Really good. I'm glad you added Rory like they SHOULD have. The only thing it needs is Jodie standing up, taking out a mirror and remarking "Still not ginger."
I didn't put in the classic ones because it would've been too cluttered; if you look at Tom Baker and Peter Davison's regenerations, they didn't include companions from further back like Jamie or Victoria or Susan.
Then that would have been the most depressing regeneration ever, then his last lines would have been "pity, no stars, I hoped there'd be stars..." personally that stings more than how hartnell regenerated, 12 is the greatest yet the saddest era of doctor who, in the end everyone who was close to him were all dead by the end, Clara accepted her death while the Doctor couldn't even remember her for some time, Bill was turned to a cyberman without any hope of returning, nardole is left to fend off, but he can't for long, the cybermen will just keep evolving and moving until there is no where to run. He has no one left, and that hurts...
TysterTG yeah, but you know how BBC are these days. I can't speak for the original series since I wasn't, you know, alive (I was born in the time of the fifth, shortly before The Visitation aired) but with this one it seems like they announce and air the identity of the new doctor months before the actual show/regeneration airs, so we already know the face if not the actual look
The BBC announce it earlier, so pictures aren't leaked of the new Doctor on set, and spread across everywhere. They want to be the ones to announce it, not the press. If I'm being honest I would try and keep it a secret as long as I can.
It was also a good idea to announce it while Series 10 was still recent, rather than waiting a few months, at which point the general public might not be as interested.
It was planned for the doctor falls to be his last story but Chibnall didn’t want to start on a Christmas special so we got the equally brilliant Twice upon a Time
On Christmas Day when 12 is regenerating, I don't know whether to be happy to see 13 or to be sad to watch 12 disappear. i'll probably be crying too much to see the TV anyway.
No, I won't.Peter is and always be MY Doctor..... and I've been watching Doctor Who for over forty years and NO actor has had me hooked like Peter's Doctor.
Great job. Would love to see the, "Doctor... I let you go" speech happening in 12's mind while he's really on the floor (like in Heaven Sent). Then 13 standing up (using footage from falling from space into the train car).
I'm glad they decided to the special otherwise they wouldn't have brought back the 1st doctor. Also its a bit of a tradition now having the doctor regenerate at the end of the Christmas special and its a two doctor episode which is a bonus . I'm gonna miss peter capaldi :(
Amazing, much better than the Christmas finale regeneration scene and I must say, this would have been the better way for Capaldi to bow out instead of sitting through that drawn out, half assed and pointless episode we were made to watch on Saturday!
Oh... that would've made things so collar tugging awkward between the 2 Doctors in Twice Upon a Time. You heard the way the 1st Doctor talked about women and to Bill at times. Imagine him saying that stuff in relation to his own future self.
Yes, but at the end of Twice upon a Time, the first doctor was fine with it because he had literally seen the future and his future incarnations (which kinda begs the question and adds in a HUGE plothole - how can the doctor not recollect his original four incarnations? I mean they literally met on Gallifrey unless it's the same as what can be explained with The 50th anniversary episode where because the timeline has now changed, the War Doctor, Tenth Doctor and Eleventh Doctor don't ever remember saving Gallifrey) because the first doctors last words were "Well then...the long way around!" before he regenerated into Hartnell's doctor.
@@GenGamesUniverse well, it's been explained before that a past Doctor/Timelord in general, cannot remember encounters with their future selves because time won't let them (i.e Missy telling The Master when he asks how many times they regenerate before he becomes her, her memories between when she was him to when she became her are very fuzzy). A good example being in Time Crash and 10 meets 6. 10 immediately remembers the meeting upon seeing 6, but only because it was locked away in 6's subconscious until 6 became 10 because 10 could remember being 6 meeting 10 when 10 was 6 (yes, very confusing wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff). In Day of The Doctor, 11 admits that he can vaguely remember what was going to happen, but not everything, criticizing 10 for not paying enough attention for when he's 11 and needs to remember it himself. The same clearly happens to the first Doctor and might even help to explain the headache 2 had right after waking up. He was having his memories of his encounter with 12 locked away at the exact same time 2's personality was setting in to erase 1's. Did your brain hurt trying to read and understand that? Because my head hurts and I'm the one who bloody wrote it!
