Regenerating is like downing 6 shots of tequila at once... it messes with your head, makes you feel invincible and takes a while for you to come to your senses again 😂

[@JustSoShayla]

Hah!

[@Jirodyne]

@@Mr_M_ Not true, it's cause it's a whole new set of Regenerations, which has never been done before. Each Timelord can only Regenerate 12 times, and the Doctors was on his last one. But he got a new set of 12 Regenerations, which again, has never happened before. So there might some... Side effects. Plus, me and others believe it's the Actor speaking more than the Doctor during that speech, and it was beautiful.

[@CptSyphilis001]

I genuinely think that was Matt Smith speaking, not The Doctor per se. At least thats what I like to think. The same with Tennant. They have their one little bit as themselves saying goodbye to us all.

10th Doctor’s regeneration scene emotional and heart breaking and people thought it couldn’t be topped 11th Doctor - Hold my beer

[@ElectroTherapyFTSoul]

Out of the New Series regenerations, I still think Eccleston's was best. It was understated, but full of emotion. It also felt more... real? Tennant and Smith's felt too overblown and was too obvious and heavy on the fan-service for my preference. I still enjoy them, but the quieter regeneration with Ecclestion was just beautiful to me.

[@corndog4848]

Electroshock Therapy for the Soul I think the show does a good job of mirroring the doctor with their regeneration. Eccleston’s exit upbeat and hopeful as his doctor had been the PTSD doctor, Tennant with his jumping into every situation with enthusiasm, alonzy, etc, while his last moments are quite and emotional as he doesn’t want to go. Matt Smith who is jovial and child like having a profound and mature send off.

[@ryandenoven9652]

I’m a way I like Capaldi’s the most but I’m not going to give away any spoilers for her

[@drstrangelove4925]

Ryan Denoven 12th doctor hold my tears

[@lovethatforme]

Ryan Denoven it’s a different type of emotion since David’s character had so much to do still, he only regenerated to save Donnas father so it seem so unfair. He didn’t want to go. For Matt he accepted what was gonna happen, he accepted that he was gonna be a new person. For me David’s was more emotional because he didn’t want to go, he was put in a position in which forced to go. Not only that, but he went through it all by himself with no one there to be with him. No Rose, no Martha, no donna, no jack no Sarah jane, nobody. He made sure they were all okay but he went out alone unlike Matt who had Clara and Amy’s memory and Eccelston who had Rose with him.

[@umarsaddique710]

Oh, that farewell speech. It’s perfect. Absolutely perfect. The Eleventh Doctor’s final words to Clara (and the audience, by extension) were the best final words of any Doctor in the history of the show thus far. They not only show the Eleventh Doctor’s acceptance of his oncoming change and his satisfaction of his time as that incarnation but they’re also a wonderful speech about change in both the show and real life. “We all change, when you think about it. We’re all different people all through our lives. And that’s okay, that’s good, you’ve got to keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. I will not forget one line of this. Not one day. I swear. I will always remember when the Doctor was me.” Change happens but, as long as you remember how things used to be, everything will be okay. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who got a pretty meta vibe from this. Matt Smith was literally telling his fans that everything’s going to be okay. He won’t be the Doctor anymore but, as long as they remember when he was the Doctor and give Peter Capaldi a chance, everything will be just fine.

[@Daniel73-23]

!00% took the words right out of my fingers. Very deep and wise - child-like acceptance of the inevitable. Matt Smith was a terrific Doctor and a fantastic ending!

[@whovianhistorybuff]

Twelve's farewell was a close second but that's a story for another day

[@eleven5885]

about the last paragraph: thats why I love matt and his regeneration scene (as sad as it is too see my favourite doctor leave) because comparing his regeneration scene (we all change and thats good - basically telling the audience to accept Capaldi) and then Tennants ('I don't wanna go' - making loads of people hate matt even before they'd seen him.

[@thormelsted]

In my opinion Capaldi's Doctor has the greatest character arc of any character on any TV series, ever. Certainly the best I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot.

[@rtaylor7384]

[@sertan138]

@@MJColePresents I thought he meant healed. Because when 10 started to regenerate he reset himself too by healing his wounds first and then later regenerated. I think when time lords regenerate they are healing deformation first and then fully change.

