The best regeneration effect of the series, especially in the lead-up where you can see the cracks start to form on her face. Also, she finally decided to give the TARDIS a break and regenerate outside for once!

[@frankfernandez2690]

I was confused on this, isn't the reason the doctors regenerate inside the Tardis because the amount of energy they release serves a purpose for the Tardis?

[@ClingToFilm]

@@frankfernandez2690 I've never thought of it like that but that’s a great theory. I just thought that the safest place that the Doctor can regenerate is in the TARDIS since it can probably help in their recovery, has a zero room etc. But the Doctor hasn't been doing it any favours by blowing it up for the past few regenerations 😂

[@WackoMcGoose]

@@ClingToFilm They were also _holding back_ on at least a few of them, especially Ten. His was so explosive the TARDIS literally had to "regenerate" her own self after that. Eleven had the decency to do his Regeneration Cycle Reboot _outdoors,_ and the final actual change was a quick-flash to Twelve, who had the usual regeneration trauma ("Everybody, take five!"). I forget if Twelve exploded or not, but considering he's the (by subjective time experienced) longest-lived Doctor by _multiple orders of magnitude_ it wouldn't surprise me if he did.

[@Skater-uq1gm]

I want to say that maybe it has something to do with the longer they live as that generation of the Doctor, the more regeneration energy stores up and comes out of them for their cycle. But then unfortunately 10 was not around very long and his regen almost destroyed the TARDIS to the point she had to leave for a bit. But he did also technically regen twice also at the very start with his hand. So maybe that's why? Idk. 9 wasn't around long and his was quick and no damage and even with Rose in the TARDIS. 10 was a massive amount of damage. 11 was enough to destroy a whole Dalek basically StarDestroyer ship. And twelve seemed to confuse the TARDIS so much that she basically tried to reject 13. So he still did a lot of damage as well.

[@DarkAnon100]

​@@WackoMcGooseactually twelve did practically the same thing as ten, not wanting to regenerate so when it happened, it wasnt explosive as ten, but it was more than enough for the TARDIS to regenerate itself

Don’t remind me of the David Tennant’s farewell parade of death, it was bad enough 10 was one of the shortest incarnations only being around for 6 years, and then acting like an emo child because he’s gonna change form. It’s not like he hadn’t been through it 11 times previously. Idk, maybe if he spent a couple centuries as 10 and not lying about his age being 900 something when the last time he was 900 years old he was Colin Baker

[@twentytwoblue22]

@@tgiacin435 your missing the more meta reason for how they did 10s farewell. It was a farewell to the writer that brought back the show and an actor who specifically went into acting because of Doctor Who. Awkward in execution watching now but at the time there was reason and an impact from it

[@tgiacin435]

@@twentytwoblue22 I get it, but if you have to go out of the way to make a meta point at the expense of the show, there are better ways to do it than the David Tennant’s farewell parade of death. I mean maybe if it was 10 all bruised and battered and he shows up in the background at Donna’s wedding, or even seeing Rose New Year’s Eve would be fine over Martha and Mickey getting married for a joke, 10 setting Hack up with the pilot from the voyage of the damned. I’m all for a send off, but there is overkill. I mean imagine if Tom Baker did the same thing. He’s pretty much the most infamous person to play the Doctor. And his death was more impactful than the David Tennant’s farewell parade of death

[@twentytwoblue22]

@@tgiacin435 dude I agreed it's awkward in it's execution now years later. The meta, nuance, even the clunky fanfare execution gives a look into how things were in 2010 and adds to the scene in that sense. Ofc they wouldn't do that with Tom Baker too it was the early 80s. I just think looking at the time period and events going on for any production and how that influences it is a neat factor

David Tennant's baffled reaction to the whole thing is legitimately hilarious. It is kinda cool to me to see the Doctor regenerate into an appearance we've seen before, especially as the possibility was already teased in the past with the Curator. I also appreciated Whittaker's reaction. Unlike, say, Tennant or Smith, who were both very reluctant, she seems very accepting of the inevitability of it, and totally okay with it. Also, the entire imagery of the scene is visually absolutely stunning.

It was more about each Doctor's personality at that time. 10 had done a lot, quite a lot, and when Ood Sigma warned him of his death he made it a point to run from it and do as much as he could before going back to the Oods. I didn't get the feeling that 11 was sadly accepting, it seemed more like he was happy to have new regenerations, but was also scared of what could be (as we saw in the episode after). 12 wanted to die as he was, but was reoriented by 1 and his own memories, so he resolved to teach his future self (fitting given his teaching in his final series). 13 is a lot more carefree, which is why I love her last words were, "Tag, you're it," the phrase fits 13's playfulness so perfectly. She was still sad, and wanted to see what would happen for herself, but she didn't have reason to be scared.

Anyone else notice an electric sound around 1:08 just as The Doctor’s clothes change? Could be a sign of degeneration or something going wrong with the regeneration. There has never been an electric sound effect used during any of The Doctor’s regenerations.

@@thomasbicknell175 I stand corrected, I forgot about the Seventh Doctor’s regeneration. In fairness, none of the regenerations in the modern series have an electric sound effect. Also, the Seventh Doctor’s regeneration was stalled due to anesthesia so the electricity could be compensating for that.

They just didn't want to put David in a blouse. Shame, it would have been hilarious.

Wow, that "revisit some of the old favorites" line is coming true.
