I’m surprised I came to doctor who late and when I saw eleven go to twelve my first thought was how much potential it could have. I must say capaldi was one of my top doctors by the time I was finished
Capaldi was almost the opposite of Tennant, a harsh and gruff exterior with a kind heart, with Tennant having the agreeable and cheeky chappie exterior belying a steely and ruthless temperament
I'd say that of all modern Doctors, he is by far the one with the kindest heart. He is the one that actually held on to all pain and suffering and chose to do the opposite. Capaldi is my favorite Doctor (even if the writing was a bit shoddy at times)
Tennants Doctor tends to grandstand more. I felt Capaldi’s Doctor is the more dangerous one and had more emotional nuance. 12th is harder because he's the most vulnerable.
@@einezcrespo honestly and I might get murdered for saying this but up until 13 the 10th doctor was my least favourite doctor of modern who as 11 was the doctor that turned me into a doctor who fan, and 12 is honestly my favourite doctor, 9 and 10 are actually pretty even but I think I like 9 more as it's all we got from Christopher Eccclsion so his series feels more special, but honestly I love all the new doctors aside from 13 who is performed well, it's just what she is being asked to perform that's the problem
@mrellis2463 that is a close second. But this takes the cake for me, it just feels like Peter is talking to Jodies doctor in particular, telling her to laugh hard, run fast and be kind, before letting her in
In regards to the state DW has been and is in and that it won't get any better under RTD again, this line has an even bigger meaning to me now. I let it go. But can I? The show told me I can't because I'm "male presenting" and I "know nothing".
"You were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I." "I don't want to go." "I will always remember, when the Doctor was me." "Doctor, I let you go." Hot damn, you're right.
Jorrel Doe as far as i know capaldi completly wrote his own speech. or at least most of it, everyone else had writers do it except maybe the last words. David tennant doesn't like the take they used for " i dont want to go" for example.
I wish they'd knock it on the head. It's overly self-indulgent and getting cheesier each regeneration. Keep it short or sudden without the silly standing up in a star-pose too. Much prefer the classic era regenerations. Much less fuss.
I love this regeneration because he was tired and ready to pass on. But the TARDIS being the TARDIS put him in the same place the First Doctor chose to die so they would meet and inspire eachother to regenerate. Sometimes remembering that the TARDIS has so much more agency than we give her credit for is fun.
I also like to think of it as the one exception to the what he was talking about in the previous scene. He was talking about how their life was a battlefield and everyone else had fallen. No matter what happens the TARDIS has been the since the beginning and will continue until the end.
I was confused as to why the Bad Wolf theme played when I first watched this, but now I realise it’s because Murray Gold (the primary composer since Christopher Eccleston) was saying goodbye 😭
@@robot_pylesos The version with just the female vocals is both the Bad Wolf theme and the Ninth Doctor's theme, mainly because Rose and Bad Wolf were so integral to his character arc. And yeah, I miss Murray Gold :(
What if the hearts are referring to the multiple hearts of Gallifraians. The stars would look dofferent from their world. Maybe they're the only ones that can understand his name?
@@WingedSoda I saw an interpretation that his real actual name is "doctor who", the reason children can hear his name is because we the audience, kids will see his name everytime the show plays, in the stars on the intro
@@MikeJF85but at the end of Eleven’s life, saying his name would cause Gallifrey to come back, and “Doctor Who?” Was the question that was being beamed through the crack. Does that apply only if Eleven says it within earshot of that particular crack?
Honestly I hated him but I tried to like him he’s like so grumpy I mean srsly he is he was annoying I’m glad he’s not the doctor anymore but I honestly TRIED liking him
“Let’s get it right.” I love that, feels like a simple acknowledgment of the hiccups during his early days as 12, the coldness and mean spirited actions. Let’s do it right this time.
Thinking about it, why does the Doctor always regenerate in the _one_ room with the extremely vital and delicate equipment that powers the whole Tardis?
I’m so glad that they showed Capaldi’s ring falling off, because it was something that he always wears and refuses to take off because he loves his wife so much, so it was nice that we had a moment where we saw the *real* defining thing of his outfit fall away
It wasn‘t the 1st time a ring fell off the Doctor‘s finger after regenerating. The 1st time was in The Power of The Daleks (1966) after the Doctor regenerated in the TARDIS from an old man with hair long and white into a younger.man with dark hair and being funny in front of then-companions Ben Jackson & Polly.
Another fascinating thing: we know the 12th Doctor's ring is double-banded - Capaldi's ring, and the costume ring that fit over his ring. The ring that falls off Whittaker's hand is single-banded - the costume ring. It's kinda as if the other half of the ring, the half that is Capaldi's, regenerated away with Capaldi.
@@connor4435 oh yeah i think Smith, Capaldi, and Tennant all have fantastic monologues!!! I think it’s honestly just down to a matter of what style you prefer. but then i guess that would also be the same as saying who is your favourite doctor? idk. i always love seeing what the doctor is truly capable of when they’re angry. And Capaldi to me was definitely the moodiest of the 3. Of course Tennent and Smith had their moments of rage (especially Tennant lol) but i always got the vibe that Capaldi’s doctor was very much “i will destroy you if i want to” without even being angry.
I feel like Matt's Doctor also had some decent speeches but Capaldi's were always just written and delivered in a way that made them less.. corny? I'm not really sure what word would describe it best but they always just came out wonderful.
He was grumpy yet caring like One, he was witty and musical like Two, he dressed and acted like Three, he was playful and alien like Four, he was fearless and energetic like Five, he was as colorful as Six, he was strategic and confident as Seven, he was mad and over the top like Eight, he was dark and brilliant like Nine, he was passionate and commanding like Ten, he was silly and rambunctious like Eleven. Peter Capaldi is the Doctor.
JetBlackSquirrel if you consider how off the rails the 13th Doctor era has taken it, Capaldi was indeed where it was leading to. Matt Smith May have had the theoretical end before a supposed lives reboot, but capaldi as stated seemed like the culmination of them all. If we consider Hartnell the start and capaldi the end it’s a damn fine run.
@@GenericGooner That is EXACTLY what I do. Capaldi really was a culmination of all the Doctors. And when you think about it, unlike with many others Capaldi's era really tied up the whole show. Not a ton of plotlines were left. -The Master's arch of nearly 50 years was finally completed with them returning to being the Doctor's friend -All companions had their stories wrapped up. -The Doctor finally knew who he was and died fighting to save others even going back to the beginning by running into his first incarnation and convincing him to continue on. -Behind the scenes a majority of the staff left not just Gold, Capaldi, and Moffat. -And as stated Capaldi embodied part of all of his past. RIP Doctor Who 1963-2017. I love you and it's been a fun ride. In the words of Clara Oswald "Thank you for making me feel special"
@@GenericGooner Yep. For me Doctor Who pretty much ended with that scene. I don't know what that thing is that's been on in its place for the past couple of years.
It was especially heartbreaking to see Peter Capaldi, a lifelong Doctor Who fan, say goodbye to something he's wanted to be for so long. I'd argue he had one of the toughest "follow-up's" to an incredibly popular Doctor since the show's inception, and that nobody but him could have pulled off such a charismatically surly scientist you can't help but love
This is how I felt with David Tennant. He began acting in hopes of one day becoming the doctor, and he changed the series to be in a new direction. Capaldi really showed what the doctor could be from a different angle!
9th doctor: you were fantastic. And you know what? So was I. 10th doctor: I don't want to go 11th doctor: I will always remember when the doctor was me 12th doctor: NEVER EAT PEARS
i love the symbolism here. - the ring slipping off is symbolic of 12 being the last incarnation of the doctor that river sees, effectively ending their marriage. - the close-up of 13's eyes is symbolic of this being the first thing this incarnation ever sees. - the papers flying out of the tardis are symbolic of chibnall tossing out the script and almost getting the show cancelled from the atrocious writing in season 11.
The ring was actually Capaldi's wedding ring! Not the Doctor's. Capaldi requested to be able to wear it during shooting and it just made sense for it to be his and River's
Moffat really brought out all the stops for Capaldi. Episodes like Listen or Heaven Sent were experimental episodes that worked so perfectly because they relied on how great an actor Capaldi is. I loved that Matt Smith episodes, but I think Capaldi and Moffat were the best combination.
"One more lifetime won't kill anyone, except me" instantly makes me think of 10s speech to Wilfred about "some new man goes sauntering away, and I'm dead"
@@leathers4340 well, considering that there's an overwhelming majority of those Whovians with overtly conservative views I'd only just learned about as soon as Capaldi regenerated into Whittaker, can you honestly blame me?
Dr. Kira I don’t think politics has anything to do with it. It’s got nothing to do with Jodie or the doctor being female. I just think S11 was really poor, and so do a lot others. I don’t see anyone talking negatively about series 12 so far. People are sounding quite positive. Where have all us conservatives gone... haha 🤷♂️
@@glados_gaming4170 5 and 6 also regenerated in the TARDIS My small theory is that due to the time war, Time Lords basically changed the rules of the regeneration to weaponize it.
@@vcom741 my theory is that the longer you put off the regeneration the stronger the kickback is. 9 didn't put it off and the tardis was fine, 10s first didn't fight it and the tardis was fine, 10s second he put it off to see all the companions one last time, 11s is a special case because of the reasoning around it, and 12 tried to put it off indefinitely.
"Never be cruel, never be cowarldy, remember that hate is always foolish, and love is always wise, always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind, laugh hard, run fast, be kind" Yo this changed my whole damn life dude, im really greatful for what 12 said❤
Tbf Tennants Doctor had a much shorter life than any other incarnation. Capaldis Doctor was around for at least a couple hundred years, whereas Tennants didnt even make double digits, so didnt get nearly as long to enjoy that incarnation as any other. Kind of understandable.
Richard Malone Technically the version that escaped was only there for a few hours, since every time he was killed by the walking bedsheet was when he arrived by Ashildr’s weird transport thing. So while yes, the doctor spent those billions of years escaping, he also only spent a short amount of time.
Okay, I hear "oh brilliant" now that I've seen your comment. At first (plus a few times rewatching because it made no sense) I heard it as "I'm Merlin". Figured I had to be hearing it wrong, but couldn't work out what it might actually be.
I particularly love how colorful the TARDIS is during his farewell. Its very rare to see the main color/lighting scheme deviate this much, yet for his goodbye, we see blends of oranges, blues, purples, yellows, it really drives home the emotional roller coaster of his speech.
While I don't want Ncuti to leave for a while, I am very interested in how his tardis would look during his regeneration since it's the most customisable tardis the show has ever had with all the lights
No one liked Capaldi at first because he didn't have the light hearted personality the Doctor usually puts on to cover up his pain. This one was different in the way that he hides his pain behind a more guarded, eccentric, bossy personality. However, each Doctor had his flaw, Ten's was his rage, Eleven's was his running from his pain, Twelve's was his coldness. Thirteen follows the Mary Sue tradition of making female characters flawless. They haven't demonstrated that she has a vulnerable side, and therefore is not a relatable character
@Zel Zwrd it is very wrong. Here's why, doctor who is and always has been about flawed people trying their best to correct it. It would be a betrayal of the truth for the doctor to be anything else. S/he has always been "an idiot" who cannot help it. Especially in new who, s/he is the hybrid of the messiah and pariah complexes. In fact, it's pretty clear that the doctor is depressed, deeply, s/he is conflicted by their need to be a good man and their self image of evil. They cannot be perfect because they view themselves as so deeply broken and evil. From the tenths "time lord victorious" to the ninths "just this once" s/he is convinced that the universe won't allow them to be at peace. The twelfth doctor even going so far as to consider ending their lives. S/He cannot be perfect because s/he cannot view themselves with humility, to explain I'm going to use something i was told growing up, "humility is not putting yourself down, but accepting your place, high or low as it may be." They can't. They refuse to. The vanity is palpable throughout each life. They view themselves as one extreme or another. To have that all change with a new face feels like a "it was all a dream" cop out. It removes the strife and struggles the doctor is built on. It removes the tension and realism of the doctor. Much as i love thirteen, we dont don't get much in the way of their ancient and terrifying self loathing. Edit: spelling
That's the thing with dr who. Everybody hated the second doctor at first because he was far more comedic than hartnell. But he eventually became one of the most beloved incarnation of the doctor