[@garycullen7390]

As for 11 to 12 being so QUICK THE who REGENERATION is the bit on the roof to CALPALDI appearing including eating,the phone call seen in DEEP BREATH and we don't know how long it was CLARA took to get back to the TARDIS after all the devastation so 11 must have held it back like someone needing the loo HENCE the quick final change to 12

[@jasonknight1085]

Capaldi reminds me so much of Pertwee... they both embody equal measures of rage, wrath, and impertinence. I think that's a good part of what makes him my favorite. The self doubt early on followed by doing "whatever the hell he wants and not giving a damn" as if he's answerable to no-one shows growth in his character across the whole story-arc that generally you don't see in other doctors. He also reminds me of Batman. "It's not about what's easy. It's about doing what's right because it's right and that's the only reason you need." should sound KIND of familiar. I know, I know... spoilers.

The bit with Handles and the reminder message was so simple yet elegant; so much happens between when he sets it and when Handles reminds him that it feels like it’s been so much longer than it actually has, and Handles has delivered so much important exposition that you’re waiting for a big info drop and have totally forgotten until he says it, and it’s such a tear jerker.

[@remis.4565]

Well, there's the end of an era. I probably cried as much as you, to be honest, but the upside is you're now watching the 12th doctor! He was the first one I saw on tv, and he is *my* doctor, and as much as I do and you will miss 11, I'm really excited for Twelve!

I feel that everyone will always remember when the Doctor was him. Farewell Matt. His speech, at the end... We all change. And that's ok. That's good. We have to keep moving. That's life, right? When you just rambled, at the end... I think we all felt the same, back then, when it all happened... I'll see you next time. Take a Deep Breath, and dive in number 12.

[@FramedSabotage]

Handles was obviously using K9's software, "Affirmative, master." It's the dogs voice with a cyber dialect. Reason it's so emotional.

[@natashanorris650]

Yeah this was a rough one. I think they want you to feel the abruptness of it... and I also think it defines #11. Tennant didn’t want to go- so his transformation was angry and volatile. It tore apart the Tardis and it had to rebuild itself for Smith. But when 11 transforms he seems to be much more at peace with it- I think that fuels the quick pace of the transition. I enjoy that they are different versions of the same man all the way through to the end of their run.

[@JustSoShayla]

Oof I love that thought, very nice character study of the two.

[@Lenny-ue8hk]

My favourite thing about the farewell speech is that it always feels like it's as much from the actor as it is the character.

[@duanegreer7387]

This episode always pulls on my emotions no matter how many times I have seen it.

[@ByrneMR2]

Ohh boy, my heart has broken all over again 🥺 only Doctor Who can make you feel this way time & time again. Fantastic reaction as always Shayla 👍 x

[@michaelc9090]

He was actually bald, he'd shaved his head for a film Ryan Gosling directed

[@rocketcon]

Lost River is the name of the film.

[@SergeChel]

Karen also was bold

[@michaelc9090]

I forgot the correct title of the film

[@mradriankool]

It’s a paradox, as it’s the longest and fastest regeneration. You are not alone ( YANA ) lol, we all went through it, and we then had to endure the wait for the of 12. You can jump straight in. That aside great reaction as always, great edit with all the best stuff in. It is on first viewing a little patchy, but it’s worth going back and watching again as story is better than I remembered first time. The “like breath on a mirror” line is heartbreaking it’s a brilliant farewell speech and he delivers it perfectly. Humorous fact both Matt & Karen are wearing wigs as she was filming guardians when the scene was shot. Looking forward to deep breath and that moment. Be gentle on 12, he’s grumpy, but beautiful in his humanity

[@recker198]

I loved every doctor equally.. until 12 arrived. My absolute favorite doctor!! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on him when you get to know him

[@taimurmuggo1634]

Oh man .. here come the tears again!!. It was painful losing my first and favorite Doctor ...Eleven and Matt Smith will always be my Doctor. I like how this ties up pretty much all the threads in Smith’s run so far and his regeneration speech and scene is beautiful

[@mattlittle4434]

Letting go of Matt Smith's Doctor was probably the hardest thing I ever had to do as a Who fan, I actually took a pretty long break from watching the show after this episode because I was so so shook. But trust me, once Capaldi's run really gets going, you'll wonder how any other actor could possibly be The Doctor other than him!

