12 was the most doctor doctor ever. It was so clear that this was the closest thing we ever got to seeing who the Doctor REALLY is with no Silver lining, no chrome coat. The tired, cynical, get it done and be done old man. I think that comes through so well on the line "I can't keep on being someone else."
12 is my Doctor. I’ve often felt like the reset in regenerations turned the literally reset the Doctor to a more seasoned version of his first incarnation, with bits and pieces of the other men he had been. I know we say that every Doctor is THE Doctor but there’s something to be said when a true fan of the show actually gets to play a character they probably spent a majority of their life cosplaying. Capaldi got everything right.
I love the contrast of how the 10th Doctor held his regeneration because he wanted to stay in the life he was living, however the 12th Doctor held his regeneration because he was fed up of life in general. While the 11th Doctor let out his regeneration energy in an instant because he was excited to start a new life that continues the one he already lived.

This ending was actually darker than I think anyone noticed. The Doctor thinks he's failed, thinks Missy really abandons him, thinks Bill is dead, and knows nothing about whether or not Nardole made it out alive. Missy died being good, without anyone to see her do it. The Doctor will never know she wanted to really help in the end. Bill thinks the Doctor's dead, thinks Nardole might be dead, and for all she knows, two Masters are running scot-free. Nardole thinks every single person is dead and there's no way to fact-check it. The only saving grace is that there are no humans left to Cyber-Convert, so the Cybermen will never be able to overwhelm him.
She's already a water entity at the end, and thinks he's actually dead BILL: I suppose this is the only place he'd rest in peace. If there's any place he'd do that. But she does say she doesn't think he'll stay dead.
I love how the Tardis is trying to get the Doctor to wake up by sending al those flashbacks. But the only one that actually gets him to wake up is Missy.
So did the fifth Doctor! He actually started to regenerate in the third episode of The Caves Of Androzani, but held it back until the end of the following episode! Someone pointed this out to me, I was very sceptical, but I checked and it's true!

The way Capaldi said "I don't wanna go.." was amazing! I didn't notice that watching it the first time round. He managed to mimick David Tennant almost
What I love about this scene is that it shows how deep the Doctor and the Master's friendship goes. The memory of all his companions couldn't rouse him but as soon as the Master pops into his memory, he's up immediately.
The slow burning nature of their rise to friendship again is what makes their scenes some of the most powerful in new who. I think the appearance of Missy in this scene carries a stronger message, that the Doctor knew her intentions to stand with him from the moment she left to ‘kill herself’, they’ve spent a minimum of 70 years essentially caring for one another in very close proximity so it would absolutely make sense for their to be a deep understanding of motives between the two or even a telepathic bond as they are both time lords.
Benjamin Nealon What I hate about this is that the master was always meant to be the doctor's nemesis. Not his friend. If the old producers of the show watched this I'm sure they would have been repulsed.
@@beastaree5646 the Doctor and the Master were ALWAYS friends. See at the end of Terror of Autons the Doctor saying he is looking forward to meet the Master again. Or in part 4 of Mind of Evil, where the Master saves his life by making his heart beats again. And even when he comes back as Anthony Ainley's incarnation there are still some hints, like in the Five Doctors when Susan notices they talk as they were friends. And even at the end of Survival, where the Doctors "WE gotta go" and then sounds mournful when he answers Ace about where the Master has gone. Enemies? Yes. Friends? Definitively.
The stark difference between him and the 11th Doctor 11th: "We all change when you think about it, we all change all throughout our lives and that's good, change is good so long as you remmeber all the people you used to be" 12: "I don't want to change again. Never again! I can't keep on being somebody else! Whatever it is, I'm staying"
The good Cyberleader Same but with like with Russel T Davies back. Cause Chibnall clearly can't make episodes my examples for this is ALL the episodes he has made. All they do is have these random timers and the sonic identifying "high energy readings". And Moffat well Moffat is more the one hit wonder type of guy
Everything Ends.. And it's always sad. But everything begins again too.. Be happy 😉 sorry I had to 😂 but I'm sure Jodie is gonna be awesome as the Doctor
I hope they eventually novelize that sequence. It's like he's almost getting briefly possessed by his previous incarnations, very interesting regeneration concept, I'd love to see that sequence get explored a little bit more.