@Zel Zwrd in a sense yes, the regeneration creates a new personality and certainly a new approach. However, core traits do not tend to change, and a core trait of the doctor is guilt. Take the master/missy for example, while each of the incarnations is different, the core traits remain, the progress we see in the missy is very realistic, it is slow and there are setbacks. I am asking for story telling, for the new doctor to show that she is the doctor, the oncoming storm, the predator of the daleks. I'm asking for her to be more than a female "superman", because it regresses the purpose of feminism, the show writes present her as no threat and only a helper, whereas she could be more complex, more dangerous. This would prove the point that women are equal and, like men, can be very dangerous If cornered. The doctor is, by nature, helpful yes, but also very intimidating.
i have to say 13's post-regeneration scene is maybe my favorite...peter's ring falling off and 9's theme playing and jodie's perfectly delivered "ah brilliant" its just so good. makes me so sad that jodie never got proper writing :'(
@@jaytender4949 Oh, I'm sorry? You're complaining that Ten was being sad about regenerating? Well, how would you feel if you knew that you were going to die, and your personality was going to be deleted and replaced with a totally different person than you? I think you'd be pretty fucking sad too.
i really disagree and think it was one of the worse ones, because its just a boring grey interior, looks more like a dungeon to me than a great time machine, matt's first interior and davids interior were both more colourful, and inviting
I really like that too. Capaldi's Doctor didn't want to go at first, but ultimately came to accept that it was time. He was able to reach a place emotionally that Ten couldn't at that point in his life, and it's great how the series shows that through the parallels in those final lines.
The difference is, that the 10th did not know, if there would be another regeneration as until then the Timelords only knew up to 11 possibilities. He was concerned about the one cancelled regeneration in Stolen Earth thanks to his Hand. That's the reason, why the 11th checked his body right after his generation for any missing parts AND later while living this very long time in Time of the Doctor as he was then afraid even more. This only changed after River Song "gifted" him her regeneration phases (however this might be possible .. but that's probably Timelord/TARDIS logic 😅) After reciving this gift the 11th wasn't that scared of a new regeneration anymore. It's Kind of a cheat by Moffat to not to be blamed that there can't be anymore Doctors after he took over the Story. I think that's btw probably the reason why they weren't afraid of a female Doctor, as they could point out, that the new regeneration circle was gifted to him by a woman. Therefore new possibilities.
zeldahime I don't either, but I agree, he did say it in a certain tone of voice. Although I would say it's more like a general thing than a catchphrase. I feel like he had that sort of happy/excited tone for a lot of what he said! ^^
I think this was the hardest to watch out of them all. Matt Smith may have been my first doctor but Capaldi was the one who I really connected with and really liked.
I was like you. When I was first decided to watch Doctor who, I really wanted to start with series 5 (Because of better Visual Effects), But then I started watching season 1 and it was the best decision. Russell T Davier era has some of the best episodes and story.
And then Jodie took over... she isn't particularly good, but to think she's been there almost as long as Tennant was now, there's nothing she's done as the Doctor memorable? Compare how she's done compared with 10th or 4th or most others and she's been quite forgetable
Eccleston and Capaldi will forever go down in my favorites. I don't consider myself a Doctor Who fan anymore and had to stop watching towards the latter's last season due to extraneous life reasons, but I'll admit this made me tear up.
Except Hate and Love are so misunderstood and misused these days that anyone can twist it. Love has been butchered to the point where it's meaningless. Most people think love is a positive emotion of affection, a feeling, when the Ancient Greeks understood that is only the weakest form of love. Putting others before yourself? Do good to others, even if they don't deserve it? Do good for others and not expecting anything in return? Putting someone's very safety and life before your own? Those things are love. True love is death to yourself and life to others. To the world the greatest forms of Love are Foolish, but I believe they are wise. The kind of love the world lifts up IS Foolish.
Sometimes I get the feeling that Moffat’s plan, deep down, was for Capaldi to close out the show in its current form. He always wanted him because of Peter’s versatility and charisma as an actor. 12’s journey from anger and bitterness to compassion and love resolves the arc started with 10’s “Time Lord Victorious” monologue. This soliloquy is the Doctor’s way of realizing that he’s spent so many ages trying to help others as a way of avoiding his own grief and guilt. This scene feels like a resolution for the reboot’s entire story. Alone in his last moments, the Doctor finally becomes a doctor to himself, and comes to peace with his past, present and future. The End....for now.
We first see Peter Capaldi as The Doctor through his eyes, and he leaves us the same way. While he wasn't my favorite, his presence was undeniable. Thank you Twelve, and good night.
jvstice56 i loved peter he was magnificently insane Here's how i see the doctors 9th is the veteran 10th is the hero 11th is the one who forgets 12th is the teacher
I absolutely hated him at first, and struggled to get through his first season, but by the end, he became MY Doctor, taking over what I thought was Tennant's spot. I'm still so sad to see him go, but I absolutely love Jodie as an actress, and wish her the best.
I like to interpret it as him talking to the fandom. Every time the doctor changes the comment section gets filled with hate for the new guy and proclamations the previous one was amazing and "their" doctor. He knew that would be the reaction of the fans.
@@hououinkyouma3864 I actually don't see nearly as much hate for Jodie as I do for Chibnall. Most people who disliked her era seem to agree that Jodie was never the problem it was the scripts she was handed.
@@Phantom-hy2ix but you can feel kidney pain in that area, and it's where he clutches when he first becomes the Doctor and says 'New Kidneys'. Or if you prefer - he's an alien and his kidneys are in the front of his body. All ten of them.
With all due respect, I believe the only reason they said that is to cover their newly woke asses against criticism from fans who HATE the new decisions. They've stolen the show for their identity politics purposes.
"Well, I suppose, one more lifetime wouldn't kill anyone. Well. Except me." I think this line may have worked better as Twelves last line especially as it fits into the darker characterisation of this incarnation of the Doctor and I felt his speech went on a little long especially when he got to the part about Children.
Wasn't a big fan of I don't want to go. It was out of character for the Doctor. I think the best was: The end is here, but the moment has been prepared for!
I absolutely love that he wore the red-lined coat that Clara left him all throughout the entire season 10 and until the very end! It got all faded and torn and raggedy (you can see this throughout his final season), but he kept wearing it because Clara "always loved that one" and left it for him with the chalkboard phrase, "Run, you clever boy." Just a really lovely touch to the season
Actually throughout most of the series he wears a black velvet frock coat with cornflower blue lining, then in one episode he wears the series 9 coat, one episode the black velvet with plum lining, two episodes red velvet, 2 episodes linen coat and 3 episodes blue velvet red lining
"I don't want to go" David Tennant "I will always remember when the Doctor was me" Matt Smith "Doctor, I let you go" Peter Capaldi All these lines feel personal, like they were chosen by the actors themselves
Believe it or not; Peter Capaldi *was* approached by Chris Chibnall to do one more season as the Doctor. However, Capaldi turned down the offer to focus on other projects. The Twelfth Doctor is easily my favorite incarnation from the modern era of the series. I would've happily watched seven-to-eight seasons featuring Peter Capaldi as the Doctor.
@@connord3291 yeah and that last season with him was so good! Bill and Nardole are also great companions. And let's not forget Missie's charisma... I would have loved to have more than one season with that trio.
@@connord3291 I'm thankful for that, I don't trust Capaldi's doctor in Chibnall's hands although he still would have done far better than Jodie (not saying she's a bad actress just that she wasn't right for the role)
“Oh there it is. Silly old universe. The more I save it, the more it needs saving. It’s a treadmill. Yes, Yes I know they’ll get it all wrong without me. Well I suppose one more lifetime won’t kill anyone. Well, except me. You wait a moment, Doctor. Let’s get it right. I’ve got a few things to say to you. Basic stuff first. Never be cruel, never be cowardly, and never ever ever eat pears. Remember, hate is always foolish and love is always wise. Always try to be nice but never fail to be kind, oh and you mustn’t tell anyone your name - no-one would understand it anyway.Except children, children can hear it, sometimes if their hearts are in the right place and the stars are too, children can hear your name - but nobody else, nobody else, ever. Love hard, run fast, be kind. Doctor, I let you go.”
@@ravenedgewurth Honestly, he's a decent writer. Broadchurch was a thing of beauty imo. He's just not cut out for being a showrunner for Doctor Who. He lacks that 'je ne sais quois' needed to carry a science fiction show like this. As it stands, I can't tell if he's actually a fan like he claims because the way he's written the show is pretty much how the fandom figured (over a decade ago, mind) a writer who wanted to "torch the franchise and run" would do it. I have high hopes that Thirteen can be redeemed in other media. It's just that... like the Sixth Doctor, her era is a very, VERY mixed bag and probably one of the lowest (consistent) points of the revived show so far. Though it's also well worth noting that Russell T. Davies was fairly controversial with his initial run (let us not forget "Love And Monsters", no matter how badly your PTSD begs you to).
God I’m going to miss peter, he was easily one of the best doctors, the writing failed him but boy when it was written well by god it was good. I mean heaven sent is one of the best piece of television I’ve seen. Thank you for being an amazing doctor
Koinoid Art hahahahahahahahahahahaha What you must’ve joined with Moffat because Davis had the best scripts Moffat had some goodies yes but he is not genius writer
Final regeneration lines: War: I do hope the ears will be a bit less conspicuous this time. 9: You were fantastic, absolutely fantastic...and you know what? So was I! 10: I don't want to go 11:I will not forget one line of this, not one day, I will always remember when the Doctor was me. 12: Laugh hard, run fast, be kind. Doctor, I let you go.
1: No, it’s far from being all over! 2. No! Stop! You’re making me giddy! No! No! 3. A tear, Sarah Jane? No, don’t cry. While there’s life there’s… 4. It’s the end but the moment has been prepared for. 5. It feels different this time… Adric? 6.Yes, I will regenerate. Our future’s in safe hands. 7.The master! He’s still out there! 8. Physician, heal thyself.
Capaldi’s, Smith’s, and Whittaker’s speeches were so impactful! It was weird how Capaldi regenerated so quickly when it was his turn from Smith, but upon his departure, it was a long and climactic transformation.
I think the reason he regenerated so fast was because 11 was given a new regeneration cycle and him regenerating into 12 so quickly was the start of the new cycle.
@@StrifeAiray Personally I saw it as he used his regeneration energy flowing out as a weapon on Trenzalore, and used the last to get his young face back. So when he finished his speech and completed the process into 12, he didnt have the energy for the huge regeneration spectacle we usually get
In Murray Gold's final piece of music for the show, he brings back the Doctor's theme from Series One. Still sad to see one of the most under appreciated geniuses from that era go.
@@lolers9524 the comment is talking about after 12 regenerates, the music when the doctor is their 13th incarnation, the track 'bad wolf' starts playing
@@TenuousSausage The official title of it is "The Doctor's Theme." You hear it for the first time when the 9th Doctor talks about how his planet is gone. There's no track called Bad Wolf as far as I know.
@@HanksClips. That is true and I can see how that might cause confusion. Plus with certain songs having fan names, like "Shepard's Boy" having the name "Breaking The Wall" by fans, more confusion is just added. I will admit, I did think that it was "Bad Wolf" for a bit, but I was listening to the music again on iTunes recently and I noticed that wasn't the case. And I'm happy that it was wrong, because, even if it isn't 13's official theme, it was at least a theme used for the Doctor.
10th actually thought he was going to die, 12th was accepting the fact that he had to regenerate that the universe still needed him, so he accepted the regeneration, he was afraid of changing and losing himself, because in some way he'll die
To me Capaldi’s Incarnation is The Doctor, something about his presence and his embodiment. It was so powerful and yet graceful at the same time, he’s definitely my favourite Doctor to date.
Yeah when I think of the doctor the first four that pop to my head are Hartnell (being the first and original), Tom Baker, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi. That isn't my favourite order but they just spring to my mind
Hate is always foolish Love is always wise From anybody else that would sound cringey. But from the mouth of one of the greatest TV actors of the generation, it sounds phenomenal.
