He fired his regeneration energy into his spare hand that caused the regeneration to stop, then later he got killed by radiation and set the tardis on fire!
I kinda wish this had been the way they handled the eventual regeneration. Simply because it was never intended to be a major plot device, just a convenient way to switch out the actors. It should just be on an adventure the Doctor is killed, says "Oh, I'm regenerating", the change happens and they get on with it. Sure, take an episode for introductory "recovery" but then get back to work.
I love how Rose is freaking out at the idea of the Doctor changing, while Jack just shouts, "Good luck, Doctor!" And did he seem slightly disappointed at the end when the Doctor didn't change, or is that just me?
Have you noticed how Daleks can kill everyone in seconds, except the doctor? (This + The Big Bang) Also, normally the extermination beam covers their entire body, with the Doctor (both times), just the top half
@gongames Under the assumption that the regeneration seen here counts as a full one, then that would mean David Tennant is Doctor #10 and 11. Matt Smith is Doctor #12. A Time Lord had 13 incarnations (12 regenerations), so based on the initial assumption Matt Smith was regenerating into Doctor #13--his final incarnation. Hope that helps!
@mitmfan a time lord can regenerate lots of times.. in the episode of the sarah jane adventures with matt smith as the doctor he is ask how many times and he replies 507 but when it is first stated in The Deadly Assassin (1976) that a Time Lord can regenerate twelve times i'm guess that the they didn't think doctor who was guna catch on plus as many companions have found out... the doctor lies
what is also different in the doctor's regenerations (and the master's) now since chris eccleston is that when starts his regeneration cycle flame (like) golden energy bursts from his head and arms / hands; also when david tennant changed to matt smith it seemed a LONG time from when he was fatally hurt to the actual regeneration, and when matt smith started regenerating in 'the impossible astronaut', it didn't take anywhere near as long to regenerate (or start to really) - hmmm curious
@darrell190967 I think it really depends on the injury. Christopher Eccleston was killed by the strain of absorbing the Time Vortex. Tennant by Radiation Poisioning which usually takes a while to kill someone. Matt was shot in the heart with a laser pistol...so the regeneration would have to occur quickly in order to save his life.
@darrell190967 the reason for the tennant to smith change was long is because a time lord can put off for a certain amount of time when they regenerate and like the master at the end of series 3, they can choose if they want to regenerate or die :)
@darrell190967 with 10, its believed he was also holding back the regeneration so he could say goodbye to all his companions plus he really didn't want to go.
@darrell190967 thats because the 10th doctor held off the regenaration long enough to say goodbye to everyone who knew him as the 10th doctor, but because he held it back the regenaration energy built up thus the vilontly explosive regenaration.
@darrell190967 Actually, I read somewhere (so sorry if I am wrong) that the tenth doctor forcibly kepy back his regeneration so he could go and meet his companions first. Then when he finally let it out, it turned out violent and even set the TARDIS on fire. Again, I am sorry if I am wrong, but I remember reading this from somewhere. Hope it helps.
@AnimalsInMyHeart The Doctor only has a limited number of lives, once he goes through them? That's it, he's dead. Also? The Tenth incarnation of the Doctor grew rather attached to his persona, perhaps more so than any other version of the Doctor. He simply didn't want to let go of who he was at the time.
@AnimalsInMyHeart I'm still on the fence if that's legit - just like the whole "half human" thing. Don't forget what River said: "The Doctor lies...", of course, he could be lying about only having 13 as well lol In any case, just because he has over 500, still no reason to waste them. I think the Second Doctor once commented in Power of The Daleks that regeneration is something no Time Lord would ever willingly submit themselves to, it's an agonizing process.
@AnimalsInMyHeart Rassilon gave all the timelords fighting in the war as many regenerations as possible without mutation occuring he pushed timelord regeneration ability to its limits 507 is the doctors limit
@jackjackjackjackful He redirected his regeneration energy into his severed hand. When Donna touched it, a metacrisis occurred, where his hand formed into a half human Doctor and the DoctorDonna of the Ood prophecy. Donna couldn't handle a Time Lord consciousness, so the Doctor removed all memories of their time together, which is why Journey's End was Donna's last adventure with the Doctor. The Clone Doctor killed the Daleks and was sent with Rose to Pete's World.
Because he didn't have it hand then, duh. the hand regenerated into a half-human version of the Doctor, and that doctor is now in the alternate universe with Rose. Don't you rememeber?
@gr33n3y13 his hand became another doctor because of the residule regeneration energy he put into it to stop him from changing form. the clone doctor then went with rose to the paralell world. he couldn't chop his hand off again because it only came back last time becuase he was still in his regeneration cycle.
you forgot to mention that there has only been one timelord who has broke the 12 regeneration limit. the doctor may very well be the second to break that limit too. only time will tell :)
I would rather see doctor who end on a high note, after reaching the end of his 13th and final life then see it prolong for so long until the show eventualy becomes overdone and stale.
@kiaoken No its defantly true because obviously thats one regen used on journys end and it's nearly over dw is massive so they wana get around it asap so they can continue with dw as it is. But what if matt does it for as along as tom baker you never know lol
@kiaoken But its literally impossible for that to happen. The amazing thing about DW is that anything that floats into your head could be possible in happening within the show. Anything is possible. Unless the writers are very narrow minded, it cannot be come repetitive because he travels, and they partially revenvent the shoe through each generation, so it should be ok tbh.
@CloneUnit642 I think there was a regen used BUT he is still the 10th and matt smith the 11th. Although unlimited regens are here now. To be confirmed on sja
That stand he did at 0:30 i wonder if its the same one from the First episode of when the ninth doc changes......also...It would be better if they have him regenerate but they have to wait for the final......GRR!
What is strange is that the Doctor was trying to stand up for his regeneration. Ever since Doctor Who returned, he's always stood up for regenerations. It's almost like a tradition!
I think cause it'd just look like he's spazzing on the floor...Which would be awkward. Doctor Who writers/director wants to make you cry...Not make you think "Wtf?" at a moment that would leave you on the edge of your seat.
His head disappears also it took him one whole week to regenerate?

I feel the New Series Fireworks Regeneration is a bit over used now.
I mean, within Six Years, it has been used like Seven or Eight Times!
The special thing on Regeneration is the effect of it, along with seeing who the new Doc is.
So, if the Doctor gets a new Regeration effect, when he does it next time, That would be nice.