12 didn't want to go either. In fact he resisted the concept and actuality of death even more than 10 did. 10 was about hubris. 12 is about acceptance and denial. Not necessarily in that order.
The Doctor here is just so sad because he remembers more than any other doctor. Ten regrets, Eleven forgets, and Twelve remembers everything. He remembered all his regenerations and how they felt so scared, which isn't something the others usually refer to. He was so scared he actually ran away from fate. It breaks my heart.
Yeah, he was - at the end of the day - an old fluffy, squishy, emotional mess. The warmest and kindest of them all, despite appearances. I seriously miss him :(
Capaldi grew into a truly great doctor. I think a lot of people didn’t really like him at the start of his reign, but by the end by god did he do it well.
11 still had the best goodbye I like how he just accepted his fate and understood that in a way he was unique and that he was not the doctor but was the doctor at the same time. "We are 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"
The thing is, 11 had the best circumstances. He lived out a full life protecting the town and didn’t think he would be able to regenerate again (which is honestly pretty dumb when you look back at day of the doctor. Like did he not notice an extra tardis?). He’s the only one who got to live out his life to the end and honestly thought that WAS the end. To 11 getting a regeneration at all was a miracle. The others (at least from new who) lost their lives and didn’t want to change because they could have lived on as them longer.
@@vullord666 You can't remember future events with yourself unless you are the future one, he simply didn't remember it when the timelines collapsed back to normal
@@vullord666 12's arrival put 11's timeline out of synch, he only remembered everything till his arrival hence him not knowing Gallifrey survived whereas 12 was sure of its survival in heaven sent. Also the Time Lords despite knowing The Doctor only has 12 faces so the arrival of a thirteenth doctor would mean he somehow got extra regenerations to become that version, still they didn't give him that regeneration until he almost got got killed on Trenzelore.
Missy is his oldest friend, he explained it to Bill in "World Enough and Time". And in "The Magician's Apprentice", Missy has the Confession Dial. I don't see the problem, that's normal if Missy did wake up him.

Nobody ever mentions 1:40 It's so underrated. The Doctor knew. He knew Missy had changed. He never got to see it. He never got to whiteness her turn against The Master. But he never needed to see it. He knew in his heart she had changed, and for that small moment in time, he had his friend back. Enough so that she spoke to him in his final moments. Her memory was right there, next to his greatest companions. His oldest friend, finally back where The Doctor has always wanted her to be. I absolutely love it.
Wonder if it was depressed because it thought the doctor died, and then the regeneration proved otherwise. Hence all the lights kicking on when he started regenerating.
I love the nod to the 4th Doctor’s final moments in Logopolis - which also happens to feature Sarah Jane saying, “Doc-tah” ... as well as the “Sontarans perverting the course of human history” line, which were among the 4th Doctor’s first words after regenerating 😊
Okay first things first: Twelve referencing past doctors, “remembering his past selves”, just like Eleven had said before he regenerated, is a wonderful little bit. Secondly, I am tired of the Rory disrespect- he was a main companion for almost 2 seasons, and yes, he should’ve indeed been included in the little montage.
This did truly feel like, and certainly could be mistaken for, the end of the show. Just the music and his refusal and the whole flashback of the companions felt like a proper ‘this is it’ sort of moment. Brilliant stuff.
Annnnd... stop it right at 1:20 This was the true end of Doctor Who and everything we loved and cherished about the series. Capaldi never regenerated, the TARDIS went to Trenzalore where it became the Doctor's tomb and swelled in size, and that was it.