No. Love. IS. Blind. Now you can take that in two ways. That it's a bad thing and leads you into mistakes or bad relationships. Maybe, maybe so. Or you can take the good path. It's not based on looks, or physical things which are temporary or fleeting. It just is. Love, true love goes through this things to the inside. That's why it's better to have loved than not to have loved at all. Ultimately, love is connection. Not just romantic love between two people but philial love between others and all beings. And that is nothing but wise. We are all connected and stronger together. Even loving the wrong person itself is wise. It hurts but is wise. For a) love is pure, you love someone truly, for all that they are, even their bad bits, else it's not pure. If they come up short that's on them, not you, love didn't do anything wrong, they did. b) even getting hurt teaches you lessons, what you do want/expect from someone, and about yourself. Patience, the ability to see another's faults and love them anyway. To take a chance, a leap of faith. Not just on who they are and can be for you and the rel today but for all they can be throughout your time together. Love is like a promise. It is never cruel or cowardly, it never gives up or gives in. True love is one of the most powerful and wise energies in the universe. It is a superpower. One of the few we can attain as we reach true enlightenment. Love for all things, beyond ego, beyond scorecards, beyond what they may do to us. Love anyway. Forgive them for they know not what they do. Love is hard for that reason. True love is unconditional. A hard but noble path. Otherwise we can turn to hate. Quicker, easier, to follow, muster, to sate our desires for action, for justification, to salve our wounds and ego. Which is foolish because it perpetuates cycles of the same. This does not mean we don't call out or challenge bad behaviour but we do it grounded in love offering choices. Like the Doctor. And we don't punish for reasons of self aggrandisement but out of love for those we must protect. This is what is meant in part by those lines. Many pithy maxims similarly are shorthand, just that, shorthand, for deeper truths. They are there to induce thinking and meditation not a blind parroting. Ultimately though hate cannot solve anything. Only love can. Look at the world today. Boil problems down and many of them distil to hate. What has been achieved by such? Not much.
At first I hated Capaldi for replacing Matt Smith.. But after three seasons, Capaldi became the "doctorest", most lovable Doctor and the hardest to let go. Doctor, who lived up to everything he asked for in his final speech, we let you go.
I just got "be kind" in Circular Gallifreyan tattooed on my arm. I showed this scene to my mom so she knew the significance and, even though I've seen it multiple times, I still got weepy. Thank you, Peter Capaldi. 💙💙
Totally. Nice throwback to the RTD era - when "I don't want to go" sparked silly tabloid speculation that RTD and Tennant were being forced out. Not the sort of thing that would bother Moffat but very much the sort of thing he would tease Russell about 6 years later. He also kinda gets to tease the "Moffat must go!" section of the fanbase by pretending that it's necessary to reassure everybody that he's going of his own free will. Along with the "I know they'll get it all wrong without me" he is poking a bit of fun at his own ego here.
Ricky H: he is talking to the next doctor; he was trying to resist to the regeneration, to stop it so that the next doctor would not come; Now he accepted it, he accepted that the next doctor come.
@Mr7Reality this made me realise something!! 12 starts out with the theme "a good man?", because he is wondering if he is. At this point in time he knows he's a good man, we're past that. The sheperd's boy I associate most strongly with heaven sent, where the doctor has to chip at the diamond mountain on and on and on. So I think Capaldi's final theme is: how long can the doctor keep going on and on and on? The doctor is one hell of a bird
I'm mad that she didn't remind us to Subscibe to the Official Doctor Who RUclips Channel. It would have made the regeneration scene way more emotional.
I think someone said that it’s not the first time the doctors ring fell off. Meaning that he was married before river. Not sure how true it is but still worth a mention..
@@glados_gaming4170 It is Capaldi's ring, his wedding ring as it happens. He wears it in every job he can. They made like a plate for it with a Raxacorocofallapatorian crystal and let him have it for his costume. This is all from Steven Moffat's monthly ask me anything in the DWM, I believe.
@@isaacbluestone1462 When the first Doctor regenerated, his ring that he loved fell off. And then the second Doctor never picked it up the way I remember.
I always cry when Matt Smith says goodbye as Eleven, but the most brilliant goodbye that stayed with me for years, and probably is not leaving ever, is this one. "Hate is always foolish and love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind." Everything I live by right there. Brilliantly written, and Capaldi was just bloody fantastic.
Claudia with a Chance of swedish meatballs I think the general consensus is not that the Twelfth Doctor himself was bad, I haven't heard anybody contest the fact that Peter Capaldi is a fitting actor for the role of the Doctor and that he does a great job at it, but rather the writing was mostly kind of "meh" or just plain bad for both of his seasons.
Elysium the Bard I think a lot of people did grow to like Capaldi over his run as the doctor. Sure, he was given a load of awful episodes, but the quality definitely grew each season, until the finale of season 10, which was doctor who at its greatest again
I really love how 13 is introduced here. Murray Gold's original theme for the doctor adds some great mystery while also establishing Whittaker as the Doctor. We get a nice build up from seeing only her feet, to seeing her in a reflection, to actually seeing her. Then she looks kinda confused but smiles and just says "brilliant". It's a great first line for a Doctor who might have some more anxiety than other Doctors, but has a cheery optimism on top of that. I just wish the rest of her era delivered on what was here, because I really love Jodie in this scene.
I completely agree. The transition from mourning Capaldi to the sheer joy of Jodie’s wide smile when she sees her reflection is a perfect balm to what we just went through, and it’s such a bummer that the writing didn’t live up to her potential.
I just realized that was Murray Gold's last contribution and goodbye to Doctor Who. He ended his run with his original theme from Series 1. Kinda sad when I thought about it.
The ring bit is a little reminiscent of the very first regeneration when the Second Doctor found that the ring the First Doctor wore didn't fit him anymore...
I do think they could stop the leaks pretty well. Film the Doctor on a green screen under a fake other name. Use NDAs to swear anyone involved to secrecy. Then have another fake who is supposedly shooting for Doctor Who in place to draw attention. (Maybe have them actually be a new companion, so that they don't feel slighted.) That said, I think they had to announce this one early, because they needed the initial backlash to have time to come and go a bit--even more so that usual.
I actually never did. I think he definitely didn't have the best episodes and story arcs, but there's a good amount of singular episodes that are really good.
Yeah, in my opinion, Peter Capaldi is the greatest actor to ever play the Doctor. He completely surpassed everyone that came before him, and I don't think anyone can top what he did on this show.
@@007robotchicken Capaldi, greatest actor? I'd contraire with Mr. Hartnell himself. The man still did regular Doctor Who filming on the weekly, delivering the same notch of performance at deteriorating health and mental state, with his mind simply worsening due to disease and such, even though he flubbed his lines rather often, yet he still managed to deliver. Now THAT is great acting.
Especially that the original ring isn’t there either. They could’ve done a prop one of his actual wedding ring, but it makes it look like Capaldi is gone.
@@kaylena4209 phrase "never be cruel or cowardly" were used for the first time by Moffat in 1999's spoof The Curse Of Fatal Death, so it's preceding Tennant a bit.
"Hate is always foolish, & love is always wise." "Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind." Wiser words have never been uttered... *salutes 12*
The "love is always wise" part could be reworded in a better way. Cause I'm pretty sure he'd be meaning like, the Greek 'Agape' love. Not our modern failure of a definition.
Honestly watching this again I feel like this moment is the closest 13 has ever gotten to being the Doctor. I don't know how to explain it but the stunned expression followed by the smile and her simply saying "brilliant" is to me just so doctery. To bad she's never like this ever again for the whole show. Hopefully RTD can make her actually the doctor again in the 60th special.
Unfortunately Chibnall wrote the episode coming this October which is apparently Jodie’s last. BBCs 60th anniversary is November 2023 and will either have Tennant, Gatwa or both as the leading Doctor, likely with no Whittaker as she’s just had a child. I feel so bad that Jodie got stuck with ol’ chibbers as she is so much better than the scripts she was given :( Let’s hope for her return in a future special!
So, I heard somewhere that the Doctor's final words are made by the actor, as a farewell to the show. 9th: "You were absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I." 10th: "I don't want to go." 11th: "I will never forget one line. I promise you that. I will always remember when the Doctor was me." 12th: "Laugh hard, run fast, be kind. Doctor, I let you go."
9th's line seems super relevant in hindsight, considering most people disliked him compared to future Doctors. "So was I" is almost a direct challenge.
@PUNMPKIN me too, nine isn't most people's favorite but it's hard to find someone who doesn't like him. he is generally just forgotten about which sucks, because personally he is my favorite doctor
@PUNMPKIN he was disliked since he was the first doctor who to be introduced as the new who universe meaning he started up again a franchise that had long been memorized as the war doctor being the last and he was the start of a new show so he was hated because of skepticism
Doctor: Yes I know, they'll get it all wrong without me. TARDIS: *Bleeps noises of persuasion to regenerate* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Doctor: *Regenerates and destroys TARDIS* TARDIS: Okay you didn't want to regenerate I get it, you didn't have to blow me up. You know what? The next button you press, this ships going down, DOWN!!!
"Laugh hard, run fast, be kind. Oh, and don't forget to subscribe to the official Doctor Who RUclips Channel." See it totally slides in there effortlessly
It would be funny if we saw Jodie do that as one of the first things she does after the fall to whatever planet she falls to... presuming she can even access RUclips, of course. ;)
How ironic. Not everybody was keen for The Doctor to be portrayed by an older actor but by the end of Capaldi's run, *nobody* wanted him to go.
How ironic. Peter Davison received similar skepticism when he started. "Can a 30 year old really play the Doctor?"
@@reubenmanzo2054 Pretty sure fans acted the same way again when 26 year old Matt Smith was confirmed as Tennant's replacement back in '09.
The Doctor and Bill were amazing. It really felt like Capaldi came into his own with her.
Yeah, and you can tell.
I’m surprised I came to doctor who late and when I saw eleven go to twelve my first thought was how much potential it could have. I must say capaldi was one of my top doctors by the time I was finished
A man who started out mean and rude, died, talking of love and kindness.
What a beautiful arc for a great doctor.
"What's the point of a room if you're not awake in it?!"
Something along those lines.
It took a while for this doctor to grow on me but now he's my all time favorite, well after the 4th.
@@Jesse_17 this is unrelated but I love your profile picture
@@hellothere7456 Thanks!
@@Jesse_17 you're welcome
Capaldi was almost the opposite of Tennant, a harsh and gruff exterior with a kind heart, with Tennant having the agreeable and cheeky chappie exterior belying a steely and ruthless temperament
And that's exactly why I like 12th Doctor more.
10th is great, I admit. But... I prefer darker-but-kinder Doctors.
I'd say that of all modern Doctors, he is by far the one with the kindest heart. He is the one that actually held on to all pain and suffering and chose to do the opposite. Capaldi is my favorite Doctor (even if the writing was a bit shoddy at times)
Tennants Doctor tends to grandstand more. I felt Capaldi’s Doctor is the more dangerous one and had more emotional nuance. 12th is harder because he's the most vulnerable.
@@einezcrespo honestly and I might get murdered for saying this but up until 13 the 10th doctor was my least favourite doctor of modern who as 11 was the doctor that turned me into a doctor who fan, and 12 is honestly my favourite doctor, 9 and 10 are actually pretty even but I think I like 9 more as it's all we got from Christopher Eccclsion so his series feels more special, but honestly I love all the new doctors aside from 13 who is performed well, it's just what she is being asked to perform that's the problem
12 has a kind heart? He literally had flash cards to help him be nice to people
"Doctor.....I let you go" will ALWAYS be my favourite final quote of any Doctor. Capaldi absolutely SLAYED this final scene
It feels like it's both Capaldi and Moffat speaking to the role and the show as their soliloquy for what Doctor Who is supposed to be, to them.
I quite liked Matt Smith’s ‘I’ll always remember when the doctor was me’
@mrellis2463 that is a close second. But this takes the cake for me, it just feels like Peter is talking to Jodies doctor in particular, telling her to laugh hard, run fast and be kind, before letting her in
It's that or physician heal thyself
In regards to the state DW has been and is in and that it won't get any better under RTD again, this line has an even bigger meaning to me now. I let it go. But can I? The show told me I can't because I'm "male presenting" and I "know nothing".
I love how each doctors regeneration speech is more the actor saying goodbye to the role in a way
"You were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I." "I don't want to go." "I will always remember, when the Doctor was me." "Doctor, I let you go."
Hot damn, you're right.
I wonder if they let the actors make their own speeches for their regeneration.
Jorrel Doe as far as i know capaldi completly wrote his own speech. or at least most of it, everyone else had writers do it except maybe the last words. David tennant doesn't like the take they used for " i dont want to go" for example.
Yeah, that's kinda like the whole point
I wish they'd knock it on the head. It's overly self-indulgent and getting cheesier each regeneration. Keep it short or sudden without the silly standing up in a star-pose too. Much prefer the classic era regenerations. Much less fuss.
Doctor: **regenerates**

