The 11th Doctor regenerates | Doctor Who - BBC

[@g-forcemapping8454]

one thing I am always fascinated by is how quick Smiths regeneration is. It isn't long and drawn out, it doesn't damage the Tardis and that's because most of the destruction from the Regen Energy happened in Christmas.

[@octazooka3452]

I like how they changed it

[@commandert5]

Tennant also held off his regeneration for a long time, building up the energy to the point eh couldn't hold it any longer, like Eccleston before him but even longer

[@saimcheeda93]

Well he does mention that his regeneration already occured at the tower and this was just his reset. So he was basically just waiting for the face change while the regeneration process has already taken place

[@g-forcemapping8454]

@@saimcheeda93 I never thought of it that way. thanks

[@lidge1994]

That and this was, as he said, a reset, he's just a blank slate with 11's appearance and personality loaded up, until 12 is ready to load in, which takes only a single moment. At least, that's how I see it. Plus, 9 and 10 were going big because they held it off for so long, especially 10.

[@the-chillian]

Matt Smith does _such_ a good job here. He's showing us an old man in a young man's body and absolutely nails it. And then there's the emotional loading he brings to the entire scene. Spectacular work.

[@PvpgameplayBG]

"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 gotta 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." Matt Smith will always be MY Doctor.

I still miss Matt Smith's Doctor. He's my favorite. This is coming from someone that started watching the show in 1965! Matt Smith nicely mixed Patrick Troughton's whimsical frenzy, with Tom Baker's contemplative side, & David Tennant's intense side.

[@SalmonBucket]

12th doctor is the best one

[@lonknight3197]

My favorite Doctor was Jon Pertwee he played the Doctor as more like Sherlock Holmes, which i think is the best take on just what the Doctor is suppose to be like , he helps all he can, , all the other Doctors play him as someone who would rather be left alone but stumbles into situations and fumbles through them, but Pertwees Doctors was all take charge, sees trouble says i going to stop you and did. But got to admit the second series of Dr. Who had some Very good speeches.

[@Michelle_Schu-blacka]

I love how he looks into the camera when he says he'll never forget the time that he was The Doctor. Plus the bit about how we're different people throughout life. You can't forget the mistakes that made you the person you are now or you'll repeat them, although personally, I'd much, much rather forget.

[@kaye1776]

I didn't catch that the first couple of times I watched it somehow, but when I did finally see it it made me cry a little bit more. 😅

[@triplejazzmusicisall1883]

My favourite regeneration as he is completely at ease and selfless to the core. I loved Matt Smith.

[@JesterBandito]

Love how they did a rescore of "The Rings of Akhaten" for this. He came full circle, he remembers who he is, and proud of it. He no longer forgets, nor wishes to forget.

[@ericreed5611]

Watching this after 13's run really demonstrates Stephen Moffat's talent as a writer... The single line "like breath on a mirror" is better than anything spoken during Chibnall's time.

[@Mrvoid180]

I'm a man who barely cry's but this break my heart to see him go specially when he sees Amy and she says raggy man good night that made me almost tear up best regeneration from doctor who it so underated

[@TheBalisongBear]

I love that, in the 50th anniversary, the episide before this one, he is called "the man who forgets". He spent centuries trying to forget the horrors of the time war, but now he lives without that guilt. Now, he swears to remember the past

[@mcarp555]

I cried all the way through this the first time; it was the pinnacle of Matt's time as the Doctor. The words he says are so true for all of us. And seeing Amy again. It was all so powerful. And Clara's bottom in that red plaid skirt. Everything about this is wonderful.

[@LibertyBridgeProductions]

This is the saddest one. Maybe I’m biased cuz he’s my doctor but honestly it’s heartbreaking can’t help but tear up. Tennant’s I found sad also and had seen it before this but god this one gets me.