Ngl but there are times where I wish the doctor didnt wake up in that scene and the tardis took the Doctor to Trenzorlo and shut it self down ( like in a montage with all the rooms but dedicate important shots to old control rooms before we get the final shot with the current control room shutting down in style with no music then cue the end credits
@@wackywaa1458 He doesn't. Just because a Doctor sees a future version of themselves, doesn't mean they're going to live that long. Consider The Five Doctors and The Two Doctors. If something was happening to a former Doctor, the future one would feel it and it's live would be ended like it never happened.
+ *Jason* If you're going to be obtuse enough to block out the thirteenth Doctor, why wouldn't you also block out the Curator? It's not much of a stretch.
@@CrazyHorseTheSiouxW4rrior No he doesnt. The Doctor can control what/who he regenerates into, the thing is he just basically has it on random. Romana and River decided how they wanted to look so if the Doctor really wanted to he could've just regenerate back into Peter Capaldi. Not the way David Tennant did it, he could've done that without the hand but that whole thing was just to give Rose a happy ending. Technically it would've worked better for Capaldi though, Capaldi breaks off into his own person while Whittaker takes over as the Doctor.
As the doctor steps out of the Tardis, you can hear the music that played William Hartnell's departure in the Docudrame "An adventure in Space and Time", foreshadowing that 12 is about to meet the First Doctor.
Seriously with this and the Christmas special depicting him and his very first incarnation making the decision to press onward in existence, this should have been the conclusion of New Who. Have him regenerate, maybe we glimpse the new one, but let the Doctor go on to explore further as the audience bids farewell to an era. It would've been a perfect place to end, or at least go on hiatus before some new folks enamored with the mythos of the Doctor take up the mantle.
I don’t for even a second question the decision to keep producing the series, but given how badly the new seasons have turned out I think I will be acting as if what you have said is true. Each showrunner have their own story arcs, and both RTD and Moffat really tied up everything up before their time on the show was up, with only a couple of things like River Song and Captain Jack leaking through just a little bit into both. In the End of Time Part 2 we have the conclusion to every story arc and character that RTD set up in his time on the show, and here by the end of the season 10 Christmas special, we have a decisive end to everything that Moffat has set up over the past 6 seasons. And, since each showrunner seems to have their own contained narrative I see no reason why I can’t decide to skip the Chibnall era entirely and just wait for whoever takes up the reins next and hopefully does the series justice again. Until that happens, Doctor Who ends here for me. And what a beautiful ending it was…
Seeing Missy in the flashbacks kills me bc he never found out she wanted to come back and join him but he remembers her attempts to change to better before that and sees her as one of the most important people in his life even tho he thinks she didn't change. Doctor and Master are really Professor X and Magneto of Doctor Who.
I feel you. Nobody ever mentions 1:40 It's so underrated. But i think The Doctor knew. He knew Missy changed. He never got to see it, he never got to see her turn against the master. But he never needed to see it. He knew in his heart she had changed and for that small moment in time, he had his friend back. Enough so, that she spoke to him in his final moments, her memory was right there, next to his greatest companions. His oldest friend, finally back where The Doctor has always wanted her to be. I absolutely love it.
What blows my mind, is that he quotes Tennant and Smith, but that's not all. He quotes many doctors from when he starts regenerating against the cybermen in his self sacrifice scene, "I'm THE Doctor. The original you might say" "Doctor...Doctor...let it go" it's absolutely outstandingly written.
2:41 "Where have you taken me?" 11: "You know, since we're talking with mouths, not really an opportunity that comes along very often, I just want to say, you know, you have never been very reliable." Idris: "And you have?" 11: "You didn't always take me where I wanted to go." Idris: "No, but I always took you where you needed to go."
and he was subjectively the best, you have to admit, "Blink" was one of, if not the best episode in the series thus far. also, his relationship with his companions was amazing
alpha reaperion subjectively means opinion based. If you’re opinion is that he is the best, you’re totally entitled to think that. If people think otherwise then that’s okay too. Lots of people think Tennant was over the top and his relationship with Rose was annoying. Don’t get me wrong, he’s one of my favourites as well. All I’m saying is, it’s subjective, different people think different things.