[@Dannydarko27]

"why was that so quick" words guys never want to hear 😂😂 All jokes aside one of my favorite reactions

[@umarsaddique710]

I love how this episode wasn't too sentimental. It was still fun and 11 was just being 11 just like he would want us to remember him☺

[@lokie3292]

And here we go....I am soooo excited for s8 reactions!!! I love Twelve and Clara's dynamic and I am just so excited to watch the reactions lol.

[@AmyWarriorPrincess]

Yes he really was naked, and yes he really was bald! LOL he had to shave his head for a part he was doing.

[@anonymes2884]

@Just Jay He did play the T-5000 but he shaved his head for 'Lost River'.

[@sirkokeshi4312]

10:02 I like how Shayla does the same face as Clara!! lol

[@Pharaoh025]

The Doctor, proving once more... that life is not a fairytale...

[@JamesTriphahn]

She kept asking why it was so fast. answer: he already did the full glowing regeneration when he destroyed the daleks. it was just stuck for the physical regeneration. it was a "reset". His biggest regeneration had a side effect.

[@boom0906]

😔 well that was depressing Well the good news is that ur onto my favourite doctor now

[@ashofedenofficial]

I mean he got to fight the daleks with the regen energy and then he had a big long speech to clara and he got to see amy again, and then he undid his bowtie and THEN he changed that wasn't sudden he just already did the whole shebang before changing so the process had already taken place.

[@michaelc9090]

Karen Gillan was wearing a wig at this point too because she'd shaved her head for Guardians of the Galaxy.

[@enorth7301]

I heard they made her a wig from her own hair though.

[@michaelc9090]

E North I remember reading something about that

[@SSIronHeart]

I saw a thing recently that said the part where matt smith says love from gallifrey was originally his last and peter capaldi was supposed to walk up the stairs. But during tge test screenings people hated it so the changed it to the one we see.

[@luketaylor5848]

Beautiful reaction Shayla. But alas.... this is not the last time tears will be a part of Doctor Who. The highs are only offset by the lows. With the clock striking 12, a new time of the Doctor is upon us. Give 12 time. He is VERY different from most other Doctors. Specifially 9, 10 and 11. But it is a welcome change for the most part. Give him time, see it's HIM there in front of you. The Doctor.

[@hellsingmongrel]

Yeah, that's the important part of Twelve, you have to give him time. Which is easier when his stuff is all there to watch end to end without interruptions. I honestly didn't, and quit about halfway through his first season, but then really learned to love him a couple years later, when I finally sat down to watch it all after his stuff was over. Some of his episodes I still feel were TERRIBLE, but the Doctor himself is SO GOOD, Capaldi knocked it out of the park!

[@luketaylor5848]

@@hellsingmongrel I couldn't agree more. There's a long time to get to Hell Bent and Heaven Sent. The months gaps between seasons, and weeks between eps just didn't allow me to connect to 12 until the rewatches. It didn't help that with 9, 10 and 11 we got used to a certain type of Doctor which we all loved in different ways and amounts. 12 being different was radical for the show. I do feel that the writing in 12's era is erratic at best. But You learn to love it in the end. Nothing will ever compare to Heaven Sent or the end ep's of season 10. But I certainly have a soft spot for the Magicians Apprentice...... Tank

[@hellsingmongrel]

@@luketaylor5848 Yeah, it got rouuuuugh. I won't lie and say he had any of my favorite episodes, but Capaldi's actung was able to drag a few bad episodes out of the dirt by pure charisma alone. And Heaven Sent/Hell Bent are a massive, wild roller coaster from beginning to end! I can't wait to see her react to those! 🤩

[@luketaylor5848]

@@hellsingmongrel Yeah exact same. There is that mood Peter shows for the Doctor... when he is angry. With 9-11 I feared what the Doctor might dream up to do.... with 12.... I fear that he wouldn't stop. Just with that stare, limitless posibilities just through his anger or simply his 'duty of care'. I'm quite glad Shayla is reacting to only some eps as it's miss some of the..... less good eps lol. I looking forward to 'that' moment in Listen. At least there's a 'that' moment in most ep's, so no spoilers at least lol

[@luketaylor5848]

@@hellsingmongrel I quite agree. It'll be interesting to see it through Shayla's eyes after the heartbreak of 10 and 11

[@scarven345]

Everybody was so off guard when he regenerated that quickly.
