It's kind of funny seeing an incarnation of The Doctor be so accepting of their regeneration, only to regenerate into the incarnation who was the most reluctant to.

[@OnlineFanBoy]

I think that’s why it happened, because she was so willing to change

[@adamstewart9052]

"Jodie's regeneration had to feel warm and triumphant." "I didn't want it to be a death march," agrees Chris Chibnall. "The idea for me was, this Doctor ends as she started. I feel like there's a Thirteenth Doctor spirit that I wanted to keep in her final moments. I wanted her to still be authentic to herself. She has a moment of 'Ahh, I don't want this to be over', but she's a Doctor who goes into every challenge with positivity and generosity, and that's how she is to the end. Ultimately she's looking to other people, to the next Doctor, she's thinking of them. 'Tag. You're it.' She's delighted for who she's going to be."

[@AmazingAonYT]

Agreed

[@Insain_rocker]

​@FamousThunderguy very much agree. 10's last words were literally that he wasn't ready. Every other Doctor has had some semblance of acceptance on their change, so it makes sense that he'd return, and even more so, breaking our hearts a second time as he finally accepts his time is over.

@Andy Taylor yes, I really liked her but it’s the first set of writers/showrunner that I felt had a bad case of “sci fi is stupid, we have to make it I think something decent like a soap opera.”

[@MrShedinthepeg]

In my opinion, Chibnall just didn’t know how to write Doctor Who. I wish we would have gotten one series of Jodie’s Doctor under RTD, just to see what she could have done with a competent writer at her side. Say what you want about RTD, but he knew how to write characters and put together a story arch that built up until the finale. It’s seems that this finale mainly relied on nostalgia of seeing the previous Doctors and companions again, the storyline didn’t make much sense and was once again just fluff. The Daleks and cyber time lords for some reason team up, to destroy the earth with volcanos, and then for some reason the master puts himself into the Doctors body, then he’s left on a planet, then he’s instantly put back into his own body in 1900’s Russia because for some reason the Master is pretending to be Rasputin, who puts himself into old paintings for another weak reason. Then the Doctor uses the metal planet thing, which is run from the energy of a space alien we’ve never heard of, and didn’t add anything to the plot other than to destroy the metal planet thing. Then the master appears, the Doctor gets hit by an energy beam, then they eat ice cream and she regenerates…. It was just a mash of loosely connected events that resembles a story. I genuinely enjoyed seeing the previous Doctor interact with past companions, but thats about it. Just my opinion.

[@bluejacket4429]

0:26 I actually really like that line. Jodie is far from my favorite Doctor, but quite literally that is ONLY because of the stories and episodes she was written and featured in. If she had something like "The Adipose" to play in I believe she would TRULY shine! Anyway, I just caught a glimpse of a really wonderful Jodie Whittaker Doctor in that line delivery. She's felt mostly two-dimensional for the time she's been the doctor, but I could feel the heart in that.

[@theoldproject7394]

I didnt watch a single episode she was in, and I never will. The only reason a female doctor was cast is because the Showrunner would not accept the job unless they cast a female as the doctor. People seriously need to keep there BS Equality Politics in the real world and not in our Tv Shows. The Doctor Is a Male. He always has been a Male. He always will be a male. Tradition Is Important, its the only thing that keeps humans together.

[@lizard8694]

Yeah, I don't hate Jodie as the Doctor, and I really think she could've been amazing. Chibnall or whatever his name is did her a disservice with the writing. The doctors of past had mysteries and things running throughout that made it great, take bad wolf, Doctor Donna, River Song, Amy's crack in the wall, the bees disappearing. It was the plot lines like that that I loved about doctor who. However, I feel like they lost that spark before Jodie. I did love Peter Capaldi as the doctor, but it doesn't feel the same as the Tennant run watching it.

[@lizard8694]

@@theoldproject7394 Ah, well, the doctor mentioned multiple times that timelords can regenerate into different genders.

I gave whittaker a chance, but most episodes hurt to watch due to the blatant animosity to the previous continuity, and in some degree felt like the narrative of the episodes and monologs where talking down to the viewers. Like every ep was some sort of environmental or humanitarian crisis. Which don't get me wrong, CAN be done right, but like I said they came across in a way that seemed condescending to the viewers. I'm actually worried they're bringing Tennant back... because the writing has gutted the show so badly, it either feels like a blatant backtrack begging for old fans to come back, OR they're just bringing him back to ruin even more of the legacy as a further middle finger to older fans.