Liam Catterson It was done on purpose - both his lines when he woke. Also I don’t find it that much more emotional, it seemed too rushed to create emotion.
Super specific nerdy trivia here: The shirt Peter wears between what you see at 1:18 (pause and look at it upside down) and 1:43 changes. They swapped the shirt with the top button moved across slightly to create a wider tie space for the shirt with the top button in its original place. It’s essentially the difference between how his shirt collar is in episodes such as Into the Dalek and Heaven Sent and how it is in Lie of the Land and World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls. I’m not sure if this was a deliberate stylistic choice for Peter’s final episode (Twice Upon a Time) or whether they just put the wrong shirt back on him by mistake.
This is pretty similar to the 5th doctor’s regeneration. His companions calling for him. The only difference is that he doesn’t regenerate when that happened.

Twice Upon a Time really does feel like it too me. The themes come full circle, the ending speech; everything felt like they could have stopped right there, mid-generation (or even during the white flash at the end of that sequence) and it'd be satisfying. Then series 11 went on to break my heart :( And series 12 went on to break Gallifrey. I know the goal for the show is for it to be a forever show, but maybe a good multi-year break away from the series would have done the creative team good. Keep 13 if you want, but the showrunner, the writing, the sets; everything just screams a train that's run out of fuel. But DW shouldn't ever. It just needed a break, and 12's end provided the perfect setup for it 😫
I dont know if it was intentional can someone pointed it out in this comments section, but Matt Smith's doctor set like a man having a midlife crisis as he was on his last regeneration, and Peter Capaldi feels like the new lease on life and feels like one of the most accurate representation of the doctor's true soul, not afraid to show his past his age is experiences anger his impatience, and like there at the end where he says I don't want to go I don't want to keep eating someone else, it really feels that way it feels like Peter Capaldi's doctor was the doctor and was one of those accurate representations of the doctor would look like throughout all of his past lives
I love the way they show the doctor going through the different types of regeneration and that 12 would have had the memory Vortex, but because he refused regeneration it switched to the slow Explosion when he actually did.
Yeah that's what I saw. Reminds me of logopolis and the caves of androzani with the four's companions. Also fives regeneration as a whole felt similar to this.
2 dislikes now....almost criminal eh? wasn't me I hasten to add btw! I like him, can complain as I too am Scottish! (read that in his voice did you? lol) 2 pudding brains they want to shuttity up eh?
The way he’s talking, it almost like not just his cycle was reset, but his personality. For all intents, 12 is basically 1 but now with all the experience of his past faces, the cycle reset brought him full circle back to his original self.
The flashbacks of friends and companions from the last decade was a really lovely surprise. When I first saw it, my eyes almost popped out of my head when it suddenly cut to Rose! An obvious nod to the Fourth and Fifth Doctor’s regenerations, it also felt like a reflection on the last decade of the show before we head on to one of the biggest changes in its history. I’m curious to know which characters were listed in the script or what conversations were had in edit over who should be included. The omissions of Rory and Strax are baffling! This is a really great scene though. Bill’s goodbye to the Doctor is beautiful, and Pearl Mackie’s performance really sells it. I can’t not mention Rachel Talalay’s direction either. I love how she experimented with the lighting on this TARDIS set in her episodes, particularly in something like Heaven Sent. I hope we see her directing Doctor Who again one day!
You know, if the doctor didn't regenerate, he could've ended the series on a high note. He let the series fall into what I call corporate political writing hell.
12 was the most doctor doctor ever. It was so clear that this was the closest thing we ever got to seeing who the Doctor REALLY is with no Silver lining, no chrome coat. The tired, cynical, get it done and be done old man. I think that comes through so well on the line "I can't keep on being someone else."
agreed.
Yes
With all the flaws this season had. I would accept this as the final season of Doctor Who. Just cut it right before revealing Jodie.
