Doomsday (Doctor Who): Difference between revisions

Continuing the events of "[[Army of Ghosts]]", the episode opens with Dr Singh, [[Mickey Smith]], and [[Rose Tyler]] trapped in a sealed room within the [[Torchwood Institute]]. Four [[Daleks]], accompanied by a device known as the "[[List of Doctor Who items#Genesis Ark|Genesis Ark]]", have emerged from the [[List of Doctor Who vehicles#Void ship|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.

 

 

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 battle the Cybermen and Dalek Sec takes the Ark outside. The Doctor and his companions flee into the tower. Along the way, Pete saves Jackie from the Cybermen and the two embrace. The Doctor then takes everyone to the control room where they witness the Genesis Ark open and millions of Daleks that were imprisoned during the [[Time War (Doctor Who)|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.
