    Speaking about the surprise regeneration aspect, it's one of the things that's making me super excited about the Centerary Special. We know there will be a regeneration, but we also know of two doctors coming in the future, but we don't know how they both exist yet. It's actually a great way of keeping that excitement of 'who's it going to be' until the episode itself, and it's probably one of the only ways to do it in this day and age.

      @@erubin100 I would say Tennant is at least on the table and it wouldn't make NO sense. Mostly thinking about the curator in the 50th anniversary, who is a future incarnation of the doctor played by Tom Baker. If I recall correctly he says that he will "revisit old favourites faces" so one interpretation is having old actors play as the doctor for a new incarnation.
      However I agree it is stupid, my personal theory is David Tennant will appear in the 60th anniversary as the meta-crisis doctor, it'd explain how he's aged, how he still exists in the "current timeline", etc

    I much prefer the bittersweet regenerations of Moffat that are both a farewell and an acceptance to the purely tragic regeneration of 10-the difference between “I don’t wanna go” and “Doctor I let you go” essentially
    I also deeply respect a small-scale sacrifice.

    I never minded the sad and deathlike aspect 10 put on regeneration as he was very vain, never wanted to change and thought he was perfect as he was, it would make sense that him changing would feel almost deathlike and of course himself looking back probably thought his past regeneration's were like death as well

    Yes 10th did have an ending regeneration and both Tennant and Smith had said about being asked back there is a limit to when the audience will think its believeable to bring them both back in things like an anniversary.
    That is why I've always wondered if RTD and Moffat secretly planned for this by creating the Meta crisis doctor and 11 spending roughly 7-800 years on trenzalore growing old. Because they were both so young at the time.
    Now they could both return really for the rest of their lives, and you won't have to do some kinda tom baker curator trickery. They can just be the character and say 10 aged like a human, and that 11 snuck in an adventure or two by getting picked up by someone else before and after Clara reaches him the first time 300 years after he sends her away.

    Read through RTDs book on making Who, he mentions that his finale plan was nothing like what he was told to make by the BBC to give it a dramatic finale. Instead, it would have been just 10 on a small spaceship and he is trying to get one person out of there alive, only to reveal at the end of the episode that the ship's engine has leaked radiation and had killed him. Shame the beebs forced him to write a goofy over the top finale

    Thirteen’s “Tag, your it.” regeneration line is my personal favorite along with Eleven’s “I will always remember when the doctor was me.”
    Miraculously I put Thirteen’s line above Eleven because I think its finally something that was in Jodie’s character of the Doctor, I look back through her series and I can see 9 times out of 10 the Doctor is just having fun in most of her episodes so it makes sense for her to treat regeneration as a sort of game
    (excluding, Tsurunga, she lost her TARDIS again, The Timeless Child, im sure that was pretty traumatic, and the last episode of the Flux arc, I imagine being split amongst three different places, one being litterally between universes would be a tad stressful, also more timeless child baggage, with a couple others i might not have mentioned)
    I can actually see similarities between Eleven and Thirteen, with their outlooks on life and adventure, even with plenty of darker moments in their respective series (although Eleven’s were better written of course)
    I think they would get along well if they met :D

    Good video although we do part company on one or two points. Personally I preferred the regeneration of the classic era. Don’t get me wrong love new-who and absolutely understand why the show has to move on to reflect the sensibilities of a modern audience. But as you say the 5th Doctors regeneration story was fantastic! The classic era stories were very matter a fact and I think the epic mawkish finale was great once but it’s a bit repetitive. I suppose what I’m saying is the classic era was about the character, while the modern version is more about the actor. Also, I always felt regeneration as renewal as apposed to death. I mean in the classic era referred to it this way. “This body is wearing thin” or “Is this death? I might regenerate I don’t know”. Watching the show from the Pertwee to the beginning of Baker. I never thought that the Doctor died just refreshed.I mean that’s what regeneration actually means. It’s the modern era it’s become about death. As you say even when 9 was explaining he said he was cheating death with regeneration but he will look a lot different. Much like the explanation in the Planet of the Spiders. It probably doesn’t matter but it’s a personal bugbear of mine. A mid-season regeneration with a smile on the Doctors face because he/she knows they be back in flash of yellow light. Because that about the character not the actor.