12 is my Doctor. I’ve often felt like the reset in regenerations turned the literally reset the Doctor to a more seasoned version of his first incarnation, with bits and pieces of the other men he had been. I know we say that every Doctor is THE Doctor but there’s something to be said when a true fan of the show actually gets to play a character they probably spent a majority of their life cosplaying.

He also needed to blow up a load of daleks

@@vullord666 12's arrival put 11's timeline out of synch, he only remembered everything till his arrival hence him not knowing Gallifrey survived whereas 12 was sure of its survival in heaven sent.
Also the Time Lords despite knowing The Doctor only has 12 faces so the arrival of a thirteenth doctor would mean he somehow got extra regenerations to become that version, still they didn't give him that regeneration until he almost got got killed on Trenzelore.
No one of his companions could wake up him...
But Missy could.
Missy is his oldest friend, he explained it to Bill in "World Enough and Time". And in "The Magician's Apprentice", Missy has the Confession Dial. I don't see the problem, that's normal if Missy did wake up him.

It's so underrated.
The Doctor knew. He knew Missy had changed. He never got to see it. He never got to whiteness her turn against The Master. But he never needed to see it. He knew in his heart she had changed, and for that small moment in time, he had his friend back. Enough so that she spoke to him in his final moments. Her memory was right there, next to his greatest companions. His oldest friend, finally back where The Doctor has always wanted her to be. I absolutely love it.
I like how when that Regeneration Spark occurred on the Doctors Forehead the Tardis immediately kicked into action and was like "It's Time Sweetie"
"I'll see you soon"
i think that is where Bills tear fell
Wonder if it was depressed because it thought the doctor died, and then the regeneration proved otherwise.
Hence all the lights kicking on when he started regenerating.
@@techno1561 The tardis is connected to him, thats why it started translating when the doctor woke up in tenth doctors first christmas special
I love the nod to the 4th Doctor’s final moments in Logopolis - which also happens to feature Sarah Jane saying, “Doc-tah” ... as well as the “Sontarans perverting the course of human history” line, which were among the 4th Doctor’s first words after regenerating 😊
What a doctor he was. Truly a legend Peter Capaldi.
Okay first things first: Twelve referencing past doctors, “remembering his past selves”, just like Eleven had said before he regenerated, is a wonderful little bit. Secondly, I am tired of the Rory disrespect- he was a main companion for almost 2 seasons, and yes, he should’ve indeed been included in the little montage.
2:28 I love that clean shot for tardis landing and shutting down its engines without anything else going on
This did truly feel like, and certainly could be mistaken for, the end of the show. Just the music and his refusal and the whole flashback of the companions felt like a proper ‘this is it’ sort of moment. Brilliant stuff.
Annnnd... stop it right at 1:20
This was the true end of Doctor Who and everything we loved and cherished about the series. Capaldi never regenerated, the TARDIS went to Trenzalore where it became the Doctor's tomb and swelled in size, and that was it.
JasonThe13th that’s how it should have ended. In my head, the doctor died here and that was it. Such a shame what the show has become now.
Ngl but there are times where I wish the doctor didnt wake up in that scene and the tardis took the Doctor to Trenzorlo and shut it self down ( like in a montage with all the rooms but dedicate important shots to old control rooms before we get the final shot with the current control room shutting down in style with no music then cue the end credits
But how does he regenerate into the curator then?
@@wackywaa1458 He doesn't. Just because a Doctor sees a future version of themselves, doesn't mean they're going to live that long. Consider The Five Doctors and The Two Doctors. If something was happening to a former Doctor, the future one would feel it and it's live would be ended like it never happened.
+ *Jason* If you're going to be obtuse enough to block out the thirteenth Doctor, why wouldn't you also block out the Curator? It's not much of a stretch.
He chose Pompeii’s face, to bind himself. The reality is yet to be revealed.
Also, same cloister bell sound as in Logopolis, Tom Baker’s final episode
Peter Capaldi was a great doctor. This is such an amazing show with twists and turns along the way! Keep it up you guys!!!
