Companion - Rose Tyler
Baddie(s) - Nestene Consciousness
The show starts off with a brief overview of the everyday "sameness" of Rose Tyler's life, living with her mum, working in a shop called "Henrik's," visiting with her boyfriend, Mickey, and eating chips.
Rose starts to be attacked by plastic mannequins come to life and meets the doctor when he grabs her hand and says "Run." A more classic Doctor line there never was.
Rose: "To get that many people dressed up and being silly, they got to be students."
Doctor: "That makes sense, well done."
The Doctor is about to set a bomb.
Doctor: "I'm the Doctor by the way, what's your name?"
Rose: "Rose."
Doctor: "Nice to meet you, Rose. Run for your life."
Rose's mum gets all drama queeny. Mickey shows up and gets clingy. She asks Mickey to throw away the plastic arm from one of the mannequins. But sadly it shows back up, through the cat door, followed by the Doctor. He makes his way all around the apartment.
Mum: "Ahem. I'm in my dressing gown."
Doctor: "Yes you are."
Mum: "There's a strange man in my bedroom."
Doctor: "Yes there is."
Mum: "Where anything could happen."
Doctor: "No."
Hand shows up and tries to kill the Doctor and Rose. Doctor tries to leave and Rose follows him. . Then he says enough to put her off, tells her to go home, she turns around and he's gone in the TARDIS. So then Rose uses Mickey's computer to do research on the Doctor, sees a conspiracy theory website and meets with the author of the site. The conspiracy theorist shows Rose pictures of the Doctor at Kennedy's assassination, the dock before boarding the Titanic, and on Sumatra before Krakatoa. He mentions that the Doctor brings the storm with him. This is the first mention of the Doctor as the oncoming storm.
Meanwhile Mickey gets kidnapped by the Nestene consciousness (a rubbish bin, a surprisingly clean one) eats him. Voila! replacement Mickey in plastic! He tries to spy on the Doctor through Rose. The Doctor saves her from a now homicidal Mickey plastic guy and gets her to enter the TARDIS.
Rose: "It's going to follow us."
Doctor: "The assembled hordes of Genghis Khan couldn't get through that door. Believe me they've tried. Now shut up a minute."
We go through the bigger on the inside bit with Rose, she asks him to confirm that he is an alien.
Rose: "If you are an alien, how comes you sound like you're from the North."
Doctor: "Lots of planets have a North."
They find the Nestene Consciousness and the Doctor tries to negotiate with it. He is armed with a tube of "anti-plastic." The Nestene Consciousness discovers it and tries to have the Doctor killed.
While he's talking to the vat of plastic, the Doctor responds to what is apparently an accusation.
Doctor: "I couldn't save your world, I couldn't save any of them." He sounds both desperate and in terrible pain.
Rose finds Mickey and he's a whimpering stupid clingy child, basically he's a dead weight in this episode. Rose, in order to save the Doctor's life, kicks the anti-plastic into the vat and there is no more Nestene Consciousness.
The Doctor offers to take Rose with him as his companion. She refuses until he tells her that it also travels in time. Then she runs into the TARDIS.