Tardis: uhh. Here we go again
I love this regeneration because he was tired and ready to pass on.
But the TARDIS being the TARDIS put him in the same place the First Doctor chose to die so they would meet and inspire eachother to regenerate.
Sometimes remembering that the TARDIS has so much more agency than we give her credit for is fun.
I also like to think of it as the one exception to the what he was talking about in the previous scene. He was talking about how their life was a battlefield and everyone else had fallen. No matter what happens the TARDIS has been the since the beginning and will continue until the end.

I caught that too

As Doctor Who, yes. :P
I was confused as to why the Bad Wolf theme played when I first watched this, but now I realise it’s because Murray Gold (the primary composer since Christopher Eccleston) was saying goodbye 😭
Yeah but this is not the bad wolf theme, this is the very first doctor's theme in the revival. But obviously this is really a goodbye from Murray 😭
@@robot_pylesos The version with just the female vocals is both the Bad Wolf theme and the Ninth Doctor's theme, mainly because Rose and Bad Wolf were so integral to his character arc. And yeah, I miss Murray Gold :(

"If their hearts are in the right place... And the stars are too."
That is a hauntingly beautiful line
It's actually something Capaldi came up with himself
What if the hearts are referring to the multiple hearts of Gallifraians. The stars would look dofferent from their world. Maybe they're the only ones that can understand his name?
@@WingedSoda I saw an interpretation that his real actual name is "doctor who", the reason children can hear his name is because we the audience, kids will see his name everytime the show plays, in the stars on the intro
I never noticed, he (presumably deliberately) looks straight out the camera for a moment as he says it.
@@MikeJF85but at the end of Eleven’s life, saying his name would cause Gallifrey to come back, and “Doctor Who?” Was the question that was being beamed through the crack. Does that apply only if Eleven says it within earshot of that particular crack?
“Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind” perhaps the finest lesson the doctor ever taught
But I think the 13th doctor did not really do that.
Maybe thats what he learned in the end
You’re forgetting “And never ever eat pears”
"We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one" wasn't bad either!
@@ArtoriusGiangus True. Not much you can do with a bad script though.
Capaldi... tragically underrated, fantastic actor, fantastic doctor. He really shone in series 10.
Capaldi is the strongest doctor acting-wise. I loved him as the Doctor.