I hope but i dont expect much because i have to many years behind me to expect much
1:45 - right in the feels
His regeneration was really emotional! I loved how he reminisced on the tenth and eleventh doctors final words. He really did not want to go...😭❤️
Phoebe Clothier if the doctor wants to live then he has to change unless he really wants to die
@@CrazyHorseTheSiouxW4rrior No he doesnt. The Doctor can control what/who he regenerates into, the thing is he just basically has it on random. Romana and River decided how they wanted to look so if the Doctor really wanted to he could've just regenerate back into Peter Capaldi.
Not the way David Tennant did it, he could've done that without the hand but that whole thing was just to give Rose a happy ending. Technically it would've worked better for Capaldi though, Capaldi breaks off into his own person while Whittaker takes over as the Doctor.
As the doctor steps out of the Tardis, you can hear the music that played William Hartnell's departure in the Docudrame "An adventure in Space and Time", foreshadowing that 12 is about to meet the First Doctor.
A great finale for a great Doctor!
Seriously with this and the Christmas special depicting him and his very first incarnation making the decision to press onward in existence, this should have been the conclusion of New Who. Have him regenerate, maybe we glimpse the new one, but let the Doctor go on to explore further as the audience bids farewell to an era. It would've been a perfect place to end, or at least go on hiatus before some new folks enamored with the mythos of the Doctor take up the mantle.
I don’t for even a second question the decision to keep producing the series, but given how badly the new seasons have turned out I think I will be acting as if what you have said is true. Each showrunner have their own story arcs, and both RTD and Moffat really tied up everything up before their time on the show was up, with only a couple of things like River Song and Captain Jack leaking through just a little bit into both. In the End of Time Part 2 we have the conclusion to every story arc and character that RTD set up in his time on the show, and here by the end of the season 10 Christmas special, we have a decisive end to everything that Moffat has set up over the past 6 seasons. And, since each showrunner seems to have their own contained narrative I see no reason why I can’t decide to skip the Chibnall era entirely and just wait for whoever takes up the reins next and hopefully does the series justice again. Until that happens, Doctor Who ends here for me. And what a beautiful ending it was…

The series of clips of companions calling the doctor reminded me so much of the 4th doctor's final moments before he regenerated.
And the 5th doctor seeing companions
The way he delivers the line “never again” and “I will not change” such an incredible actor I will miss him like hell.
Peter just is the Doctor, on and off screen. But I am excited to see what Whittaker will do with the role. She's very good.
Best doctor with the worst episodes, IMO.
He shone brighter than anything in Heaven Sent, though.
rky Maybe worst episodes, but with Heaven Sent also the best episode.
Heaven Sent nobody wants to remember that episode
JustSomeRandomGuy Online That was the best episode in the modern era. The worst being hell bent.
I keep hearing that but I really don't see what's supposed to be wrong with them. Each to their own though :/
RedCyberTardis meh. I liked them both :)
Seeing Missy in the flashbacks kills me bc he never found out she wanted to come back and join him but he remembers her attempts to change to better before that and sees her as one of the most important people in his life even tho he thinks she didn't change. Doctor and Master are really Professor X and Magneto of Doctor Who.
I feel you.

I absolutely love it.
What blows my mind, is that he quotes Tennant and Smith, but that's not all. He quotes many doctors from when he starts regenerating against the cybermen in his self sacrifice scene, "I'm THE Doctor. The original you might say" "Doctor...Doctor...let it go" it's absolutely outstandingly written.
2:41 "Where have you taken me?"
11: "You know, since we're talking with mouths, not really an opportunity that comes along very often, I just want to say, you know, you have never been very reliable."
Idris: "And you have?"
11: "You didn't always take me where I wanted to go."
Idris: "No, but I always took you where you needed to go."
One of my favouite things about the 12th doctor was the outfits
What a satisfying conclusion for Malcolm's character arc.
xD
Aahhaha
I miss capaldi and Tennant leaving doctor who I'm still recovering since David Tennant leaving doctor who in 2009
I love how the Tardis is just a character in this show.