[@freddymeier2697]

Matt's farewell speech is one of the best pieces of writing and the greatest goodbye of all. You have the ' Rings of Akatosk playing ' The words are true for all life Amy saying " Raggedy man " Finally a gentle nod goodbye to his bowtie that he used to marry River ❤ His journey as the Doctor really has come full circle and RESET

[@gladiator7496]

"I don't like the colour" So you're telling me he knows what it looks like from the inside 💀💀

[@F0NZ13]

I said that to my brother once, he asked me, “you don’t like the color….of your kidneys?”

[@stitchesandstaples]

You could tell Matt Smith felt all of this.

[@mikeyjohnstone1565]

I personally think that Matt Smith broke character during his speech about his time as The Doctor and was delivering the lines as himself while thinking about his journey before and during his time on Doctor Who and the journey hes about to embark on after Doctor Who. And for me that just makes this scene so much better than it already is.

[@kierant6679]

Can't believe I was 10 when this came out. I couldnt decide whether david or matt was my favourite doctor, now i mthink matt is my favourite with david at a VERY close second, with the david-matt regeneration being my fave then this one. I was like 7 when my dad showed me doctorwho for the first time, came in with david tennant and the david-matt regeneration being one of the first things i saw of doctorwho on tv when it came out. I grew up with matt smith, playing the adventure games and having action figures etc. So much nostalgia and memories. This was my childhood.

[@dicon912]

Oml same. Watching this genuinely makes me tear up. Partly because it’s a really sad scene, but also partly because it’s when I stopped watching it. I miss being about 7 or 8 when I used to go to lambs toy shop and toys r us to buy some doctor who figures.

[@Tom_2103]

Same here, Matt Smith was my introduction to the series with his first episode. So for that reason he'll always be my favorite

[@catherinespark]

I love how we enter the TARDIS and the chaos looks random to Clara but organised to us because we know about the Doctor's story with Amy where Clara doesn't know about it. :)

[@kaye1776]

I didn't even realize it was a nod to Matt's first episode until I read this. Ugh, that makes my heart clench a little. Props to Moffat for that.

The speech the Doctor gives at their regeneration always feels like the actor/actress saying goodbye to the show, to the role and to the audience. I've always loved it. Especially lines like "I will always remember when the Doctor was me". Though I guess that goes more for 11, 12 and 13 than 9 and 10.

He made being different an odd cool and encouraged so many young and old with his potrayal. It felt so wrong to see him go. But Peter did an excellent job so looking back its okay, but gosh i felt like Clara did initially

Even though 11 used most of his regeneration beforehand, I still don’t like this QUICK change. I remember feeling very disappointed, still am…

[@g-forcemapping8454]

I think it fits, Think about it Tennants regeneration was long and drawn out because he was trying to use up every possible second with that face since he had only had it for a short amount of time (as a timelord), essentially dragging it out. However, Matt had been around longer than Tennant's regenerations (yes both) had been (in-universe). Plus, he knew he was getting a whole new regeneration cycle thus, he didn't try and fight the change having lived a long life. Another reason is that it's possible that since it was his second cycle of thirteen regenerations, he had no idea about what the impacts of not regenerating could be. Thus his quick change and relative calmness. Just my two-cents

I used to love doctor who, my auntie does too she has old vhs tapes of the old doctor who. The issue for me is doctor who started going downhill after Matt Smith left. Matt Smith played a brilliant doctor and I loved his episodes but with Peters and Jodie I just have no love for their episodes, I don't have the excitement for their episodes that I had when Matt Smith and David Tennant was the doctor.

[@superomegaprimemk2]

Peter tried his best but the BBC was beginning to go insane along with Hollywood, once Peter was out along with Moftet, the steady decline hit a slope upwards for a moment and then into free fall, the show ratings have been really bad in the Jode era, not even her departure from the show could really drive up viewers, Russell T Davis and David Tennant have been bought back to try and save the show but the question is, can they actually save it? If not I expect the show to simply vanish from the airwaves and be forgotten outside of those who watch the home media copies of the better days, when the BBC weren't insane and trying to lean to far to one side of the isle for no reason, then again the BBC will be forced to choose between the insanity of their politics or going out of business when the charter for the license fee comes up for renewal in the near future!!