@@snowlake341 To each their own.
Yea
Heaven sent is one of my favourite ever episodes and that is purely Capaldi on his own.
I am convinced that in this speech, there is way more capaldi than The doctor. This is truly coming from the bottom of his heart
I would’ve loved a bit of Malcolm Tucker in it as well but hey ho lol
Noobtooby a lot of the regeneration speeches seem to be the real actors speaking
And I don't think that is a bad thing
He was a huge Doctor Who fan as a child, and I'm quite sure he still is, and this is his final scene as his Icon
thats what him and every actor who played the doctor so special, they made the role their own, the farewells are real because we all know its the end
“Let’s get it right.” I love that, feels like a simple acknowledgment of the hiccups during his early days as 12, the coldness and mean spirited actions. Let’s do it right this time.
lol do it right huh
It also sounded like a bit of a dig at how Tennant left. 12 didn't wanna pull another "I don't wanna go" on his future self
And then they proceeded to do it in the worst way possible for over 4 years
I also love it coming from capaldi who was a lifelong fan and who’s childhood dream was to be the doctor

Why does the Doctor never put the TARDIS in park when he's regenerating?
Thinking about it, why does the Doctor always regenerate in the _one_ room with the extremely vital and delicate equipment that powers the whole Tardis?
So they can prove to be a general nuisance to the next incarnation i suppose.
Jon Douglas shsgsggs just “haha good luck with that mate”
@@KieranBorovac maybe he wants a new tardis
Because where would the fun be in that
I’m so glad that they showed Capaldi’s ring falling off, because it was something that he always wears and refuses to take off because he loves his wife so much, so it was nice that we had a moment where we saw the *real* defining thing of his outfit fall away
It wasn‘t the 1st time a ring fell off the Doctor‘s finger after regenerating. The 1st time was in The Power of The Daleks (1966) after the Doctor regenerated in the TARDIS from an old man with hair long and white into a younger.man with dark hair and being funny in front of then-companions Ben Jackson & Polly.
Another fascinating thing: we know the 12th Doctor's ring is double-banded - Capaldi's ring, and the costume ring that fit over his ring. The ring that falls off Whittaker's hand is single-banded - the costume ring. It's kinda as if the other half of the ring, the half that is Capaldi's, regenerated away with Capaldi.
Sooo do I get it right; it is river's ring????

Peter Capaldi had the best doctor who speeches in my opinion. He truly was an amazing doctor.
Also the 13th doctor had the best introduction without fail.
Oh he 100% did, if anything I would say speeches were what he did best although sarcasm would be a close second
Personally I think Smith has them a bit better but Capaldi does them so well
@@connor4435 oh yeah i think Smith, Capaldi, and Tennant all have fantastic monologues!!! I think it’s honestly just down to a matter of what style you prefer. but then i guess that would also be the same as saying who is your favourite doctor? idk.
i always love seeing what the doctor is truly capable of when they’re angry. And
Capaldi to me was definitely the moodiest of the 3.
Of course Tennent and Smith had their moments of rage (especially Tennant lol) but i always got the vibe that Capaldi’s doctor was very much “i will destroy you if i want to” without even being angry.
I feel like Matt's Doctor also had some decent speeches but Capaldi's were always just written and delivered in a way that made them less.. corny? I'm not really sure what word would describe it best but they always just came out wonderful.
He was grumpy yet caring like One, he was witty and musical like Two, he dressed and acted like Three, he was playful and alien like Four, he was fearless and energetic like Five, he was as colorful as Six, he was strategic and confident as Seven, he was mad and over the top like Eight, he was dark and brilliant like Nine, he was passionate and commanding like Ten, he was silly and rambunctious like Eleven. Peter Capaldi is the Doctor.
I really love to the think he is what it was all leading up too. But sadly chibnall had to reset that
JetBlackSquirrel if you consider how off the rails the 13th Doctor era has taken it, Capaldi was indeed where it was leading to. Matt Smith May have had the theoretical end before a supposed lives reboot, but capaldi as stated seemed like the culmination of them all. If we consider Hartnell the start and capaldi the end it’s a damn fine run.
@@GenericGooner That is EXACTLY what I do. Capaldi really was a culmination of all the Doctors. And when you think about it, unlike with many others Capaldi's era really tied up the whole show. Not a ton of plotlines were left.
-The Master's arch of nearly 50 years was finally completed with them returning to being the Doctor's friend
-All companions had their stories wrapped up.
-The Doctor finally knew who he was and died fighting to save others even going back to the beginning by running into his first incarnation and convincing him to continue on.
-Behind the scenes a majority of the staff left not just Gold, Capaldi, and Moffat.
-And as stated Capaldi embodied part of all of his past.
RIP Doctor Who 1963-2017. I love you and it's been a fun ride. In the words of Clara Oswald "Thank you for making me feel special"
@@GenericGooner Yep. For me Doctor Who pretty much ended with that scene. I don't know what that thing is that's been on in its place for the past couple of years.
It should have ended here.
It was especially heartbreaking to see Peter Capaldi, a lifelong Doctor Who fan, say goodbye to something he's wanted to be for so long. I'd argue he had one of the toughest "follow-up's" to an incredibly popular Doctor since the show's inception, and that nobody but him could have pulled off such a charismatically surly scientist you can't help but love
lykkeej Totally agree, especially with the writing he had to deal with. He really shone through his last season.
He'll come back for a special at some point
Pretty sure he turned down a forth series
Yup he turned it down.
This is how I felt with David Tennant. He began acting in hopes of one day becoming the doctor, and he changed the series to be in a new direction. Capaldi really showed what the doctor could be from a different angle!
9th doctor: you were fantastic. And you know what? So was I.
10th doctor: I don't want to go
11th doctor: I will always remember when the doctor was me
12th doctor: NEVER EAT PEARS

The "Never eat pears" thingy started with the 10th doctor, though.
12th Doctor: DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE OFFICIAL DOCTOR WHO RUclips CHANNEL.
12th doctor: always be kind
i love the symbolism here.
- the ring slipping off is symbolic of 12 being the last incarnation of the doctor that river sees, effectively ending their marriage.
- the close-up of 13's eyes is symbolic of this being the first thing this incarnation ever sees.
- the papers flying out of the tardis are symbolic of chibnall tossing out the script and almost getting the show cancelled from the atrocious writing in season 11.
I love how that took a turn so fast
@@Squicx like the quality of the writing in season 11
Lmao I love this comment
W
The ring was actually Capaldi's wedding ring! Not the Doctor's. Capaldi requested to be able to wear it during shooting and it just made sense for it to be his and River's
When you realize this entire speech is Steven Moffat saying goodbye to The Doctor, it hits you that much harder.
And also Murray Gold ):
I think Capaldi had a large part in writing it too, which makes it more unbearable 😢
ChiliConQueso Moffat definitely predicted the future “Yes I know they’ll all get it wrong without me!”
”Doctor.... I let you go”
Moffat really brought out all the stops for Capaldi. Episodes like Listen or Heaven Sent were experimental episodes that worked so perfectly because they relied on how great an actor Capaldi is. I loved that Matt Smith episodes, but I think Capaldi and Moffat were the best combination.
"One more lifetime won't kill anyone, except me" instantly makes me think of 10s speech to Wilfred about "some new man goes sauntering away, and I'm dead"
"Except me." And except a bunch of whiny conservatives.

@@leathers4340 well, considering that there's an overwhelming majority of those Whovians with overtly conservative views I'd only just learned about as soon as Capaldi regenerated into Whittaker, can you honestly blame me?
Dr. Kira I don’t think politics has anything to do with it. It’s got nothing to do with Jodie or the doctor being female. I just think S11 was really poor, and so do a lot others.

Loved that Tennant’s line was “ I don’t want to go” and Capaldi’s last words were “ I let you go”. Feel like it really came full circle.
Maybe following those lines, Jodie's final line will be something like, "Doctor I welcome you".
Tbf Tennants Doctor had a much shorter life than any other incarnation. Capaldis Doctor was around for at least a couple hundred years, whereas Tennants didnt even make double digits, so didnt get nearly as long to enjoy that incarnation as any other. Kind of understandable.
Richard Malone Technically the version that escaped was only there for a few hours, since every time he was killed by the walking bedsheet was when he arrived by Ashildr’s weird transport thing. So while yes, the doctor spent those billions of years escaping, he also only spent a short amount of time.
EvilSnowVO you forgetting ecclestone? He had the shortest!
Actually, the 9th doctor had journies in between the time he left rose and came back for her. He lived out at least 100 years.

