Dr. Who - Change | REACTION 

And yes, they keep their memory. Sometimes it takes a while to get them on shape like say they get kinda sick for a day, but they eventually become someone different everytime the regeneration happens with all the memories but a different personality.

When you said each Doctor is the same person, yes but also no. There is an underlying core of the character which remains consistent, but each regeneration puts the various aspects of their personality together differently, usually in a way that obviously contrasts with the incarnation previous. Where One was a crochety old man on the outside gradually discovering a childlike wonder of exploration, his successor was a carefree and not-remotely self-important hobo. Where Three was a suave, serious gentleman, his successor was a Bohemian with a fondness for candy and ridiculous scarves. Where Five was... I guess the best word for him is just "nice," his successor came out a raving, dangerous lunatic. And so on and so forth.

Every timelord has invisible key parts and the doctor has kindness and goodness so much so that he's committed multiple genocides because those species could've been a threat or were a threat to peace

That last one was a quicker regeneration as he'd been older (age makeup) earlier in the episode so had been holding back. It's still only about 5 Mississippi though which is still quite quick.

It's the same person, but there's a disconnect between incarnations. The brain cells are shaken up and not everything runs smoothly. Fifth Doctor - as played by Peter Davison: (Looking in a mirror) "That's the trouble with regeneration. You never know what you're going to get". Fourth: - Tom Baker: " . . mind you, I think the nose is a definite improvement!" Third: - Jon Pertwee: "Oh NO! (Looks forlornly into a mirror) . . mmmmm . . Oh, I dunno though . . Rather distinctive actually!"

I get a little disappointed when someone reacts to Doctor Who out of obligation. This is a wonderful show that should be enjoyed without spoilers.

It's not that fast, the regeneration is slightly different every time (possibly depending on what caused the need for change, ie what is killing the doctor... the most explosive one for example happened when one of the doctors was forced to ingest a massive radiation burst to save someone.... this may be why it was such an explosive change... the original concept (still the concept I belive) was that each doctor was a different facet of the same personality... so some of the doctors have been a bit nasty, some clown around, some romantic, some like a james bond all action hero... all the different emotions and traits we all have in varying amounts.... underneath it all however is the same person with the same ideals so he remains a compassionate hero.. by the way, he does remember all of his past selves to a large extent although sometimes right after the change he is unsure for a while...

Same person, same memories but it is a bit more complicated. The Doctor's personality changes, they aren't all just imitating the actors that came before it, they do something completely new. There are certain traits that carry across, like the very core of the character, but the more superfluous stuff gets switched up.

Basically he retaines main memories and important stuff but his face changes and his personality changes but if a timelord regenerates and has extreme personality jumps then the timelord could be nice on one life and evil in annother like the master as a child he was the doctors best freind then he went mad regenerated in his mental state and became evil then recently turned good and in the end he killed himself but still survived because paradox

Basically,something really terrible befalls him and his body can no longer function. Death - to you and me; but a Timelord can live on (NOT an unlimited amount of times) by transforming into a new body. The concept of regeneration was devised when the actor playing the First Doctor became too ill to carry on working,and the producers needed to come up with a way to have the hit show continue!

About the doctor regenerating quickly it was a different case from Matt Smith to Peter Capaldi since Matt Smith's doctor was his last regeneration and he got a new regeneration cycle so imagine Peter Capaldi as the 1st reboot of the doctor that's why it happened quickly as to why it wasn't as destructive as others Matt Smith's doctor used a good chunk of energy to fight daleks

Our you ever watching a full episode , I am sure fans could recommend the top ones

I think it depends on the Doctor’s mindset. The tenth doctor didn’t want to go, so he practically blew up the tardis, the 11th doctor had accepted it and was ready to go easy transition.

I just subscribed. I enjoy your reactions because you don’t stop the video or talk the whole time.

Sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow. Regeneration is a lot. And to answer your question, one Doctor accepted his fate easily while the other one was totally sad for having to change.

Regeneration isn't instant he already released his regeneration energy prior to that scene so when he did change it was so quick normally it's a long regeneration

Is this guy ever going to watch the series? I somehow doubt it. Oh well, never mind.

6:40 No, this is a special case, usually it’s a longer process

You tube has updated effects versions of the older doctors changeovers

6:00 he had vanity issues

6:40 I call that the sneeze regeneration. They're normally slower than that but the Doctor had just used a lot of regeneration energy in the previous scene as a sort of a weapon. This was just like the final burst I guess. It definitely wasn't remembered fondly as it ruined the whole pacing of the scene but oh well.

Regeneration is caused by death, fatal injuries, radiation, old age all sorts of affects. The Doctor is the same man , new face with different personality The Doctor can only regenerate 12 times once he reaches his 13th life that's it that's the end of him unless he can get a new regeneration cycle a new set of 13. In Classic Who The Doctor collapses to the floor and regenerates with different effects which I like because I find it artistic in New Who The Doctor stands up and glows which was fine for the first time but I kind of wish they get back to him lying on the floor and do a different special effect because that makes it look more that he's actually dying. The Doctor is currently played by actress Jodie Whittaker since 2017 she's the 13th and first female Doctor and set to depart next year.

I highly recommend this particular doctor who tribute: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JkRiXXkPzy4.html It’s 10 minutes long but it’s pretty comprehensive in showing off each doctor

I could tell you the reason each doctor changes but you might not want to know? Or do you?

5:54 wth-

Regeneration has changed in the revived series. Not only with the visual FX but even with the philosophy behind it. When it was originally conceived, it was a novel device to replace an actor and it was thought of as a renewal. It’s really only recently it’s seen as a death. The modern show is more emotional and mawkish and they do play with lore a little. In the classic series regeneration was treated as matter of fact, as a viewer you were sad to see your Doctor change but in the narrative the Doctor changes without too much fuss. Now it’s all tears and goodbyes and retrospectively looking back his/ hers past in that body. Also The Doctor is always the same person but physically different with a new persona. My personal bug bear with the new series is that it sometimes goes a bit Meta where they confuse the actor and the character. To me the Doctor is an alien entity who has lived for 2000 years and his ability is to rearrange his DNA to look different is how he/she lives so long. His physical appearance is basically like wearing a coat growing attached it and when it gets worn out or damaged he has to change it. As viewers we anthropomorphize the Doctor because he looks like us.

It’s not that bad normally, this is because the doctor has given another 13 lives… You have to watch it from at least the beginning of new Who with Ecclestone

I wanna know what the music is. I wanna listen to it separate.

Regeneration... It's a lottery...

React to Hope Mikealson Hey Mama or hope mikealson the tribrid

Then jodie came along LOL

Well, this really ruins the biggest moments of the show.

Maybe watch the series rather spoil yourself?