  • @Squicx
    @Squicx Год назад +9

    Kinda sad the Timeless Child was created. It took the art of dying and change and made it something casual and immortal. The Doctor can just die and come back again and we wouldn't feel any emotional value. That's why The Timeless Child doesn't work. Yes it's the flawed and almost artificial nature of it feels cheap, but the emotional value Doctor Who gave off to the audience when it came to Regeneration. It was almost a character in itself. This was the power the Time Lords had mastered over billions of years only for it to be a stolen, cheap, con of what it used to be.
    AND IT STILL DOESN'T ANSWER THE QUESTIONS ON WHY THE UNTEMPERED SCHISM EXISTS PLUS HIS NEW REGENERATION CYCLE IN TIME OF THE DOCTOR!!! Russell gave us a small backstory into the origins of a Time Lord with the mystery still in hand. He modernised what the 70s era of the show introduced. Patrick Troughten showed us the Time Lords, Jon Pertwee gave us two hearts as well as "Contact" which Time Lords learned in the academy to physiologically link out to other Time Lords through telepathy. He almost gave us a fitting lore to fill the cavity of who the Doctor's people were without going into microscopic detail of who they were, what they did and how they came into place.
    THAT'S ALL WE NEEDED. RUSSELL GAVE US SMALL ANSWERS WHICH WERE JUST RIGHT!? Idk why we had to have a full retcon so early at 11 YEARS LATER. Chibnall devising the Timeless Child was cheap and essentially disorientates people who decided to latch onto the 'Revival Era' then check out the 'Classic Era' while applying the knowledge we received during Russell and Moffat's run to almost bridge the gap and make everything feel rounded out and smooth.
    People who began to watch on Jodie's era will wonder why the initial base-lore, which is commonly known even outside the Doctor Who community amongst people who aren't even interested, is different as there's one storyline following the original idea of a bloke BORN of Gallifrey, who joined the academy, looked into the Untempered Schism, got his 13 lives, graduated into being a Time Lord, started a family, stole a TARDIS with his granddaughter, and saw the universe.
    While on the other hand, The Timeless Child sets up all this nonsense of some random kid found under a portal, not even from Gallifrey, taken back to primitive Gallifrey, fell off a cliff, regenerated, was experimented and held almost captive with them going through multiple regenerations just to find this kids secret power, made ancient Gallifrey, joined some random division, got their memory wiped and basically left on the street with 13 regenerations like everyone else, THINKING that they went through the original storyline with the Untempered Schism and academy and what-not, when in reality they never experienced that in their life. The Doctor's life is now all a cheap lie.
    We had 15 Doctors prior to it abiding by the laws of 13 lives before Time of The Doctor and then we got ourselves an untold amount of Regenerations so that the question of "how many has he got" would be a mystery thus keeping the show going until a future show-runner brings up that the incarnation is once again the last incarnation before coming up with a solution to have another cycle.
    Either that or Moffat basically gave us a closing to the question of how many has he got now, telling us "not to worry" as it basically gave us an infinite regeneration cycle so that the show can keep going. The 2nd chapter for the next 50 years of the show after the 1st chapter ended within its 50th year while closing the 13 regenerations arc. Thankfully John Hurt was included to close this chapter giving us an equal 13 after 10 kept his face in Journey's End.
    To think we were SO CLOSE into having an original era. Series 12 genuinely hyped me with Spyfall: Part 1 and 2. It made me think that there was a multiverse. That 12s regeneration was so powerful, it reawakened the multi-dimensional circuits and shoved both the TARDIS and a newly regenerated 13th Doctor into Jo Martin Doctor's universe with Jo Martin being the 13th Doctor of HER universe while our 13 (Jodie) has to help her overcome all of this while trying to get back to her own universe before it's too late. Right off the back of my hand and yet it's a better era already. AND I have ways to fill in the plot holes along the way, solidifying this now dead theory.
    Chibnall tainted his reputation and there's not a day that goes by that I wish the Timeless Child never happened.

    @jamiemccreath3959 Год назад +16

    Personally I disagree with your point that a mid-story regeneration couldn't work. Like any regeneration, it could certainly be done poorly, but as long as it's built up and executed well (aka NOT suddenly getting shot by a random Dalek like Tennant) it seems like a great way to pass the torch, giving one Doctor the chance to make a character-defining act (like Davison) and the next a chance to show off their stuff (like Smith). In my opinion, the Eleventh Hour is the best introduction we've ever had to a new Doctor, and it was bombastic enough to be a finale anyways.

    I was hoping you would also comment on the *literal* "power of regeneration", i.e. the energy itself and the way various doctors have harnessed it as almost being a superpower to lean into the more fantasy aspects of the show. New Incarnations are almost always disoriented and distrusted by those around them, but frequently the unique powers given to them by the changeover have given then an edge.

      I like it, seeing as how inconsistent lots of Classic Who was, I like that all the New Who regenerations (including 11's 'reset', and 8's regeneration) have the same general look about them
      What criticisms do people tend to make about the regeneration energy visuals?

      It made sense for some time. Cuz when we saw 8th regeneration, he only glowed, without beams from his hands or head. But glow quite brightly. So it could be assumed that as the end of the cycle is approached, regeneration becomes more and more unstable or something like that. Warry started to beam, and with each time regeneration became more explosive, until 11th crashing daleks ships thing. And it was “half” regeneration to another cycle. The other half was quick and Doctor only glowed a little as in early times. Which prompted me to think about the dynamics of the cycle. And with this logic new Doctors should just glow for some time.
      But then 12th got beams again so idk.

    I'd argue that the 9th Doctor's and the 11th Doctor's regeneration didn't feel like endings because these weren't the final regenerations of the showrunners, the 10th and 12th Doctors had very similar personalities to their predecessors (because of the showrunners) and they didn't really feel like "a death" because it was the actor waving goodbye to the audience, not the entire cast and crew as would happen when the showrunner changes.

Also appreciated the short and sweet speech, not maudlin but delighting in the simplicity and beauty of a sunrise.

      I do sort of agree - a companion virtually killing an incarnation would be an insane climax to a doctor's run.
      But it'd need to be far less out of the blue than when Bill shot the doctor. Because again, that was in the middle of a story. It'd be so sudden, and not in a good way - no time to say goodbye to Capaldi or Twelve alike, Capaldi wouldn't have been the one to see the monk's plot to the end, et cetera.
      Something similar could be great, but Capaldi regenerating there and then? Would've been awful.