I particularly love how colorful the TARDIS is during his farewell. Its very rare to see the main color/lighting scheme deviate this much, yet for his goodbye, we see blends of oranges, blues, purples, yellows, it really drives home the emotional roller coaster of his speech.
While I don't want Ncuti to leave for a while, I am very interested in how his tardis would look during his regeneration since it's the most customisable tardis the show has ever had with all the lights
Doctor falls to the ground - holding his side, almost like his KIDNEYS have failed 😮
That's a throwback if ever I saw one...
I guess he really didn’t like the colour..
He never did like the colour.
"Kidneys are always the first to go" - 11 I think?
Omg, I never noticed that!
I remember when we didnt like Capaldi. Boy, we did not imagine to be this attached by the time he left. Come back........
No one liked Capaldi at first because he didn't have the light hearted personality the Doctor usually puts on to cover up his pain.
This one was different in the way that he hides his pain behind a more guarded, eccentric, bossy personality. However, each Doctor had his flaw, Ten's was his rage, Eleven's was his running from his pain, Twelve's was his coldness. Thirteen follows the Mary Sue tradition of making female characters flawless. They haven't demonstrated that she has a vulnerable side, and therefore is not a relatable character
I hate th 13th doctor. Capaldi is perfect
@Zel Zwrd it is very wrong. Here's why, doctor who is and always has been about flawed people trying their best to correct it.
It would be a betrayal of the truth for the doctor to be anything else. S/he has always been "an idiot" who cannot help it. Especially in new who, s/he is the hybrid of the messiah and pariah complexes.
In fact, it's pretty clear that the doctor is depressed, deeply, s/he is conflicted by their need to be a good man and their self image of evil. They cannot be perfect because they view themselves as so deeply broken and evil. From the tenths "time lord victorious" to the ninths "just this once" s/he is convinced that the universe won't allow them to be at peace. The twelfth doctor even going so far as to consider ending their lives.
S/He cannot be perfect because s/he cannot view themselves with humility, to explain I'm going to use something i was told growing up, "humility is not putting yourself down, but accepting your place, high or low as it may be."
They can't. They refuse to. The vanity is palpable throughout each life. They view themselves as one extreme or another. To have that all change with a new face feels like a "it was all a dream" cop out. It removes the strife and struggles the doctor is built on. It removes the tension and realism of the doctor.
Much as i love thirteen, we dont don't get much in the way of their ancient and terrifying self loathing.
Edit: spelling
That's the thing with dr who. Everybody hated the second doctor at first because he was far more comedic than hartnell. But he eventually became one of the most beloved incarnation of the doctor
@Zel Zwrd in a sense yes, the regeneration creates a new personality and certainly a new approach. However, core traits do not tend to change, and a core trait of the doctor is guilt. Take the master/missy for example, while each of the incarnations is different, the core traits remain, the progress we see in the missy is very realistic, it is slow and there are setbacks. I am asking for story telling, for the new doctor to show that she is the doctor, the oncoming storm, the predator of the daleks. I'm asking for her to be more than a female "superman", because it regresses the purpose of feminism, the show writes present her as no threat and only a helper, whereas she could be more complex, more dangerous. This would prove the point that women are equal and, like men, can be very dangerous If cornered. The doctor is, by nature, helpful yes, but also very intimidating.
You know the Doctor should really consider getting a room to regenerate instead of doing it in the control room.
Funnily enough, there is a room for exactly that. The Zero Room. Haven't seen it since Four turned into Five.
That's the best comment I read here xD
IIRC in the Zero Room the laws of physics didn't work as strongly, and you could even levitate? I'm not sure, it was a long time ago.
Tim Riggins ahh you’re a newcomer I see yeah the first comment explains there always was a room for such a situation.
The Dr. has actually ejected the zero room... what like 4 times? I don't think he has one right now and keeps forgetting to remake it.
i have to say 13's post-regeneration scene is maybe my favorite...peter's ring falling off and 9's theme playing and jodie's perfectly delivered "ah brilliant" its just so good. makes me so sad that jodie never got proper writing :'(
Even now. I get chills as the Bad Wolf theme plays... I like to joke that the theme was meant as a warning of the future episodes.

This and smiths was the best, and they were very similar. Also the last time we saw the best screwdriver was in time of the doctor
@@turtleisland1940 nooooooooooooooo im sure that was in the shitty davros episode in s 9
It’s a bit basic
i really disagree and think it was one of the worse ones, because its just a boring grey interior, looks more like a dungeon to me than a great time machine, matt's first interior and davids interior were both more colourful, and inviting
I think it's on a par with Eccleston's/Tennant's interior.
I love the contrast between ten and twelves regenerations. From "I dont wanna go" to "I let you go"
I really like that too. Capaldi's Doctor didn't want to go at first, but ultimately came to accept that it was time. He was able to reach a place emotionally that Ten couldn't at that point in his life, and it's great how the series shows that through the parallels in those final lines.
The difference is, that the 10th did not know, if there would be another regeneration as until then the Timelords only knew up to 11 possibilities. He was concerned about the one cancelled regeneration in Stolen Earth thanks to his Hand. That's the reason, why the 11th checked his body right after his generation for any missing parts AND later while living this very long time in Time of the Doctor as he was then afraid even more. This only changed after River Song "gifted" him her regeneration phases (however this might be possible .. but that's probably Timelord/TARDIS logic 😅)
After reciving this gift the 11th wasn't that scared of a new regeneration anymore.
It's Kind of a cheat by Moffat to not to be blamed that there can't be anymore Doctors after he took over the Story.
I think that's btw probably the reason why they weren't afraid of a female Doctor, as they could point out, that the new regeneration circle was gifted to him by a woman. Therefore new possibilities.

I think this was the hardest to watch out of them all. Matt Smith may have been my first doctor but Capaldi was the one who I really connected with and really liked.
I cried so hard lol
I was like you.
When I was first decided to watch Doctor who, I really wanted to start with series 5 (Because of better Visual Effects),
But then I started watching season 1 and it was the best decision.
Russell T Davier era has some of the best episodes and story.
And then Jodie took over... she isn't particularly good, but to think she's been there almost as long as Tennant was now, there's nothing she's done as the Doctor memorable? Compare how she's done compared with 10th or 4th or most others and she's been quite forgetable
Eccleston and Capaldi will forever go down in my favorites. I don't consider myself a Doctor Who fan anymore and had to stop watching towards the latter's last season due to extraneous life reasons, but I'll admit this made me tear up.

"Hate is always foolish and love is always wise" what a great quote.
ruclips.net/video/ihaB8AFOhZo/видео.html
Inspired by Bertrand Russell
Wish some "fans" would understand that
Except Hate and Love are so misunderstood and misused these days that anyone can twist it.
Love has been butchered to the point where it's meaningless. Most people think love is a positive emotion of affection, a feeling, when the Ancient Greeks understood that is only the weakest form of love.
Putting others before yourself? Do good to others, even if they don't deserve it? Do good for others and not expecting anything in return? Putting someone's very safety and life before your own?
Those things are love. True love is death to yourself and life to others. To the world the greatest forms of Love are Foolish, but I believe they are wise. The kind of love the world lifts up IS Foolish.

@@Dat_Jonx And a la the Second Doctor in POWER OF THE DALEKS....
Sometimes I get the feeling that Moffat’s plan, deep down, was for Capaldi to close out the show in its current form. He always wanted him because of Peter’s versatility and charisma as an actor. 12’s journey from anger and bitterness to compassion and love resolves the arc started with 10’s “Time Lord Victorious” monologue. This soliloquy is the Doctor’s way of realizing that he’s spent so many ages trying to help others as a way of avoiding his own grief and guilt. This scene feels like a resolution for the reboot’s entire story. Alone in his last moments, the Doctor finally becomes a doctor to himself, and comes to peace with his past, present and future. The End....for now.
It would've been a fitting end for the series.
Definitely would have worked better but Chibnall came along...
@@stantonvalberg9814 Wait, I thought Evil Dan killed the 12th Doctor.

Here's how i see the doctors
9th is the veteran
10th is the hero
11th is the one who forgets
12th is the teacher
Each Doctor is a sort of Characteristic i think. So you get it right :) And all of his Incarnations build the Main Personality. Am I Right? :)
Seraphatum yep
his speech on war in day of the doctor is one of the most insightful and poignant moments of Doctor Who there ever was
I absolutely hated him at first, and struggled to get through his first season, but by the end, he became MY Doctor, taking over what I thought was Tennant's spot.
I'm still so sad to see him go, but I absolutely love Jodie as an actress, and wish her the best.
“Yes I know they’ll get it all wrong without me!”
Moffat was a prophet
so true lmao

"Well, I suppose, one more lifetime wouldn't kill anyone. Well. Except me." I think this line may have worked better as Twelves last line especially as it fits into the darker characterisation of this incarnation of the Doctor and I felt his speech went on a little long especially when he got to the part about Children.
Elaina M Just a Who newbie then. :-)
Wasn't a big fan of I don't want to go. It was out of character for the Doctor. I think the best was: The end is here, but the moment has been prepared for!
I absolutely love that he wore the red-lined coat that Clara left him all throughout the entire season 10 and until the very end! It got all faded and torn and raggedy (you can see this throughout his final season), but he kept wearing it because Clara "always loved that one" and left it for him with the chalkboard phrase, "Run, you clever boy." Just a really lovely touch to the season
She was talking about the red velvet one this one is a navy blue with redlining it's meant to me or his first costume with the navy blue combre coat
Actually throughout most of the series he wears a black velvet frock coat with cornflower blue lining, then in one episode he wears the series 9 coat, one episode the black velvet with plum lining, two episodes red velvet, 2 episodes linen coat and 3 episodes blue velvet red lining
I like to think when he said "Doctor, I let you go", it was actually Capaldi talking to his character.
I believe it's been said that Capaldi wrote his entire closing speech himself.
"I don't want to go" David Tennant
"I will always remember when the Doctor was me" Matt Smith
"Doctor, I let you go" Peter Capaldi
All these lines feel personal, like they were chosen by the actors themselves
I was just about to say the same . He meant that . You can really tell . He was letting the character go x
@@Neefew There's also 9, "You were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I."

