Movie

Main article: Doomsday Machine (film)

A spaceship crew becomes the last survivors of the human race after a cataclysm on Earth.

Episode

Prologue: An administrator expresses his gratitude to the crew for their helping to fix the electron scaffold. The admins also offer the use of new robots (which resemble robots from other sci-fi properties) but the crew declines. Frank becomes enthusiastic at the mention of Bobby Van.

Segment One: Trace would like to say something to the group, but Joel repeatedly interrupts him on a megaphone with a countdown until the movie resumes.

Segment Two: Mary Jo insists that the group determine who would die if some hypothetical disaster occurred and there were only enough resources to support three of them.