And then we learned that beyond not wanting to change, he just wanted to die. Oh, Doctor....
Goodbye the best Doctor of all😢😢
tennant was best doctor
alpha reaperion it’s subjective
and he was subjectively the best, you have to admit, "Blink" was one of, if not the best episode in the series thus far. also, his relationship with his companions was amazing
alpha reaperion Like blink very much
alpha reaperion subjectively means opinion based. If you’re opinion is that he is the best, you’re totally entitled to think that. If people think otherwise then that’s okay too. Lots of people think Tennant was over the top and his relationship with Rose was annoying. Don’t get me wrong, he’s one of my favourites as well. All I’m saying is, it’s subjective, different people think different things.
I don't know why but I always think 12's "I don't want to go" is more heartbreaking than Ten's.
Animu Researcher 12 definitely had more time. The 10th doctor was only him for about 4 years
Liam Catterson It was done on purpose - both his lines when he woke. Also I don’t find it that much more emotional, it seemed too rushed to create emotion.
Tellur1an I second that. It felt shit tbh with you. Nice call back but cheap
I don't agree
Me to
Super specific nerdy trivia here:
The shirt Peter wears between what you see at 1:18 (pause and look at it upside down) and 1:43 changes. They swapped the shirt with the top button moved across slightly to create a wider tie space for the shirt with the top button in its original place.
It’s essentially the difference between how his shirt collar is in episodes such as Into the Dalek and Heaven Sent and how it is in Lie of the Land and World Enough and Time/The Doctor Falls.
I’m not sure if this was a deliberate stylistic choice for Peter’s final episode (Twice Upon a Time) or whether they just put the wrong shirt back on him by mistake.
But eventually it will be..."Doctor, I let you go". Not just yet, though.
We will always remember when the Doctor was him!
The TARDIS calmed down when Peter stopped regenerating and threw Jodie out as she knew we don't need any other Doctor anymore
1:49 Tenth Doctor's Final Words (The End Of Time: Part Two)
1:57, 2:01-2:03, 2:07 Eleventh Doctor's Final Words (The Time Of The Doctor)
This is pretty similar to the 5th doctor’s regeneration. His companions calling for him. The only difference is that he doesn’t regenerate when that happened.
The Fourth Doctor as well.
This truly feels like the last episode of doctor who.
dalai lama styrofoam West New York New Jersey public like a paralegal Burlington coat factory Pisgah fish mission Crest how to connect I really need a ride
Twice Upon a Time really does feel like it too me. The themes come full circle, the ending speech; everything felt like they could have stopped right there, mid-generation (or even during the white flash at the end of that sequence) and it'd be satisfying.
Then series 11 went on to break my heart :(
And series 12 went on to break Gallifrey.
I know the goal for the show is for it to be a forever show, but maybe a good multi-year break away from the series would have done the creative team good. Keep 13 if you want, but the showrunner, the writing, the sets; everything just screams a train that's run out of fuel. But DW shouldn't ever. It just needed a break, and 12's end provided the perfect setup for it 😫
I bloody LOVE that it’s Missy saying doctor that gives him that extra lease of life.
Like 5 with his regen it's the new who equivilent. Coincidentally he is the 5th of new who counting the war doc
I love that missy is the final catalyst to wake him up
i miss him..
Then he met the first version of himself right?
PokemonTrainerJackie yep
PokemonTrainerJackie yes
No William hartnell died many years ago, this is a just an actor who is looks nothing like him and acts totally opposite to hartnell. Very bad.
Lee Morris I think he kind of looks like him
At least Bradley got to play a better version of The First Doctor in the new First Doctor audio dramas
The lighting, the music, the camera revolving down on him.. so beautiful and atmospheric this scene!!
i like how he says all the things the past doctors from the new who, apart from eccelston
Well to be fair Eccelston said " fantastic" at the end. It would look a bit out of place if 12 said it in this scene.