I could've easily done 10 more seasons with this legend
Believe it or not; Peter Capaldi *was* approached by Chris Chibnall to do one more season as the Doctor. However, Capaldi turned down the offer to focus on other projects. The Twelfth Doctor is easily my favorite incarnation from the modern era of the series. I would've happily watched seven-to-eight seasons featuring Peter Capaldi as the Doctor.

@@ravenedgewurth Honestly, he's a decent writer. Broadchurch was a thing of beauty imo. He's just not cut out for being a showrunner for Doctor Who. He lacks that 'je ne sais quois' needed to carry a science fiction show like this.
As it stands, I can't tell if he's actually a fan like he claims because the way he's written the show is pretty much how the fandom figured (over a decade ago, mind) a writer who wanted to "torch the franchise and run" would do it.
I have high hopes that Thirteen can be redeemed in other media. It's just that... like the Sixth Doctor, her era is a very, VERY mixed bag and probably one of the lowest (consistent) points of the revived show so far.
Though it's also well worth noting that Russell T. Davies was fairly controversial with his initial run (let us not forget "Love And Monsters", no matter how badly your PTSD begs you to).

Capaldi’s, Smith’s, and Whittaker’s speeches were so impactful! It was weird how Capaldi regenerated so quickly when it was his turn from Smith, but upon his departure, it was a long and climactic transformation.
I think the reason he regenerated so fast was because 11 was given a new regeneration cycle and him regenerating into 12 so quickly was the start of the new cycle.
@@StrifeAiray did Smith even explain it?
@@Jacob-iw6sg No, I'm just taking a guess. I'm not 100 percent sure why he regenerated so quickly compared to the other Doctors.
@@StrifeAiray true, all I remember is "this is just the reset" so maybe it was regenerate into his prime then new face, so u might be right

@@HanksClips. That is true and I can see how that might cause confusion. Plus with certain songs having fan names, like "Shepard's Boy" having the name "Breaking The Wall" by fans, more confusion is just added.
I will admit, I did think that it was "Bad Wolf" for a bit, but I was listening to the music again on iTunes recently and I noticed that wasn't the case. And I'm happy that it was wrong, because, even if it isn't 13's official theme, it was at least a theme used for the Doctor.
"I suppose one more lifetime won't kill anyone." Ryan's Grandma dies on the first day of the regeneration.

12: “ Doctor, I let you go”
10th actually thought he was going to die, 12th was accepting the fact that he had to regenerate that the universe still needed him, so he accepted the regeneration, he was afraid of changing and losing himself, because in some way he'll die
13: 'Please go'
To me Capaldi’s Incarnation is The Doctor, something about his presence and his embodiment. It was so powerful and yet graceful at the same time, he’s definitely my favourite Doctor to date.
Yeah when I think of the doctor the first four that pop to my head are Hartnell (being the first and original), Tom Baker, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi. That isn't my favourite order but they just spring to my mind

Hate is always foolish
Love is always wise
From anybody else that would sound cringey. But from the mouth of one of the greatest TV actors of the generation, it sounds phenomenal.
"Love is always wise."
*HAAAAAAAAA!*
That's a funny.
Orange Swirl what?
No. Love. IS. Blind. Now you can take that in two ways. That it's a bad thing and leads you into mistakes or bad relationships. Maybe, maybe so. Or you can take the good path. It's not based on looks, or physical things which are temporary or fleeting. It just is. Love, true love goes through this things to the inside. That's why it's better to have loved than not to have loved at all. Ultimately, love is connection. Not just romantic love between two people but philial love between others and all beings. And that is nothing but wise. We are all connected and stronger together. Even loving the wrong person itself is wise. It hurts but is wise. For a) love is pure, you love someone truly, for all that they are, even their bad bits, else it's not pure. If they come up short that's on them, not you, love didn't do anything wrong, they did. b) even getting hurt teaches you lessons, what you do want/expect from someone, and about yourself. Patience, the ability to see another's faults and love them anyway. To take a chance, a leap of faith. Not just on who they are and can be for you and the rel today but for all they can be throughout your time together. Love is like a promise. It is never cruel or cowardly, it never gives up or gives in. True love is one of the most powerful and wise energies in the universe. It is a superpower. One of the few we can attain as we reach true enlightenment. Love for all things, beyond ego, beyond scorecards, beyond what they may do to us. Love anyway. Forgive them for they know not what they do. Love is hard for that reason. True love is unconditional. A hard but noble path. Otherwise we can turn to hate. Quicker, easier, to follow, muster, to sate our desires for action, for justification, to salve our wounds and ego. Which is foolish because it perpetuates cycles of the same. This does not mean we don't call out or challenge bad behaviour but we do it grounded in love offering choices. Like the Doctor. And we don't punish for reasons of self aggrandisement but out of love for those we must protect. This is what is meant in part by those lines. Many pithy maxims similarly are shorthand, just that, shorthand, for deeper truths. They are there to induce thinking and meditation not a blind parroting. Ultimately though hate cannot solve anything. Only love can. Look at the world today. Boil problems down and many of them distil to hate. What has been achieved by such? Not much.
@@TheWPhilosopher Well,true
FRÆSER You know it’s a quote from Bertrand Russell right? NOT Doctor Who?
At first I hated Capaldi for replacing Matt Smith.. But after three seasons, Capaldi became the "doctorest", most lovable Doctor and the hardest to let go.
Doctor, who lived up to everything he asked for in his final speech, we let you go.
I hated matt smith for replacing david tenant, happens to everybody. but hating Jodie is ok, don't worry about her shes shit
I had a few years long temper tantrum when Tennant regenerated. I did love Capaldi though.
Standard thing to happen. People hate it when the doctor regenerates but then grows to love the new one. And the cycle goes on and on.
I don't wanna go
I’m sure Jodie will be the same way.
I just got "be kind" in Circular Gallifreyan tattooed on my arm. I showed this scene to my mom so she knew the significance and, even though I've seen it multiple times, I still got weepy. Thank you, Peter Capaldi. 💙💙
How does one know the language of Gallifrey?
"Doctor...I let you go."
They were Steven Moffat's words as much as the Doctor's.
Totally. Nice throwback to the RTD era - when "I don't want to go" sparked silly tabloid speculation that RTD and Tennant were being forced out. Not the sort of thing that would bother Moffat but very much the sort of thing he would tease Russell about 6 years later. He also kinda gets to tease the "Moffat must go!" section of the fanbase by pretending that it's necessary to reassure everybody that he's going of his own free will. Along with the "I know they'll get it all wrong without me" he is poking a bit of fun at his own ego here.
The whole scene was Moffat's words.
Has Moffat all over it 😂
Yeah, you know what I mean though lol.
That could have been Moffat himself saying that line, not the Doctor.
"Doctor.....I let you go." I cried.
I think this line is for peter and steven

I cried with the reganiration of David Tennant, this one in without any emotion for my, I didn’t like peter anyway, he was way to smooth.
Ricky H: he is talking to the next doctor; he was trying to resist to the regeneration, to stop it so that the next doctor would not come; Now he accepted it, he accepted that the next doctor come.
Man choosing The Shepards Boy for Capaldis final score was the best idea
Facts
How many seconds in eternity is such an underrated speech
I'm mixed on it because it's so brilliant a score that I connect it too much to the moment of its origin
@Mr7Reality this made me realise something!! 12 starts out with the theme "a good man?", because he is wondering if he is. At this point in time he knows he's a good man, we're past that. The sheperd's boy I associate most strongly with heaven sent, where the doctor has to chip at the diamond mountain on and on and on. So I think Capaldi's final theme is: how long can the doctor keep going on and on and on?
The doctor is one hell of a bird
@Mr7Reality
Bravissimo.