Thank you. With this I've been able to edit The Doctor Falls into a much better episode. Gonna port it to VHS at some point and let it take the place of the original in my collection
It undermines Missy as a separate character that we all thought was the Master, who, after 46 years of being evil, is shown wanting to change. Earlier instances of him helping The Doctor like Logopolis and The End of Time don't really count for this, as it was still for his own gain. However, in 'The Doctor Falls', Missy kills her previous self, even though it won't give her anything. It's only to prove to him that it's time to stand with the Doctor. In other words, she's done this "without hope, without witness, without reward", as The Doctor says at the execution in Extremis and repeats as he prepares for the battle in The Doctor Falls. And now let's say that Missy was The Doctor all along. The Doctor has been redeemed from... what, exactly? He has already saved the universe again and again and again "without hope, without witness, without reward", so the big development that Missy goes through makes absolutely zero sense, as The Doctor already operates like that and has operated in that way for thousands of years. Instead of being a big moment of character development for Missy, it would just become a weird and unnecessary character deviation for The Doctor.
Yes, but that's what Chris Chibnall didn't want, and I agree with him. It's a pain to have to integrate Christmas with an introductory story for a new Doctor. Even with the Christmas Invasion, the Doctor is only in about 5 minutes of it since he's unconscious in the bed for most of the episode.
Fun fact series 10 of the revival era of doctor who was originally gonna end with the doctor Regenerating. But it was changed due to Chris Chibnall not wanting to start his era with a Christmas special.
Would have preferred something like this, a quiet lying-down regeneration like the original series. I'm glad every regeneration feels like such a huge event now and all that, but having the Tardis literally explode every time is getting a little old.
It just occurred to me that going to the bathroom for the first time is going to be a bit confusing. Providing of course male Galafreyains have human like genitalia.
I'm pretty sure that after 2000 years of experience doing all kinds of crazy stuff around the universe, minor anatomical differences will not confuse the Doctor that much.
I'm waiting for the Twelfth Doctor to walk past a mirror and see the Thirteenth Doctor as his reflection. It probably won't happen, but it would be a nice callback to The Power of the Daleks.
or they could've had a colin baker-eqse situation and made the christmas special like the christmas invasion with the doctor getting used to her new body.
I feel like this is much more fitting for Capaldi's doctor. No massive monologue, no 'I don't want to go' just a flash of light and the new doctors wakes up. Also, this would wipe Twice Apon a Time from Canon and anything that does that is fine by me.
If chibby wasnt a lazy writer, then this would have happened. The regeneration was meant to be here with capaldi lying down, like in the classic seriws but Chibnall didnt (wasnt capable of) writing a christmas episode, as we later found out when he axed them entirely.
Not really. This track fits the scene as I've edited it, as a triumphant 'Doctor' repetition scene. Every Christmas is Last Christmas would fit a regeneration following a long speech, something not shown in this video.
We don't know exactly how the original scene would have taken place before they added the extra bit for the Christmas special, but I think this is a fairly likely scenario, since it happens late enough for Bill's ending to have happened but early enough to avoid the 'I don't want to change again', which sounds like a plot thread added to allow for the Christmas special.
No, I think he meant Simm regenerating into Gomez, since he last shot of Simm is of him lying down in the lift, which could give the impression that he regenerates lying down - the truth is we don't know.
This would have been great, a proper classic series style regeneration to end Moffat’s era and Capaldi’s, both of whom brought a lot of the gravitas of the classic series back (as did Smith in many ways). If only he didn’t regenerate into Whitaker, though, and we’d got a better writer than Chibnall. Neither seem to understand the character, especially with all the development and changes to him through Eleven and Twelve’s run. It’s like they tried to go back to Ten’s character but make it more cringey- and female, which I don’t think works for the Doctor. Whittaker might have made an okay Romana if they had thought a bit more. Regardless, this would have been a better regeneration scene and they still could have done Twice Upon a Time with a New Doctor had they wanted to.
I cried, badly, when Capaldi regenerated. But if this is how they done it, I would have genuinely bawled my eyes out, like a blubbering baby. I wouldn't have been a pretty sight. That scene of him just laying there on the floor, the view from above, as he regenerates. It's heart-wrenching.
