* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Pete Tyler [[spoiler:saving Rose and bringing her back to his universe]] can be seen as meaning that he does indeed instinctively see his alternate reality counterpart's daughter as his child despite everything he's said to convince himself otherwise; or it could have been something he did for the sake of Jackie, who was rather distraught (not least at him) over getting separated from her daughter forever.

The scene became (in)famous for this, although almost everyone would say it is one of the most emotionally powerful moments in sci fi TV


** But even that is overshadowed by the ending of the story, after Rose and the Doctor are separated. The shot of them both leaning against a wall, in parallel worlds, is iconic, and their goodbye on the beach is one of the most famous scenes in the entire history of the series.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The titular song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Am7eHyJ8_1Y "Doomsday"]], is the perfect song for the TearJerker ending of the episode, and it's one of the series most iconic ones because of it.

This feels really nitpicky


* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Rose's departure is all very sad, but the Doctor burning up half a sun to say goodbye and her not caring (plus dragging her family all the way to Norway) makes them come across a tad selfish. That said, it's possible the sun wasn’t surrounded by any inhabited planets, or it was already going supernova and he just repurposed the energy. Of course if it was going supernova by that point the system would likely be basically uninhabitable anyway.

* InferredHolocaust: Last episode had millions of Cybermen (established here to be 5 million) materialising across our world from London, to Paris, to Delhi and, as established in "The Runaway Bride", to Spain, though evidently not where Donna was (even with 5 million, there must be some oversights when invading a planet of 6 billion humans).

* MagnificentBastard: [[EvilutionaryBiologist Dalek Sec]] is the original leader of The Cult of Skaro and arrived in London, 2007 via the Void. Declaring war on the invading Cybermen, Sec has the Doctor and his allies activate the Ark for him, freeing the millions of Daleks trapped within. When Sec's attempts to stop the Doctor from reopening a breach fail he escapes with a temporal shift, being transported to Manhattan, 1930, where Sec supplements the Dalek's failing embryo experiments by including humans in their work, even using himself as a test subject to become a "human-Dalek" hybrid [[FusionDance via fusion]]. His [[HumanityIsInfectious human emotions]] causing him to abandon the rampant xenophobia natural to Daleks, Sec orders his fellow Daleks to not harm the Doctor and [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices his life]] when they refuse to listen to his reasoning. Just as Sec warned, the Doctor leads to the destruction of the bigoted Daleks and Sec is remembered as the "cleverest Dalek ever" by his former foe.

** Once the Cyber-Leader gives the order to surrender, the Cybermen receive resistance from military forces in London, with the Cybermen having the clear advantage in a battle which causes fires across London. Presumably, similar incidents occured all over the world. Fortunately, from what is seen of civilians, it appears they are spared mass upgrading to Cybermen, the only conversion facilities in this world being the one which the Cybermen prepared in advance at Torchwood Tower.
** However, it goes from bad to worse when the Genesis Ark unleashes millions of Daleks whom fire on Cybermen and humans alike from the skies of Canary Wharf and beyond ("[[Main/AllThereInTheManual Battles in Time]]" claims they set down as far as Aberdeen, while "Tardisode 10" reveals that they went to the trouble of raiding news studios reporting on the battle). That said, a great many people can seen in the streets very much alive as the Daleks are sucked into the Void. Taking place within a single day, the battle could not lasted more than a few hours at most, while the Daleks' involvement takes place over a matter of minutes. Ultimately, the Doctor reflects only that "so many people died that day", which makes it easy to add Rose and Jackie to the list of the dead.

It's supposed to be funny. Narm is for dramatic moments that come across as unintentionally comedic.


* {{Narm}}: Let's be real; Donna's amazing, but her cameo at the end of this episode is a giant MoodWhiplash from what was just a very emotional ordeal.