It's so chinball couldn't use the character
I think someone said that it’s not the first time the doctors ring fell off. Meaning that he was married before river.
Not sure how true it is but still worth a mention..
also it is possible that it is capaldi's ring because matt never had the ring
@@glados_gaming4170 It is Capaldi's ring, his wedding ring as it happens. He wears it in every job he can. They made like a plate for it with a Raxacorocofallapatorian crystal and let him have it for his costume. This is all from Steven Moffat's monthly ask me anything in the DWM, I believe.
@@isaacbluestone1462 When the first Doctor regenerated, his ring that he loved fell off. And then the second Doctor never picked it up the way I remember.
And she's STILL not ginger
Alex Chung Dang, But I like her as a blonde.
Right?!
Doctor Donna!!
Ikr
Hopefully the Doctor Who series keeps getting that right.
I always cry when Matt Smith says goodbye as Eleven, but the most brilliant goodbye that stayed with me for years, and probably is not leaving ever, is this one. "Hate is always foolish and love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind." Everything I live by right there. Brilliantly written, and Capaldi was just bloody fantastic.
RIP them big bushy eye brows, they're in a better place now
even after an edit you still didnt get it right (they're)
madmeddik there we go
HAHA!!!
I'll miss them attack eyebrows
LOL
"One more life won't kill anyone...except me." And the tears started flowing right THERE.
Brian Douglas Ahern Could the Beeb be thinking about... the ENDGAME???
*(cue X-Files music)*
Brian Douglas Ahern this was a really emotional farewell to a Doctor Who many people didn’t like

I think the general consensus is not that the Twelfth Doctor himself was bad, I haven't heard anybody contest the fact that Peter Capaldi is a fitting actor for the role of the Doctor and that he does a great job at it, but rather the writing was mostly kind of "meh" or just plain bad for both of his seasons.
Elysium the Bard I think a lot of people did grow to like Capaldi over his run as the doctor. Sure, he was given a load of awful episodes, but the quality definitely grew each season, until the finale of season 10, which was doctor who at its greatest again
Well she can't have a start worse than Matt, he set the TARDIS ablaze.
_Blows up TARDIS _*_and_*_ falls out of it_
Welp.
(Regenerates.)
Well, finally a regeneration can drive the TARDIS.
(Pushes one button...
and blows up the entire thing.)
Never mind.
Well he never fell out of it he crashed with it
_tree_ pig_ I think he was talking about Jodie, not Matt. And technically, Matt DID fall out of the TARDIS, just not all the way.
XD
Pretty much every Doctor touches the TARDIS inappropriately when they appear in it.
I really love how 13 is introduced here. Murray Gold's original theme for the doctor adds some great mystery while also establishing Whittaker as the Doctor. We get a nice build up from seeing only her feet, to seeing her in a reflection, to actually seeing her. Then she looks kinda confused but smiles and just says "brilliant". It's a great first line for a Doctor who might have some more anxiety than other Doctors, but has a cheery optimism on top of that. I just wish the rest of her era delivered on what was here, because I really love Jodie in this scene.
I completely agree. The transition from mourning Capaldi to the sheer joy of Jodie’s wide smile when she sees her reflection is a perfect balm to what we just went through, and it’s such a bummer that the writing didn’t live up to her potential.
10's theme appeared there for a little while and that made me so happy
I just realized that was Murray Gold's last contribution and goodbye to Doctor Who. He ended his run with his original theme from Series 1. Kinda sad when I thought about it.
i just ache that jodie never got to shine in a brilliant storyline like her predecessors thanks to chib. she’s so talented
After he regenerates you can hear the 9th doctor’s theme.
It hit me in the feels
5mithy it was actually 9th Doctor’s theme..
kyles Rudolph Ilardenovich Thanks. I’ll change it,
Homersimpsonfan 1234 I don’t know anymore
could search up both themes and find out which it was
It's just the main theme of the doctor.
she's been here one minute and already lost her wedding ring and her tardis... river is so going to kill her
or kiss her. or more likely both
thirteenstardis I don't believe in Chibnail
it was a joke.....chill
The ring bit is a little reminiscent of the very first regeneration when the Second Doctor found that the ring the First Doctor wore didn't fit him anymore...
Elli Clarice Yep
“One more lifetime won’t kill anyone”
Boy do I got a story for you
TOMINO 12
Sorry, I didn't quite catch your meaning.
😂😂😂😂 well except the entire series
Well he did say "Doctor I let you go!"
@@shakeela6128 I think they meant that the show is dying since Jodie
TOMINO 12 wrong, it killed everyone lol
"They'll get it all wrong without me" God if only I had known what he meant at the time.
They should never announce the new Doctor, I think. Imagine how much of a shock this would have been without forewarning. It would have been great.
they announce it or else there will be leaks anyways, it happens so often now to the point that the bbc puts out fake leaks.
I agree. I was so disappointed they revealed it.
it would be impossible to do now,
I do think they could stop the leaks pretty well. Film the Doctor on a green screen under a fake other name. Use NDAs to swear anyone involved to secrecy. Then have another fake who is supposedly shooting for Doctor Who in place to draw attention. (Maybe have them actually be a new companion, so that they don't feel slighted.)
That said, I think they had to announce this one early, because they needed the initial backlash to have time to come and go a bit--even more so that usual.
How else would they have virtual signnaled
Remember when we hated Peter Capaldi for replacing Matt Smith?
Me neither.
I actually never did. I think he definitely didn't have the best episodes and story arcs, but there's a good amount of singular episodes that are really good.
Yeah, in my opinion, Peter Capaldi is the greatest actor to ever play the Doctor. He completely surpassed everyone that came before him, and I don't think anyone can top what he did on this show.
Yup. Lasted about ten minutes into the first episode. Second favourite Doctor after matt now. He was brilliant
@@007robotchicken Capaldi, greatest actor? I'd contraire with Mr. Hartnell himself. The man still did regular Doctor Who filming on the weekly, delivering the same notch of performance at deteriorating health and mental state, with his mind simply worsening due to disease and such, even though he flubbed his lines rather often, yet he still managed to deliver. Now THAT is great acting.
@@rockysandman5489 Hartnell is my second favorite, so if you want to declare him the best actor, I'm cool with that. I personally disagree, though.
Peter... and to think so many people were against him at first.
Right! he will be missed!
I hope it will be the same thing with the new doctor :)
He was my favourite Dr from the moment I saw his eyebrows in the 50th!
I liked Capaldi as the Doctor, it was the writers I was against. So much wasted potential with bad stories.
Yeah, I was one of those. I was wrong though.
"Yes, yes, I know. They'll get it all wrong without me." couldn't be more true right now.
I understand the narrative move, but the ring falling off the Doctor's finger hurts me so much every time.
we had the same with 1st to 2nd in Power of the Daleks, that hurt too
Ugh it makes me so sad
Especially that the original ring isn’t there either. They could’ve done a prop one of his actual wedding ring, but it makes it look like Capaldi is gone.
12th: Never be cowardly.
13th: I'm socially awkward so I'm gonna stand over there.
Hey, since when does the Doctor take advice from anyone?
I am expecting them to eat a pear next just to complete the clear 180 they did on this speech.
@@MithrilRoshi I mean let's be real, the writers have been recycling his "lessons" since Tennant.
I grow Columbus just strawberry ocean
@@kaylena4209 phrase "never be cruel or cowardly" were used for the first time by Moffat in 1999's spoof The Curse Of Fatal Death, so it's preceding Tennant a bit.
"Hate is always foolish, & love is always wise." "Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind."
Wiser words have never been uttered... *salutes 12*
The "love is always wise" part could be reworded in a better way. Cause I'm pretty sure he'd be meaning like, the Greek 'Agape' love. Not our modern failure of a definition.
@@bluejacket4429 i mean the meaning of love still wise but its really fucked up those years
Inspired from the wise Bertrand Russell
Quote by Bertrand Russell
yes, remember that next time you see someone shitting on Jodie
Honestly watching this again I feel like this moment is the closest 13 has ever gotten to being the Doctor. I don't know how to explain it but the stunned expression followed by the smile and her simply saying "brilliant" is to me just so doctery. To bad she's never like this ever again for the whole show. Hopefully RTD can make her actually the doctor again in the 60th special.
I want 13 to get an Andrew Garfield style comeback. Even though I did enjoy those movies more than 13s seasons.
Unfortunately Chibnall wrote the episode coming this October which is apparently Jodie’s last. BBCs 60th anniversary is November 2023 and will either have Tennant, Gatwa or both as the leading Doctor, likely with no Whittaker as she’s just had a child. I feel so bad that Jodie got stuck with ol’ chibbers as she is so much better than the scripts she was given :( Let’s hope for her return in a future special!
So, I heard somewhere that the Doctor's final words are made by the actor, as a farewell to the show.
9th: "You were absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I."
10th: "I don't want to go."
11th: "I will never forget one line. I promise you that. I will always remember when the Doctor was me."
12th: "Laugh hard, run fast, be kind. Doctor, I let you go."
Correction:
11th: "I will not forget one line of this. Not one day. I will always remember when the Doctor was me."
9th's line seems super relevant in hindsight, considering most people disliked him compared to future Doctors. "So was I" is almost a direct challenge.
@@t.estable3856 I never thought of it that way but you're definitely right.
Loved the 9th doctor by the way. Can't wait to see more!!
@PUNMPKIN me too, nine isn't most people's favorite but it's hard to find someone who doesn't like him. he is generally just forgotten about which sucks, because personally he is my favorite doctor
@PUNMPKIN he was disliked since he was the first doctor who to be introduced as the new who universe meaning he started up again a franchise that had long been memorized as the war doctor being the last and he was the start of a new show so he was hated because of skepticism
Doctor: Yes I know, they'll get it all wrong without me.
TARDIS: *Bleeps noises of persuasion to regenerate*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doctor: *Regenerates and destroys TARDIS*
TARDIS: Okay you didn't want to regenerate I get it, you didn't have to blow me up. You know what? The next button you press, this ships going down, DOWN!!!
lmfao
Lmao
I think it was more
"You didn't want to regenerate. Fine. But now look at me, all broken... again. You know what. Get out
Wobby Am I the only one that seen that the TARDIS “shook” her out like “Not today bitch!”
"Laugh hard, run fast, be kind. Oh, and don't forget to subscribe to the official Doctor Who RUclips Channel." See it totally slides in there effortlessly
CFYeomans 😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😭😭😭👏👏👏👏
It *does* fit in there perfectly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Imagine the Doctor subscribing to the official Doctor Who RUclips Channel, though. ;)
+Youtubing Jaguar that is something the Moffat-era Doctor would do
It would be funny if we saw Jodie do that as one of the first things she does after the fall to whatever planet she falls to... presuming she can even access RUclips, of course. ;)