I have a theory. As many a rumor has stated, the Celestial Toymaker is supposed to be the next big villian. And for those who don't know, he's an eternal being of near-infinite power who could create his own worlds and manipulate the reality within them. Basically a reality warper. My guess is that he's messing with the Doctor's regeneration here which is why the clothes also changed. In the Next-Time trailer we see Fourteen in Ten's clothes shouting "What is going on here?!", which to me must mean he'll be changing back and forth between both incarnations.

Doctor Who thrives in the Monster of the Week genre - something RTD does very well and Moffat and Chiball don’t (as showrunners, Moffat is a great MotW writer when just writing an episode at a time and 11’s best episodes are the MotW style episodes).

I don't even know what to say.. i wish my dad had lived long enough to see this episode.. huge doctor who fans, my dad, me an my brother, watched it in the 80s on PBS here in America.. With everything that is going on in the world right now........ we needed this, thank you all.. and this message is for David Tennant, welcome home.. and welcome back.

Did Russel write this last scene for her or something? It’s the only convincingly food acting/line she’s had all her seasons! And it’s damn good. “Tag. You’re it!”

[@SirDanFilmsUnltd]

Russell wrote the triple what, Tennant suggested adding “I know these teeth”, and everything before was written by Chibnall. It is worth noting however that the speech, originally written by Chibnall, was: “The blossomiest blossom…well then, Doctor whoever I’m about to be…tag, you’re it! That’s the sad thing - I really wanna know what happens next. I bet it’s gonna be brilliant.” The editor then suggested cutting and rearranging to get the speech as shown in the episode, and Chibnall approved the change.

I am so glad she got an amazing send off

[@summer-roseknight]

Three damn times. I’ll give him this, Tennant, he’s good…

[@aresef]

I like the touches of her face sparkling in bits as she's about to regenerate, and then the glow softening in the Fourteenth Doctor's face in the second after, like the features just set themselves.

Absolute legend giving 3 what’s like when the titanic crashed into the tardis the man’s a legend

[@michaelclark7447]

What I've been thinking about recently is how in both the classic and new series, the state of the Doctor before regenerating has differed. In the classic series, he was mostly on death's doorstep before he changed but in the new series, the Doctor can still stand and even take a wander.

[@aaronsibley]

wow, the doctor landed before regenerating. they usually just like screwing over the next one

[@MarioRugeles]

I hope Donna is giving the chance to recover all what she grew as a person with The Doctor and was taken away from her.

[@Negative_NBG]

"tag, you're it" might actually be the best line of this doctor's run

[@TheHufflepuffSaint]

So apparently not only is David Tennant coming back for the episodes next year, but so are Donna Noble and her family. Apparently, Bernard Cribbins filmed his scenes before his death.

It took the Doctor well over a thousand years to regenerate outside the TARDIS.

[@2small4theMall]

RTD likes to mess with the audience. I hope that's the case this time, I'd really much rather have this tennant be an in-between incarnation as a result of the toymaker possibly messing with the doctor's regeneration, or perhaps what the master did to her this episode. idk, i just much prefer each doctor to be new.

[@nillsthefunexpert2571]

also he seems to be in the trailer

[@jooberdoober60]

“Unfortunately” I think you made a little spelling error 😅 dw I fixed it hehe

[@11Tits]

From what's been said Ncuti Gatwa is gonna be the 15th doctor and David Tennant will be the 14th, I believe it's probably because Judy Whitaker absolutely sunk most of the view rate of doctor who. So they decided to bring back a strong well known character to bring the view rate back up for Ncuti Gatwa. I'm not saying he couldn't do that himself as Ncuti Gatwa is an incredible actor. but the BBC wants to play it safe

[@BroonParker]

What?

[@sam6388]

One thing I noticed was that the masters clothing when he regenerated into the doctor was a combination of all of the doctors we had seen in the episode (10th, 8th, 7th, 6th and 5th). I saw the tie he was wearing and instantly knew that we were going to see David at the end :D

[@swedishbloke]

WHAT!!! I live in Sweden so it was unavoidable to find this out as a whovian, so I better spoil it for myself haha

[@kevinecrux7928]

I know she is one of the weaker written doctors but let’s be honest this scene was just about perfect. And the music was on point for her regeneration.

[@omega311888]

if she comes back, she deserves better writing

[@riverrojas2036]

Man, the Twelfth Doctor didn't want to regenerate, he wanted to end it right there, but then she kept travelling, she made new friends and learned how to enjoy life again, so she finally made pace with that, even though she wanted to remain 13, she welcomed regeneration beautifully. I just love Doctor Who. I will miss Jodie dearly, but I feel so excited to watch Ncuti.
