shift to escape. Rose's lever slips, and in resetting it she loses her grip and plunges toward the Void. At the last second, Pete reappears and grabs her, and together they transport back to the parallel universe. The breach closes, leaving a devastated Rose trapped in the parallel universe. The Doctor presses his ear against the wall, as a tearful Rose does the same in the other universe, as if trying to listen for each other. Some time later, Rose has a dream where she hears the Doctor's voice calling her. The Tylers follow the voice to a remote bay in Norway called Bad Wolf Bay, where a holographic image of the Doctor appears. He tells Rose he is using the energy of a supernova to transmit to her via one last small breach between universes. Rose breaks down in tears and tells the Doctor that she loves him, but before the Doctor can reply, the breach seals and the Doctor's image disappears. In the TARDIS, tears run down the Doctor's cheeks as he slowly regains his composure and sets a course. As he gets back to operating the TARDIS, he looks up to see a woman in a wedding dress standing in the TARDIS control room. With the Doctor shocked and confused, the bride angrily demands to know where she is, leading to the events of "The Runaway Bride". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doomsday (Doctor Who)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
