Guide:Plot summary for New Who: Difference between revisions

The Doctor and Rose fall back into a familiar pattern adventuring at first, but when Rose discovers that she's not the first companion that the Doctor has had, there begins to be some tension. The Doctor and Rose wind up in another universe at the advent of a technological menace - the [[Cyberman|Cybermen]]. But this universe happens to be one where Rose's father is still alive. Ultimately, however, she resolves to continue adventuring with the Doctor, and they return to their own universe. Not long after, they find themselves caught in the crossfire between two warring enemies. The Cybermen have followed them through the void between worlds, and a small group of Daleks hid themselves and a Dalek prison ship in that same void, opening cracks just enough for the Cybermen to get through. The Doctor and Rose, with help from the resistance movement from the other universe, devise a plan to force all of the combatants back to the void. But because Rose and the Doctor have traveled through it, they too are at risk, and need to be in a safe location. Ultimately, Rose slips, but is saved by her father from the other world before the opening between the two universes is closed permanently.

In the end, however, it ends up that her husband to be was intending her to be food for an alien. The issue ends up resolved, and the two part ways. The Doctor then finds himself in a hospital as it's transported to the moon by a group of [[Judoon|alien rhino policemen]] looking for a fugitive. While in this situation he finds himself impressed by the quick thinking of a young Doctor, [[Martha Jones]], played by [[Freema Agyeman]], and as thanks invites her on a single trip in his TARDIS. The single trip balloons into more, and eventually he accepts her continuing along on his journeys, even going so far as to trust her to watch over him as he wiped his memories and scrambled his DNA, hiding as a human to flee from an adversary. The pair come to find themselves in the far future, near the end of the universe, as all the stars are dying, and humankind is trying to figure out the last refuges they can turn to. There they find a brilliant scientist working on the problem, but ultimately, through his interactions with the Doctor, his memories return. He too is a Time Lord, [[Saxon Master|the Master]], and an old foe of the Doctor's. The Master steals The TARDIS and travels back to Earth, though the Doctor and Martha manage to cobble together a way to follow him, though they arrive months later. In this time, the Master has placed himself in power as Prime Minster by a worldwide wireless network establishing low level hypnosis over the entire human race. Now in power, he welcomes in a hoard of invading aliens called the [[Toclafane]], captures the Doctor, and establishes himself as ruler of Earth. Over the next year, Martha travels the world, telling stories about the Doctor, as the Master's grip tightens, the Toclafane, who are revealed to be the remnants of humanity from the end of the universe, able to be sustained through an invention of the Master's to compensate for the paradoxes, preparing for war with the rest of the universe. Martha ultimately allows herself to be captured, and returns to the Master and the Doctor, with everyone around the world hoping for the Doctor at a pre-specified time. The Doctor frees himself using this psychic energy, and manages to destroy the machine, erasing the entire past year. the Master is shot by one of the few bystanders who remembers, and refuses to stay alive, to regenerate, leaving the Doctor alone. Martha ultimately decides to leave, realizing that their relationship isn't healthy, and that being with her family will be better for her.