This is where pretty much the series ends. Anything after doesn't exist.
Duh
I dont know if it was intentional can someone pointed it out in this comments section, but Matt Smith's doctor set like a man having a midlife crisis as he was on his last regeneration, and Peter Capaldi feels like the new lease on life and feels like one of the most accurate representation of the doctor's true soul, not afraid to show his past his age is experiences anger his impatience, and like there at the end where he says I don't want to go I don't want to keep eating someone else, it really feels that way it feels like Peter Capaldi's doctor was the doctor and was one of those accurate representations of the doctor would look like throughout all of his past lives
What happened to Bill was so horrifying, but I was so happy she got her ending with Puddle Girl
His companions gave him strength to wake up, but the Master shocked him awake.
Even now, knowing the show is still going, this really did feel like an ending.
"I dont wanna go" ......it makes me sad... I miss David so much 1:49
It's so sad to hear him say the last words of his past lives.
Well some
Gut wrenching watching the absolute final episode of doctor who ever made
1:49 somebody needs to compare this to 10ths line
1:43 Tom Baker
1:49 David Tennant
2:01 Matt Smith
2:17 David Tennant
2:22 Patrick Troughton
Peter was my deffinitive doctor he was goofy and funny and yet a badass at the same time
I just realized No Rory in the flashbacks to his companions saying Doctor.
I love how this scene is full of references
I love the way they show the doctor going through the different types of regeneration and that 12 would have had the memory Vortex, but because he refused regeneration it switched to the slow Explosion when he actually did.
Aww, Capaldi is still here telling me to subscribe. Tears...
I love the "I dont want to go" (from the tenth) and "when the doctor was me" (from the eleventh).
This always reminds me of the regenerations of the 4th and 5th doctors because of the flashback memories of past companions calling his name.
Yeah that's what I saw. Reminds me of logopolis and the caves of androzani with the four's companions. Also fives regeneration as a whole felt similar to this.
2:17: he even makes David’s face
... Yep...this killed me ...😭😭
yeah, especially the "I don't want to change again/want to stay me" T_T
'We're on galifrey! Dying is time lord for man flu!" Love that line 🤣
1 dislike??? Who dares to commit such a sin?!
one of the cybermen that exploded probably u.u
2 dislikes now....almost criminal eh? wasn't me I hasten to add btw! I like him, can complain as I too am Scottish! (read that in his voice did you? lol) 2 pudding brains they want to shuttity up eh?
The Master
Probably Rory Williams, because The Doctor didn't remember he was a companion.
9th doc lovers, Xd
The way he’s talking, it almost like not just his cycle was reset, but his personality. For all intents, 12 is basically 1 but now with all the experience of his past faces, the cycle reset brought him full circle back to his original self.
The flashbacks of friends and companions from the last decade was a really lovely surprise. When I first saw it, my eyes almost popped out of my head when it suddenly cut to Rose! An obvious nod to the Fourth and Fifth Doctor’s regenerations, it also felt like a reflection on the last decade of the show before we head on to one of the biggest changes in its history. I’m curious to know which characters were listed in the script or what conversations were had in edit over who should be included. The omissions of Rory and Strax are baffling!
This is a really great scene though. Bill’s goodbye to the Doctor is beautiful, and Pearl Mackie’s performance really sells it. I can’t not mention Rachel Talalay’s direction either. I love how she experimented with the lighting on this TARDIS set in her episodes, particularly in something like Heaven Sent. I hope we see her directing Doctor Who again one day!
And Mickey too...
Proof that the Tardis doesn’t lose course because of The Doctor regenerating, but instead does it out of spite for messing up its insides.
Now we know why he really didn't want to change
2:22 he was trying desperately to not change, but for a moment he was scared he wouldn't succeed, so he tried even harder
You know, if the doctor didn't regenerate, he could've ended the series on a high note. He let the series fall into what I call corporate political writing hell.
Aaaaah! This was so EPIC DW era!
